1119# “也要怎样给她折磨悲哀”表示他们就有多少地狱的惩罚和荒凉。这从“折磨”和“悲哀”的含义清楚可知：“折磨”是指地狱的惩罚；“悲哀”是指荒凉，这种荒凉在于他们不再拥有任何真理和良善，只有虚假和邪恶。经上之所以说“她怎样荣耀自己，怎样奢华生活，也要怎样给她折磨悲哀”，是因为一切折磨或地狱的惩罚，都完全对应于这些人所处的邪恶。因此，那些过分荣耀自己，以对统治天堂和教会的爱为快乐，并为了这种荣耀及其快乐而扭曲了属于圣言的天堂和教会的良善之人，其命运就在一个折磨更严重的地狱中。而那些没有那么过分地荣耀自己，也没有那么过分地以这种荣耀为快乐的人，其命运在一个较温和的地狱中；那些没有荣耀自己，从而没有扭曲来自圣言的天堂和教会的良善和真理，只是要么出于无知，要么出于说服而简单地服从它们的人，其命运不在地狱；那些没有参与统治的人，尤其那些仰望主，对真理有某种情感的人，其命运在天堂，他们在那里被天使教导。由此可见，此处，就是论述巴比伦的地方，所指的，只是那些为了自我、出于对统治的爱之快乐行使统治权的人。
（关于《亚他那修信经》续，关于主）
神是人，主就是那人，这一点从天堂里和天堂之下的一切事物清楚看出来。在天堂里，从主发出的一切，在最大事物和最小事物上都要么处于人的形式，要么与人的形式有关；整个天堂都处于人的形式；每个天堂社群也都处于人的形式；每位天使和天堂之下的每个灵同样都处于人的形式。以下事实也被揭示给我，即：直接从主发出的一切事物，无论最小的还是最大的，都处于人的形式，因为从神发出之物，都是祂的一个形像。这就是为何经上论到亚当和夏娃说：
他们被造为神的形像和样式。（创世记1:26,27）
出于同样的原因，天堂里的天使因是从主发出的神性的接受者，故是具有惊人美丽的人，而地狱灵因不接受从主发出的神性，故是魔鬼，他们在天堂之光中看上去不是人，而是怪物。正是由于这个事实，在灵界，从各人从主那里获得多少人的形式就能知道他。由此可见，主是唯一的人，每个人都照着他对来自主的神性良善和神性真理的接受而为一个人。总之，视神为人的人就看见神，因为他看见主。主也说：
见子而信的人得永生。（约翰福音6:40）“见子”就是在灵里看见祂，因为这话也是对那些在世上没有看见祂的人说的。
1119. So much give unto her torment and mourning.- That this signifies that they should have so much of infernal punishment and desolation, appears from the signification of torment, as denoting infernal punishment; and from the signification of mourning, as denoting desolation, which consists in their no longer possessing any truth and good, but merely falsity and evil. The reason why it is said that as much torment and mourning should be given her, as she hath glorified herself and lived delicately, is, that all torment or infernal punishment corresponds entirely to the evils in which they are. Those, therefore, who have glorified themselves much, and taken delight in the love of ruling over heaven and the church, and also, for the sake of that glory and its delights, have perverted the goods of heaven and of the church - which are the goods of the Word - have their lot in a hell more grievous in its torment. But those who have glorified themselves in a less degree, and taken less delight in such glorification, have their lot in a milder hell and those who have not glorified themselves, and have not thence perverted the goods and truths of heaven and of the church, which are from the Word, but have simply obeyed them either from ignorance or persuasion, have not their lot in hell. But the people who have no share in their dominion, particularly those who look to the Lord, and have some affection for truth, have their lot in the heavens, where they are taught by the angels. From these things it is evident, that here, where Babylon is treated of, no others are meant than those who exercise dominion from the delight which they find in the love of it for the sake of themselves.
[2] Continuation concerning the Athanasian Creed and concerning the Lord.- That God is Man and that the Lord is that Man, is clear from everything in the heavens, and beneath the heavens. In the heavens, all things that proceed from the Lord, in their greatest and in their smallest [components], are either in the human form, or have reference to the human form. The whole heaven is in the human form, every society of heaven is in the human form, every angel and also every spirit beneath the heavens are a human form. It has also been revealed to me, that all things, both the least and the greatest, that proceed immediately from the Lord, are in that form, for that which proceeds from God is a resemblance of Him; it is therefore said of Adam and Eve, that they were "created into the image and likeness of God" (Genesis 1:26, 27).
[3] It is for this reason also that the angels in the heavens, being recipients of the Divine which proceeds from the Lord, are men of astonishing beauty, while spirits in the hells, because they do not receive the Divine which proceeds from the Lord, are devils, who, in the light of heaven, appear not as men, but as monsters. It is owing to this fact that every one in the spiritual world is known from his human form in the degree in which he derives it from the Lord. It is now evident from these things, that the Lord is the only Man, and that every one is a man according to the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth from Him. In a word, he who sees God as Man, sees God, because he sees the Lord. The Lord also says, "He who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, hath eternal life" (John 6:40). To see the Son is to see Him in the spirit, because this is said, also, to those who have not seen Him in the world.
