9400.“说，看哪，立约的血”表主的神性人身通过这真理与天地结合。这从“血”和“约”的含义清楚可知：“血”是指从主的神性人身发出的神性真理，如前所述（9393，9399节）；“约”是指结合，也如前所述（9396节）。之所以表示与天地的结合，是因为从主神性人身发出的神性真理穿过天堂降到人这里，一路上适应每层天堂，最后适应人类本身。我们地球上的神性真理就是圣言（9350-9362节），这圣言以这种方式构成：它在每一个细节上都有一个面向天堂的内在意义，最后拥有一个外在意义，就是面向人类的字义。由此明显可知，主通过圣言与天堂并世界结合（2143，7153，7381，8920，9094e，9212e，9216e，9357，9396节）。
由此得出的确切结论是，地球上若没有圣言，天堂将不会与人类结合，因此，主也不会与人类结合；没有结合，地球上的人类将彻底灭亡。因为构成人内层生命的，是从主流入的神之真理。这真理就是光本身，光照内在人的视觉，也就是他的理解力；它也是含有那光在里面的天堂之热，也就是爱，点燃或温暖内在人的意愿，给它带来生命。因此，没有这光和热，人的内在就会变瞎、变冷，从而死亡，就像没有尘世太阳的热和光，人的外在就会死亡一样。不过，对那些不相信圣言具有这种性质的人，以及那些以为人里面的生命本质上是他自己的，而不是从主经由天堂不断流入的某种东西的人来说，这一切似乎是一个荒谬的悖论。人里面的生命本质上并不是他的，而是从主流入的（参看4249，4882，5147，5150，5986，6053-6058，6189-6215，6307-6327，6466-6495，6598-6626，6982，6985，6996，7055，7056，7058，7147，7270，7343，8685，8701，8717，8728，9110，9111，9223，9276节）；主的教会遍布全世界，在主眼里如同一个人（9276节），和天堂一样，天堂因此被称为大人；有圣言存在的教会如同这个人的心和肺；教会之外的所有人都从它获得生命，如同身体的肢体、内脏和其它一切器官从心和肺获得生命一样（2054，2853，7396节）。

9400. And said, Behold the blood of the covenant. That this signifies the conjunction of the Lord in respect to the Divine Human with heaven and with earth, is evident from the signification of "blood," as being the Divine truth that proceeds from the Divine Human of the Lord (of which above, n. 9393, 9399); and from the signification of "the covenant," as being conjunction (of which also above, n. 9396). That the conjunction with heaven and with earth is signified, is because the Divine truth that proceeds from the Divine Human of the Lord passes through the heavens down to man, and on the way is accommodated to each heaven, and lastly to man himself. Divine truth on our earth is the Word (n. 9350-9362), which is of such a character that in respect to each and all things it has an internal sense which is for the heavens; and finally an external sense, which is the sense of the letter, and which is for man. From this it is evident that through the Word there is conjunction of the Lord with the heavens and with the world (n. 2143, 7153, 7381, 8920, 9094, 9212, 9216, 9357, 9396). [2] A sure conclusion from this is that without the Word on this earth there would be no conjunction of heaven, thus no conjunction of the Lord, with man; and if there were no conjunction, the human race on this earth would utterly perish. For that which makes the interior life of man is the influx of truth Divine from the Lord, because this truth Divine is the very light that lights up the sight of the internal man; that is, his understanding; and it is the heavenly heat within this light, which is love, that enkindles and vivifies the will of the internal man. And therefore without this light and heat the internal of man would become blind and cold, and would die, just as the external of man would die if deprived of the heat and light of the sun of the world. But this will appear as a paradox to those who do not believe that the Word is of such a nature; and also to those who believe that life is in man as his own, and does not continually flow in through heaven from the Lord. (That the life of man is not in himself, but flows in from the Lord, see n. 4249, 4882, 5147, 5150, 5986, 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6327, 6466-6495, 6598-6626, 6982, 6985, 6996, 7055, 7056, 7058, 7147, 7270, 7343, 8685, 8701, 8717, 8728, 9110, 9111, 9223, 9276; and that the Lord's church scattered through the whole world is before the Lord as one man, n. 9276, in like manner as is heaven, which is for this reason called the Grand Man; and that the church where is the Word is as the heart and lungs of this man; and that all outside the church live therefrom, as the members, viscera, and all the other organs of the body, live from the heart and lungs, n. 2054, 2853, 7396.)

9400. 'And said, Behold the blood of the covenant' means that by means of this truth the Lord's Divine Human is joined to heaven and to earth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the blood' as Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with above in 9393, 9399; and from the meaning of 'the covenant' as a joining together, also dealt with above, in 9396. The reason why it is a joining to heaven and to earth is that the Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord's Divine Human passes through the heavens, right on to mankind in the world; and on the way down it is adapted to suit each heaven, and ultimately mankind itself. Divine Truth on our planet is the Word, 9350-9362, which is composed in such a way that it has, in every detail, an inward sense intended for the heavens, and finally an outward sense, which is the literal sense, intended for mankind. From this it is evident that through the Word the Lord is joined to the heavens and to the world, 2143, 7153, 7381, 8920, 9094 (end), 9212 (end), 9216 (end), 9357, 9396.
[2] All this leads to the definite conclusion that without the Word on this planet heaven would not be joined to mankind, and neither therefore would the Lord, and if that conjunction did not exist the human race on this planet would entirely perish. For what composes a person's interior life is God's truth flowing in from the Lord. This truth is light itself, enlightening the person's inner sight, that is, his understanding; it is also the heavenly heat, held within that light, which is love, warming and bringing life to the will part in the internal man. Left without this light and heat therefore the inner being of a person would become blind and cold and it would die, in the same way that a person's outward being would if left without the heat and light of the worldly sun. But all this will seem to be absurd to those who do not believe that the Word is of such a nature, also to those who believe that life in a person is intrinsically his own and not something flowing in unceasingly from the Lord by way of heaven.
The life within a person is not intrinsically his but flows in from the Lord, see 4249, 4882, 5147, 5150, 5986, 6053-6058, 6189-6215, 6307-6327, 6466-6495, 6598-6626, 6982, 6985, 6996, 7055, 7056, 7058, 7147, 7270, 7343, 8685, 8701, 8717, 8728, 9110, 9111, 9223, 9276. Before the Lord's eyes His Church, spread throughout the world, is like one human being, 9276, in the same way as heaven is, which is consequently called the Grand Man. The Church, where the Word exists, is like the heart and lungs in that human being, and all outside the Church receive life from it, even as the members, viscera, and all other organs of the body receive life from the heart and lungs, 2054, 2853, 7396.
