에스겔 41

Studie

   

1 그가 나를 데리고 성소에 이르러 그 문벽을 척량하니 이편 두께도 육척이요 저편 두께도 육척이라 두께가 이와 같으며

2 그 문통의 광이 십척이요 문통 이편 벽의 광이 오척이요 저편 벽의 광이 오척이며 그가 성소를 척량하니 그 장이 사십척이요 그 광이 이십척이며

3 그가 안으로 들어가서 내전 문통의 벽을 척량하니 두께가 이척이요 문통이 육척이요 문통의 벽의 광이 각기 칠척이며

4 그가 내전을 척량하니 장이 이십척이요 광이 이십척이라 그가 내게 이르되 이는 지성소니라 하고

5 전의 벽을 척량하니 두께가 육척이며 전 삼면에 골방이 있는데 광이 각기 사척이며

6 골방은 삼층인데 골방 위에 골방이 있어 모두 삼십이라 그 삼면 골방이 전 벽 밖으로 그 벽에 의지하였고 전 벽 속은 범하지 아니하였으며

7 이 두루 있는 골방이 그 층이 높아갈수록 넓으므로 전에 둘린 이골방이 높아갈수록 전에 가까와졌으나 전의 넓이는 아래 위가 같으며 골방은 아랫층에서 중층으로 윗층에 올라가게 되었더라

8 내가 보니 전 삼면의 지대 곧 모든 골방 밑 지대의 고가 한 장대 곧 큰 자로 육척인데

9 전을 의지한 그 골방 바깥벽 두께는 오척이요 그 외에 빈 터가 남았으며

10 전 골방 삼면에 광이 이십척 되는 뜰이 둘려 있으며

11 그 골방 문은 다 빈 터로 향하였는데 한 문은 북으로 향하였고 한 문은 남으로 향하였으며 그 둘려 있는 빈 터의 광은 오척이더라

12 서편 뜰 뒤에 건물이 있는데 광이 칠십척이요 장이 구십척이며 그 사면 벽의 두께가 오척이더라

13 그가 전을 척량하니 장이 일백척이요 또 서편 뜰과 그 건물과 그 벽을 합하여 장이 일백척이요

14 전 전면의 광이 일백척이요 그 앞 동향한 뜰의 광도 그러하며

15 그가 뒷뜰 뒤에 있는 건물을 척량하니 그 좌우편 다락까지 일백 척이더라 내전과 외전과 그 뜰의 현관과

16 문통 벽과 닫힌 창과 삼면에 둘려 있는 다락은 문통 안편에서부터 땅에서 창까지 널판으로 가리웠고 (창은 이미 닫히었더라)

17 문통 위와 내전과 외전의 사면 벽도 다 그러하니 곧 척량한 대소 대로며

18 널판에는 그룹들과 종려나무를 새겼는데 두 그룹 사이에 종려나무 하나가 있으며 매 그룹에 두 얼굴이 있으니

19 하나는 사람의 얼굴이라 이편 종려나무를 향하였고 하나는 어린 사자의 얼굴이라 저편 종려나무를 향하였으며 온 전 사면이 다 그러하여

20 땅에서부터 문통 위에까지 그룹들과 종려나무들을 새겼으니 성전벽이 다 그러하더라

21 외전 문설주는 네모졌고 내전 전면에 있는 식양은 이러하니

22 곧 나무 제단의 고가 삼척이요 장이 이척이며 그 모퉁이와 옆과 면을 다 나무로 만들었더라 그가 내게 이르되 이는 여호와의 앞의 상이라 하더라

23 내전과 외전에 각기 문이 있는데

24 문마다 각기 두 문짝 곧 접치는 두 문짝이 있어 이 문에 두 짝이요 저 문에 두 짝이며

25 이 성전 문에 그룹과 종려나무를 새겼는데 벽에 있는 것과 같고 현관 앞에는 나무 디딤판이 있으며

26 현관 좌우편에는 닫힌 창도 있고 종려나무도 새겼고 전의 골방과 디딤판도 그러하더라

Apocalypse Explained # 77

77. And I fell at His feet, signifies adoration from humiliation of heart in presence of the Divine. This is evident from the signification of "falling at the feet," as being adoration from humiliation. Humiliation of heart is meant, because humiliation that springs from the heart in presence of the Divine produces that prostration. All affections, whatsoever they are, have corresponding gestures in the body. Into these gestures the body is borne and falls as of itself, when man is interiorly in the affection. Humiliation before a man produces a bowing down, according to the estimation of him; but in presence of the Divine it produces total prostration, especially when man thinks that the Divine in respect to power and wisdom is everything, and man in comparison is nothing, or that from the Divine is all good and from man nothing but evil.

When man is in this acknowledgment from the heart he comes as it were out of himself, and thence falls upon his face, and when he is thus out of himself he also is removed from the proprium [what is his own], which in itself is wholly evil; when this is removed, the Divine fills him and raises him up; not that the Divine desires such humiliation on its account, but because evil is then removed, and so far as evil is removed with man so far the Divine flows in; for evil alone stands in the way. (An example of such humiliation may be seen in the little work on the Earths in the Universe 91 .) Man's state when the Divine presence with him removes proprium [what is his own], and afterwards infills him, is thus described in this verse: "When I saw Him I fell at His feet as dead; and He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not." This state is more fully described in Daniel:

I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold a Man clothed in linen, His face as the appearance of lightning, and His eyes as lamps of fire, and His feet like the splendor of burnished brass. I alone saw the vision; but the men that were with me saw it not; but great fear fell upon them, and they fled. And there remained no strength in me; and I came into a deep sleep, and my face upon the ground. But lo, a hand touched me, and set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands, and He said, Fear not (Daniel 10:5-12).

This state is also described in Ezekiel, when he saw the cherubs, by which is signified the Lord in respect to Providence:

When I saw the glory of Jehovah, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of One that spoke. And He said unto me, son of man, stand upon thy feet, that I may speak to thee. And the spirit entered into me when He spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, and I heard Him that spake unto me (Ezekiel 1:28; 2:1-2; 3:24).

Likewise also, when Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James, and John, of which it is thus written in Matthew:

While Peter was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold, a voice out of the cloud saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. And when the disciples heard these things they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes they saw no one save Jesus only (Matthew 17:5-8).

From this it is apparent of what nature is the presence of the Divine Human of the Lord with man, when man is in a state of humiliation of heart, namely, that he falls upon his face, and by the touch of the Lord's hand is raised upon his feet. It was plainly the presence of the Lord in respect to the Divine Human; since it was the "Son of man" who was in the midst of the lampstands that appeared in this way before John; and the "Son of man" is the Lord as to the Divine Human, see above n. 63. It was similar with the disciples when the Lord was transfigured; it is therefore also said that "when they lifted up their eyes they saw no one save Jesus only." That it was also the Lord as to the Divine Human who was seen by Daniel and Ezekiel, is evident from the words of the Lord himself, that:

No one hath heard the Father's voice at any time, nor seen His form (John 5:37; see also John 1:18).

Moreover, that men worshiped the Lord when He was in the world, by falling upon the face at His feet, may be seen in Matthew 28:9; and in Mark 7:25-26; Luke 8:41; 17:15-16, 18; and in John 11:32.

Matthew 28

Studie

   

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
