Arcana Coelestia#10463
10463. 'And burned it in the fire' means arising completely from self-love and love of the world, which are condemned to hell. This is clear from the meaning of 'the fire' as heavenly love, which is love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour, and in the contrary sense hellish love, which is self-love and love of the world, dealt with in 4906, 5071, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7575, 10055. Consequently 'being burned in the fire' means being filled completely with self-love and love of the world, thus being condemned to hell; for when those loves reign they constitute hell with a person. From all this it is evident what is meant by 'hell fire', spoken of in various places in the Word.
Deuteronomy第5章:22-25
22
These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.
23
It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24
and you said, "Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25
Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, then we shall die.
