272# 藉大量经验，我得以知道：人凭圣言与天堂有交通。当我诵读圣言，自以赛亚书第一章直至玛拉基书末章，并诵读大卫诗篇，且使思想持守于其中的灵义时，我被赐予清楚感知：每一节皆与天堂某一群体相交通；如此，整部圣言便与整个天堂相交通。由此显明：正如主是圣言，天堂亦是圣言；因为天堂之所以为天堂，乃由于主；而主藉圣言，乃是天堂中一切之中的一切。
272# 我被允许通过大量经历得知，人通过圣言与天堂相通。当我阅读圣言，从以赛亚书第一章读到玛拉基书最后一章，以及大卫诗篇，并将我的思维专注于灵义时，我得到一种清晰的感知，即：每一节经文都与天堂的某个社群相通，因而整部圣言与整个天堂相通。这清楚表明，正如主就是圣言，天堂也是圣言，因为天堂从主那里而为天堂，主通过圣言是天堂全部中的全部。
272. An abundance of experience has taught me that human beings have a communication with heaven through the Word. When I read the Word through from the first chapter in Isaiah to the last chapter in Malachi and the Psalms of David, and I kept thinking about their spiritual meaning, I was given a clear perception that every verse communicates with some community in heaven, and therefore the whole Word communicates with the entirety of heaven. This made it clear to me that as the Lord is the Word, heaven is also the Word, since heaven is heaven from the Lord, and by means of the Word the Lord is everything to all heaven.
272. By repeated experience I have been granted the knowledge that the Word is for man a means of communication with heaven. When I read through the Word, from the first chapter of Isaiah to the end of Malachi, and also the Psalms of David, keeping my thoughts fixed on the spiritual sense, I was granted a clear perception that each verse communicated with some community in heaven, and that thus the whole Word communicated with heaven as a whole. From this fact it became clear that just as the Word is the Lord, so too the Word is heaven, since heaven's being heaven comes from the Lord, and the Lord by means of the Word is the all in all of heaven.
272. I have been permitted to learn through much experience, that man has communication with heaven through the Word. While reading the Word from the first chapter of Isaiah to the last of Malachi, and also the Psalms of David, and keeping my thought fixed upon the spiritual sense, a clear perception was given me that each verse communicated with some society of heaven, and thus the whole Word with the entire heaven; which showed clearly, that as the Lord is the Word, heaven is also the Word, since heaven is heaven from the Lord, and the Lord through the Word is the all in all things of heaven.

272. Per multam experientiam mihi scire datum est, quod per Verbum sit homini communicatio cum Coelo: dum perlegi Verbum a Primo Capite Esajae usque ad Ultimum Malachiae, et Psalmos Davidis, et tenui cogitationem in Sensu spirituali illorum, datum est clare percipere, quod unusquisque Versus communicaret cum aliqua Societate Coeli, et quod sic totum Verbum cum Universo Coelo: ex quo patuit, quod sicut Dominus est Verbum, etiam Coelum sit Verbum, quoniam Coelum est Coelum a Domino, et Dominus per Verbum est omne in omnibus Coeli.
