Hóseás 13

Проучване

   

1 Efraim szólott volt, rettegés: nagygyá lett Izráelben, de vétkezett a Baállal, és meghalt.

2 Most is többítik bûneiket és csinálnak magoknak öntött képeket az õ ezüstjökbõl, bálványokat az õ eszök szerint. Képfaragók csinálmánya mindaz! Róluk mondják: Emberek, a kik áldoznak, borjúkat csókolnak!

3 Azért olyanná lesznek, mint a reggeli felhõ és mint a harmat, a mely korán eltûnik; mint a szérûrõl elsodort polyva és mint a kéménynek füstje.

4 Pedig én vagyok az Úr, a te Istened Égyiptom földétõl fogva. Nem ismerhetsz más Istent kivülem, és rajtam kivül nincs [más] szabadító!

5 Én ismertelek téged a pusztában, az eltikkadt földön.

6 A mint legeltek: elteltek; elteltek és szívök felfuvalkodék: azért hát elfelejtkezének rólam.

7 De olyan is leszek hozzájok, mint az oroszlán; mint a párducz, úgy lesekedem az úton.

8 Rájok rohanok, mint a [kölykétõl] megfosztott medve, és széttépem szívök borítóját, és felfalom ott õket, mint egy nõstény oroszlán. A mezei vad szaggatja szét õket!

9 Romlásodra lett Izráel, hogy ellenem [törekedtél,] a te segítõd ellen.

10 Hol van hát a te királyod, hol van, hogy megoltalmazzon minden városodban? És biráid, a kik felõl ezt mondád: Adj nékem királyt és fejedelmeket!

11 Adtam néked királyt haragomban, és elvettem az én búsulásomban!

12 Egybe van kötve Efraim álnoksága; eltéve az õ bûne!

13 A szülõasszony kínjai lepik meg õt; oktalan fiú õ, mert a kellõ idõben nem jõ ki anyjának méhébõl.

14 Megváltom õket a Seol hatalmából! Megmentem õket a haláltól! Hol van a te veszedelmed oh halál?! Hol van a te romlásod oh Seol?! Megbánás elrejtetett én elõlem.

15 Mert bár a testvérek közt õ a legvirágzóbb: feljõ a keleti szél, az Úr szele támad fel a pusztából; kiszárad kútfeje, elapad forrása: az rabolja ki minden drága kincseinek tárházát.

7679. 'And Jehovah brought an east wind' means an agent of destruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'an east wind' as an agent of destruction. 'An east wind' has this meaning because it was dry and turbulent, and because it therefore withered the produce of that land, and by its force shattered trees, and ships at sea. This is why that wind, acting as an agent [of destruction], describes the effect that Divine power can have. In addition 'the east' means the good of love and charity, for the Lord is meant by it in the highest sense, 101, 1250, 3708. Also, being Divine, the good of love and charity is in origin very gentle, and consequently is also such in its movements when it passes into heaven. But when it comes down into hell it becomes rough and fierce, because the inhabitants of hell make it so. Therefore the inflow and presence there of that Divine good not only torments them but also devastates them. This too explains why a wind from the east or 'an east wind' means an agent of destruction.

[2] The fact that this wind means an agent of destruction is evident from the places in which it is mentioned in the Word, as in Jeremiah,

Like an east wind I will scatter them before the enemy. Jeremiah 18:17.

In Ezekiel,

The vine that was planted, will it thrive? 1 When the east wind strikes it, will it not wither completely?. Ezekiel 17:10.

In the same prophet,

That vine has been plucked up in anger, it has been cast down onto the ground, the east wind has dried its fruit. Ezekiel 19:12.

In Hosea,

He will be among his brothers a ferocious one; an east wind will come, Jehovah's wind rising up from the desert, and his spring mill become dry, and his fountain dried up. Hosea 13:15.

In David,

By an east wind You will shatter the ships of Tarshish. Psalms 48:7.

In Ezekiel,

They brought you down to many waters, those who despise you; the east wind broke you in the heart of the seas. Ezekiel 27:26.

From these places it is evident that 'an east wind' means an agent of destruction, because it was a dry wind and a turbulent one. It therefore also means an agent of devastation, as in Hosea,

Ephraim feeds the wind, and pursues the east wind. All the day long he multiplies lies and devastation. Hosea 12:1.

'Ephraim' stands for the Church's understanding, 5354, 6222, 6238. 'Feeding the wind' is multiplying lies, and 'pursuing the east wind' is multiplying devastation. A state of devastation and temptation is also called 'the day of the east wind' in Isaiah 27:7-8.

Genesis 10

Проучване

   

1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
