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 14
1
Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2
He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me as wife."
3
Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?" Samson said to his father, "Get her for me; for she pleases me well."
4
But his father and his mother didn't know that it was of Yahweh; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and behold, a young lion roared against him.
6
The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat; and he had nothing in his hand: but he didn't tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7
He went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
8
After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate: but he didn't tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
10
His father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12
Samson said to them, "Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
13
but if you can't declare it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." They said to him, "Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it."
14
He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
15
It happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Is it not [so]?"
16
Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and don't love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." He said to her, "Behold, I haven't told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?"
17
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
19
The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes [of clothing] to those who declared the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20
But Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
