属天的奥秘 第9479节

(一滴水译,2018-2022)

  9479.“他们要为我造一个圣所”表主、因而天堂的一个代表。这从“一个圣所”的含义清楚可知。“一个圣所”是指主,也指天堂,但在此是指主与天堂的一个代表,因为它是由木头所造、上面都以帘子遮盖的一个帐幕,这帐幕若不是因它的代表,不可能成为一个圣所。因为“一个圣所”表示圣洁本身,而除了唯独神性之物,因而唯独主之外,没有什么东西是神圣的(参看9229节)。天堂是“一个圣所”的原因是,天堂之所以为天堂,凭的是那里的神性之物。因为那里的天使照着他们汲取主的神性之物的程度而构成天堂;但照着他们汲取自己的东西而不构成天堂。由此明显可知当如何理解这句话,即:主是天堂全部中的全部。主在自己的东西,因而在神性之物中与天使同住,从而住在天堂中(参看9338e节)。
  “一个圣所”在至高意义上表示主,因为唯独祂是神圣的,唯独从祂发出之物是神圣的;以及“一个圣所”表示天堂,也表示教会,这些事物才是源于主而在天堂和教会中的“圣所”,这一点从圣言中提到“一个圣所”和“众圣所”的经文明显看出来,如以西结书:
  主耶和华说,我要把他们分散在各地,我还要在他们所到的各地作他们的一个小圣所。(以西结书11:16
  “一个圣所”表示主自己;因为在圣言中,“主耶和威”(Lord Jehovih)和“耶和华”表示主(9373节)。以赛亚书:
  求你从天上垂看,从你圣洁的居所观看。(以赛亚书63:15
  耶利米书:
  荣耀的宝座,从太初安置在高处是圣所的地方。(耶利米书17:12
  在这些经文中,“圣洁的居所”和“圣所”表示天堂。
  以赛亚书:
  不过片时,他们占据了你圣洁的民,我们的敌人已经践踏你的圣所。(以赛亚书63:18
  耶利米哀歌:
  列族进入祂的圣所。(耶利米哀歌1:10
  又:
  主丢弃自己的祭坛,憎恶自己的圣所。(耶利米哀歌2:7
  以西结书:
  主耶和威(Lord Jehovih)说,看哪,我要亵渎我的圣所,就是你们所夸耀的力量,眼里所喜爱的。(以西结书24:21
  利未记:
  我要使你们的城邑荒废,使你们的众圣所成为荒凉。(利未记26:31
  在这些经文中,“圣所”表示教会,“众圣所”表示属于教会的事物。由此明显可知为何帐幕被称为“一个圣所”,即因以下事实:帐幕代表天堂和教会,其中的圣物代表源于主而在天堂和教会中的神性事物。

Potts(1905-1910) 9479

9479. And let them make for Me a sanctuary. That this signifies a representative of the Lord, and thus of heaven, is evident from the signification of "a sanctuary," as being the Lord, and as being heaven; but here a representative of the Lord and of heaven, because it was a tabernacle made of wood and covered all round with curtains, and this could not have been a sanctuary except by means of the representation. For "a sanctuary" denotes holiness itself, and nothing is holy except the Divine alone, thus the Lord alone (see n. 9229). That heaven is "a sanctuary," is because heaven is heaven from what is Divine there; for the angels who are there make heaven in proportion as they have [something] from the Divine of the Lord; but in proportion as they have [anything] from themselves, they do not make heaven. From this it is plain how it is to be understood that the Lord is the all in all of heaven. (That the Lord dwells in His own, thus in the Divine with the angels, and thus in heaven, see n. 9338.) [2] That in the supreme sense "the sanctuary" denotes the Lord, because He alone is holy, and that alone is holy which proceeds from Him; and also that "the sanctuary" denotes heaven, and likewise the church, and that those things are "sanctuaries" which are in heaven and in the church from the Lord, is evident from the passages in the Word in which "a sanctuary" and "sanctuaries" are spoken of; as in Ezekiel:

The Lord Jehovih said, I will scatter them in the lands, and I will be to them a little sanctuary in the lands whither they shall come (Ezek. 11:18);

where "a sanctuary" denotes the Lord Himself; for "the Lord Jehovih," and "Jehovah," in the Word, denote the Lord (n. 9373). Again:

Look forth from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of Thy holiness (Isa. 63:15). As the throne of glory, the height from eternity, is the place of the sanctuary (Jer. 17:12);

in which passages "the habitation of holiness," and "the sanctuary," denote heaven. [3] Again:

Little is lacking but that Thou wilt possess the people of Thy holiness; our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary (Isa. 63:18). The nations have come into His sanctuary (Lam. 1:10). The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath abhorred His sanctuary (Lam. 2:7). The Lord Jehovih said, Behold I will profane My sanctuary, the magnificence of your strength, the desire of your eyes (Ezek. 24:21). I will make your cities a waste, and will desolate your sanctuaries (Lev. 26:31). In these passages "the sanctuary" denotes the church, and "sanctuaries," the things that belong to the church. From all this it is evident why the tabernacle is called "a sanctuary," namely, from the fact that by it was represented heaven and the church, and that by the holy things therein were represented Divine things that are from the Lord in heaven and in the church.

