In the Word, “light” in the highest sense represents Divine Truth: knowledge, ideas, understanding that come to us from the Lord. In lesser degrees -- the light of a lamp, the light of the moon and so forth -- it represents lower levels of truth, ideas and understanding drawn from more earthly sources. Also, the sun in the Word represents the Lord, with its heat representing the divine love and its light representing the divine wisdom. That wisdom flows into our minds and enters our lives in the form of truth -- things we can know and ponder that lead us and help us to be good people. This connection between light and thought is one of many spiritual/natural relationships that's embedded in our common language. People “see the light” when they understand something; we try to “shed some light” by bringing new thoughts to a difficult question; people are “enlightened” when they get new information or a more complete understanding of something. And a light bulb in a cartoon represents an idea!

6905. “为要祭祀耶和华我们的神” 表因此对主的敬拜. 这从 “祭祀” 的含义清楚可知, “祭祀” 是指总体上的敬拜 (参看923节); 因为在希伯来教会, 以及后来在雅各的后代当中, 一切敬拜都涉及祭祀, 这一点可从以下事实看出来: 他们天天献祭, 每逢节期多次献祭; 当人们被允许行使祭司职分, 或经历洁净时, 他们也会献祭; 还有赎罪祭, 赎愆祭, 以及还愿祭, 甘心祭. 这一切证明, “祭祀” 表示总体上的敬拜. “祭祀耶和华神” 就表示对主的敬拜, 这一点从以下事实很明显地看出来: 祭祀只代表主和来自祂的神性属天和属灵事物 (参看1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3519节), 并不代表其它任何东西; 还有, 在圣言中, “耶和华神” 只表示主, 并不表示其他人 (参看6903节); “耶和华” 表示祂的神性存在, “神” 表示来自那神性存在的神性彰显; 因此, “耶和华” 表示祂的神性之爱的神性良善, “神” 表示从祂的神性良善发出的神性真理.
