属天的奥秘 # 6729
6729. “法老的女儿下来” 表那里的宗教信仰. 这从 “女儿” 的含义清楚可知, “女儿” 是指对真理和良善的情感, 因此是指教会 (参看2362, 3963节, 在反面意义上是指对虚假和邪恶的情感, 因此是指源于它们的宗教信仰 (3024节). 此处之所以表示源于虚假记忆知识的宗教信仰, 是因为这是法老的女儿; 而 “法老” 在此代表虚假的记忆知识 (参看6651, 6679, 6683, 6692节). 在圣言中, “女儿” 表示教会, 这一点从众多经文可以看出来, 其中教会被称为 “锡安的女儿或女子”, “耶路撒冷的女儿或女子”; “女儿” 还表示许多民族的虚假宗教信仰, 这一点也可从经文看出来, 其中这些宗教被称为 “女儿或女子”, 如: “推罗的女儿或女子” (诗篇 45:12); “以东的女儿或女子” (耶利米哀歌 4:22); “迦勒底和巴比伦的女儿或女子” (以赛亚书 47:1, 5; 耶利米书 50:41, 42; 51:33; 撒迦利亚书 2:7; 诗篇 137:8); “非利士人的女儿或女子” (以西结书 16:27, 57); “他施的女儿或女子” (以赛亚书 23:10); 耶利米书中 “埃及的女儿或女子”:
埃及的处女哪, 可以上基列取乳香去. 住在埃及的女子哪, 要制造移居的器皿. 埃及的女子必然蒙羞, 必交在北方人民的手中. (耶利米书 46:11, 19, 24)
“埃及的女子或女儿” 表示对推理的情感, 这种推理因否定态度掌权而仰赖记忆知识, 即推理信之真理是不是真的. 因此, 她表示源于推理的那种宗教信仰, 这种宗教信仰具有这种性质: 除了虚假什么也不信.
Amos 4
1
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, "Bring us drinks!"
2
The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness that behold, "The days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
3
You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon," says Yahweh.
4
"Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
5
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel," says the Lord Yahweh.
6
"I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me," says Yahweh.
7
"I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. one place was rained on, and the piece where it didn't rain withered.
8
So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you haven't returned to me," says Yahweh.
9
"I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me," says Yahweh.
10
"I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me," says Yahweh.
11
"I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven't returned to me," says Yahweh.
12
"Therefore thus will I do to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
13
For, behold, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the Earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name."
