1 여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대

2 인자야 두 여인이 있었으니 한 어미의 딸이라

3 그들이 애굽에서 행음하되 어렸을 때에 행음하여 그들의 유방이 눌리며 그 처녀의 가슴이 어루만진 바 되었었나니

4 그 이름이 형은 오홀라요 아우는 오홀리바라 그들이 내게 속하여 자녀를 낳았나니 그 이름으로 말하면 오홀라는 사마리아요 오홀리바는 예루살렘이니라

5 오홀라가 내게 속하였을 때에 행음하여 그 연애하는 자 곧 그 이웃 앗수르 사람을 사모하였나니

6 그들은 다 자색 옷을 입은 방백과 감독이요 준수한 소년,말 타는 자들이라

7 그가 앗수르 중에 잘 생긴 그 모든 자들과 행음하고 누구를 연애하든지 그들의 모든 우상으로 스스로 더럽혔으며

8 그가 젊었을 때에 애굽사람과 동침하매 그 처녀의 가슴이 어루만진바 되며 그 몸에 음란을 쏟음을 당한바 되었더니 그가 그 때부터 행음함을 마지 아니하였느니라

9 그러므로 내가 그를 그 정든 자 곧 그 연애하는 앗수르 사람의 손에 붙였더니

10 그들이 그 하체를 드러내고 그 자녀를 빼앗으며 칼로 그를 죽여 그 누명을 여자에게 드러내었나니 이는 그들이 그에게 심문을 행함이니라

11 그 아우 오홀리바가 이것을 보고도 그 형보다 음욕을 더하며 그 형의 간음함보다 그 간음이 더 심하므로 그 형보다 더 부패하여 졌느니라

12 그가 그 이웃 앗수르 사람을 연애하였나니 그들은 화려한 의복을 입은 방백과 감독이요 말타는 자들과 준수한 소년이었느니라

13 그 두 여인이 한 길로 행하므로 그도 더러워졌음을 내가 보았노라

14 그가 음행을 더하였음은 붉은 것으로 벽에 그린 사람의 형상 곧 갈대아 사람의 형상을 보았음이니

15 그 형상은 허리를 띠로 동이고 머리를 긴 수건으로 쌌으며 용모는 다 존귀한 자 곧 그 고토 갈대아 바벨론 사람 같은 것이라

16 그가 보고 곧 연애하여 사자를 갈대아 그들에게로 보내매

17 바벨론 사람이 나아와 연애하는 침상에 올라 음란으로 그를 더럽히매 그가 더럽힘을 입은 후에 그들을 싫어하는 마음이 생겼느니라

18 그가 이와 같이 그 음행을 나타내며 그 하체를 드러내므로 내 마음이 그 형을 싫어한 것 같이 그를 싫어하였으나

19 그가 그 음행을 더하여 그 젊었을 때 곧 애굽 땅에서 음행하던 때를 생각하고

20 그 하체는 나귀 같고 그 정수는 말 같은 음란한 간부를 연애하였도다

21 네가 젊었을 때에 행음하여 애굽 사람에게 네 가슴과 유방이 어루만진바 되었던 것을 오히려 생각하도다

22 그러므로 오홀리바야 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 너의 연애하다가 싫어하던 자들을 격동시켜서 그들로 사방에서 와서 너를 치게 하리니

23 그들은 바벨론 사람과 갈대아 모든 무리 브곳과 소아와 고아 사람과 또 그와 함께 한 모든 앗수르 사람 곧 준수한 소년이며 다 방백과 감독이며 귀인과 유명한 자, 다 말 타는 자들이라

24 그들이 병기와 병거와 수레와 크고 작은 방패를 이끌고 투구 쓴 군대를 거느리고 치러 와서 너를 에워쌀지라 내가 심문권을 그들에게 맡긴즉 그들이 그 심문권대로 너를 심문하리라

25 내가 너를 향하여 투기를 발하리니 그들이 분노로 네게 행하여 네 코와 귀를 깎아버리고 남은 자를 칼로 엎드러뜨리며 네 자녀를 빼앗고 그 남은 자를 불에 사르며

