780. 主为了不断与我同在, 已将祂的圣言灵义展现给我, 其中的圣真就在自己的光中, 主不断在这光里。 因为祂只以灵义, 而非其它任何方式呈现在圣言中。 祂藉灵义之光进入被字义遮蔽的阴影。 这好比阳光穿透其间的云层。 如上所述, 圣言字义就象云, 灵义就是荣耀, 主自己就是发光的太阳, 因此主就是圣言。 从以下经文清楚可知, 主驾云降临时满带的荣耀 (马太福音24:30) 表示在自己光里的圣真, 圣言灵义就在这圣真的光明中:

有人声在旷野喊着说, 预备耶和华的路; 耶和华的荣耀必然显现, 凡有血气的必一同看见。 (以赛亚40:3, 5)

发光! 因为你的光已经来到! 耶和华的荣耀已升起来照耀你。 (以赛亚60:1到末尾)

我立你作人民的约, 作异教徒的光, 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。 (以赛亚42:6, 8; 48:11)

你的光就必发现如早晨的光; 耶和华的荣光必作你的后盾。 (以赛亚书58:8)

全地要被耶和华的荣耀充满。 (民数记14:21; 以赛亚6:1-3; 66:18)

太初有道; 在祂里面有生命, 这生命就是人的光。 那光是真光。 道成了肉身, 我们见过祂的荣光, 正是从父而来的独生子的荣光。 (约翰福音1:1, 4, 9, 14)

诸天述说神的荣耀。 (诗篇19:1)

神的荣耀光照圣城耶路撒冷, 又有羔羊为城的灯。 列国要在城的光里行走 (启示录21:23-24) 等等。

“荣耀”表完满的圣真, 因为天堂的一切荣光都来自主发出的光, 从显为太阳的主那里发出的光, 本质上就是圣真。

Intellectual things -- ideas, knowledge, facts, even insight and understanding -- are more separate and free-standing than emotional things, and it's easier to imagine numbering them as individual things. Our loves and affections tend to be more amorphous -- they can certainly be powerful, but would be harder to measure. Using words like “much,” “many,” myriad” and “multitude” to describe a collection of things gives the sense that there is an exact number, even if we don't know what it is and don't want to bother trying to count. These words, then, are used in the Bible in reference to intellectual things -- our thoughts, knowledge and concepts. Words that indicate largeness without the idea of number -- “great” is a common one -- generally refer to loves, affections and the desire for good. Here's one way to think about this: Say you want to take some food to a friend who just had a baby. That's a desire for good (assuming you're doing it from genuinely good motives). To actually do it, though, takes dozens of thoughts, ideas, facts and knowledges. What does she like to eat? What do you have to cook? What do you cook well? Can you keep it hot getting to her house? Is it nutritious? Does she have any allergies? So one good desire can bring a multitude of ideas into play.
