366.“站在宝座和羔羊面前”表听从主并行祂所吩咐的事。“站在神面前”表示听从并行祂所吩咐的事,好比一个人侍立在国王面前。在圣言中,别处的“站(或侍立)在神面前”也表示这一点,如:
天使对撒迦利亚说,我是站在神面前的加百列。(路加福音1:19);
必永不缺人侍立在我面前。(耶利米书35:19)
这是两个侍立在全地之主面前的橄榄树之子。(撒迦利亚书4:14)
祂将利未支派分别出来,侍立在耶和华面前。(申命记10:8)
以及别处。
366. Standing before the throne and before the Lamb. This symbolically means, listening to the Lord and doing what He commands.
To stand before the Lord means, symbolically, to hear and do what He commands, like one who stands before a king.
This is also the symbolic meaning of standing before God, or in the presence of God, elsewhere in the Word, as when the angel said to Zacharias,
I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God... (Luke 1:19)
A man who stands before Me shall not be cut off forever. (Jeremiah 35:19)
These are the two offspring of the olive tree, who stand before the Lord of the whole earth. (Zechariah 4:14)
(He) separated the tribe of Levi... to stand before Jehovah... (Deuteronomy 10:8)
And so on elsewhere.
366. 'Standing before the throne and before the Lamb' signifies hearing the Lord and doing the things He commands. By 'to stand before God' is signified to hear and do the things He commands, as he who stands before a king. This is signified by 'to stand before God' elsewhere in the Word also, as:
The angel said to Zachariah, I am Gabriel standing before God. Luke 1:19.
No man standing before Me all the days shall be forgotten. Jeremiah 35:19.
These are the two sons of an olive tree standing before the Lord of the whole land, Zechariah 4:14.
He separated the tribe of Levi to stand before Jehovah. Deuteronomy 10:8; and elsewhere.
366. Standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, signifies hearing the Lord, and doing what He commands. By "standing before God," is signified to hear and do what He commands, as he who stands before a king. The same is also signified by "standing before God," in other parts of the Word; thus:
The angel said to Zacharias, I am Gabriel, that standeth before God, (Luke 1:19).
There shall not be cut off a man standing before Me all the days, (Jeremiah 35:19).
These are the two sons of oil standing before the Lord of the whole earth, (Zechariah 4:14).
He hath separated the tribe of Levi to stand before Jehovah, (Deuteronomy 10:8).
366. "Stantes coram Throno et coram Agno," significat audientes Dominum et facientes quae praecipit. - Per "stare coram Deo" significatur audire et facere quae praecipit, sicut qui stat coram Rege: hoc significatur per "stare coram Deo" etiam alibi in Verbo; ut,
Angelus dixit Sachariae, "Sum Gabriel, Stans coram Deo," (Luca 1:19);
"Non excidetur vir Stans coram Me omnibus diebus," (Jeremias 35:19);
"Hi sunt duo filii oleae Stantes coram Domino totius terrae," (Sacharias 4:14);
"Separavit tribum Levi ad Standum coram Jehovah," (Deuteronomius 10:8).
(Et alibi.)
