613# 启10:8–10.我先前从天上所听见的那声音又吩咐我说，你去，把那踏海踏地之天使手中展开的小书卷拿过来。我就走到天使那里，对他说，请把小书卷给我。他对我说，你拿去，把它吃光；它会使你肚子发苦，但在你口中要甜如蜜。我从天使手中把小书卷接过来，把它吃光了；它在我口中果然甜如蜜。吃了之后，我的肚子就发苦了。

“我就走到天使那里，对他说，请把小书卷给我”表示从主感知圣言品质的能力(616节)；“他对我说，你拿去，把它吃光”表示他应阅读、感知和探究圣言，就是圣言的内层和外层品质(617节)；“它会使你肚子发苦”表示它内在令人不快乐，因为被玷污了(618节)；“但在你口中要甜如蜜”表示它外在是令人快乐的(619节)。
“我从天使手中把小书卷接过来，把它吃光了”表示探究(620节)；“它在我口中果然甜如蜜”表示在其外在意义或字义方面的圣言仍感觉令人快乐，但只是因为它有助于确认源于对自我和世界的爱的虚假原则(621节)；“吃了之后，我的肚子就发苦了”表示由于被玷污的圣言字义的真理，让人感觉并查明，圣言内在并不令人快乐(622节)。
613. Verses 8-10. And the voice which I heard out of heaven, spake unto me again, and said, Go, and take the little book, which is open in the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.- "And the voice which I heard out of heaven spake unto me again, and said," signifies exploration of the men of the church, as to the quality of the understanding of the Word still remaining with them; "Go take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea and upon the earth," signifies the Word manifested by the Lord to heaven and the church. "And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book," signifies the power of perceiving from the Lord the quality of the Word; "And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up," signifies, that he should read, perceive, and explore the Word, as to its interior and exterior qualities; "and it shall make thy belly bitter," signifies that it was interiorly undelightful, because adulterated; "but it shall be in thy mouth as sweet as honey," signifies, that it was exteriorly delightful. "And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it up," signifies exploration; "and it was in my mouth sweet as honey," signifies that the Word, as yet, as to its external sense or the sense of the letter, was perceived as delightful, but simply from the fact of its serving to confirm principles of falsity, originating in the love of self and the love of the world. "And as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter," signifies, that it was examined and perceived that the Word was interiorly undelightful, on account of the adulterated truth of the sense of its letter.
