237.“又有七盏火灯在宝座前点着，这七灯就是神的七灵”表来自基督徒当中的新天堂，或主藉着从祂自己所发出的神性真理而建立的天上和地上的新教会（Coulsons版）。此处“七灯”与前面的“七个灯台”并“七星”所表相同。从前面可以看出，“七个灯台”表示世上的新教会，它将处于来自主的启示中（43节）；“七星”表示天上的新教会（65节）；由于教会出于从主所发出的神性，也就是神性真理，被称为圣灵而成为教会，所以经上说“这七灯就是神的七灵”。从前面可以看出，“神的七灵”表示所发出的神性（14，155节）。
237. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. This symbolizes a resulting new church in heaven and on earth, established by the Lord through the Divine truth emanating from Him.
The seven lamps here have the same symbolic meaning as the seven lampstands previously, and also the seven stars. To be shown that the seven lampstands mean a new church on earth, which will have an enlightenment from the Lord, see no. 43 above; and that the seven stars mean a new church in the heavens, no. 65. Moreover, because the church is a church by virtue of the Divinity that emanates from the Lord, which is Divine truth and is called the Holy Spirit, therefore the text says, "which are the seven spirits of God." To be shown that the seven spirits of God symbolize that Divine emanation, see nos. 14, 155 above.
237. 'And seven lamps of fire [blazing] before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God' signifies the New Church resulting therefrom in heaven and on earth from the Lord by means of the Divine Truth proceeding from Himself. A similar thing is signified here by the 'seven lamps' as by the 'seven lampstands,' and also by the 'seven stars' above. It may be seen above that by the 'seven lampstands' is understood a New Church on earth (in terris) which will be in enlightenment from the Lord (43); and by 'the seven stars' the New Church in the heavens (65); and because the Church is a Church out of the Divine that proceeds from the Lord, which is the Divine Truth (veritas) and is called the Holy Spirit, it is therefore said, 'which are the seven spirits of God.' It may be seen above that by the 'seven spirits of God' is signified that Divine proceeding (14, 155).
237. And there where seven lamps of fire 1before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God signifies the New Church in heaven and on earth from the Lord through the Divine truth proceeding from Him. Here by "seven lamps" the same is signified as by "the seven lamp stands;" and also by "the seven stars" above. That by "the seven lamp stands" is meant the New Church upon earth, which will be in enlightenment from the Lord, may be seen above, (43), and by "the seven stars," the New Church in the heavens, (65); and because the church is a church from the Divine which proceeds from the Lord, which is the Divine truth, and is called the Holy Spirit, therefore it is said, "which are the seven spirits of God." That by "the seven spirits of God" is signified that proceeding Divine, may be seen above, (14, 155).
237. Et septem lampades ignis (ardentes) coram Throno, quae sunt septem Spiritus Dei," significat inde Novam Ecclesiam in Caelo et in Terra a Domino per Divinum Verum ab Ipso procedens. - Per "septem lampades" hic simile significatur quod per "septem candelabra" et quoque per "septem stellas" supra; quod per "septem candelabra" intelligatur nova Ecclesia in terris, quae in illustratione a Domino erit, videatur supra (43); et quod per "septem stellas," nova Ecclesia in Caelis (65); et quia Ecclesia est Ecclesia ex Divino quod a Domino procedit, quod est Divina Veritas, et vocatur Spiritus Sanctus, ideo dicitur, "quae sunt septem Spiritus Dei." Quod per "septem Spiritus Dei" significetur Divinum illud procedens, videatur supra (14, 155).
