属天的奥秘 #6658
6658. “离开这地而上去” 表教会将由此得以建立. 这从 “上去” 和 “地” 的含义清楚可知: “上去” 是指被提升, 即被提升至教会更内在的事物 (参看3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817, 6007节); “地”, 此处是指歌珊地, 是指教会, 如前所述 (6649节). “离开这地上去, 并进入迦南地” 所表示的被提升至教会更内在的事物, 是指教会将得以建立. 诚然, 当一个人出于情感行善时, 教会就已经在他里面建立了; 然而, 在他与邪恶和虚假争战, 从而经历试探之前, 它仍未完全建立起来. 只有经历了这一切之后, 他才成为一个真正的教会, 在这时被引入天堂; 把以色列人带到迦南地就代表这种引入.
Revelation 21:1-3
1
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2
I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3
I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
