299# 在天义中，“妄称上帝之名”，所指即主对法利赛人所说的话：“人一切的罪和亵渎的话，都可得赦免；惟独亵渎圣灵，总不得赦免。”（太12:31，32）所谓“亵渎圣灵”，乃指亵渎主之神性人性，并亵渎圣言的神圣性。至于在天义，或最高义中，“雅威上帝之名”是指主之神性人性，这可由以下经文明见。耶稣说：“父啊，愿你荣耀你的名！当时就有声音从天上来说：我已经荣耀了我的名，还要再荣耀。”（约12:28）“你们奉我的名无论求什么，我必成就，叫父因儿子得荣耀；你们若奉我的名求什么，我必成就。”（约14:13，14）
主祷文中的“愿你的名为圣”（太6:9），在天义中亦无别义；“名”在出23:21、赛63:16中亦然。既然“亵渎圣灵”不得赦免人（照太12:31，32之言），而此事是在天义中被理解，故此诫命后又附加说：“因为妄称他名的人，雅威必不以他为无罪。”
299# 在属天意义上，“妄称神的名”是指主对法利赛人说的话：
人一切的罪和亵渎都可得赦免，惟独亵渎灵必不得赦免。（马太福音12:31，32）
“亵渎灵”是指亵渎主人身的神性和圣言的神圣性。耶和华神的名在属天意义或至高意义上是指主的神性人身，这一点从以下经文明显看出来；约翰福音：
耶稣说，父啊，愿你荣耀你的名。有声音从天上来，说，我已经荣耀了它，还要再荣耀。（约翰福音12:28）
又：
你们奉我的名，无论求什么，我必作成，叫父因儿子得荣耀；你们若奉我的名求什么，我必作成。（约翰福音14:13，14）
在主祷文中，“尊你的名为圣”（马太福音6:9）在属天意义上具有同样的含义。这同样适用于出埃及记（23:21）和以赛亚书（63:16）中的“名”。因为根据马太福音（12:31，32）中的话说，亵渎灵，人不得赦免，还由于这就是这条诫命在属天意义上的意思，所以经上补充说：“因为妄称耶和华名的，耶和华必不以他为无罪。”
299. In the heavenly meaning, taking the Lord's name in vain parallels what the Lord said to the Pharisees:
All sin and blasphemy is forgiven people, but blasphemy of the Spirit is not forgiven. (Matthew 12:31-32)
"Blasphemy of the Spirit" means blasphemy against the divinity of the Lord's human manifestation and against the holiness of the Word.
In the highest or heavenly meaning, the "name of Jehovah God" stands for the Lord's divine-human manifestation, as the following passages make clear:
Jesus said, "Father, glorify your name. " And a voice came out of heaven that said, "I both have glorified it and will glorify it again. " (John 12:27-28)
Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, so that the Father is glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14)
In the heavenly sense the phrase in the Lord's prayer "Your name must be kept holy" [Matthew 6:9] has the same meaning, as does the word name in Exodus 23:21 and Isaiah 63:16.
Since Matthew 12:31 and 32 says that "blasphemy of the Spirit" is not forgiven us, and this is what the heavenly meaning refers to, for this reason the following phrase is added to this commandment: "because Jehovah will not hold guiltless someone who takes his name in vain. "
299. In the celestial sense, taking the name of God in vain means what the Lord said to the Pharisees:
A man shall be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven, Matthew 12:31-32.
Blasphemy against the Spirit means blasphemy against the divinity of the Lord's Human, and the holiness of the Word. It is evident from the following passages that the Lord's Divine Human is meant in the celestial or highest sense by 'the name of Jehovah God':
Jesus said, Father, glorify your name; and a voice came forth from heaven saying, I have glorified it and I will do so again, John 12:28.
Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I shall do it, John 14:13-14.
This too is the meaning in the celestial sense of 'May your name be hallowed' in the Lord's prayer; and likewise of 'name' in Exodus 23:21; Isaiah 63:16. Since blasphemy against the Spirit is not forgiven anyone (as stated in Matthew 12:31-32), and this is the meaning in the celestial sense, the phrase is added to the commandment: 'For Jehovah will not hold anyone guiltless, who takes His name in vain.'
299. In the celestial sense, "to take the name of God in vain" means what the Lord said to the Pharisees:
Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven (Matthew 12:31, 32), "blasphemy of the Spirit" meaning blasphemy against the Divinity of the Lord's Human, and against the holiness of the Word. That the Divine Human of the Lord is meant by the name of Jehovah God in the celestial or highest sense, is evident from the following passages:
Jesus said, Father, glorify Thy name. And there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have glorified it, and will glorify it again (John 12:28).
Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if ye shall ask anything in My name, that I will do (John 14:13, 14).
In the Lord's Prayer, Hallowed be Thy name (Matthew 6:9) has the same meaning in the celestial sense. The same is true of "name" (Exodus 23:21; Isaiah 63:16). As blasphemy of the Spirit is not forgiven unto men (according to the words in Matthew 12:31, 32), and as this is what is meant by this commandment in the celestial sense, it is added, "for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who taketh His name in vain."
299. In the celestial sense, taking the name of God in vain is meant by what the Lord said to the Pharisees:
"All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy of the Spirit (A.V., against the Holy Ghost) shall not be forgiven" Matthew 12:31-32.
Blasphemy of the Spirit means blasphemy against the Divinity of the Lord's Human, and against the holiness of the Word. That the Divine Human of the Lord is meant by the name of Jehovah God in the celestial or highest sense is evident from these passages:
Jesus said, "Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again" John 12:28.
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it" John 14:13-14.
In the Lord's Prayer, in the celestial sense, nothing else is signified by the words,
"Hallowed be thy name;"
likewise by His name in Exodus 23:21; and in Isaiah 63:18. Since blasphemy of the Spirit is not remitted to man, according to the words in Matthew 12:31-32, and since this is the meaning in the celestial sense, therefore there is added to this commandment: "for JEHOVAH will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain."
299. In SENSU COELESTI, per sumere Nomen Dei in vanum, intelligitur id quod Dominus dixit ad Pharisaeos, Omne peccatum 1 et blasphemia remittetur homini, spiritus vero blasphemia non remittetur, Matthaeus 12:31-32; 2 per Spiritus blasphemiam intelligitur blasphemia contra Divinitatem Humani Domini, et contra Sanctitatem Verbi. Quod Divinum Humanum Domini per Nomen Jehovae Dei in Coelesti seu supremo Sensu intelligatur, constat ex his, Jesus dixit, PATER GLORIFICA NOMEN TUUM, et exivit vox e Coelo, dicens, et glorificavi et rursus glorificabo, Johannes 12:28. Quodcunque petieritis in Nomine meo, hoc faciam, ut Pater glorificetur in Filio; si quid petieritis in Nomine meo, hoc faciam, Johannes 14:13-14. In Oratione Dominica per Sanctificetur Nomen tuum [Matthaeus 6:9], in Coelesti sensu nec aliud significatur; pariter per Nomen, Exodus 23:21; Esaias 63:16. Quoniam blasphemia Spiritus non remittitur homini secundum verba, Matthaeus 12:31-32, et hoc in Sensu coelesti intelligitur, ideo huic Praecepto adjicitur, Quia non insontem habebit Jehovah illum, qui sumserit Nomen Ipsius in vanum.
