천국과 지옥 # 170
170. 제19장
천국 안의 표상과 외관
자연적 빛 1 에 의해서만 생각하는 사람은 천국에도 지상의 사물과 같은 사물이 있다는 것을 이해하기 어려울 것이다. 그런 사람은 자연적 차원의 인지능력에 의해, 천사들은 정신적 존재일 뿐이며 정신적 존재는 무슨 기체 같아서 눈도 없고 따라서 눈으로 볼 대상도 없을 거라는 고정관념을 이미 만들어 놓았기 때문이다. 그러나 천사들에게는 사람의 모든 감각이 있고 그것도 사람보다 훨씬 뛰어나다. 천사들에게 사물을 보게 해주는 빛은 이 세상 사람이 보는 빛보다 훨씬 더 밝다. 천사들은 가장 완벽한 형상의 사람이며 모든 감각을 사용한다는 것은 이미(73-77항) 말한 바 있다. 천국 빛이 이 세상 빛보다 훨씬 더 밝다는 것도 앞(126-132항)에 기록했다.
Poznámky pod čarou:
1. 여기서 ‘자연적 빛’은 실제의 물리적 빛이 아니라 자연적 차원의 인지능력(the power of mental perception)을 의미한다. 저자는 사람이 어떤 차원에서 인지하고 사고하는가를 표현할 때 ‘-빛으로 본다’ ‘-빛 안에 있다’는 말을 자주 사용한다. 이것은 사람으로 하여금 사고하고 이해하게 하는 힘이 빛에 상응하기 때문이며 이로 인해 영계에서는 모든 정신작용의 근원인 하나님의 진리가 실제로 빛으로 나타나기 때문이다. 이 책 제15장 ‘천국의 빛과 열’에 자세한 설명이 나와 있다.
Daniel 8:2-14
2
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had there seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
7
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8
Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
10
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
