《揭秘启示录》第910节

（一滴水译 2025）

910、“按着人的尺寸，就是天使的尺寸”表示新教会的品质，即：它与天堂合而为一或构成一体。“尺寸”(measure，即度量)表示一个事物的品质(AR 313, 486节)。“人”在此表示由人组成的教会，“天使”表示由天使组成的天堂。因此，“按着人的尺寸，就是天使的尺寸”表示教会的品质，即：它与天堂合而为一。在圣言中，“人”表示来自圣言的聪明和智慧(AR 243节)，人里面来自圣言的聪明和智慧就是他里面的教会，或说构成该教会。因此，从整体或总体上说，也就是当一个社群或会众被称为“人”时，“人”在灵义上是指教会。这就是为何先知被称为“人子”，主自己也称自己为“人子”，“人子”是指来自圣言的教会的真理，当论及主时，是指圣言本身，教会源于圣言。“(一位)天使”表示三样事物，在至高意义上表示主，在普遍意义上表示天堂或一个天堂社群，在具体意义上表示神性真理。“(一位)天使”表示这三者(参看AR 5, 65, 170, 258, 342, 344, 415, 465, 644, 647, 648, 657, 718节)，在此表示将与主的新教会合而为一的天堂。来自圣言、因而来自主的教会是一个与天堂联系在一起，并与主结合的教会(可参看AR 818节)；但对一个不是来自主之圣言的教会来说，情况并非如此。

Apocalypse Revealed (Rogers translation 2007) 910

910. The measure of a man, that is, of an angel. This symbolizes the character of the New Church as being united with heaven.

A measure symbolizes the character of a thing (nos. 313, 486). A man here symbolizes the church, which is composed of people, and an angel symbolizes heaven, which is composed of angels. Therefore the measure of a man, that is, of an angel, symbolizes the character of the church as being united with heaven.

A man in the Word symbolizes intelligence and wisdom gained from the Word (no. 243), and intelligence and wisdom from the Word in a person constitute the church in him. Consequently a man in a concrete or generic sense - that is, when a society or company of people is called a man - in the spiritual sense means the church. That is why prophets were called sons of man, and why the Lord called Himself Son of Man. A son of man means a church's truth from the Word, and when applied to the Lord, it means the Word itself on which the church is founded.

An angel has three symbolic meanings: in the highest sense the Lord; in a general sense heaven or a heavenly society; and in a particular sense Divine truth. That an angel has these three symbolic meanings may be seen in nos. 5, 65, 170, 258, 342, 344, 415, 465, 644, 647, 648, 657, 718. Here the angel symbolizes the heaven with which the Lord's New Church will be united.

A church that is founded on the Word, thus on the Lord, is a church affiliated with heaven and conjoined with the Lord, as may be seen in no. 818 above. Not so a church not founded on the Lord's Word.

Apocalypse Revealed (Coulson translation 1970) 910

910. 'The measure of a man, that is, of an angel' signifies that Church's quality of making one with heaven. By 'measure' is signified the quality of a thing (313, 486). By 'a man' here is signified the Church [composed] of men, and by 'an angel' is signified heaven [composed] of angels. Consequently by 'the measure of a man, that is, of an angel' is signified the Church's quality of making one with heaven. By 'a man' in the Word is signified intelligence and wisdom derived from the Word (243), intelligence and wisdom derived from the Word with a man being the Church with him. Consequently by 'a man' in the aggregate or in general, that is, when a society or assembly is called 'a man,' in the spiritual sense is understood the Church. This is why the prophets were termed 'sons of man' and the Lord Himself called Himself 'the Son of Man,' and 'Son of Man' is the Truth of the Church derived from the Word, and when said of the Lord it is the Word Itself from which the Church is derived. By 'an angel' is signified three things, in the highest sense the Lord, in a general sense heaven or a heavenly society, and in particular Divine Truth. That these three are signified by 'an angel' may be seen (5, 65, 570, 258, 342, 344, 415, 465, 644, 647-648, 657, 718), here the heaven with which the Lord's New Church will make one. That the Church that is derived from the Word, thus is from the Lord, is a Church in consociation with heaven and in conjunction with the Lord, may be seen above (818). It is otherwise with a Church that is not derived from the Word of the Lord.

Apocalypse Revealed (Whitehead translation 1928) 910

910. The measure of a man, which is of an angel, signifies the quality of that church that it makes one with heaven. By "measure" is signified the quality of a thing, (313, 486); by "man" here is signified the church from men, and by "angel" is signified heaven from angels; therefore by "the measure of a man, that is, of an angel," is signified the quality of the church that it makes one with heaven. By "man" in the Word is signified intelligence and wisdom from the Word, (243), and intelligence and wisdom from the Word in man, are the church with him; hence by "man" in the concrete or in general, that is, when a society or assembly is called a man, in the spiritual sense is meant the church. Hence it is, that the prophets were called "sons of man," and that the Lord Himself called Himself "the Son of man," and "the Son of man" is the truth of the church from the Word, and when said of the Lord is the Word itself from which the church exists. By "an angel" three things are signified, in the highest sense the Lord, in a general sense heaven or a heavenly society, and in a particular sense the Divine truth; that these three things are signified by "an angel" may be seen, (5, 65, 170, 258, 342, 344, 415, 465, 644, 647, 648, 657, 718); here it signifies heaven, with which the Lord's New Church will make one. That the church which is from the Word, and thus from the Lord, is in consociation with heaven, and in conjunction with the Lord, may be seen above, (818); but it is otherwise with a church which is not from the Word of the Lord.

Apocalypsis Revelata 910 (original Latin 1766)

910. "Mensura hominis quae est Angeli," significat quale Ecclesiae istius, quod unum faciat cum Caelo. -Per "mensuram" significatur quale rei (313, 486); per "hominem" hic significatur Ecclesia ex hominibus, et per "Angelum" significatur Caelum ex angelis; inde per "mensuram hominis quae est Angeli" significatur quale Ecclesiae quod unum faciat cum Caelo. Per "hominem" in Verbo significatur intelligentia et sapientia ex Verbo (243), ac intelligentia et sapientia ex Verbo apud hominem est Ecclesia apud illum; inde per "hominem" in concreto seu in communi, hoc est, cum societas seu caetus vocatur homo, in spirituali Sensu intelligitur Ecclesia: inde est quod prophetae dicti fuerint "filii hominis," et quod Ipse Dominus Se vocaverit "Filium Hominis," et "Filius Hominis" est Verum Ecclesiae ex Verbo, et cum de Domino est Ipsum Verbum ex quo Ecclesia. Per "Angelum" significantur tria, in supremo Sensu Dominus, in communi Sensu Caelum aut societas caelestis, et in particulari Divinum Verum (quod haec tria per "Angelum" significentur, videatur 5, 65, 170, 258, 342, 344, 415, 465, 644, 647, 648, 657, 718); ¹hic Caelum cum quo Nova Domini Ecclesia unum faciet. Quod Ecclesia quae ex Verbo, ita a Domino, est Ecclesia, in consociatione sit cum Caelo, et in conjunctione cum Domino, videatur supra (818); aliter Ecclesia quae non ex Verbo Domini est.
