222# 六、圣言在其荣耀中，由主变像时在祂里面得以代表。
论及主在彼得、雅各和约翰面前变了形像，经上记着说：“就在他们面前变了形像，脸面明亮如日头，衣裳洁白如光”；又有“摩西、以利亚向他们显现，同耶稣说话”；又有“一朵光明的云彩”遮盖他们；且有声音从云彩里出来，说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的，你们要听他！”（太 17:1—5）
我蒙指教，主当时代表圣言。其“脸面”明亮如日头，代表祂神性之爱的神性良善；其“衣裳”洁白如光，代表祂神性智慧的神性真理；“摩西和以利亚”代表历史圣言与先知圣言，其中“摩西”代表藉他所写成的圣言，并在总体上代表历史圣言；“以利亚”则代表一切先知圣言；遮盖门徒的“光明云彩”，代表字义中的圣言。因此，有声音从这云彩中发出，说：“这是我的爱子，……你们要听他。”因为一切从天堂而来的宣告与应答，绝不经由别物而成，惟经由终极而成；这样的终极，正如圣言字义中所有者。盖凡此皆由主在圆满中发出。
222# （6）当主变了形像时，祂代表在其荣耀中的圣言。论到在彼得、雅各和约翰面前变了形像的主，我们读到：
祂的脸明亮如日头，衣裳洁白如光，有摩西、以利亚显现，同祂说话；有一朵光明的云彩遮盖门徒，又有声音从云彩里出来说，这是我的爱子，你们要听祂。（马太福音17:1-5）
我被告知，那时，主代表圣言。祂的“明亮如日头的脸”代表祂的神性之爱的神性良善；祂的“洁白如光的衣裳”代表祂的神性智慧的神性真理；“摩西和以利亚”代表历史和预言的圣言，摩西代表通过他所写的圣言和总体上的历史圣言，以利亚代表整个预言圣言；“遮盖门徒的光明云彩”代表字义上的圣言；因此，就听见有声音从云彩里出来说：“这是我的爱子，你们要听祂。”因为来自天堂的一切宣告或答复只通过诸如在圣言字义中的那种最外层或终端作出；主在完全中作出它们。
222. 6. When the Lord was transfigured, he represented the Word in its glory. Of the Lord's transfiguration before Peter, James, and John, we read that his face shone like the sun; his clothing became like light; Moses and Elijah were seen speaking with him; a shining cloud came over the disciples; and from the cloud a voice was heard saying, "This is my beloved Son. Hear him" (Matthew 17:1-5).
I have been taught that in this instance the Lord represented the Word. His face shining like the sun represented the divine goodness of his divine love. The clothes that became like the light represented the divine truth of his divine wisdom. Moses and Elijah represented the historical Word and the prophetic Word. Moses represented the Word that was written through him, and the historical Word in general. Elijah represented the whole prophetic Word. The shining cloud that covered the disciples represented the Word in its literal meaning. That is why a voice was heard coming from the cloud saying, "This is my beloved Son. Hear him. "
All communications and answers from heaven come solely through outermost things like those in the Word's literal meaning. The Lord communicates in a complete way.
222. (vi) THE WORD IN ITS GLORY WAS REPRESENTED IN THE LORD AT HIS TRANSFIGURATION.
We read about the Lord's transfiguration in the presence of Peter, James and John that His face shone like the sun, His clothes became like light, and Moses and Elijah were seen speaking with Him; a shining cloud overshadowed the disciples, and a voice was heard from the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son, listen to Him (Matthew 17:1-5).
I have been taught that the Lord then represented the Word. His face, which shone like the sun, represented the Divine good of His Divine love; His clothes, which became like light, the Divine truth of His Divine wisdom. Moses and Elijah represented the historical and prophetic sections of the Word; Moses the part of the Word written by his instrumentality and the historical parts as a whole, Elijah the whole of the prophetic part of the Word. The shining cloud which overshadowed the disciples represented the Word in its literal sense; that is why a voice was heard from it saying, 'This is my beloved Son, listen to Him'. For all statements and replies given from heaven are only given through the outermost forms, such as is the literal sense of the Word; they acquire their fulness from the Lord.
222. (6) The Word in its glory was represented in the Lord when He was transfigured. Of the Lord when transfigured before Peter, James, and John we read:
That His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as the light, and that Moses and Elias were seen talking with Him; and that a bright cloud overshadowed the disciples, and a voice was heard from the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son, hear ye Him (Matthew 17:1-5).
I have been told that the Lord then represented the Word His "face" which "shone like the sun," represented the Divine good of His Divine love; His "garments" which "became as the light," represented the Divine truth of His Divine wisdom; "Moses and Elias" the historic and prophetic Word, "Moses" the Word written through him, and in general the historic Word, and "Elias" the whole prophetic Word; the "bright cloud" which "overshadowed the disciples" represented the Word in the sense of the letter; so from it a voice was heard, saying, "This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him," for no announcements or responses are ever made from heaven except through outmosts such as are in the sense of the letter of the Word, for they are made by the Lord in fullness.
222. (6) THE WORD IN ITS GLORY WAS REPRESENTED IN THE LORD, WHEN HE WAS TRANSFIGURED.
Concerning the Lord's Transfiguration before Peter, James and John, it is said:
that "His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment became like light; and there appeared Moses and Elias talking with Him. A bright cloud overshadowed the disciples, and a voice was heard out of the cloud, saying This is my beloved Son... hear ye Him" Matthew 17:1-5.
I have been informed that the Lord on this occasion represented the Word. His face, which shone as the sun, represented the Divine Good of His Divine Love; and His raiment, which became like light, the Divine Truth of His Divine Wisdom. Moses and Elias represented the historical and the prophetical Word; Moses, the Word written by him, and in general the historical Word; and Elias, the whole prophetical Word. The bright cloud, which overshadowed the disciples, represented the Word in the sense of the Letter. Therefore out of this cloud a voice was heard, saying, "This is my beloved Son... hear ye Him," as all declarations and responses from heaven are only made by means of ultimates, such as are in the sense of the Letter of the Word; for they are made in fulness from the Lord.
222. VI. QUOD VERBUM IN SUA GLORIA REPRAESENTATUM SIT IN DOMINO, CUM TRANSFORMATUS EST. De Domino coram Petro, Jacobo et Johanne, transformato legitur, Quod Facies Ipsius fulserit sicut Sol; Vestimenta Ipsius facta sint sicut Lux: et quod visi sint Moses et Elias cum Ipso loquentes: et quod Nubes lucida Discipulos obtexerit: et quod ex Nube audita sit vox, dicens, Hic est Filius meus dilectus, Ipsum audite, Matthaeus 17:1-5. Instructus sum, quod Dominus tunc repraesentaverit Verbum; per Faciem, quae fulsit sicut Sol, repraesentatum est Divinum Bonum Divini Amoris Ipsius; per Vestimenta, quae facta sicut Lux, Divinum Verum Divinae Sapientiae Ipsius; per Mosen et Eliam, Verbum Historicum et Propheticum, per Mosen Verbum quod per illum scriptum est, et in genere Verbum Historicum, et per Eliam omne Verbum Propheticum; per Nubem lucidam, quae obtexit Discipulos, Verbum in Sensu literae; quare ex hac Vox audita est, dicens, Hic est Filius meus dilectus, Ipsum audite: omnia enim Enuntiata et Responsa e Coelo, nusquam fiunt nisi per Ultima, qualia sunt in Sensu literae Verbi; fiunt enim in pleno a Domino.
