9390. “又打发以色列人中的少年人” 表那些属于纯真和仁爱的事物. 这从 “以色人中的少年人” 的含义清楚可知,

“以色人中的少年人” 是指教会成员当中属于纯真和仁爱的事物. 因为 “吃奶的”,

“小孩子”,

“少年人” 表示那些拥有纯真和仁爱的人, 或在从人抽象出来的意义上表示那些属于纯真和仁爱的事物 (参看430, 5236节);

“以色列人” 表示教会成员, 或在从人抽象出来的意义上表示教会本身 (9340节).

10111. 'To sanctify them' means in order that they may be in possession of truths from good which come from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'being sanctified' as representing the Lord and the holy things which come from Him, dealt with in 9956, 9988, and so in the spiritual sense as being led by the Lord, since the Lord alone is holy and He is the source of everything holy, 8806, 9229, 9479, 9688, 9818, 9820. From this it is evident that receiving truths through good from the Lord, thus receiving faith through love derived from Him and shown towards Him, is meant by being sanctified. Not that the person regarded in himself is therefore holy; only the Lord present with Him is holy. For faith and love constitute the Lord's presence with a person, since He is the one to whom unceasingly they owe their existence.

2119. 每个人临终之时生命的最终状态就是他的最后审判. 这对有些人来说并非秘密, 却很少有人相信它. 然而, 每个人死后都会复活进入来世, 并面临审判, 这是永恒的事实. 该审判的情况如下: 几天后, 人的肉体一旦冷却, 他就会被主通过一开始与他同在的属天天使恢复知觉. 不过, 他若无法与属天天使待在一起, 就会被属灵天使接管, 后来逐渐被善灵接管. 因为凡进入来世的, 无一例外都会作为客人受到欢迎和接待. 但是, 由于每个人的欲望都跟随着他, 所以, 曾过着邪恶生活的人无法长时间地与天使或善灵待在一起, 而是逐渐与他们分离, 直到最后, 他来到其生活与他在世时的生活相类似的灵人当中. 这时, 他觉得自己仿佛回到肉身的生活, 而事实上, 这本身就是肉身生活的延续. 他的审判就始于这种生活. 停留一些时日后, 那些过着邪恶生活的人就会下入地狱, 而那些过着良善生活的人则逐渐被主提入天堂. 这就是每个人的最后审判, 这在第一卷的记事中有所说明.