26 또 네 옷을 벗기며 네 장식품을 빼앗을지라

27 이와 같이 내가 네 음란과 애굽 땅에서부터 음행하던 것을 그치게 하여 너로 그들을 향하여 눈을 들지도 못하게 하며 다시는 애굽을 기억하지도 못하게 하리라

28 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 너의 미워하는 자와 네 마음에 싫어하는 자의 손에 너를 붙이리니

29 그들이 미워하는 마음으로 네게 행하여 네 모든 수고한 것을 빼앗고 너를 벌거벗겨 적신으로 두어서 네 음행의 벗은 몸 곧 네 음란하며 음행하던 것을 드러낼 것이라

30 네가 이같이 당할 것은 네가 음란히 이방을 좇고 그 우상들로 더럽혔음이로다

31 네가 네 형의 길로 행하였은즉 내가 그의 잔을 네 손에 주리라

32 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 깊고 크고 가득히 담긴 네 형의 잔을 네가 마시고 비소와 조롱을 당하리라

33 네가 네 형 사마리아의 잔 곧 놀람과 패망의 잔에 넘치게 취하고 근심할지라

34 네가 그 잔을 다 기울여 마시고 그 깨어진 조각을 씹으며 네 유방을 꼬집을 것은 내가 이렇게 말하였음이니라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라

35 그러므로 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 네가 나를 잊었고 또 나를 네 등 뒤에 버렸은즉 너는 네 음란과 네 음행의 죄를 담당할지니라 하시니라

36 여호와께서 또 내게 이르시되 인자야 네가 오홀라와 오홀리바를 국문하려느냐 그러면 그 가증한 일을 그들에게 고하라

37 그들이 행음하였으며 피를 손에 묻혔으며 또 그 우상과 행음하며 내게 낳아준 자식들을 우상을 위하여 화제로 살랐으며

38 이외에도 그들이 내게 행한 것이 있나니 당일에 내 성소를 더럽히며 내 안식일을 범하였도다

39 그들이 자녀를 죽여 그 우상에게 드린 당일에 내 성소에 들어와서 더럽혔으되 그들이 내 성전 가운데서 그렇게 행하였으며

40 또 사자를 원방에 보내어 사람을 불러오게 하고 그들이 오매 그들을 위하여 목욕하며 눈썹을 그리며 스스로 단장하고

41 화려한 자리에 앉아 앞에 상을 베풀고 내 향과 기름을 그 위에 놓고

42 그 무리와 편히 지껄이고 즐겼으며 또 광야에서 잡류와 술취한 사람을 청하여 오매 그들이 팔쇠를 그 손목에 끼우고 아름다운 면류관을 그 머리에 씌웠도다

43 내가 음행으로 쇠한 여인을 가리켜 말하노라 그가 그래도 그들과 피차 행음하는도다

44 그들이 그에게 나아오기를 기생에게 나아옴 같이 음란한 여인 오홀라와 오홀리바에게 나아왔은즉

45 의인이 음부를 심문함 같이 심문하며 피를 흘린 여인을 심문함 같이 심문하리니 그들은 음부요 또 피가 그 손에 묻었음이니라

46 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 군대를 거느리고 와서 치게 하여 그들로 학대와 약탈을 당하게 하리니

47 그 군대가 그들을 돌로 치며 칼로 죽이고 그 자녀도 죽이며 그 집들을 불사르리라

48 이와 같이 내가 이 땅에서 음란을 그치게 한즉 모든 여인이 경성하여 너희 음행을 본받지 아니하리라

49 그들이 너희 음란으로 너희에게 보응한즉 너희가 모든 우상을 위하던 죄를 담당할지라 너희가 나를 주 여호와인 줄 알리라 하시니라

6534. 'And horsemen' means intellectual concepts. This is clear from the meaning of 'horsemen' as things connected with the understanding; for 'a horse' means the power of understanding, 2760-2761, 3217, 5321, 6125. The meaning of 'horsemen' as things connected with the understanding becomes clear in addition from the following places: In Moses,

Jehovah alone led him; He caused him to ride over the heights of the land. Deuteronomy 32:12, 17.

This refers to the Ancient Church. 'Causing to ride over the heights of the land' stands for endowing with superior understanding.

