Ovadija 1

Проучване

1 Utvara Avdijeva. Ovako veli Gospod Gospod za edomsku: Čusmo glas od Gospoda, i glasnik bi poslan k narodima: Ustajte, da ustanemo na nju u boj.

2 Gle, učiniću te malim među narodima, bićeš vrlo prezren.

3 Ponos srca tvog prevari te, tebe, koji živiš u raselinama kamenim, u visokom stanu svom, i govoriš u srcu svom: Ko će me oboriti na zemlju?

4 Da podigneš visoko kao orao i među zvezde da metneš gnezdo svoje, odande ću te oboriti, govori Gospod.

5 Kako si oplenjen?! Da su došli k tebi kradljivci ili lupeži noću, ne bi li pokrali koliko im je dosta? Da su došli k tebi berači vinogradski, ne bi li ostavili pabiraka?

6 Kako se pretraži Isav, kako se nađoše potaje njegove!

7 Do granice te odvedoše svi koji behu s tobom u veri, prevariše te i nadvladaše te koji behu u miru s tobom; koji jedu hleb tvoj podmetnuše ti zamku, da se ne opazi.

8 U onaj dan, govori Gospod, neću li pogubiti mudre u zemlji edomskoj i razumne u gori Isavovoj?

9 I tvoji će se junaci uplašiti, Temane, da se istrebe pokoljem svi iz gore Isavove.

10 Za nasilje učinjeno bratu tvom Jakovu pokriće te stid i istrebićeš se zasvagda.

11 Onaj dan, kad ti stajaše nasuprot; onaj dan, kad inostranci odvođahu u ropstvo vojsku njegovu, i tuđinci ulažahu na vrata njegova i bacahu žreb za Jerusalim, beše i ti kao koji od njih.

12 Ali ti ne trebaše gledati dana brata svog, dana, kad se odvođaše u tuđu zemlju, niti se radovati sinovima Judinim u dan kad propadahu, niti razvaljivati usta u dan nevolje njihove.

13 Ne trebaše ti ući na vrata naroda mog u dan pogibli njihove, ne trebaše da i ti gledaš zlo njihovo u dan pogibli njihove, ni da se dohvataš dobra njihova u dan pogibli njihove.

14 Niti trebaše da staneš na rasputicu da ubijaš bežan njihovu, niti da izdaješ onih koji ostaše u dan nevolje.

15 Jer je dan Gospodnji blizu svim narodima: kako si činio, tako će ti biti, plata će ti se vratiti na glavu tvoju.

16 Jer kao što ste vi pili na svetoj gori mojoj, tako će piti svi narodi vazda, piće, i ždreće, i biće kao da ih nije bilo.

17 A na gori će Sionu biti spasenje, i biće sveta, i dom će Jakovljev naslediti nasledstvo svoje.

18 I dom će Jakovljev biti oganj i dom Josifov plamen, a dom Isavov strnjika; i razgoreće se na njih, i spaliće ih; i neće biti ostataka domu Isavovom, jer Gospod reče.

19 I naslediće jug, goru Isavovu, i ravnicu, Filisteje; i naslediće polje Jefremovo i polje samarijsko i Venijaminovo i Galad;

20 I zarobljena vojska sinova Izrailjevih naslediće šta je bilo hananejsko do Sarepte; a roblje jerusalimsko, što je u Sefaradu, naslediće južne gradove.

21 I izbavitelji će izaći na goru Sion da sude gori Isavovoj, i carstvo će biti Gospodnje.

Head

The head is the part of us that is highest, which means in a representative sense that it is what is closest to the Lord. Because of this the head represents what is inmost in us, the thing at the center of our being. In most cases this means intelligence and wisdom, since most of us are in a state of life in which we are led by our thoughts and reason. In the case of the Lord, however, it often represents His perfect love. And in many cases the head is used to represent the whole person.

538. Having seven heads. This symbolizes irrationality owing to their falsifying and profaning the Word's truths.

A head symbolizes wisdom and intelligence, and in an opposite sense, irrationality. However, the seven heads here, being the heads of the dragon, symbolize more specifically irrationality owing to a falsification and profanation of the Word's truths. For the number seven is predicated of things that are holy, and in an opposite sense, of things that are profane (no. 10). Consequently we are told next that on its heads were seen seven jewels, 1 and jewels symbolize the Word's truths, there truths falsified and profaned.

That a head symbolizes wisdom and intelligence is apparent from the following passages:

I will give you wise and intelligent men..., and I will make them your heads. (Deuteronomy 1:13)

...Jehovah... has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; and He has covered your heads, namely, the seers. (Isaiah 29:10)

In Daniel 2:32 the head of Nebuchadnezzar's image of fine gold symbolizes the wisdom of the first age, which existed in people of the Most Ancient Church.

That in an opposite sense a head symbolizes irrationality and foolishness is apparent in the book of Psalms:

God will smite the head of His enemies, the hairy crown of the one who walks in his guilty ways. (Psalms 68:21)

In Genesis 3:15 the head of the serpent that would be trampled has the same symbolism, and so does "striking the head over much land" in Psalms 110:6-7; Lamentations 2:10; 2 Samuel 13:19).

Moreover, seven heads later in the book of Revelation, namely, in Revelation 13:1, 3; 17:3, 7, 9, also symbolize irrationality owing to a falsification and profanation of truths.

Бележки под линия:

1. The word translated as "jewels" here means diadems or crowns in the original Greek and Latin, but the writer's definition of the term elsewhere make plain that he regularly and consistently interpreted it to mean jewels or gems.
