153# “脚像擦亮的铜”表示充满神性之爱的神性终端，也就是属世层。这从前面的说明(AE69节)清楚可知，那里有同样的话。由于写给该教会天使的信论述了教会属灵的内在和它属世的外在，而它们必须构成一体(参看AE150节)，所以论到教会的一切所来自的主，经上提前说：“这些事是那眼目如火焰、脚像擦亮的铜的神之子说的。”当论及人时，“眼”表示属灵的内在，“脚”表示属世的外在；但当论及主时，“眼”和“脚”表示与人同在的内在和外所来自的神性事物。
153. And his feet like fine brass. That this signifies the ultimate of Divine order, which is the Natural, full of Divine love, is evident from what was said and shown above (n. 69), where similar words occur. Because in what is written to the angel of this church, the subject treated of is the internal of the church, which is spiritual, and its external, which is natural, that they should make one (as may be seen above, n. 150), therefore it is premised concerning the Lord, from whom is the all of the church,
"These things saith the Son of man, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass."
For by eyes, when said of men, is signified the internal, which is spiritual, and by feet the external, which is natural; but by eyes and feet, when said of the Lord, are signified the Divine things from which those exist with man.
153. And His feet like burnished brass, signifies the ultimate of Divine order, which is the natural, full of Divine love, as is evident from what is said and shown above n. 69, where similar words occur. As what is written to the angel of this church treats of the internal of the church, which is spiritual, and its external, which is natural, that they must make one (See above, n. 150), so it is prefaced by these things respecting the Lord, from whom is everything of the church, "These things saith the Son of God, that hath His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like unto burnished brass;" for in respect to man, "eyes" signify the internal, which is spiritual, and "feet" the external, which is natural; but in respect to the Lord, "eyes" and "feet" signify the Divine things from which are the internal and external with man.
153. "Et pedes suos similes chalcolibano." Quod significet ultimum ordinis Divini quod naturale, plenum Divino amore, constat ex illis quae supra (n. 69) dicta et ostensa sunt, ubi similia. Quia in scriptis ad Angelum hujus Ecclesiae agitur de ecclesiae interno quod spirituale, et de ejus externo quod naturale, quod unum facient (videatur supra, n. 150), ideo praemittitur de Domino, a quo omne ecclesiae, "Haec dicit Filius 1
hominis habens oculos tanquam flammam ignis, et pedes similes chalcolibano"; per "oculos" enim respective ad homines significatur internum quod spirituale, et per "pedes" externum quod naturale; at per "oculos" et "pedes" respective ad Dominum significantur Divina, a quibus illa apud homines.
