خروج 30

Studie

   

1 وتصنع مذبحا لايقاد البخور. من خشب السنط تصنعه.

2 طوله ذراع وعرضه ذراع. مربعا يكون. وارتفاعه ذراعان. منه تكون قرونه.

3 وتغشيه بذهب نقي سطحه وحيطانه حواليه وقرونه. وتصنع له اكليلا من ذهب حواليه.

4 وتصنع له حلقتين من ذهب تحت اكليله على جانبيه. على الجانبين تصنعهما. لتكونا بيتين لعصوين لحمله بهما.

5 وتصنع العصوين من خشب السنط وتغشيهما بذهب.

6 وتجعله قدام الحجاب الذي امام تابوت الشهادة. قدام الغطاء الذي على الشهادة حيث اجتمع بك.

7 فيوقد عليه هرون بخورا عطرا كل صباح. حين يصلح السرج يوقده.

8 وحين يصعد هرون السرج في العشية يوقده. بخورا دائما امام الرب في اجيالكم.

9 لا تصعدوا عليه بخورا غريبا ولا محرقة او تقدمة. ولا تسكبوا عليه سكيبا.

10 ويصنع هرون كفّارة على قرونه مرة في السنة. من دم ذبيحة الخطية التي للكفّارة مرة في السنة يصنع كفّارة عليه في اجيالكم. قدس اقداس هو للرب

11 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا

12 اذا اخذت كمية بني اسرائيل بحسب المعدودين منهم يعطون كل واحد فدية نفسه للرب عندما تعدّهم. لئلا يصير فيهم وبأ عندما تعدّهم.

13 هذا ما يعطيه كل من اجتاز الى المعدودين نصف الشاقل بشاقل القدس. الشاقل هو عشرون جيرة. نصف الشاقل تقدمة للرب.

14 كل من اجتاز الى المعدودين من ابن عشرين سنة فصاعدا يعطي تقدمة للرب.

15 الغني لا يكثر والفقير لا يقلل عن نصف الشاقل حين تعطون تقدمة الرب للتكفير عن نفوسكم.

16 وتأخذ فضة الكفّارة من بني اسرائيل وتجعلها لخدمة خيمة الاجتماع. فتكون لبني اسرائيل تذكارا امام الرب للتكفير عن نفوسكم

17 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا.

18 وتصنع مرحضة من نحاس وقاعدتها من نحاس للاغتسال. وتجعلها بين خيمة الاجتماع والمذبح وتجعل فيها ماء.

19 فيغسل هرون وبنوه ايديهم وارجلهم منها.

20 عند دخولهم الى خيمة الاجتماع يغسلون بماء لئلا يموتوا. او عند اقترابهم الى المذبح للخدمة ليوقدوا وقودا للرب.

21 يغسلون ايدهم وارجلهم لئلا يموتوا. ويكون لهم فريضة ابدية له ولنسله في اجيالهم

22 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا.

23 وانت تأخذ لك افخر الاطياب. مرّا قاطرا خمس مئة شاقل وقرفة عطرة نصف ذلك مئتين وخمسين وقصب الذريرة مئتين وخمسين

24 وسليخة خمس مئة بشاقل القدس. ومن زيت الزيتون هينا.

25 وتصنعه دهنا مقدسا للمسحة. عطر عطارة صنعة العطّار. دهنا مقدسا للمسحة يكون.

26 وتمسح به خيمة الاجتماع وتابوت الشهادة

27 والمائدة وكل آنيتها والمنارة وآنيتها ومذبح البخور

28 ومذبح المحرقة وكل آنيته والمرحضة وقاعدتها.

29 وتقدّسها فتكون قدس اقداس. كل ما مسّها يكون مقدسا.

30 وتمسح هرون وبنيه وتقدسهم ليكهنوا لي.

31 وتكلم بني اسرائيل قائلا. يكون هذا لي دهنا مقدّسا للمسحة في اجيالكم.

32 على جسد انسان لا يسكب. وعلى مقاديره لا تصنعوا مثله. مقدّس هو ويكون مقدّسا عندكم.

33 كل من ركّب مثله ومن جعل منه على اجنبي يقطع من شعبه.

