352# “羔羊揭开七印中第一印的时候”表示从主那里第一次显现。这从“揭开印”的含义清楚可知,“揭开印”是指揭示写在里面的隐藏事物,因为当一个封印被揭开时,里面的东西就被读出来,此处所读的,是没有人知道,唯独主除外的隐藏事物,因为它们是所有人的状态,无论总体还是细节。没有人知道这些状态,唯独主除外,这一点从前面(AE 199, 222a, 299, 327节)关于这本书卷和揭开其印的解释明显看出来。由此清楚可知,“羔羊揭开七印中第一印的时候”表示从主那里第一次显现。
352. When the Lamb had opened the first of the seals. That this signifies the first manifestation from the Lord, is clear from the signification of opening a seal, as denoting to reveal the things, that are written within; for when a seal is opened those things are read that are therein; in the present case things hidden, which no one could know but the Lord alone, for they are the states of all in general and in particular. That no one knows these but the Lord alone, is clear from what was explained above concerning the book and the opening of its seals (n. 199, 222, 299, 327). Hence it is evident that by, "when the Lamb had opened the first of the seals," is signified the first manifestation from the Lord.

352. "Cum aperuisset Agnus primum ex sigillis." Quod significet primam a Domino manifestationem, constat ex significatione "aperire sigillum", quod sit revelare abscondita quae intus scripta sunt; nam cum aperitur sigillum, leguntur quae inibi: hic abscondita quae nemo scire potuit quam solus Dominus, sunt enim status omnium in communi et in particulari. Quod nemo illos sciat quam solus Dominus, constat ex illis quae de libro illo et de aperitione sigillorum ejus supra (n. 199, 222(a), 299, 327) explicata sunt: inde patet quod per "cum aperuisset Agnus primum ex sigillis", significetur prima a Domino manifestatio.
