3009、其次:“弥赛亚”、“受膏者”、“王”和神性真理是一样的,这一点从圣言中的大量经文明显看出来,并且在前面的解释(如1672, 1728, 2015, 2069节)中已经频繁说明了。主自己在约翰福音也教导了这一点:
彼拉多就对耶稣说,那么,你是王吗?耶稣回答,你说的是,因为我就是王;我为此而生,也为此来到世界,好给真理作见证。凡属真理的人,都听我的嗓音。(约翰福音18:37)
由此清楚可知,神性真理本身是主被称为“王”的根源。王之所以受膏,因而被称为受膏者,是因为膏抹他们所用的“油”表示良善(886, 2832节)。“王”所表示的真理源于良善,因而是良善的真理;因此,王的王权代表源于神性良善的神性真理方面的主,因而代表良善在真理里面的神性婚姻;而祭司的职分代表真理在良善里面的神性婚姻。后者由“耶稣”来表示,前者由“基督”来表示。

3009. Second: That "Messiah," "Anointed," and "King," are the same as the Divine truth, is evident from very many passages in the Word, and has been shown several times in the explications (as in n. 1672, 1728, 2015, 2069); and the Lord Himself so teaches in John:
Pilate said unto Jesus, Art Thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King; for this was I born, and for this am come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth; everyone who is of the truth heareth My voice (John 18:37). It is evident from this that it is the Divine truth itself from which the Lord was called "King." That kings were anointed, and were therefore called the anointed, was because the oil with which they were anointed signified good (n. 886, 2832), denoting that the truth signified by a "king" was from good, consequently was the truth of good; and thus that the royal office with kings might represent the Lord as to the Divine truth which is from Divine good, and thus the Divine marriage of good in truth; while the priestly office represented the Divine marriage of truth in good. The latter is signified by "Jesus;" the former by "Christ."

3009. As to the second point - that Messiah, Anointed, or King is the same as Divine Truth - this is clear from very many places in the Word, and has been shown frequently in explanations; as in 1672, 1728, 2015, 2069. The Lord Himself also teaches the same in John,
Pilate said to Jesus, Are you not then a king? Jesus answered, You say it, because I am a King. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice. John 18:37.
From this it is clear that the Divine Truth itself is at the root of the Lord's being called 'the King'. The reason why kings were anointed and consequently called the anointed was that 'the oil' with which they were anointed meant good, 886, 2832. Also the truth, meant by 'king', was derived from good and was accordingly truth grounded in good, so that the kingly office with them represented the Lord as regards Divine Truth which is derived from Divine Good, and so represented the Divine marriage of good within truth, whereas the priestly function represented the Divine marriage of truth within good. The latter is meant by Jesus, the former by Christ.

3009. Quod alterum attinet, nempe quod Messias, Unctus et Rex sit idem ac Divinum Verum, constat a plurimis locis in Verbo, et ostensum est aliquoties in explicationibus, ut n. 1672, 1728, 2015, 2069; ac Ipse Dominus hoc docet apud Johannem, Dixit ad Jesum {1}Pilatus, Nonne ergo Rex es Tu? respondit Jesus, Tu dicis, quia Rex sum; Ego in hoc natus sum, et in hoc veni in mundum, ut testimonium dem veritati, omnis qui est ex veritate, audit vocem Meam, xviii 37;inde constat quod ipsum Divinum Verum sit, ex quo Dominus Rex dictus: quod ungerentur reges, et inde dicti uncti, erat quia `oleum' quo ungebantur, significabat bonum, n. 886, 2832, et quod verum, quod `rex' significabat, esset ex bono, ita boni verum, et sic `regium' apud illos repraesentaret Dominum quoad Divinum Verum quod est ex Divino Bono, ita conjugium Divinum boni in vero; at `sacerdotale' conjugium Divinum veri in bono; hoc significatur per `Jesum,' illud per `Christum. @1 before ad$