34 وقال الرب لموسى خذ لك اعطارا. ميعة واظفارا وقنّة عطرة ولبانا نقيا. تكون اجزاء متساوية.

35 فتصنعها بخورا عطرا صنعة العطّار مملحا نقيا مقدّسا.

36 وتسحق منه ناعما وتجعل منه قدام الشهادة في خيمة الاجتماع حيث اجتمع بك. قدس اقداس يكون عندكم.

37 والبخور الذي تصنعه على مقاديره لا تصنعوا لانفسكم. يكون عندك مقدّسا للرب

38 كل من صنع مثله ليشمّه يقطع من شعبه

913. Gold symbolizes the goodness of love because metals, like everything else found in the natural world, have a correspondence - gold to the goodness of love, silver to truths of wisdom, copper or bronze to the goodness of charity, and iron to truths of faith. For that reason these metals are found also in the spiritual world, since everything found there has a correspondence, inasmuch as they all correspond to the angels' affections and thoughts, which in themselves are spiritual.

That gold, owing to its correspondence, symbolizes the goodness of love, may be seen from the following passages:

I urge you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be enriched... (Revelation 3:18)

How dim the gold has become! How changed the finest gold! The stones of the sanctuary are scattered at the head of every street. The precious sons of Zion, valuable as pure gold... (Lamentations 4:1-2)

He will... save the souls of the poor... And He will give them some of the gold of Sheba. (Psalms 72:13, 15)

Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron, silver, instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will also make your registration peaceful, and your tax gatherers righteous. (Isaiah 60:17)

Behold, you are wise...! No secret has been hidden from you! With your wisdom and your intelligence you have gained for yourself... gold and silver in your treasuries... You were in Eden, the garden...; every precious stone was your covering..., also gold. (Ezekiel 28:3-4, 13)

The multitude of camels shall cover you...; all those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense, and they shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah. (Isaiah 60:6, cf. 60:9, Matthew 2:11)

...I will fill this house with glory... The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine... The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former... (Haggai 2:7-9)

Kings' daughters are among Your precious ones. At Your right hand stands the queen in the finest gold of Ophir... Her clothing is woven with gold. (Psalms 45:9, 13, cf. Ezekiel 16:13)

You have taken vessels for your adornment from My gold and My silver that I had given you, and made for yourself male images... (Ezekiel 16:17)

...you have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried My valuable possessions into your temples. (Joel 3:5)

[2] Since gold symbolized the goodness of love, therefore when Belshazzar with his great men was drinking wine from vessels of gold taken from the temple in Jerusalem, and at the same time was praising gods of gold, silver, bronze and iron, writing appeared on the wall, and that night he was slain (Daniel 5). And so on in many other places.

Since gold symbolized the goodness of love, therefore the Ark that contained the Law was overlaid inside and out with gold (Exodus 25:11). Therefore the mercy seat and the cherubim over the Ark were also of made of pure gold (Exodus 25:17-18).

[3] Since gold symbolized the goodness of love, silver the truth of wisdom, bronze the goodness of the natural love called charity, and iron the truth of faith, therefore people in ancient times called the succeeding periods of time from the most ancient period to the concluding one the golden, silver, bronze and iron ages. A similar symbolism is exhibited by the statue that Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream, whose head was fine gold, its breast and arms silver, its belly and thighs bronze, its lower legs iron, and its feet part iron and part clay (Daniel 2:32-33). This symbolizes the succeeding states of the church in this world, from most ancient times to the present day. The state of the church today is described in this way:

As you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:43)

Iron symbolizes the truth of faith, as we have said, yet when there is no truth of faith, but faith without truth, then it is iron mixed with miry clay, the two of which do not bond together. The seed of men with which they will mingle symbolizes the truth in the Word. This is the state of the church today. What it will be hereafter is briefly described in Daniel 2:45, but at more length in chapter 7, verses 13-18, 27.

Revelation 21

Studie

   

1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away."

5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

6 He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.

7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride."

10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

13 On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

15 He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.

16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand Twelve stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.

19 The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

23 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),

26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.

27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
