155、“这些事是那有神的七灵和七星的说的”表示主,一切真理,以及良善和真理的一切知识或认知都来自祂。“神的七灵”是指从主发出的神性真理(参看AR 14节);“七星”是指来自圣言的良善和真理的一切知识或认知(AR 51节),天上的教会就由这些知识或认知形成(AR 65节)。现在主说这些事,是因为所论述的主题是死的敬拜和活的敬拜,敬拜从真理和照之的生活中拥有生命。
155. "'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars.'" This symbolically means, the Lord from whom spring all truths and all concepts of goodness and truth.
The seven spirits of God mean the Divine truth emanating from the Lord, as may be seen in no. 14 above. And the seven stars mean all concepts of goodness and truth from the Word (no. 51), by which the church is formed in heaven (no. 65).
These are the particulars said by the Lord now because the subject is lifeless worship and living worship, and worship has life from truths and from a life in accordance with those truths.
155. 'These things says He Who has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars' signifies the Lord from Whom [come] all truths (veritas), and all the cognitions of good and truth. That by 'the seven spirits of God' is understood Divine Truth proceeding from the Lord, or the Divine Truth (veritas), may be seen above (14); and that by 'the seven stars' are understood all the cognitions of good and truth out of the Word (51), out of which cognitions the Church in heaven is [formed] (65). These things are now said by the Lord because it treats of dead worship and living worship; and worship is living as a result of truths and a life in accordance with them.
155. These things saith He that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars, signifies the Lord, from whom are all truths, and all the knowledges of good and truth. That by "the seven spirits of God" is meant the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord, or the Divine verity, may be seen above, (14); and that by "the seven stars" are meant all the knowledges of good and truth from the Word, (51), from which is the church in heaven, (65). These things are now said by the Lord, because the subject treated of is concerning dead worship and concerning living worship, and worship lives from truths, and from a life according to them.
155. Haec dicit habens septem Spiritus Dei, et septem stellas," significat Dominum ex Quo omnes veritates, et omnes cognitiones boni et veri. Quod per "septem Spiritus Dei" intelligatur Divinum Verum procedens a Domino, seu Divina Veritas, videatur supra (14) et quod per "septem stellas" intelligantur omnes cognitiones boni et veri ex Verbo (51), ex quibus est Ecclesia in Caelo (65). Illa nunc a Domino dicuntur, quia agitur de Cultu mortuo et de Cultu vivo, et cultus vivit ex veris et ex vita secundum illa.