1119. So much torment and mourning give her, signifies so much of infernal punishment and desolation. This is evident from the signification of "torment," as being infernal punishment; also from the signification of "mourning," as being desolation, which is from their no longer having anything of truth or good, but mere falsity and evil. It is said that "as much torment and mourning should be given as she glorified herself and lived luxuriously," because all torment or infernal punishment corresponds exactly to the evils in which such persons are. Those, therefore, who have glorified themselves much and have taken delight in the love of having dominion over heaven and over the church, and for the sake of that glory and consequent delight have perverted the goods of heaven and the church which belong to the Word, have their lot in a hell more grievous in respect to torment; while those who have glorified and delighted themselves less in such things have their lot in a milder hell; and those who have not glorified themselves at all, and thus have not perverted the goods and truths of heaven and the church, which are from the Word, but have simply rendered obedience to them either ignorantly or from persuasion, do not have their lot in hell; and such people as have no part in dominion, especially those who look to the Lord and have some affection of truth, have their lot in the heavens, where they are taught by the angels. From all this it can be seen that here, where Babylon is treated of, only those are meant who exercise dominion from the delight of the love of it for the sake of self.
(Continuation respecting the Athanasian Faith and respecting the Lord)
[2] That God is Man and that the Lord is that Man is made evident by all things that are in the heavens and that are beneath the heavens. In the heavens all things that proceed from the Lord in greatest and in least things are either in the human form or have reference to the human form; the whole heaven is in the human form; every society of heaven is in the human form; every angel is in the human form; and also every spirit beneath the heavens; and it has been revealed to me that all things both least and greatest that proceed immediately from the Lord are in that form, for that which proceeds from God is an image of Him. This is why it is said of the man Adam and Eve:
That they were created into the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27).
[3] And for the same reason the angels in the heavens, because they are recipients of the Divine that proceeds from the Lord, are men of wonderful beauty, while the spirits in the hells, because they do not receive the Divine that proceeds from the Lord, are devils, and in the light of heaven they do not appear as men but as monsters. And on this account it is known in the spiritual world from one's human form how much he derives from the Lord. From all this it can be seen that the Lord is the only Man, and that everyone is a man according to his reception of Divine good and Divine truth from the Lord. In a word, he who sees God as Man sees God because he sees the Lord. And the Lord says:
He that seeth the Son and believeth in Him hath eternal life (John 6:40).
To see the Son is to see Him in spirit, for this is said also to those who did not see him in the world.
1119. ~Tantum date illi cruciatum et luctum." - Quod significet tantum illis poenae infernalis et desolationis, constat ex significatione "cruciatus", quod sit poena infernalis; et ex significatione "luctus", quod sit desolatio, quae est quod nihil veri et boni illis sit amplius, sed mere falsum et malum. Quod dicatur quod "tantum cruciatus et luctus daretur, quantum glorificavit se ipsam et deliciata est", est quia omnis cruciatus seu poena infernalis prorsus correspondet malis in quibus sunt: quare illi qui multum se glorificaverunt et deliciati sunt in amore dominandi super caelum et super ecclesiam, et quoque propter illam gloriam et inde delicias perverterant bona caeli et ecclesiae, quae sunt Verbi, sortiuntur infernum quoad cruciatum gravius; qui autem minus se glorificaverunt ac deliciati sunt ex eo, illi sortiuntur infernum mitius; et qui nihil, et inde nihil perverterant bona et vera caeli et ecclesiae quae ex Verbo, sed modo obediverant illis vel ex ignorantia vel ex persuasione, non sortiuntur infernum: populus autem qui nullam partem in imperiis habet, praecipue qui spectant ad Dominum, et in aliqua affectione veri sunt, sortem in caelis habent, ubi ab angelis docentur. Ex his constare potest, quod hic, ubi de Babylone agitur, non alii intelligantur quam illi qui dominium ex jucundo amoris ejus propter se exercent.
[2] (Continuatio de Fide Athanasiana, et de Domino.)
Quod Deus sit Homo, et quod Dominus sit ille Homo, manifestant omnia quae in caelis sunt et quae sub caelis. In caelis omnia quae procedunt a Domino, in maximis et in minimis, vel in humana forma sunt, vel ad humanam formam se referunt; universum caelum in forma humana est, omnis societas caeli in forma humana est, unusquisque angelus est forma humana, et quoque unusquisque spiritus sub caelis: et mihi revelatum est quod omnia minima sicut maxima, quae immediate procedunt a Domino, in illa forma sint, nam quod a Deo procedit, est instar ejus. Inde est quod de homine Adamo et Eva dicatur,
Quod creati sint in imaginem et in similitudinem Dei (Genesis 1:26, 27).
[3] Inde quoque est quod angeli in caelis, quia sunt recipientes Divini quod procedit a Domino, sint homines stupenda pulchritudine; at spiritus in infernis, quia non recipiunt Divinum quod procedit a Domino, sint diaboli, qui in luce caeli non apparent ut homines, sed ut monstra. Ex eo est quod quisque in mundo spirituali noscatur ex humana ejus forma, quantum trahit a Domino. Ex his nunc constare potest quod Dominus sit solus Homo, et quod quisque sit homo secundum receptionem Divini Boni ac Divini Veri ab Ipso. In summa, qui videt Deum ut Hominem, is videt Deum, quia videt Dominum: dicit etiam Dominus,
"Qui videt Filium, et credit in Ipsum habet vitam aeternam" (Johannes 6:40);
"videre Filium" est videre Ipsum spiritu, quia dicitur etiam ad illos qui non viderunt Ipsum in mundo.
