《正信的基督教》 第65节

(周玉阳译,2026年8月)

六、人受造为神性秩序的形式

65# 人受造为神性秩序的形式

人之所以受造为神性秩序的形式,盖因人为上帝的形像与样式而造;上帝自身即是秩序,故人亦为秩序之形像与样式受造。

秩序之生发与持存,依托二端,即是神性之爱与神性智慧;人被造为承接此二者的器皿。是以人依循一套秩序成型,此秩序正是神性之爱与神性智慧运转寰宇的法度,亦是二者于天使天堂之中施行作为的根本准则。完整的天使天堂,便是完备圆满的神性秩序之形式;立于上帝面前,全天堂宛若一位全然完备之人。天堂与人之间存有全然的对应关系:天堂之中任一天使群体,无有不对应人体某一肢体、脏腑与器官者。

是以天堂之内,天使称各类群体居于肝脏辖区、胰脏辖区、脾脏辖区、胃腑辖区,或是眼、耳、舌所对应的辖区,其余人体各部莫不如此;众天使亦自知,自身栖身于人体哪一部分所对应的属天境域。

此中实情,我曾亲身目睹,确凿无虚:我亲见数千天使汇聚而成的群体,整体显化为完整之人的形貌。由是可明,全天堂合而为上帝之形像,而上帝的形像,便是完备无缺的神性秩序之形式。

《真实的基督教》 第65节

(一滴水译,2026年修订)

65# (6)人被创造为神序的形式。人被创造为神序的形式,因为他被创造为神的形像和样式;由于神是秩序本身,所以他被创造为秩序的形像和样式。有两样事物是秩序的源头,并赋予秩序持久性,即神性之爱和神性智慧;人被创造为这两者的容器,因而也被创造为秩序,这两者照着这秩序而在宇宙中运作,尤其照着这秩序而在天使天堂中运作;因此,整个天堂就是最大规模的神序形式,在神眼里就像一个人。此外,天堂与人之间也有一个完全的对应关系;因为在天堂里,没有一个社群不对应于人的某个身体部位,内脏或器官。因此,在天堂,有人会说这个社群在肝脏区域,或在胰腺、脾脏、胃、眼睛、耳朵、舌头区域,等等。天使们自己也知道他们住在人的哪个部位的区域。我被允许通过活生生的经历获知,事实就是如此。我曾看见一个由数千天使组成的社群就像一个人;我由此清楚看出,天堂整体上是神的形像;神的形像是神序的形式。

True Christianity #65 (Rose, 2010)

65. 6. Human beings were created as forms of the divine design. We have been created as forms of the divine design because we have been created as images and likenesses of God, and since God is the design itself, we have therefore been created as images and likenesses of that design.

The divine design originally took shape, and it continues to exist, from two sources: divine love and divine wisdom. We human beings have been created as vessels for these two things. Therefore the design that divine love and wisdom follow in acting upon the universe, and especially upon the angelic heaven, has been built into us.

As a result, heaven in its entirety is a form of the divine design in its largest possible manifestation. In the sight of God, heaven is like one human being. The correspondence between heaven and a human being is in fact complete. There are no communities in heaven that do not answer to some part, some internal or external organ, of the human body. For this reason a given community in heaven is said to be in the province of the liver, the pancreas, the spleen, the stomach, the eye, the ear, or the tongue, and so on. In fact, the angels themselves know which specific area within a given part of the human body they inhabit. I was given an opportunity to learn about this from living experience. I saw a community of several thousand angels together in the form of one human being. From that experience it became clear to me that heaven as a whole is an image of God, and an image of God is a form of the divine design.

65. (vi) MAN WAS CREATED TO BE A FORM FOR DIVINE ORDER.