Elliott(1983-1999) 9479

9479. 'And they are to make Me a sanctuary' means a representative of the Lord, and so of heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sanctuary' as the Lord and as heaven, but at this point a representative of the Lord and heaven, since it was a tabernacle made of pieces of wood and covered all over with curtains, and this could not have been a sanctuary but for its representation. For 'a sanctuary' means holiness itself; and nothing is holy except what is Divine, thus the Lord alone, 9229. The reason why heaven is a sanctuary is that heaven is heaven by virtue of what is Divine there. For the angels there, so far as they draw on what is Divine and the Lord's, constitute heaven; but so far as they draw on what is their own they do not constitute heaven. From this it is evident how the saying that the Lord is the All in all of heaven should be understood. For the Lord dwells with angels, and so in heaven, in what is His own, thus in what is Divine, see 9338 (end).

[2] The fact that 'a sanctuary' in the highest sense means the Lord, because He alone is holy and that alone is holy which emanates from Him, and also the fact that 'a sanctuary' means heaven, and the Church as well, and that sanctuaries are those realities of which the Lord is the source in heaven and the Church, is clear from places in the Word where the words 'sanctuary' and 'sanctuaries' are used, as in Ezekiel,

The Lord Jehovih has said, I will scatter them into the lands, and I will be a little sanctuary for them in the lands to which they will come. Ezek 11:16.

Here 'a sanctuary' stands for the Lord Himself, for 'the Lord Jehovih' and 'Jehovah' in the Word mean the Lord, 9373. In Isaiah,

Look out from the heavens, and see from the dwelling-place of your holiness and of Your glory. Isa 63:15.

In Jeremiah,

Like a throne of glory, a height from eternity, [is] the place of the sanctuary. Jer 17:12.

In these places 'the dwelling-place of holiness' and 'the sanctuary' stand for heaven.

[3] In Isaiah,

But a little while, and they have possessed the people of Your holiness; our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary. Isa 63:18.

In Jeremiah,

The nations have come into His sanctuary. Lam 1:10.

In the same book,

The Lord has abandoned His altar, He has abominated His sanctuary. Lam 2:7.

In Ezekiel,

The Lord Jehovih has said, Behold, I am about to profane My sanctuary, the pridea of your strength, the desire of your eyes. Ezek 24:21.

In Moses,

I will make your cities a waste, and desolate your sanctuaries. Lev 26:31.

In these places 'the sanctuary' stands for the Church, and 'sanctuaries' for things belonging to the Church. From all this it is clear how the tabernacle comes to be called the sanctuary, namely from the fact that heaven and the Church were represented by the tabernacle, and the Divine realities of which the Lord is the source in heaven and in the Church were represented by the holy things there.

9479. '{1}Et' faciant Mihi sanctuarium': quod significet repraesentativum Domini, ita caeli, constat ex significatione `sanctuarii' quod sit Dominus, et quod sit caelum, hic autem repraesentativum Domini et caeli, quoniam tabernaculum fuit, factum ex lignis, et circumtectum aulaeis; quod non sanctuarium potuit esse nisi per repraesentationem; sanctuarium enim est ipsum sanctum, et nihil sanctum {2} quam {3}solum Divinum, ita solus Dominus, n. 9229. Quod caelum sit sanctuarium, est quia caelum est caelum ex Divino ibi, nam angeli qui ibi, quantum ex Divino Domini habent, tantum faciunt caelum, quantum autem ex se, tantum non faciunt caelum; inde patet quomodo intelligitur quod Dominus sit omne in omnibus caeli; quod Dominus in Suo, ita in Divino habitet apud angelos ita in caelo, videatur n. 9338 fin. Quod sanctuarium in supremo sensu sit Dominus, quia Ipse solus 2 sanctus, et id solum sanctum quod procedit ab Ipso, tum quod sanctuarium sit caelum, et quoque Ecclesia, et quod sanctuaria sint quae in caelo et in Ecclesia a Domino sunt, constat a locis in Verbo ubi `sanctuarium' et `sanctuaria' dicuntur, ut apud Ezechielem, Dixit Dominus Jehovih, (x)Dispergam eos in terras, et ero illis in sanctuarium exiguum in terris quo venient, xi 16;

ibi `sanctuarium' pro Ipso Domino, nam Dominus Jehovih et Jehovah in Verbo est Dominus, n. 9373 apud Esaiam, Prospice e caelis, et vide ex habitaculo sanctitatis Tuae et decoris Tui, lxiii 15:

apud Jeremiam, Sicut thronus gloriae, altitudo ab aeterno, locus sanctuarii, xvii 12:

ibi `habitaculum sanctitatis' et `sanctuarium' pro caelo: apud Esaiam, 3 Parum abest, quin (x)possederint populum sanctitatis Tuae, hostes nostri conculcarunt sanctuarium Tuum, lxiii 18:

apud Jeremiam, Gentes venerunt in sanctuarium Ipsius, Threni i 10:

apud eundem, Deseruit Dominus altare Suum, abominatus est sanctuarium Suum, Threni ii 7:

apud Ezechielem, Dixit Dominus Jehovih, Ecce Ego profanaturus sanctuarium Meum, magnificentiam roboris vestri, desiderium oculorum vestrorum, xxiv 21:

apud Moschen, Dabo urbes vestras vastitatem, et desolabo sanctuaria vestra, Lev. xxvi 31;

ibi `sanctuarium' pro Ecclesia, et `sanctuaria' pro illis quae Ecclesiae. Ex his constat unde {4}est quod tabernaculum dicatur sanctuarium, nempe ex eo quod per id repraesentatum fuerit caelum (c)et Ecclesia, et quod per sancta ibi repraesentata (x)fuerint Divina quae ex Domino in caelo et in Ecclesia. @1 Ut AIT$ @2 i est$ @3 solummodo$ @4 sit$
