Dániel 10

Проучване

   

1 Czírusnak, Persia királyának harmadik esztendejében egy ige jelenteték Dánielnek, a ki Baltazárnak nevezteték; igaz az ige és nagy bajról való; és figyele az igére és megérté a látomást.

2 Azokon a napokon én, Dániel, bánkódtam három egész hétig.

3 Kívánatos étket nem ettem, hús és bor nem ment az én számba, és soha sem kentem meg magamat, míg el nem telék az egész három hét.

4 És az elsõ hónapnak huszonnegyedik napján, ímé én a nagy folyóvíznek, azaz a Hiddekelnek partján valék.

5 És felemelém szemeimet, és látám, és ímé: egy férfiú, gyolcsba öltözve, és dereka ufázi aranynyal övezve.

6 És teste olyan mint a társiskõ, és orczája olyan mint a villám, és szemei olyanok mint az égõ szövétnekek, karjai és lábatája mint az izzó ércznek színe, és az õ beszédének szava olyan, mint a sokaság zúgása.

7 És egyedül én, Dániel láttam e látomást, a férfiak pedig, a kik velem valának, nem látták a látomást; hanem nagy rettenés szálla reájok, és elfutának, hogy elrejtõzzenek.

8 És én egyedül hagyattam, és látám ezt a nagy látomást, és semmi erõ sem marada bennem, és orczám eltorzula, és oda lõn minden erõm.

9 És hallám az õ beszédének szavát; és mikor hallám az õ beszédének szavát, én ájultan orczámra esém, és pedig orczámmal a földre.

10 És ímé, egy kéz illete engem, és felsegített térdeimre és tenyereimre;

11 És monda nékem: Dániel, kedves férfiú! Értsd meg a beszédeket, a melyeket én szólok néked, és állj helyedre, mert most te hozzád küldettem! És mikor e szót szólá velem, felállék reszketve.

12 És monda nékem: Ne félj Dániel: mert az elsõ naptól fogva, hogy szívedet adtad megértésre és sanyargatásra a te Istened elõtt, meghallgattattak a te beszédid, és én a te beszédeid miatt jöttem.

13 De Persiának fejedelme ellenem állott huszonegy napig, és ímé Mihály, egyike az elõkelõ fejedelmeknek, eljöve segítségemre, és én ott maradék a persa királyoknál;

14 Jöttem pedig, hogy tudtodra adjam, a mi a te népedre az utolsó idõkben következik: mert a látomás azokra a napokra [szól.]

15 És mikor ilyen szavakkal szóla velem, orczámmal a földre esém és megnémulék.

16 És ímé, olyan valaki, mint egy ember-fia, megilleté ajkaimat és megnyitám a számat és szólék és mondám annak, a ki elõttem álla: Uram, a látomás miatt reám fordulának az én fájdalmaim, annyira, hogy semmi erõm nincsen.

17 És mi módon szólhat ezzel az én Urammal ennek az én Uramnak szolgája? Hiszen bennem attól fogva nem álla meg az erõ, és lélekzet sem marada bennem.

18 És ismét illete engem az emberhez hasonló, és megerõsíte engem.

19 És monda: Ne félj, te kedves férfiú; békesség néked, légy erõs és bizony erõs! És mikor szóla velem, megerõsödém, és mondék: Szóljon az én Uram, mert megerõsítél engemet.

20 És monda: Tudod-é, miért jöttem hozzád? És most visszatérek, hogy küzdjek a persa fejedelem ellen; és ha én kimegyek, ímé Görögország fejedelme jõ elõ!

21 De megjelentem néked, a mi fel van jegyezve az igazság írásában; és senki sincsen, a ki én velem tartana ezek ellenében, hanem csak Mihály a ti fejedelmetek.

9872. 'A tarshish, and a shoham, and a jasper' means the spiritual love of truth, in which higher things terminate. This is clear from the meaning of these stones, which they derive from their colours; for the colour of all the stones in this row is on the white side tinged with blue. The fact that tarshish means the spiritual love of truth is clear from places in the Word where it is mentioned, as in Ezekiel,

Behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubs; the appearance of the wheels was like that of tarshish stone. Ezekiel 1:16; 10:9.

The cherubs' wheels are similar in meaning to a person's arms and feet, which is the power to act and go forward, this power being that of truth springing from good, see 8215. This explains why the appearance of those wheels was like that of tarshish stone; for 'tarshish' means truth springing from spiritual good, which possesses power.

[2] In Daniel,

I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a man clothed in linen whose loins were girded with gold of Uphaz, and his body was like tarshish; and his face was like [the appearance] of lightning, and his eyes were like fiery torches. Daniel 10:5-6.

'A man clothed in linen' was an angel from heaven. 'Linen' means truth that is the clothing of good, 7601. By 'loins' conjugial love, which belongs to goodness and truth, is meant, 3021, 4280, 5050-5062. This is why the man's loins are said to have been 'girded with gold of Uphaz', for 'gold' means the good of love, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 9490, 9510. 'The body' however, by virtue of its correspondence, means the good of celestial love and also the good of spiritual love, 6135, while the surface of the body means the truth that springs from that good, which is why the man's body looked like tarshish. So it is that 'tarshish' means the truth that spiritual love desires.

[3] For the meaning of a shoham, the second stone in this row, as the truths of faith that spring from love, see what has been shown in 9476, 9841. As for a jasper, the third and last stone belonging to this row, that it means the truth of faith, this is clear in John's Revelation,

The light of the city, the holy Jerusalem, was like a most precious stone, as if it were a jasper stone, shining like crystal. Revelation 21:11.

'The holy Jerusalem' means the Church that is going to take the place of the one that is ours at the present day. Its 'light' is the truth of faith and resulting intelligence, 9548, 9551, 9555, 9558, 9561, 9684. Therefore it is likened to 'a jasper stone, shining like crystal'. 'Crystal' as well means the truth of faith springing from good, in the same book,

The construction of the wall of the holy Jerusalem was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like pure glass. Revelation 21:18.

The wall of the city is described as jasper because 'the wall' means the truth of faith protecting the Church, 6419. And since 'the wall' has this meaning, verse 19 of that chapter says that the first stone constituting its foundations was jasper. For by 'foundation' is meant the truth of faith springing from good, see 9643.

17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far part westward.

28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