Man was created to be a form for Divine order, because he was created as an image and likeness of God; so since God is order itself, he was created as an image and likeness of order. The two factors which brought order into existence and preserve it in existence are the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom; and man was created to be a receiver of these. Consequently he was by creation endowed with the order according to which the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom act in the universe, and principally that according to which they act in the heaven of angels, so that this whole heaven is a form of Divine order on the largest scale, and in the sight of God it appears like one man. There is too a full correspondence between that heaven and man. For there is no community in heaven which does not correspond to some member, internal part or organ in the human body. So it is said in heaven that a certain community is in the province of the liver, or the pancreas, or the spleen, or the stomach, or the eye, or the ear, or the tongue, and so on. The angels themselves know under what part of the human body they come. The truth of this I was allowed to know by direct experience. I saw a community composed of some thousands of angels as one person. This showed plainly that heaven taken together is an image of God, and the image of God is a form of the Divine order.

True Christian Religion #65 (Ager, 1970)

65. (6) Man was created a form of Divine order. Man was created a form of Divine order because he was created an image and likeness of God; and as God is order itself, he was created an image and likeness of order. There are two things which are the source of order and which give it permanence, namely, the Divine love and the Divine wisdom; and man was created a receptacle of these, and was therefore created also into the order in accordance with which these two act in the universe, and especially in accordance with which they act in the angelic heaven; consequently that the entire heaven is in its largest effigy a form of Divine order, and is in the sight of God like one man. Moreover, there is a plenary correspondence between that heaven and man; for there is not a society in heaven that does not correspond to some one of the members, viscera, or organs in man; and therefore it is there said that such a society is in the province of the liver, or of the pancreas, or of the spleen, or of the stomach, the eye, the ear, or the tongue, and so on. Furthermore, the angels themselves know in what region of any part of man they dwell. That this is so I have been permitted to learn by living experience. I have seen as a single man a society consisting of some thousands of angels; and thus it was made clear that heaven in its complex is an image of God; and an image of God is a form of Divine order.

True Christian Religion #65 (Dick, 1950)

65. (6) MAN WAS CREATED A FORM OF DIVINE ORDER.

Man was created a form of Divine order because he was created an image and likeness of God; and because God is order itself, he was created an image and likeness of order. Order first originated and has since continued to subsist from these two, Divine Love and Divine Wisdom. As man was created to be a recipient of these, he was also created in the order according to which they operate in the universe, and especially according to which they operate in the angelic heaven, for the whole of heaven is thus a form of Divine order on the largest scale, and is in the sight of God as one man. There is also a complete correspondence between heaven and man; for there is not a single society in heaven which does not correspond to one of the members, viscera, or organs in man. Therefore in heaven it is said that such and such a society is in the province of the liver, the pancreas, the spleen, the stomach, the eye, the ear, the tongue, and so forth. The angels themselves also know what part of the body is represented by the province in which they live. The truth of this I have been able to observe from actual demonstration. I have seen a society of angels, consisting of several thousands, as one man; from which it was evident to me that heaven in the aggregate is an image of God, and that an image of God is a form of Divine order.

Vera Christiana Religio #65 (original Latin,1770)

65. VI. QUOD HOMO CREATUS SIT FORMA DIVINI ORDINIS. Quod homo creatus sit forma Divini Ordinis, est quia creatus est imago et similitudo Dei, et quia Deus est ipse Ordo, creatus est imago et similitudo ordinis. Sunt duo ex quibus Ordo exstitit, et per quae subsistit, Divinus Amor et Divina Sapientia, et homo creatus est receptaculum eorum, quare etiam creatus est in ordinem, secundum quem illa duo agunt in Universo, et principaliter secundum quem agunt in Coelo angelico, inde totum illud Coelum est in maxima effigie forma Divini Ordinis, et Coelum illud in conspectu Dei est sicut unus Homo; et quoque est plenaria correspondentia inter Coelum illud et hominem; non enim datur in Coelo aliqua Societas, quae non correspondet alicui membro, visceri aut organo in homine; quare dicitur in Coelo, quod haec Societas sit vel in provincia Hepatis, vel Pancreatis, vel Lienis, vel Ventriculi, vel Oculi, vel Auris, vel Linguae, et sic porro; ipsi Angeli etiam sciunt in qua ditione alicujus Partis hominis habitant: quod ita sit, ad vivum mihi scire datum est; vidi Societatem ex aliquot millibus Angelorum constantem ut unum hominem; ex quo patuit, quod Coelum in complexu sit imago Dei, et imago Dei est forma Divini Ordinis.
