属天的奥秘 # 1487
1487. “耶和华降大灾与法老” 表记忆的知识被摧毁. 这从 “法老” 的含义清楚可知, “法老” 一般表知识, 因此表构成那知识的记忆; 从 “降大灾” 表被摧毁的含义也可知. 至于记忆的知识, 情况是这样: 它们是童年时仅仅为了知道而获得的; 对主而言, 它们是通过对真理的情感出于快乐获得的. 童年所获得的记忆知识非常多, 但主都将它们安排得井然有序, 以便它们能服务于用; 首先, 能使人思考; 然后, 它们藉着思考而有用处; 最后是为了这一切能奏效, 也就是说, 他的真生命就在于用, 是用的生命. 这些就是童年获得的记忆知识所产生的事物; 没有它们, 外在人永远无法与内在人结合, 同时变成用. 当人变成用时, 即当他通过用的目的思考一切 (即便不是凭明显的思考, 也会凭通过明显思考所获得的性情而进行的默想), 并为了用的目的而做一切时, 已起到第一个作用, 就是使人变得理性的记忆知识由于不再有用, 就会被摧毁, 依此类推. 这些就是此处 “耶和华降大灾与法老” 这句话所表示的事物.
Genesis 17:1-8
1
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.
2
I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."
3
Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
4
"As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5
Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6
I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
7
I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
8
I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God."
