马太福音 24:13中提到的'房顶',表示一个人的优越状态,因此也表示他在善方面的状态.

(Notae: 属天的奥秘3652, Arcana Coelestia 3652 [6]; 路加福音5:19; 马太福音10:27, 13, 24, 24:17; 诗篇129:6)

7723. 'Only your flocks and your herds will stay behind' means but not from good, that is to say, they may not worship the Lord from this. This is clear from the meaning of 'flock' as interior good, and the meaning of 'herd' as exterior good, both dealt with in 5913, 6048.
