REASONS WHY THE LITERAL SENSE OF THE WORD OF GOD MUST SYMBOLIZE A HIGHER SENSE. "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." (John vi. 63.) We are now commencing a course of lectures upon the symbolic character of the Sacred Scriptures, or of the Divine Language. But, are we truly sensible of what we are undertaking? Are we, indeed, conscious that the language we purpose to explain is infinite, that God's words must contain infinite ideas, and that, to fully comprehend them, would require the wisdom of the great Jehovah--a capacity so far beyond the reach of men or angels? All this we fully believe. And we also believe, that we can learn to appreciate the meaning and force of God's language, only in degrees according to our states; and that we can do this properly, only as we become acquainted with God's nature and character. For if we would enter into the real life and spirit or any book, we must know the qualities and character of the author; for the real author lives in his words and his works. And, as from the language of men, we are introduced to a knowledge of their minds; so, from the language of God, we may become somewhat acquainted with the will and wisdom of our heavenly Father. For God lives in his language. The words which He speaks, "They are spirit and they are life." And that spirit and life are God Himself in His wisdom and love. But what is the divine language? In its broadest sense it is everything that manifests the Lord's qualities. He is the author of everything; he lives in everything, and speaks in everything, either directly or indirectly. But His speech is understood according to the state and ability of the reader. Some see it in the light of divine wisdom, and understand it...

Download or read book Scripture Symbolism written by Rev. Edward Craig Mitchell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. All Christian Churches have the literal Bible; but they differ as to its meaning, and especially as to its figurative sense. The purpose of this book is to help the sincere inquirer to open the seals of the literal Bible, and to recognize its inward spirit; and thus to present a new language to those needy ones who have ears to hear "what the Spirit saith unto the churches." The system of doctrine herein explained is that made known to the world through Emanuel Swedenborg. There is a "Dictionary of Correspondences, etc," compiled from the theological writings of Swedenborg; but it is adapted to the use of advanced students. And the undersigned and others have felt the need of a practical elementary work, as an introduction to the great Science of Correspondences; a hand-book, with which the student may acquire a rational and systematic idea of the philosophy, and of the leading facts, of correspondences, representatives and signs, which knowledge he may use in gaining a better understanding of the Divine Word. It is not meant that this book will be sufficient to open, to any student, all the spiritual meaning of all parts of the Sacred Scriptures. Such an understanding can come to him, only, whose mind is prepared for such insight, not only by a knowledge of the Science of Correspondences, but also by an interior mental state in which a perception of spiritual truth can be enjoyed. The bxest-informed scholars do not depend upon their scholarship, alone, to receive the spiritual sense of the Divine Word; for they know that every man sees and hears on the level of his intelligence. "No words, whate'er their meaning, more can tell Than what the hearer's wisdom understands." But each man can hear, if he will, all phases of truth which he would now be willing to use, in his practical daily life. The Science of Correspondences is like an outfit of mechanical tools, very useful to those who can handle the tools properly. The Scripture-texts herein quoted and explained have been selected to emphasize the three great essentials of the Christian religion; 1, the Divine character of our Lord, Jesus Christ; 2, the Divine character of the genuine books of the Bible, as the Word of God; and 3, the necessity of living all our daily life in accordance with the Divine commandments, in both their literal and spiritual meanings. It is thought best, especially for the use of novitiate students of Scripture Symbolism, to present not merely the correspondential meanings of various objects, activities and conditions, but also many fundamental principles and facts regarding the various subjects considered. It might be interesting to include many more subjects, or to enter further into details; but it seems best to keep the book within moderate bulk.
