Genesis 15

Studie

   

1 His itaque transactis, factus est sermo Domini ad Abram per visionem dicens : Noli timere, Abram : ego protector tuus sum, et merces tua magna nimis.

2 Dixitque Abram : Domine Deus, quid dabis mihi ? ego vadam absque liberis, et filius procuratoris domus meæ iste Damascus Eliezer.

3 Addiditque Abram : Mihi autem non dedisti semen, et ecce vernaculus meus, hæres meus erit.

4 Statimque sermo Domini factus est ad eum, dicens : Non erit hic hæres tuus, sed qui egredietur de utero tuo, ipsum habebis hæredem.

5 Eduxitque eum foras, et ait illi : Suscipe cælum, et numera stellas, si potes. Et dixit ei : Sic erit semen tuum.

6 Credidit Abram Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam.

7 Dixitque ad eum : Ego Dominus qui eduxi te de Ur Chaldæorum ut darem tibi terram istam, et possideres eam.

8 At ille ait : Domine Deus, unde scire possum quod possessurus sim eam ?

9 Et respondens Dominus : Sume, inquit, mihi vaccam trienem, et capram trimam, et arietem annorum trium, turturem quoque et columbam.

10 Qui tollens universa hæc, divisit ea per medium, et utrasque partes contra se altrinsecus posuit ; aves autem non divisit.

11 Descenderuntque volucres super cadavera, et abigebat eas Abram.

12 Cumque sol occumberet, sopor irruit super Abram, et horror magnus et tenebrosus invasit eum.

13 Dictumque est ad eum : Scito prænoscens quod peregrinum futurum sit semen tuum in terra non sua, et subjicient eos servituti, et affligent quadringentis annis.

14 Verumtamen gentem, cui servituri sunt, ego judicabo : et post hæc egredientur cum magna substantia.

15 Tu autem ibis ad patres tuos in pace, sepultus in senectute bona.

16 Generatione autem quarta revertentur huc : necdum enim completæ sunt iniquitates Amorrhæorum usque ad præsens tempus.

17 Cum ergo occubuisset sol, facta est caligo tenebrosa, et apparuit clibanus fumans, et lampas ignis transiens inter divisiones illas.

18 In illo die pepigit Dominus fœdus cum Abram, dicens : Semini tuo dabo terram hanc a fluvio Ægypti usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten,

19 Cinæos, et Cenezæos, Cedmonæos,

20 et Hethæos, et Pherezæos, Raphaim quoque,

21 et Amorrhæos, et Chananæos, et Gergesæos, et Jebusæos.

After

Instead, spiritual reality is structured on the basis of spiritual state, or the loves and thoughts of angels. These loves and thoughts connect in chains of cause and effect, which angels experience much as we experience time. One thought flows into another on the spiritual level, and angels sense that progression the same way we sense the progression of one moment flowing into another. And when angels have thoughts and feelings that are similar, they experience a closeness that is very much the same as our experience of physical closeness; their idea of “space” is the variation in thoughts and affections held by spirits throughout the spiritual world.When the Bible describes something as “after” something else, then, the spiritual meaning has to do with the progression of spiritual states; it is a new spiritual state emerging from the one before it. And since higher states flow into lower states, the things coming “after” tend to be the lower, more external ones. For instance, the deep, internal desire to be good to others flows of its own accord into specific ideas of specific good things we can do. Those specific ideas, then, would be “after” the desire to be good.According to Swedenborg, time and space don’t exist in spiritual reality; they are purely natural things that exist only on the physical plane. This means that one spiritual thing can’t happen “after” another spiritual thing in time, because there is no time. And one spiritual thing can’t follow “after” another in space because there is no space.
