 In the Bible, a cloud is used primarily as a powerful symbol of God’s physical presence, glory, guidance, and divine mystery. [1]

Key Ways Clouds Are Used
  • God's Presence (The Shekinah Glory): Clouds hide the blinding brilliance of God so humans can experience Him without dying. A thick cloud covered Mount Sinai when God gave Moses the law (Exodus 19:9), and a cloud filled the Tabernacle (Exodus 40:34) and Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 8:10) to show God had moved in. [1]
  • Guidance and Protection: During the Exodus, God led the Israelites through the wilderness by day using a pillar of cloud (and a pillar of fire by night) to guide their path and shield them from enemies (Exodus 13:21). [1]
  • Christ's Life and Return: A bright cloud overshadowed Jesus at the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:5), a cloud took Him out of sight during His ascension (Acts 1:9), and prophecy states He will return "with the clouds" (Revelation 1:7). [1, 2, 3]
  • Human Frailty: Scripture occasionally uses passing clouds as a metaphor for how short and temporary human life is (Job 7:9). [1]

「たすけ参らせんとは存じ候へども、御方(みかた)の軍兵(ぐんぴやう)雲霞(うんか)のごとく候。よものがれさせ給はじ。

《希伯來書》12章1節:
『我們既有這許多的見證人,如同雲彩圍繞著我們,…』


Hebrews 12:1 compares the Christian life to an endurance race, urging believers to strip away distractions and sin while looking to the faithful examples of those who went before. [1, 2]
Scripture Text
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (NKJV). [1]
Core Meaning
  • The Cloud of Witnesses: Refers to the faithful figures from Hebrews 11 (such as Abel, Enoch, Abraham, and Moses) whose testimonies cheer us on like a stadium crowd. [1, 2, 3]
平敦盛
武將
平敦盛(《源平合戰圖屏風》)
國家日本

平敦盛(日語:平 敦盛たいら の あつもり羅馬化:Taira no Atsumori,1169年—1184年3月20日)是平安時代末期的武士平經盛的末子。位階是從五位下,無官職名,故又稱無官大夫

生平

平敦盛同其祖父忠盛、父親經盛一樣,都是吹笛的名手。敦盛的祖父平忠盛曾獲鳥羽院賞賜一支名叫「小枝」的笛子(又作「青葉」),後來傳給了父親經盛;經盛見敦盛是吹名手,又傳給了他。

平敦盛在15歲的時候參與一之谷之戰平家受到源氏的攻擊而撤退,敦盛騎馬向海上的船逃去。源氏的武將熊谷直實見他逃跑,向他高呼逃跑的武士是可恥的,要他立刻回到戰場,於是敦盛就回來了。敦盛同熊谷直實交鋒,被熊谷擊落馬下。當熊谷直實掀開敦盛的鎧甲時,發現敦盛無論年齡還是相貌都很像自己的兒子直家,因此猶豫是否要釋放敦盛。但敦盛卻認為被如此英勇的敵人殺死是光榮的,要求將自己殺死,因此直實只得將敦盛的首級砍下。經由源氏方面的主將檢視其首級而確認了其真實身份。

敦盛死後,熊谷直實將敦盛的笛子送往屋島,交給敦盛的父親平經盛。後來熊谷直實因感嘆其年輕生命的驟逝而突然出家。

平家物語》記載了敦盛之死。後世日本人根據《平家物語》所記載的場面,創作了名叫《敦盛》的能劇幸若舞謠曲,以及歌舞伎一谷嫩軍記》等作品。其中,最廣為人知的就是名叫《敦盛》的幸若舞。這個幸若舞頗為戰國時代織田信長所喜好,織田信長在桶狹間之戰時,曾經吟誦該曲中的一節:

人生五十年,與下天長久相較,如夢又似幻。一度得生者,豈有不滅者乎?[1]

這也是所有有關平敦盛的文學作品中最為出名的一句。

平敦盛與熊谷直實決戰的場面也成了歌舞伎作品,名為《一谷嫩軍記》。

平敦盛的首級葬在高野山奧之院的須磨寺(首塚),屍身則葬在須磨浦公園(胴塚)。

註釋

  1.  原文「人間五十年、下天の內を較ぶれば、夢幻の如く也。一度生を受け、滅せぬ者の有る可き乎?」一般於日本戰國時代,能活到五十歲,已算長壽。至於下天是指最下層的天、最外圍的天,也就是四天王天。在佛教俱舍論》中提到「人間五十年,下天一晝夜。」人間的五十年等於四天王天的一晝夜,因此由四天王天看人間事,如夢似幻。

Nancy Kissinger was a powerhouse of ideas and insights that she put to work throughout her life in government and philanthropy - and as Henry’s most valued and trusted advisor. She was the ultimate diplomat - as wise as she was discreet - and I know how completely Henry admired and loved her. Diana and I were fortunate to call her a dear friend, and to see their extraordinary partnership in action over the decades. We will miss her greatly.

Faubourg (pronounced: [fo.buːʁ]) is an ancient French term approximating "suburb" (now generally termed banlieue). The earliest form is Forsbourg, derived from Latin foris, 'out of', and Vulgar Latin (originally Germanic) burgum, 'town' or 'fortress'. Traditionally, this name was given to an agglomeration forming around a throughway leading outwards from a city gate, and usually took the name of the same thoroughfare within the city. As cities were often located atop hills (for defensive purposes), their outlying communities were frequently lower down. Many faubourgs were located below their towns, and the term "suburbs" is derived from this tendency (sub = below; urbs urbis = city).
Faubourgs are often considered the predecessor of European suburbs, into which they evolved generally in the 1950s and 1960s. Although early suburbs still conserved some characteristics related to faubourgs (such as the back alleys with doors, little break margins for houses, etc.), later suburbs underwent major changes in their construction, primarily in terms of residential density.
Beside many French cities, the places faubourgs can still be found outside Europe include the province of Quebec in Canada and the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. The cities of Quebec and Montreal contain examples, although Montreal has far greater divergences in terms of "banlieue," which lead to similarities of many Ontarian and American suburbs.
