290、本书第二部分论述了灵界太阳，那里证实了以下观点：神性之爱和神性智慧在灵界显为一轮太阳(83-88节)。属灵之热和光从这太阳发出(89-92节)。这太阳不是神，而是神-人的神性之爱和神性智慧的一种发出；这太阳的热和光也是如此(93-98节)。灵界太阳处于中等高度，距离天使如同自然界的太阳距离世人那样遥远(103-107节)。在灵界，东方是主显为太阳的地方，以此确定其它方位(119-123, 125-128节)。天使始终面向显为太阳的主(129-134, 135-139节)。主通过太阳，也就是神性之爱和神性智慧的最先发出创造了宇宙及其万物(151-156节)。自然界的太阳纯粹是火，起源于这太阳的自然界因此也是死的；自然界的太阳被造是为了完成和结束创世之工(157-162节)。没有一活一死这两个太阳，创造是不可能的(163-166节)。
290. The Lord from eternity, or Jehovah, brought forth the sun of the spiritual world out of himself, and created the universe and all its contents from it. Part 2 of the present work dealt with the sun of the spiritual world, and the following points were made there. In the spiritual world, divine love and wisdom look like a sun (83-88). Spiritual warmth and spiritual light emanate from that sun (89-92). That sun is not God. Rather, it is an emanation from the divine love and wisdom of the Divine-Human One. The same is true of warmth and light from that sun (93-98). The sun of the spiritual world is seen at a middle elevation, as far from angels as the physical world's sun is from us (103-107). The east in the spiritual world is where the Lord is seen as the sun, and the other directions follow from that (119-124 [119-123], 125-128 [124-128]). Angels always face the Lord as the sun (129-134, 135-139). The Lord created the universe and everything in it by means of that sun that is the first emanation of divine love and wisdom (151-156). The physical world's sun is nothing but fire and is therefore dead; and since nature has its origin in that sun, it is dead. Further, the physical world's sun was created so that the work of creation could be finished off and completed (157-162). There would be no creation if it were not for this pair of suns, one living and one dead (163-166).
290. The Lord from eternity, or Jehovah, produced from Himself the sun of the spiritual world, and out of it created the universe and all of its constituents. We discussed the sun of the spiritual world in Part Two of this work, and in it we showed the following:
That Divine love and wisdom appear in the spiritual world as the sun (nos. 83-88). That from that sun emanate spiritual heat and light (nos. 89-92). That that sun is not God, but that it is an emanation of the Divine love and wisdom of the human God; so, too, the heat and light from that sun (nos. 93-98). That the sun in the spiritual world is at a middle height and appears as distant from the angels as the sun in the natural world does from people (nos. 103-107). That in the spiritual world, the east is where the Lord appears as the sun, and the other points of the compass are determined in relation to it (nos. 119-128). That angels turn their faces continually to the Lord as the sun (nos. 129-139). That the Lord created the universe and everything in it by means of that sun, which is the first emanation of His Divine love and wisdom (nos. 151-156). That the sun in the natural world is nothing but fire, and that nature, which takes its origin from that sun, is consequently lifeless; moreover, that the sun in the natural world was created in order that the work of creation might be completed and concluded (nos. 157-162). That without the two suns, one alive and the other lifeless, creation would not exist (nos. 163-166).
290. THE LORD FROM ETERNITY, THAT IS, JEHOVAH, PRODUCED FROM HIMSELF THE SUN OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, AND FROM THAT, CREATED THE UNIVERSE, AND ALL THINGS THEREOF
The Sun of the spiritual world was treated of in Part II of this work, and the following facts were there set forth:
The Divine Love and Wisdom appear in the spiritual world as a Sun, (83-88).
Spiritual heat and light go forth from that Sun. (89-92).
That Sun is not God, but it is a going forth from the Divine Love and Wisdom of God-Man; it is the same with the heat and light from that Sun (93-98).
The Sun of the spiritual world is in the middle altitude, and appears distant from the angels as the sun of the natural world from men (103-107).
In the spiritual world the east is where the Lord appears as a Sun, and the remaining quarters are thence determined (119-123, 124-128).
Angels turn their faces continually to the Lord as a Sun (129-134, 135-139).
The Lord created the universe and everything therein by means of the Sun which is the first proceeding of the Divine Love and Wisdom (151-156).
The sun of the natural world is pure fire, and nature which derives its origin from that sun, is consequently dead; and the sun of the natural world was created in order that the work of creation might be completed and finished (157-162).
Without two suns, the one living and the other dead, creation is not possible (163-166).
290. THE LORD FROM ETERNITY, THAT IS, JEHOVAH, BROUGHT FORTH FROM HIMSELF THE SUN OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, AND FROM THAT CREATED THE UNIVERSE AND ALL THINGS THEREOF.
The sun of the spiritual world was treated of in Part Second of this work, and the following propositions were there established:-Divine Love and Divine Wisdom appear in the spiritual world as a sun (n. 83-88). Spiritual heat and spiritual light go forth from that sun (n. 89-92). That sun is not God, but is a Proceeding from the Divine Love and Divine Wisdom of God-Man; so also are the heat and light from that sun (n. 93-98). The sun of the spiritual world is at a middle altitude, and appears far off from the angels like the sun of the natural world from men (n. 103-107). In the spiritual world the east is where the Lord appears as a sun, and from that the other quarters are determined (n. 119-123, 125-128). Angels turn their faces constantly to the Lord as a sun (n. 129-134, 135-139). The Lord created the universe and all things thereof by means of the sun, which is the first proceeding of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom (n. 151-156). The sun of the natural world is mere fire, and nature, which derives its origin from that sun, is consequently dead; and the sun of the natural world was created in order that the work of creation might completed and finished (n. 157-162). Without a double sun, one living and the other dead, no creation is possible (n. 163-166).
290. QUOD DOMINUS AB AETERNO SEU JEHOVAH EX SEIPSO PRODUXERIT SOLEM MUNDI SPIRITUALIS, ET EX ILLO CREAVERIT UNIVERSUM ET OMNIA EJUS. De Sole Mundi Spiritualis in Parte Secunda hujus Operis actum est, et ibi sequentia ostensa sunt; Quod Divinus Amor et Divina Sapientia appareant in Mundo spirituali ut Sol, 83-88. Quod ex Sole illo procedat calor spiritualis et lux spiritualis, 89-92. Quod Sol ille non sit Deus, sed quod sit Procedens ex Divino 1 Amore et Divina Sapientia Dei Hominis, similiter Calor et Lux ex illo Sole, 93-98. Quod Sol Mundi spiritualis in media altitudine sit, et appareat distans ab Angelis sicut Sol Mundi naturalis ab hominibus, 103-107. Quod in Mundo spirituali Oriens sit ubi Dominus ut Sol apparet, et quod reliquae plagae inde sint, 119-123, 2 124 3 ad 128. Quod Angeli faciem suam jugiter vertant ad Dominum ut Solem, 129-139. Quod Dominus Universum et omnia ejus medio Sole illo, qui est primum procedens Divini Amoris et Divinae Sapientiae, creaverit, 151-156. Quod Sol Mundi naturalis sit purus ignis, et quod natura quae ex illo Sole ducit originem, inde sit mortua: et quod Sol mundi naturalis creatus sit, ut opus creationis possit absolvi et finiri, 4 157-162. Quod absque bino Sole, uno vivo et altero mortuo, non detur creatio, 163-166.
