854# 启14:2.“我听见有声音从天上来，像众水的声音”表示主从来自祂自己的神性真理中所得的荣耀。这从“从天上来的声音”和“众水”的含义清楚可知：“从天上来的声音”是指主的荣耀，因为“从从天上来的声音”涉及由此所说的话，这些话在此随之而来，尤其包含在“新歌”中，新歌表示对主的承认和称谢。“众水”是指来自主的神性真理。在圣言中，“水”表示神性真理(可参看AE71,483,518节)；由于这就是“水”的含义，所以有时从天上听到的说话声就像流水声；这就是行走在灯台中间的人子的声音：
祂的声音如同多水的声音。(启示录1:15)以及下面的话：
我听见好像一大群人的响声，像众水的响声，像大雷的响声。(启示录19:6)
又：基路伯翅膀的声音听上去就像大水的声音。(以西结书1:24)
854. (Verse 2) And I heard a voice out of heaven, as the voice of many waters. That this signifies the glorification of the Lord from the Divine truths, which are from Himself, is clear from the signification of a voice out of heaven, as denoting the glorification of the Lord. For a voice out of heaven involves the things that are spoken therefrom, and which now follow, and are especially contained in the new song, by which is signified acknowledgment and confession of the Lord; and from the signification of many waters, as denoting Divine truths, which are from the Lord.
That by waters, in the Word, are signified Divine truths, may be seen above (n. Apoc. 1:15).
And in the following:
"I heard the voice of a great trumpet, and as the voice of many waters, and as it were the voice of mighty thunderings" (Apoc. 19:6).
Similarly
The sound of the wings of the cherubs was heard as the sound of great waters (Ezekiel 1:24).
854. Verse 2. And I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters, signifies glorification of the Lord from the Divine truths that are from Him. This is evident from the signification of "a voice from heaven" as being the glorification of the Lord, since "a voice from heaven" involves the things thus spoken, and these here follow, and are especially contained in "the new song," by which acknowledgment and confession of the Lord are signified. Also from the signification of "many waters," as being Divine truths that are from the Lord. That "waters" signify in the Word Divine truths, may be seen above (n. Revelation 1:15).
Also in the following words:
I heard the voice of a great multitude, and as it were the voice of many waters, and as it were the voice of mighty thunders (Revelation 19:6).
And again:
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard like the sound of great waters (Ezekiel 1:24).
854. [Vers. 2.] "Et audivi vocem e caelo, tanquam vocem aquarum multarum." Quod significet glorificationem Domini ex Divinis veris quae ab Ipso, constat ex significatione "vocis e caelo", quod sit glorificatio Domini; nam "vox e caelo" involvit illa quae inde dicta sunt, et nunc sequuntur, et quae imprimis continentur in "cantico novo", per quod significatur agnitio et confessio Domini: et ex significatione "aquarum multarum", quod sint Divina vera quae a Domino. Quod per "aquas" in Verbo significentur Divina vera, videatur supra (n. 71, 483, 518); et quia illa per "aquas" significantur, ideo loquelae e caelo audiuntur quandoque sicut sonus aquarum fluentium, similiter ut audita est vox Filii hominis in medio candelabrorum ambulantis,
Cujus "vox erat sicut sonitus aquarum multarum" (Apocalypsis 1:15);
et in sequentibus,
"Audivi vocem turbae multae, et quasi vocem aquarum multarum, et quasi vocem tonitruorum validorum" (Apocalypsis 19:6):
similiter
Sonus alarum cheruborum auditus est quasi sonus aquarum magnarum (Ezechiel 1:24).
