Толкование на группу стихов: Иез: undefined: 10-10

Четыре животные, носящие колесницу, представляли собою образ владычественных сил разумной души. Как орел царствует над птицами, лев – над дикими зверями, вол – над кроткими животными, а человек – над всеми тварями: так и в разумной душе есть более царственные силы, то есть, воля, совесть, ум и сила любви. Ими управляется душевная колесница, в них почивает Бог. А по иному способу объяснения, разумеется сие о небесной Церкви Святых.

THE FOUR CREATURES IN CREATION AND HUMAN PERSONALITY. PSEUDO-MACARIUS: The four animals that bore the chariot were a type of the leading characteristics of the soul. For as the eagle rules over all the other birds and the lion is king of the wild beasts and the bull over the tamed animals and humanity rules over all creatures, so the soul has certain dominant powers that are superior to others. I am speaking of the faculties of the will: conscience, the mind and the power of loving. For it is through such that the chariot of the soul is directed, and it is in these that God resides. In some other fashion also such a symbolism can be applied to the heavenly church of the saints. In this text of Ezekiel’s vision it is said that the animals were exceedingly tall, full of eyes. It was impossible for anyone to comprehend the number of eyes or grasp their height since the knowledge of such was not given. And in a similar manner the stars in the sky are given for people to gaze on and be filled with awe, but to know their number is given to no one. So in regard to the saints in the heavenly church it is permitted to all who only enter into it and enjoy it as they strive to live in it. But to know and comprehend the number of the saints is given only to God. FIFTY SPIRITUAL HOMILIES 1.3.
