Apocalypsis Revelata #913
913. Quod "aurum" significet bonum amoris, est quia metalla aeque ac omnia et singula quae apparent in mundo naturali, correspondent; aurum bono amoris, argentum veris sapientiae, cuprum seu aes bono charitatis, ac ferrum veris fidei, Inde est, quod haec metalla etiam sint in Mundo spirituali, quoniam omnia quae ibi apparent, sunt correspondentiae; correspondent enim affectionibus et inde cogitationibus angelorum, quae in se spiritualia sunt. Quod "aurum" ex correspondentia significet bonum amoris, constare potest ex his locis:
"Suadeo tibi emere a Me Aurum exploratum igne, ut ditatus sis," (Apocalypsis 3:18);
"Quomodo obscuratum est Aurum, mutatum est Obryzum Optimum; effusi sunt Lapides sanctitatis in capite omnium platearum: filii Zionis aestimati pares Auro puro," (Threni 4:1-2);
"Animas pauperum servabit, et dabit illis ex Auro Schebae," (Psalm. 72:13, 15); 1
"Pro aere adducam Aurum, et pro ferro argentum, et pro lignis aes, et pro lapidibus ferrum; et ponam censum tuum pacem, et exactores tuos justitiam," (Esaias 60:17);
"Ecce sapiens tu, ullum occultum non latuit te; in sapientia tua et in intelligentia tua fecisti tibi Aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis: in Eden horto fuisti; omnis lapis pretiosus tegumentum tuum, et Aurum," (Ezechiel 28:3-4, 13);
"Turma camelorum obtegent te, omnes e Scheba venient, Aurum et thus portabunt, et laudes Jehovae annuntiabunt," (Esaias 60:6, 9; Matthaeus, (2:11);
"Implebo Domum hanc gloria, Mihi Argentum et Mihi Aurum, magna erit gloria Domus hujus posterioris prae prioris," (Haggaeus 2:(7,) 8-9);
"Filiae Regum inter pretiosas tuas, constitit Regina ad dextram tuam in Auro optimo Ophiris, de implexis Auri vestis ejus," (Psalm. 45:10, 14 (B.A. 9, 13); Ezechiel 16:13);
"Accepisti vasa ornatus tui ex Auro Meo, et ex Argento Meo, quae dederam tibi, et fecisti tibi imagines masculi," (Ezechiel 16:17);
"Argentum Meum et Aurum Meum sumpsistis, et desiderabilia Mea bona intulistis in templa vestra," (Joel 4:5 (B.A. 3:5)).
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, ideo cum Belshazar cum magnatibus biberet vinum e vasis Auri eductis e Templo Hierosolymae, et simul laudaret deos Auri, argenti, aeris et ferri, scriptum est in pariete, et ille ea nocte occisus est, (Daniel 5:2, seq.).
(Praeter multis aliis in locis.)
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, ideo Arca, in qua erat Lex, obducta erat Auro intra et extra, (Exodus 25:11);
Et ideo Propitiatorium et Cherubi super Arca erant ex puro Auro, (Exodus 25:(17,) 18);
Altare suffitus erat ex puro Auro, (Exodus 30:3);
Pariter Candelabrum cum lucernis, (Exodus 25:31, 38);
Et Mensa super qua panes facierum obducta fuit Auro, (Exodus 25:23-24).
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, "argentum" Verum sapientiae, "aes" Bonum amoris naturalis qui amor vocatur charitas, et "ferrum" Verum fidei, ideo antiqui vocabant successiones temporum ab antiquissimis usque ad ultima, saecula aurea, argentea, aerea et ferrea. Similia significantur per statuam Nebuchadnezari in somnio visam,
Cujus caput erat Aurum bonum, pectus et brachia argentum, venter et femora aes, crura ferrum, pedes ex parte ferrum, ex parte argilla, (Daniel 2:32-33);
per haec significantur successivi status Ecclesiae in hoc mundo ab antiquissimis temporibus usque ad hodiernum. Status Ecclesiae hodiernus ita describitur:
"Quod vidisti ferrum mixtum cum argilla luti, commiscebunt se per semen hominis, sed non cohaerebunt unum cum altero, quemadmodum ferrum non commiscetur cum argilla," (Daniel 2:43);
per "ferrum" significatur Verum fidei, ut dictum est; sed cum non Verum fidei est, sed Fides absque vero, tunc est "ferrum mixtum cum argilla luti," quae non cohaerent: per "semen hominis," cum quo se illa commiscebunt, significatur Verum Verbi: hic status est Ecclesiae hodie. Quid postea futurum sit, describitur ibi paucis, vers. 45; sed pluribus, 7:13-18, 27.

Judges 13
1
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh; and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2
There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and didn't bear.
3
The angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and said to her, "See now, you are barren, and don't bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.
4
Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don't eat any unclean thing:
5
for, behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."
6
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name:
7
but he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.'"
8
Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, "Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be born."
9
God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah, her husband, wasn't with her.
10
The woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, "Behold, the man has appeared to me, who came to me the [other] day."
11
Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" He said, "I am."
12
Manoah said, "Now let your words happen. What shall be the ordering of the child, and [how] shall we do to him?"
13
The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
14
She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe."
15
Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, "Please, let us detain you, that we may make a young goat ready for you."
16
The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread; and if you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh." For Manoah didn't know that he was the angel of Yahweh.
17
Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, "What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?"
18
The angel of Yahweh said to him, "Why do you ask about my name, since it is wonderful?"
19
So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh: and [the angel] did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20
For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of Yahweh ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
21
But the angel of Yahweh did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh.
22
Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God."
23
But his wife said to him, "If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these."
24
The woman bore a son, and named him Samson: and the child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
25
The Spirit of Yahweh began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
