6658. “离开这地而上去” 表教会将由此得以建立. 这从 “上去” 和 “地” 的含义清楚可知: “上去” 是指被提升, 即被提升至教会更内在的事物 (参看3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817, 6007节); “地”, 此处是指歌珊地, 是指教会, 如前所述 (6649节). “离开这地上去, 并进入迦南地” 所表示的被提升至教会更内在的事物, 是指教会将得以建立. 诚然, 当一个人出于情感行善时, 教会就已经在他里面建立了; 然而, 在他与邪恶和虚假争战, 从而经历试探之前, 它仍未完全建立起来. 只有经历了这一切之后, 他才成为一个真正的教会, 在这时被引入天堂; 把以色列人带到迦南地就代表这种引入.

According to Swedenborg, a person's name in the Bible represents his or her entire spiritual nature, their whole state of love (good or evil) and thought (from heavenly wisdom to infernal insanity). This is why the name of the Lord is so important; it represents and embodies His perfect love and perfect wisdom, which is everything that we should worship and follow. It's easy to see that names are important in the Bible. Jehovah changed Abram and Sarai to Abraham and Sarah, changed Jacob to Israel and included in the Ten Commandments the order that believers "shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." In the New Testament, Zacharias was told to name John the Baptist "John," and both Joseph (Matthew 1:21) and Mary (Luke 1:31) were told to name Jesus "Jesus." Jesus himself renamed Simon as Peter, and included the phrase "hallowed be thy name" in the Lord's prayer.
