※ 주7. 말씀에서 ‘별’은 선과 진리에 관한 지식을 상징합니다. In the Word “stars” signify knowledges of good and truth (n. 2495, 2849, 4697).

창22:17, AC.2845-2851

내가 네게 큰 복을 주고 네 씨가 크게 번성하여 하늘의 별과 같고 바닷가의 모래와 같게 하리니 네 씨가 그 대적의 성문을 차지하리라 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall inherit the gate of thine enemies.

하늘의 별과 같고 As the stars of the heavens.

That this signifies the multitude of the knowledges of good and truth is evident from the signification of the “stars” as being the knowledges of good and truth (see n. 1808, 2495). The spiritual are they who in the Word are in various places compared to the stars, and this owing to the knowledges of good and truth which they have; but the celestial are not so compared, because they have not knowledges but perceptions; moreover the stars illumine the night, and the spiritual have a light of night (as from the moon and stars) in comparison with the light of day in which the celestial are. (That the spiritual have comparative obscurity may be seen above, 1043, 2708 at the beginning, 2715.)

※ 주6. 말씀에서 ‘달’은 신앙 관점에서 본 주님을 상징하며, 그 결과, 주심 신앙을 상징합니다. In the Word the “moon” signifies the Lord in respect to faith, and in consequence faith in the Lord (n. 1529, 1530, 2495, 4060, 4696, 7083).

It is perfectly well known in heaven, but not so well in the world of spirits, whence comes the light that is so great, namely, from the Lord; and it is a remarkable fact that the Lord appears in the third heaven to the celestial angels as a sun, and to the spiritual angels as a moon. The very origin of the light is this and this alone. But the angels have light in proportion to what is celestial and spiritual with them, and the quality of this determines the quality of their light. Thus the Lord’s celestial and spiritual manifests itself before their external sight by means of light.

That this is so the Word has shown to all; as when the Lord was made manifest to Peter, James, and John; for his face then shone as the sun, and his garments became as the light (Matt. 17:2).

그들 앞에서 변형되사 그 얼굴이 해 같이 빛나며 옷이 빛과 같이 희어졌더라 (마17:2)

He so appeared to them simply because their interior sight was opened. The same is confirmed also in the prophets; as in Isaiah, where the Lord’s kingdom in the heavens is treated of:

여호와께서 자기 백성의 상처를 싸매시며 그들의 맞은 자리를 고치시는 날에는 달빛은 햇빛 같겠고 햇빛은 일곱 배가 되어 일곱 날의 빛과 같으리라 (사30:26) The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days (Isa. 30:26).

And in John, where also the Lord’s kingdom, which is called the new Jerusalem, is spoken of:

그 성은 해나 달의 비침이 쓸 데 없으니 이는 하나님의 영광이 비치고 어린 양이 그 등불이 되심이라 (계21:23) The city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God doth lighten it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof (Rev. 21:23).

다시 밤이 없겠고 등불과 햇빛이 쓸 데 없으니 이는 주 하나님이 그들에게 비치심이라 그들이 세세토록 왕 노릇 하리로다 (계22:5) There shall be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp, neither light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them light (Rev. 22:5).

Besides that when the Lord appeared to Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders,

이스라엘의 하나님을 보니 그의 발 아래에는 청옥을 편 듯하고 하늘 같이 청명하더라 (출24:10) they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet was as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as it were the substance of heaven in clearness (Exod. 24:10).

As the Lord’s celestial and spiritual appear before the external sight of the angels as a sun and a moon, therefore “the sun” in the Word signifies what is celestial, and “the moon” what is spiritual.

※ 주5. 말씀에서 ‘해’는 사랑 관점에서 본 주님을 상징하며, 결과적으로는 주님 사랑을 상징합니다. In the Word the “sun” signifies the Lord in respect to love, and in consequence love to the Lord (n. 1529, 1837, 2441, 2495, 4060, 4696, 7083, 10809).

They then asked how the Lord appears with the angels from our earth. I said that he appears in the sun as a man, encompassed there with solar fire, from which the angels in the heavens have all their light; and that the heat which proceeds from it is Divine good, and that the light which is from it is Divine truth, both from the Divine love, which is the fiery appearance round the Lord in that sun; but that that sun is seen only by the angels in heaven, and not by the spirits who are beneath, because these are more remote from the reception of the good of love and the truth of faith than are the angels who are in the heavens. But as regards the sun of the world, it is seen by no one in the other life, yet it appears in their idea as something that is black and not visible, from its being opposite to the sun of heaven, which is the Lord. The reason why it was given them to inquire about the Lord and about his appearance before the angels from our earth, was that it then pleased the Lord to present himself as present with them, and to reduce into order the things that had been disturbed by the evil ones there about which they had complained. It was in order that I might see these things that I had been brought there.
