An Invitation to the New Church #35
35. The keys of the kingdom of the heavens were given to Peter, because he represented the Lord as to Divine Truth; and this is what is meant by "rock," throughout the whole of the Sacred Scripture. On this account [it is said],
Upon this rock, that is, on this Divine Truth, "will I build My Church," namely, the truth that the Lord is "the Son of the living God. "
It shall be shown from the Word, that "rock" has this signification.
("Rock" in the Word: Exodus 17:6; 33:21-22; Numbers 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 8:15; 32:4-37; 1 Samuel 2:2; 2 Samuel 22:2-3, 32, 47; 23:3; Psalms 18:2, 31, 46; 28:1; 31:2-3; 40:2; 42:9; 62:2, 7; 78:16, 20, 35; 89:26; 92:15; 94:22; 95:1; 105:41; Isaiah 2:10; 22:16; 42:11; 1 Corinthians 10:4). ("Fissures of the rock" denote falsified truths, Revelation 6:15-16; Isaiah 2:19; Jeremiah 16:16; Song of Solomon 2:14; Isaiah 48:21; Jeremiah 23:29; 49:16; Obadiah 1:3; besides in the Gospels.)
In this wise also some of the Fathers explained it (see Formula Concordiae, p. 345).
Song of Solomon 2
1
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Lover
2
As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. Beloved
3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4
He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.
5
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am faint with love.
6
His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me.
7
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
8
The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
9
My beloved is like a roe or a young hart. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
10
My beloved spoke, and said to me, "Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
11
For, behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.
12
The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13
The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away." Lover
14
My dove in the clefts of the rock, In the hiding places of the mountainside, Let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
15
Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom. Beloved
16
My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.
17
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Bether.
