AC.479, 창5:2, '남자와 여자를 창조하셨고' (AC.475-480)

2절, 남자와 여자를 창조하셨고 그들이 창조되던 날에 하나님이 그들에게 복을 주시고 그들의 이름을 사람이라 일컬으셨더라 Male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name man, in the day when they were created.

By “calling a name,” or “calling by name,” is signified in the Word to know the quality of things, as was shown above, and in the present case it has relation to the quality of the most ancient church, denoting that man was taken from the ground, or regenerated by the Lord, for the word “Adam” means “ground”; and that afterwards when he was made celestial he became most eminently “man,” by virtue of faith originating in love to the Lord.
