664# 启11:11.“过了这三天半”表示当完成时,因而表示旧教会的结束和新教会的开始。这从“三天半”的含义清楚可知,“三天半”是指在教会结束时,就是当有新教会的开始时,完全或完整(对此,参看AE 658节)。经上说“过了这三天半”,是因为在圣言中,“天”表示状态,在此表示教会的最后状态。事实上,在圣言中,一切时间,如“时”、“日”、“周”、“月”、“年”、“时代”,表示状态,如在此表示当不再有任何爱之良善或信之真理剩下时,教会的最后状态。由于“日”表示状态,而《创世记》第一章论述了上古教会的建立,它从一个状态到另一个状态依次建立起来,所以在那里,经上说,头一日,第二日,第三日,第四日,第五日,第六日,直到完成时的第七日,有晚上,有早晨(创世记1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31; 2:2);那里的“日”不是指日,而是指那时人重生的相继状态,以及随之而来的教会在他们中间的建立。在圣言的其它地方也是如此。
664. And after three days and a half.- That this signifies when completed, thus the end of the old church, and the beginning of a new church, is evident from the signification of three days and a half, as denoting fulness or completion at the end of the old church, when there is the beginning of a new church, concerning which see above (n. Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31), and the days there do not mean days, but the successive states of the regeneration of men at that time, and the consequent establishment of the church with them. So also elsewhere in the Word.
664. Verse 11. And after the three days and a half, signifies when it is finished, thus the end of the old church and the beginning of the New Church. This is evident from the signification of "the three days and a half," as being fullness and completion as to the end of the old church, when there is the beginning of the New Church (See above, n. Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31; 2:2);
and the "days" there do not mean days, but the successive states of the regeneration of men at that time, and the consequent establishment of the church with them. So also elsewhere in the Word.
664. [Vers. 11.] "Et post tres dies et dimidium." - Quod significet quando completum, ita finis ecclesiae veteris et incohamentum ecclesiae novae, constat ex significatione "dierum trium et dimidii", quod sint plenum seu completum ad finem ecclesiae veteris, quando incohamentum ecclesiae novae (de qua supra, n. 658). Quod dicatur "post dies tres et dimidium", est quia "dies" in Verbo significant status, hic statum ecclesiae ultimum; omnia enim tempora, sicut "horae", "dies", "septimanae", "menses", "anni", "saecula", in Verbo significant status, sicut hic statum ecclesiae ultimum, quando non amplius aliquod bonum amoris et verum fidei superest. Quoniam per "dies" significantur status, et in primo capite Geneseos agitur de instauratione Ecclesiae Antiquissimae, et instauratio fit successive ab uno statu ad alterum, ideo ibi dicitur
Quod "facta sit vespera et mane dies primus", "secundus", "tertius", "quartus", "quintus", "sextus", usque ad "septimum", quando completum (Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31);
et per "dies" ibi non intelliguntur dies, sed successivi status regenerationis hominum tunc, et inde instaurationis ecclesiae apud illos. Ita quoque alibi in Verbo.
