Faith65.(3)那些处于与仁分离之信的人由圣言中的“山羊”来表示,这一点可从但以理书对公绵羊与公山羊之间的战斗的描述来说明。但以理书中的一切事物在灵义上都是论述天堂和教会的事物,跟整部圣经中的一切事物一样,这在《新耶路撒冷教义之圣经篇》(5-26节)已经说明。但以理书中论到公绵羊与公山羊的战斗的话也是如此,这些话基本如下:
在异象中,我看见一只公绵羊,长着两个高角,一角高过另一角。我见那公绵羊用一只角往西、往北、往南抵触,日渐壮大。后来我看见一只公山羊从西而来,遍行整个地面;这山羊两眼当中有一角。它大发烈怒,猛力向公绵羊冲去,折断它的两角,将它触倒在地,践踏它。这山羊的大角折断了,又在角根上长出四个角来。四角之中,有一角长出一个小角,向南、向日出之地、向荣美之地,渐渐成为强大,甚至高及天象,将些天象和星宿抛落在地,践踏它们。这山羊自高自大,以为高及天象之君,除掉他常献的祭,抛下他圣所的住处,因为它把真理抛在地上。我听见有一位圣者说,这常献祭和毁坏的罪,以及践踏圣所和天象的异象,要到几时呢?他说,到傍晚和早晨,那时圣所才成为公义。(但以理书8:2-14)
65. 3. The description of the battle between the ram and the goat in Daniel shows that in the Word, goats mean people who are devoted to a faith divorced from caring. Spiritually understood, everything in Daniel, like everything in Sacred Scripture as a whole (as noted in 8 about the battle between the ram and the goat, as follows:
In a vision I saw a ram that had two tall horns, the taller of which rose up behind [the other]. With its horn the ram pushed westward, northward, and southward and became enormous.
Then I saw a goat that came from the west across the surface of the whole earth; it had a horn between its eyes. It charged at the ram in the fury of its strength, broke the ram’s two horns, and cast the ram to the ground and trampled it. The large horn of the goat was broken, and four horns sprang up in its place. A little horn came out of one of them, which grew tremendously toward the south, toward the dawn, and toward the glory, and even to the host of the heavens, and cast down to earth some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled them. The goat even exalted itself toward the Leader of the Host, and took the daily offerings away from him and cast down the dwelling place of his sanctuary, because it cast truth to the ground. And I heard a holy one saying, “How long will this vision last concerning the daily offerings and this destructive sinning, the trampling of the holy place and the host?” And he said, “Until the evening [and] the morning: then the holy place will be set right.” (Daniel 8:2-14)
65. III. That people whose faith is divorced from charity are meant in the Word by goats is something shown by the description of the combat between the ram and the goat in Daniel. Everything in the book of Daniel describes in the spiritual sense matters having to do with heaven and the church, as is the case throughout the Sacred Scripture, as we showed in . Such is the case also in Daniel 8 where we are told about the combat of the ram and the goat, from which we quote the following:
I saw in the vision…a ram which had two (high) horns; but… the higher one came up last…, and with the horn it struck to the west, to the north, and to the south…, and became great.
And (then I saw) a male goat come from the west, across the surface of the whole earth…, (which) had a…horn between its eyes. Then it ran at the ram…with savage force…and broke its two horns…and cast it to the ground and trampled it…. But…the (goat’s) large horn was broken, and in place of it four horns came up…. And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the beautiful [land]. And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. He even exalted himself to the Prince of the host; and from Him the continual [sacrifice] was taken away, and the habitation of His sanctuary was cast down; because…it cast truth to the ground….
Then I heard a holy one speaking…, "How long will this vision be, the continual sacrifice and the ruinous transgression, so that the sanctuary and the host are given to be trampled on?"
And he said…, "Until evening [and] morning…; then the sanctuary shall be made right." (Daniel 8:2-14)
65. 3. THEY WHO ARE IN FAITH SEPARATED FROM CHARITY, ARE MEANT IN THE WORD BY GOATS. THIS APPEARS FROM THE DESCRIPTION OF THE COMBAT BETWEEN THE RAM AND THE HE-GOAT IN DANIEL.
All things in the Book of Daniel treat in the spiritual sense of the things of heaven and the Church; as do all things in the whole Sacred Scripture, which was shown in Daniel 8:2-14.
65. III. That those in faith separated from charity are meant in the Word by "goats," shown from the description in Daniel of the combat between the ram and the he-goat. In the book of Daniel all things treat, in the spiritual sense, of the things of heaven and the church, as do all things in the universal Holy Scripture (as is shown in the Daniel 8:2-14).
65. (iii.) Quod illi qui in fide separata a charitate sunt, intelligantur in Verbo per "hircos;" ex descriptione pugnae inter arietem et hircum apud Danielem. Omnia quae in Daniele sunt, in spirituali sensu agunt de rebus caeli et ecclesiae, sicut omnia in universa Scriptura Sacra; ut in Doctrina Novae Hierosolymae de illa (5-26) ostensum est: ita quoque illa in Daniele, quae de pugna arietis et hirci ibi (Danielem cap. 8) dicuntur; quae talia sunt:
In visione vidi... arietem, cui duo cornua alta, sed altius ascendens posterius: et quod cornu feriret versus occidentem, septentrionem et meridiem; et magnum se faceret. Dein vidi hircum venientem ab occidente super facies totius terrae, cui esset cornu inter oculos; et quod cucurrerit ad arietem cum furore roboris sui, et fregerit duo cornua ejus, et projecerit eum in terram, et conculcaverit eum; at quod fractum sit cornu magnum hirci, et loco ejus ascenderint quatuor cornua: et quod ex uno eorum exiret cornu exiguum, quod crevit "valde versus meridiem, versus ortum, et versus decus, et usque exercitum caelorum, et dejecit in terram de exercitu, et de stellis, et conculcavit ea: immo extulit se ad Principem exercitus, et ab Eo sublatum est juge, et projectum habitaculum sanctuarii Ejus; quia projecit veritatem in terram. "Et audivi unum sanctum dicentem,... Quo usque visio haec, juge et praevaricatio vastans, ut detur sanctum et exercitus conculcatio? Et dixit, Usque ad vesperam mane;... tunc justificabitur sanctum (cap. 8:2-14),
