Explanation of Numbers 1:44
原作者: Henry MacLagan
Verse 44. And all these involve the particular truths of the church, which are ordinated and arranged by Divine Truth and Divine Good, during man's co-operation, in the process of regeneration; and by means of primary truths, each grounded in its own good.
The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Teachings#11
11. Goodness and Truth
All things in the universe that are in accord with the divine design 1 go back to goodness and truth. There are no exceptions to this in heaven or in the world, because everything good, like everything true, comes from the Divine, which is the source of everything.
脚注:
1. The phrase "the divine design" (the Latin term used here is Divinus ordo, literally, "divine order") refers to a divinely ordained arrangement of things in relation to each other both in physical space (or spiritual state) and in physical time (or spiritual sequence). On humans as images of the divine design, see note 4 in Last Judgment 9. On the similar phrase "the design of heaven," see note 1 in Other Planets 51. [JSR]