[2] In David,

In your majesty 1 climb into [your chariot], and ride on the word of truth and meekness and righteousness, and your right arm will teach you marvellous things. Psalms 45:4.

This refers to the Lord. 'Riding on the word of truth' stands for having a genuine understanding of truth. In the same author,

Sing to God, praise His name; exalt Him who rides on the clouds by His name Jah. Psalms 68:4.

This too refers to the Lord. 'The clouds' stands for the literal sense of the Word, preface to Genesis 18, and 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end); 'riding on them' stands for being in command of the internal sense, in which truth resides with all the intelligence and wisdom it can bring.

[3] In Zechariah,

On that day I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness; and on the house of Judah I will open My eye. But every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness. Zechariah 12:4.

'Horse' stands for the power of understanding, and 'rider' or 'horseman' for the intellect. Does anyone not see that 'horse' here does not mean a horse, or that 'rider' does not mean rider, but that something else such as can be struck with panic and madness, and also with blindness, is meant? That something else, it is evident, is the understanding or intellect.

[4] By 'horses and horsemen' intellectual concepts are meant, and in the contrary sense reasonings and consequent falsities, as may be seen in John,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given; he went out conquering. Then there came out another horse, fiery-red; and it was granted to him who sat on it that he should take peace away from the earth, and that men should slay one another. Therefore to him was given a great sword. I saw, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it held a balance in his hand. I saw therefore, and behold, a pale horse and he who sat on it, whose name was death. Revelation 6:2, 4-5, 8.

Here, as is evident from the details of the description, the horses and those seated on them mean things connected with an understanding consisting of truth, and in the contrary sense an understanding consisting of falsity. 'The white horse and he who sat on it' stands for an understanding consisting of truth gained from the Word; the one seated on the white horse is, as explicitly stated in Revelation 19:11, 13, 16, the Lord as to the Word. 'The fiery-red horse and he who sat on it' stands for reasonings resulting from desires for evil, which do violence to truths from the Word. 'The black horse and he who sat on it' stands for a destroyed ability to understand the truth, while 'the pale horse and he who sat on it' stands for damnation resulting from such destruction.

[5] 'Horses and horsemen' in the contrary sense stands for a perverted understanding and the falsities it produces, in Ezekiel also,

Oholah committed whoredom under Me and doted on her lovers - governors and leaders, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. Her sister Oholibah was in love with the sons of Asshur - governors and leaders, her neighbours, clothed in perfect adornment, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. Ezekiel 23:5-6, 12.

'Oholah' stands for the perverted spiritual Church, which is Samaria, and 'Oholibah' for the perverted celestial Church, which is Jerusalem; for the Israelites who belonged to Samaria represented the spiritual Church, but the Jews who belonged to Jerusalem represented the celestial Church. 'The Assyrians' and 'the sons of Asshur' stand for reasoning against the truths of faith, 1186, 'horsemen riding on horses' for a perverted understanding, from which falsities are produced.

[6] In Habakkuk,

I am rousing the Chaldeans, a bitter and headstrong nation, marching into the breadth of the earth, to inherit habitations that are not its own Its horses are swifter than leopards, sharper than the evening wolves, so that its horsemen spread out, and therefore its horsemen come from afar. Habakkuk 1:6, 8.

'The Chaldeans' stands for those governed by falsities, though to outward appearances they are governed by truths; thus 'the Chaldeans' stands for the profanation of truth, whereas 'Babel' stands for the profanation of good, 1182, 1368. 'Marching into the breadth of the earth' stands for destroying truths - 'the breadth of the earth' meaning truth, see 3433, 3434, 4482. From this it is evident that 'the horsemen who spread out and who arrive from afar' are things connected with a perverted understanding, which are therefore falsities.

2760. PREFACE 1

How deluded those people are who confine themselves to the sense of the letter and do not look for the internal sense in other places where this is explained in the Word becomes quite clear from the great number of heresies there are, each one of which confirms its own doctrinal position from the literal sense of the Word. It is particularly clear from that great heresy which insane and hellish self-love and love of the world have made out of the Lord's words to Peter,

I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:15-19.

