370.“面伏在宝座前敬拜神”表他们内心的谦卑,以及出于谦卑而对主的崇拜。很明显,“他们面伏并敬拜”就是内心的谦卑和由此而来的崇拜。“面伏在宝座前敬拜神”之所以表示在主面前的谦卑和对祂的崇拜,是因为“神”表示祂的神性本身,也就是万有所源于的神性,同时表示祂的神性人(368节);因为这二者一起为一位神,因为他们是一个位格。
370. And they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God. This symbolizes a humbling of their heart, and in their humility an adoration of the Lord.
To fall on their faces and worship is plainly a humbling of their heart and consequent worship. Humility before the Lord and worship of Him is symbolically meant by falling before the throne and adoring God because God means His Divinity - the Divine from which all else springs - and at the same time His Divine humanity (no. 368); for the two constitute one God, being one Person.
370. 'And they fell before the throne on their faces, and adored God' signifies the humiliation of their hearts and, as a result of the humiliation, adoration of the Lord. That 'to fall upon [their] faces and adore' is humiliation of heart and the adoration resulting, is plain. Humiliation before the Lord and adoration of Him is signified by 'to fall before the throne and adore God,' because by 'God' is understood His Divine, which is the Divine from Which [are all things] and at the same time the Divine Human (368), for each Divine is the One God, because one Person.
370. And fell before the throne on their faces and adored God, signifies the humiliation of their heart, and, from humiliation, adoration of the Lord. That "to fall upon their faces and adore," is humiliation of heart, and thence adoration, is evident. Humiliation before the Lord and adoration of Him, is signified by "falling before the throne and adoring God," because by "God" is meant His Divine, which is the Divine from which all things are, and at the same time, His Divine Human, (368); for both together are one God, because they are one Person.
370. "Et ceciderunt coram Throno Super facies Suas, et adoraverunt Deum," significat Humiliationem Cordis eorum, et ex humiliatione Adorationem Domini. - Quod "cadere super facies et adorare" sit humiliatio cordis et inde adoratio, patet; quod humiliatio coram Domino et adoratio Ipsius significetur per "cadere coram Throno et adorare Deum," est quia per "Deum" intelligitur Divinum Ipsius, quod est Divinum a Quo, et simul Divinum Humanum (368); utrumque enim est unus Deus, quia una Persona.
