属天的奥秘 # 2798
2798. “亚伯拉罕取了燔祭的柴” 表公义的功德. 这从前面的解释和说明 (2784节) 清楚可知, 故无需要进一步解释.
2798a.“放在 (他儿子) 以撒身上” 表它, 就是公义的功德与神圣理性相联结. 这从 “以撒” 的代表性和 “放在以撒身上” 的含义清楚可知: “以撒” 是指主的神圣理性, 如前面频繁所述; “放在以撒身上” 是指联结它. 他被称为 “他儿子”, 是因为主的神性人不仅从耶和华成孕, 还从耶和华出生. 从主的圣言清楚可知, 主从耶和华成孕, 故祂被称为 “至高者的儿子”, “神的儿子”, “父的独生子” (马太福音 2:15; 3:16-17; 16:13-17; 17:5; 27:43, 54; 马可福音 1:10; 9:7, 9; 14:61-62; 路加福音 1:31-32, 35; 3:21-22; 9:35; 10:22; 约翰福音 1:14, 18, 50; 3:13, 16-18; 5:20-27; 6:69; 9:34-35, 38; 10:35-36; 20:30-31), 此外在很多其它地方, 祂称耶和华为祂的 “父”.
从圣言还能清楚可知, 祂和其他人一样, 从童女马利亚出生. 但祂再次出生, 也就是变成神性时, 是通过在祂里面的耶和华, 就生命的存在而言, 耶和华就是祂自己. 神性本质与人性本质是彼此相互融合的, 以便祂将神性本质与人性本质, 并人性本质与神性本质融合起来 (参看 1921, 1999, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2083, 2508, 2523, 2618, 2628, 2632, 2728, 2729节). 由此清楚可知, 主凭自己的力量在自己里面将人性变成神性, 并由此变成公义. 当主经历最内在的试探时, 联结神圣理性的, 是公义的功德. 祂通过神圣理性争战, 并且这神圣理性是恶魔所攻击反对的, 直到祂也荣耀那神圣理性. 这些就是 “亚伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他儿子以撒身上” 在内义上所表示的事, 这些也是这些话被阅读时, 天使所觉察到的事.
Apocalypse Revealed # 892
892. "And murderers, the sexually licentious, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars." This symbolizes all those people who have no regard for the Ten Commandments, and do not refrain from any of the evils named there as sins, and therefore live caught up in them.
What is symbolically meant on three levels, natural, spiritual and celestial, by these four of the Ten Commandments - namely, you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, and you shall not bear false witness - may be seen in The Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem, 62-91. Consequently there is no need to expound them here again.
However, in place of the seventh commandment not to steal, listed here are sorcerers and idolaters, and sorcerers symbolize people who seek truths, which they falsify in order to use them to defend falsities and evils, as those do who take this truth, that no one can do good of himself, and use it to defend faith alone. For this is a type of spiritual theft. Moreover, what enchantments are may be seen in no. 462 above. Idolaters symbolize people who institute worship, or take part in worship, not from the Word, thus not from the Lord, but from their own intelligence (no. 459), as those do also who, on the basis of a single statement of Paul's, 1 wrongly interpreted, and not on the basis of any of the Lord's words, have fabricated the whole doctrine of the church; and this, too, is a type of spiritual theft. Liars symbolize people caught up in falsities arising from evil (no. 924).
