1231. “路德” 表对真理的认知. 这从以下事实清楚可知: 对真理的认知是以这样的方式获得的, 即经由仁爱通过主, 因而藉着理性和知识经由信而获得的. 这也清楚可见于以西结书:

波斯人, 路德人, 弗人在你军营中作战士; 他们在你中间悬挂盾牌和头盔, 彰显你的尊荣. (以西结书 27:10)

这论及推罗. “路德人, 弗人” 表认知, 被说成是在她的军营中作战士, 因为认知在理性的帮助下有助于捍卫真理, 也就是 “悬挂盾牌和头盔”. “弗人” 表对圣言的外在认知 (参看10:6).

8787. 'Go to the people' means a joining together. This is clear from the representation now of 'Moses' as the truth from God which was below heaven, dealt with above in 8760; and from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'the people' to whom he was to go refers here, as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with often. The reason why 'go to the people', when said by Jehovah, means a joining together is that the truth from God, represented by 'Moses', is the intermediary between the Divine and those belonging to the Church; for in order that the joining together represented here by the covenant between Jehovah and the people may take place an intermediary must be present. Therefore also 'Moses' represents the truth from God below heaven joined to God's truth in heaven, 8760, so joined in order to serve as an intermediary.
