8039.本章的后面部分，以及本章后面的章节论述了那些属于属灵教会，在主降临之前滞留在低地，直到能被引入天堂之人进一步的预备。为叫他们被带到那里，他们首先安全地通过诅咒的中间被送过去，然后经历试探；在此期间，主始终同在。穿越红海通过诅咒中间被送过去；在百姓被领到的旷野的生活表示试探；日间的云柱和夜间的火柱表示主的同在。

8039. In the latter portion of the chapter, and thereafter, the subject treated of is the further preparation of those who were of the spiritual church and who before the coming of the Lord were detained in the lower earth until they could be introduced into heaven, and that for the sake of this end they were first sent through the midst of damnation in safety, and after this underwent temptations, the Lord being continually present. Transmission through the midst of damnation is signified by the passage through the sea Suph; temptations are signified by that life in the wilderness to which they were led; and the presence of the Lord is signified by the pillar of cloud by day, and of fire by night.

8039. The latter part of the present chapter, and what comes after it, deals with the further preparation of those belonging to the spiritual Church who were held back on the lower earth before the Lord's Coming, until they could be led into heaven. To the end that they might be brought there they were first conveyed safely through the midst of damnation, then underwent temptations, during all of which the Lord was present constantly. Their conveyance through the midst of damnation is meant by the passage through the Sea Suph; their temptations are meant by life in the wilderness to which the people were led; and the Lord's presence is meant by the pillar of cloud during the daytime and of fire by night.
