AC.355, 창4:5, '가인과 그의 제물은 받지 아니하신지라' (AC.355-358)

5절, 가인과 그의 제물은 받지 아니하신지라 가인이 몹시 분하여 안색이 변하니 But to Cain and his offering he looked not; and Cain’s anger was kindled exceedingly, and his faces fell.

 

355

By “Cain,” as has been stated, is signified faith separated from love, or such a doctrine as admits of the possibility of this separation; by his “offering not being looked to” is signified as before that his worship was unacceptable. By “Cain’s anger being kindled exceedingly, and his faces falling” is signified that the interiors were changed. By “anger” is denoted that charity had departed; and by the “faces,” the interiors, which are said to “fall” when they are changed.
