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).

8790. 'And they will be ready by the third day' means [thus] full and complete preparation. This is clear from the meaning of 'being ready' as preparation through sanctification, dealt with just above; and from the meaning of 'the third day' as a state made complete, dealt with in 7715, thus full and complete preparation.