[2] People who keep rigidly to the sense of the letter imagine that these words refer to the man Peter and that such great power was given to him. Although they know that Peter was just an ordinary simple human being who by no means exercised such power, and that the exercise of that power is contrary to the Divine, they nevertheless adopt and stoutly defend a literal interpretation of what the Lord said, because of the insane and hellish self-love and love of the world which fill them with the desire to arrogate such power to themselves on earth and in heaven and to make gods of themselves. But the internal sense of those words is that faith itself in the Lord, which exists solely with those in whom love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour are present, possesses that power, yet not faith but the Lord, the Source of faith. In the words addressed to Peter 'rock' is used to mean that faith, as it is everywhere else in the Word. It is on this faith that the Church is built, and against this faith that the gates of hell do not prevail. It is that faith also which holds the keys of the kingdom of heaven, for that faith closes heaven to prevent evils and falsities entering in, and it opens heaven to goods and truths. This is the internal sense of these words.

[3] Like the twelve tribes of Israel the twelve apostles represented nothing else than all aspects of such faith, 577, 2089, 2129, 2130 (end). Peter represented faith itself, James charity, and John the good works that flow from charity - see the Preface to Genesis 18 - as in a similar way did Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, Jacob's three eldest sons, in the Jewish and

Israelitish representative Church, a point that is clear from a thousand places in the Word. And it was because Peter represented faith that those words were addressed to him. From all these considerations one may recognize what darkness it is into which people plunge themselves, and others with them, who explain everything literally, as they do who, taking literally the words addressed to Peter, use them to take the power of saving the human race away from the Lord and arrogate it to themselves.

2 2760. In John - in the Book of Revelation - the Word as to its internal sense is described as follows,

I saw heaven standing open, and, behold, a White Horse; and He who sat on it was called faithful and true, and in righteousness He judges and goes into battle. His eyes a flame of fire, and on His head many jewels, He has a name written which nobody knows but He Himself, and He is clothed in a garment dyed with blood, and His name is called the Word of God. And the armies that are in heaven were following Him on white horses and were clothed in linen, white and clean. And on His garment and on His thigh He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Revelation 19:11-14, 16.

What each individual part of this description embodies nobody can know except from the internal sense. Plainly, each one is representative and carries a spiritual meaning, such as 'heaven standing open'; 'the horse which was white'; 'He who sat on it was called faithful and true, and in righteousness He judges and goes into battle'; 'His eyes a flame of fire'; 'on His head many jewels'; 'He has a name which nobody knows but He Himself'; 'He is clothed in a garment dyed with blood'; 'the armies in heaven following Him on white horses'; 'clothed in linen, white and clean'; 'on His garment and on His thigh He has a name written'. It is stated openly that the One sitting on the White Horse is the Word, and that He is the Lord who is the Word, for it is said, 'His name is called the Word of God', and after that, 'on His garment and on His thigh He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords'.

[2] From the interpretation of each individual expression it is evident that the Word as to the internal sense is described here. 'Heaven standing open' represents and means that the internal sense of the Word is not seen except in heaven and by those to whom heaven stands open, that is, those in whom love to the Lord and faith in Him-derived from that love are present. 'The horse which was white' represents and means the understanding of the Word as regards its interior contents. The next paragraph shows that 'a white horse' has this representation and meaning. 'He who sat on it' is, it is clear, the Word and the Lord who is the Word. He is called 'faithful' and 'one who judges out of righteousness' by virtue of good, and 'true' and 'one who goes into battle out of righteousness' by virtue of truth; for the Lord Himself is righteousness. 'His eyes a flame of fire' means Divine Truth glowing from the Divine Good that issues from His Divine Love. 'On His head many jewels' means all things of faith. 'He has a name written which nobody knows but He Himself' means that nobody sees the essential nature of the Word in the internal sense except the Lord Himself and he to whom He reveals it. 'Clothed in a garment dyed with blood' means the Word in the letter. 'The armies in heaven that were following Him on white horses' means people who have an understanding of the Word as regards its interior contents. 'Clothed in linen, white and clean' means that in these same persons love and faith derived from love are present. 'On His garment and on His thigh a name written' means truth and good. From these verses in Revelation and from those which come before and after them it is evident that around the last period [of the Church] the internal sense of the Word will be opened. But what is going to happen in that last period is also described in verses 17-21 of that chapter.
