8 At kaniyang ipapatong ang kamay niya sa ulo ng kaniyang alay, at papatayin sa harap ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan: at iwiwisik ng mga anak ni Aaron ang dugo niyaon sa ibabaw ng dambana sa palibot.

The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Teachings#13

13. The divine design calls for goodness and truth to be joined together and not separated-to be one, then, and not two. They are together as they emanate from the Lord and they are together in heaven, so they need to be joined to each other in the church.

In heaven, the joining of what is good and what is true is called "the heavenly marriage" because everyone there participates in this marriage. That is why heaven is compared to a marriage in the Word and why the Lord is called the Bridegroom and the Husband, while heaven is called the bride and the wife, as is the church. 1 The reason heaven and the church are so called is that the people there are receptive to the divine goodness that is present within truths.

脚注:

1. For passages containing this marital imagery, see, for example, Matthew 9:15, John 3:29, and Revelation 21:2, 9. [GFD]
