134# “就是有撒但宝座之处”表示一切虚假掌权的地方。这从“有宝座之处”和“撒但”的含义清楚可知:“有宝座之处”是指某种东西掌权的地方,因为“宝座”表示国度或主权;“撒但”是指地狱,一切虚假都在那里并从那里而来(对此,参看AE120节)。圣言的许多经文提到“宝座”,它们在灵义上表示来自神性真理的审判,在至高意义上表示主的属灵国度,就是祂的神性真理比祂的神性良善更充分被接受的地方(参看《属天的奥秘》,2129, 5313, 5315, 6397, 8625节)。但此处因在反面意义上提到“宝座”,故将略去通过来自圣言的经文对这一点的说明;下文将说明这一点。
134. Where Satan's throne is. That this signifies where every kind of falsity rules is evident from the signification of where a throne is, as being where anything rules; for by a throne is signified a kingdom; and from the signification of Satan, as being the hells, where and whence all falsities are (concerning which see above, n. 120). Thrones are mentioned in many passages in the Word, and by them, in the spiritual sense, is signified judgment from Divine truths, and, in the highest sense, the spiritual kingdom of the Lord, where the Divine truth of the Lord is received more fully than His Divine good (see Arcana Coelestia 2129, 5313, 5315, 6397, 8625). But as throne is here mentioned in an opposite sense, the consideration of those passages from the Word in confirmation thereof is here omitted; it shall be shown in the following pages.
134. Where Satan's throne is, signifies where all falsities reign. This is evident from the signification of "where the throne is," as being where reigns, for "throne" signifies sovereignty; also from the signification of "Satan," as being the hells where and whence are all falsities (of which above, n. 120. "Thrones" are mentioned in many passages of the Word, and in the spiritual sense they signify judgment from Divine truths, and in the highest sense the Lord's spiritual kingdom, where His Divine truth is received more than His Divine good (See Arcana Coelestia 2129, 5313, 5315, 6397, 8625). But as "throne" is here mentioned in a contrary sense, showing this by passages from the Word will here be omitted. It will be shown in what follows.
134. "Ubi thronus satanae." - Quod significet ubi regnant omnia falsa, constat ex significatione "ubi thronus", quod sit ubi regnat, nam per "thronum" significatur regnum; ex significatione "satanae", quod sint inferna ubi et unde omnia falsa (de qua supra, n. 120). Multis in locis in Verbo memorantur "throni"; et per illos in sensu spirituali significatur Judicium ex Divinis veris, et in supremo sensu regnum spirituale Domini, ubi Divinum Verum plus quam Divinum Bonum Domini recipitur (videatur n. 2129, 5313, 5315, 6397, 8625); sed quia "thronus" nominatur hic in opposito sensu, supersedetur nunc e locis e Verbo id ostendere; ostendetur in sequentibus.
