에스겔 42

Дослідження

   

1 그가 나를 데리고 밖으로 나가 북편 뜰로 가서 두 방에 이르니 그 두 방의 하나는 골방 앞 뜰을 향하였고 하나는 북편 건물을 향하였는데

2 그 방들의 자리의 장이 일백척이요 광이 오십척이며 그 문은 북을 향하였고

3 그 방 삼층에 툇마루들이 있는데 한 방의 툇마루는 이십척 되는 안 뜰과 마주 대하였고 한 방의 툇마루는 바깥 뜰 박석 깔린 곳과 마주 대하였으며

4 그 두 방 사이에 통한 길이 있어 광이 십척이요 장이 일백척이며 그 문들은 북을 향하였으며

5 그 상층의 방은 제일 좁으니 이는 툇마루를 인하여 하층과 중층보다 상층이 더 줄어짐이라

6 그 방이 삼층이라도 뜰의 기둥 같은 기둥이 없으므로 그 상층이 하층과 중층보다 더욱 좁아짐이더라

7 그 한 방의 바깥 담 곧 뜰의 담과 마주 대한 담의 장이 오십척이니

8 바깥 뜰로 향한 방의 장이 오십척임이며 성전 앞을 향한 방은 일백척이며

9 이 방들 아래에 동편에서 들어가는 통행구가 있으니 곧 바깥 뜰에서 들어가는 통행구더라

10 남편 골방 뜰 맞은편과 남편 건물 맞은편에도 방 둘이 있는데

11 그 두 방 사이에 길이 있고 그 방들의 모양은 북편 방 같고 그 장광도 같으며 그 출입구와 문도 그와 같으며

12 남편 방에 출입하는 문이 있는데 담 동편 길머리에 있더라

13 그가 내게 이르되 좌우 골방 뜰 앞 곧 북편 남편에 있는 방들은 거룩한 방이라 여호와를 가까이 하는 제사장들이 지성물을 거기서 먹을 것이며 지성물 곧 소제와 속죄제와 속건제의 제물을 거기 둘 것이며 이는 거룩한 곳이라

14 제사장의 의복은 거룩하므로 제사장이 성소에 들어갔다가 나올 때에 바로 바깥 뜰로 가지 못하고 수종드는 그 의복을 그 방에 두고 다른 옷을 입고 백성의 뜰로 나갈 것이니라 하더라

15 그가 안에 있는 전 척량하기를 마친 후에 나를 데리고 동향한 문길로 나가서 사면 담을 척량하는데

16 그가 척량하는 장대 곧 그 장대로 동편을 척량하니 오백척이요

17 그 장대로 북편을 척량하니 오백척이요

18 그 장대로 남편을 척량하니 오백척이요

19 서편으로 돌이켜 그 장대로 척량하니 오백척이라

20 그가 이와 같이 그 사방을 척량하니 그 사방 담 안 마당의 장과 광이 오백척씩이라 그 담은 거룩한 것과 속된 것을 구별하는 것이더라

951. 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have their power in the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. This symbolically means that eternal happiness awaits those who live in accordance with the Lord's commandments, in order that through love, and in His New Church through concepts of Him, they may be in the Lord and have the Lord in them.

The blessed symbolize people who possess the felicity of eternal life (nos. 639, 852, 944). To do the Lord's commandments means, symbolically, to live in accordance with His commandments. That they may have their power in the tree of life means, symbolically, in order that through love, that is, for the Lord's sake, they may be in the Lord and have the Lord in them, which we explain below. To enter through the gates into the city means, symbolically, that they may be in the Lord's New Church through concepts of Him. The gates in the wall of the New Jerusalem symbolize concepts of goodness and truth from the Word (nos. 899, 900, 922), and because each gate consisted of a single pearl, the gates symbolize principally concepts of the Lord (no. 916). The city, that is, Jerusalem, symbolizes the New Church together with its doctrine (nos. 879, 880).

[2] That they may have their power in the tree of life means, symbolically, in order that through love, that is, for the Lord's sake, they may be in the Lord and have the Lord in them, because the tree of life symbolizes the Lord in respect to His Divine love (nos. 89, 933). And the power in that tree symbolizes power from the Lord, because they are in the Lord and have the Lord in them. The symbolic meaning of this is similar to that of the declaration that they will reign with the Lord (nos. 284, 849).

That people who are in the Lord and have the Lord in them possess all the power needed to be able to do whatever they will, the Lord Himself says in John:

He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing... If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. (John 15:5, 7)

Something similar is said about this power in Matthew 7:7, Mark 11:24, Luke 11:9-10. Indeed, we read in Matthew:

Jesus... said..., ."..if you have faith..., ...if you say to this mountain, 'Raise yourself up... cast yourself into the sea,' it will be done. (Indeed,) everything you ask..., believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22)

This describes the power those people have who are in the Lord. They do not wish for and so do not ask for anything that does not come from the Lord; and whatever they wish for and ask from the Lord, this comes to pass, for the Lord says, "without Me you can do nothing. Abide in Me, and I in you." Such is the power that angels in heaven have, that they have only to wish for something in order to obtain it. But still they wish only for things that may be of useful service, wishing this as though of themselves, but in fact from the Lord.

Apocalypse Revealed #922

922. 21:25 Its gates shall not be shut by day, for there shall be no night there. This symbolically means that the New Jerusalem continually receives into it people who possess truths that spring from the goodness of love from the Lord, because it has no falsity in its faith.

Its gates not being closed by day means, symbolically, that people who wish to enter are continually being let in. By day means, symbolically, continually, because there is always light then, as described in verses 11 and 23 above, and no night, as said next.

People who possess truths that spring from the goodness of love from the Lord are continually received because the light of the New Jerusalem is truth springing from the goodness of love, and the goodness of love comes from the Lord, as we have often shown above. And the only people who can enter into that light are people who possess truths that spring from goodness received from the Lord. If any others enter, they are not welcomed, because they are of a discordant character, and they then either leave of their own accord because they cannot endure that light, or they are sent away.

There being no night there symbolically means that there is no falsity in its faith, for night symbolizes the opposite of light, and light, as we have said, symbolizes truth that springs from the goodness of love from the Lord. Night therefore symbolizes something that does not spring from the goodness of love from the Lord, and that is falsity in people's faith. Falsity in people's faith is also meant by night in John:

(Jesus said,) "I must work the works of (God) while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work." (John 9:4)

And in Luke:

...in that night there will be two people in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. (Luke 17:34)

The subject there is the final period of the church, when faith will have in it nothing but falsity. The bed symbolizes doctrine (no. 137).
