325# 让我们思考一个深刻的真理：宇宙的一切事物都以映像形式指向人。这就是为什么圣言用伊甸园来描述亚当的智慧和聪明。在这个园中，我们看到各类树木、河流、宝石和黄金，还有亚当为之命名的动物。这些元素并非随意安排，而是象征性地表达了亚当内在的属灵品质，共同构成了完整的人性。
这一原理在圣言的其它部分也得到印证。《以西结书》中论到亚述的记载（31:3-9）呈现了类似的意象，其中亚述象征教会的聪明品质。同样，在论到推罗的经文中（28:12-13），推罗则象征教会对良善和真理的认知。
325、由于宇宙万物都与一个人的形像有关，所以亚当的智慧和聪明被描述为伊甸园，其中有各样的树木，还有河流、宝石、黄金，以及由亚当取名的各种动物。这一切事物都表示诸如在亚当里面，并构成那被称为人的存在之物或品质。论及亚述的事物(以西结书31:3-9)几乎一样；亚述象征性地表示教会的聪明；论及推罗的事物(以西结书28:12, 13)也一样，推罗象征性地表示教会对良善和真理的概念。
325. Since there is a human image to everything in the universe, Adam's wisdom and intelligence are described by the garden of Eden, where there were trees of every kind, as well as rivers, precious stones, and gold, along with the animals that he named. All of these meant things that were within him and that made him what we call "human."
Quite similar things are said of Assyria in Ezekiel 31:3-9, meaning the church as far as its intelligence is concerned, and about Tyre in Ezekiel 28:12, 23 [13], meaning the church in regard to its firsthand knowledge of what is good and true.
325. Since all constituents of the universe resemble in an image the human being, Adam is described in respect to his wisdom and intelligence by the garden of Eden, which had in it trees of every kind, and also rivers, precious stones and gold, and moreover animals, to which Adam gave names. By all of these things are meant the qualities which he had in him and which constituted the being that we call man.
Assyria is described in very similar terms in Ezekiel 31:3-9, by which is symbolically meant the church in respect to its intelligence. So, too, Tyre in Ezekiel 28:12-13, by which is symbolically meant the church in respect to its concepts of goodness and truth.
325. Since all things of the universe have relation in an image to man, Adam as to wisdom and intelligence is described by the "garden of Eden" wherein were all kinds of trees, also rivers, precious stones and gold, as well as animals to which he gave names. By all these are understood such things as were in Adam, constituting that which is called man. Almost the same things are said of Ashur (in Ezek 31:3-9) by whom the Church as to intelligence is signified, and of Tyre (Ezek 28:12-13) by which the Church as to cognitions of good and truth is signified.

325. Quoniam omnia universi in imagine referunt hominem, Adamus quoad sapientiam ac intelligentiam describitur per Hortum Edenis, in quo arbores omnis generis, et quoque fluvii, lapis pretiosus et aurum, tum animalia, quibus dedit nomina, per quae omnia intelliguntur talia quae apud illum erant, et faciebant id quod vocatur homo. Paene similia dicuntur de Aschure apud Ezechielem 1 Cap. Ezechiel 31:3-9, per quem significatur Ecclesia 2 quoad intelligentiam: et de Tyro, Ezech. 28:12-13, 3 per quam significatur Ecclesia 4 quoad cognitiones boni et veri.
