حزقيال 44

Studie

   

1 ثم ارجعني الى طريق باب المقدس الخارجي المتجه للمشرق وهو مغلق.

2 فقال لي الرب هذا الباب يكون مغلقا لا يفتح ولا يدخل منه انسان لان الرب اله اسرائيل دخل منه فيكون مغلقا.

3 الرئيس الرئيس هو يجلس فيه لياكل خبزا امام الرب. من طريق رواق الباب يدخل ومن طريقه يخرج.

4 ثم اتى بي في طريق باب الشمال الى قدام البيت. فنظرت واذا بمجد الرب قد ملأ بيت الرب. فخررت على وجهي.

5 فقال لي الرب يا ابن آدم اجعل قلبك وانظر بعينيك واسمع باذنيك كل ما اقوله لك عن كل فرائض بيت الرب وعن كل سننه واجعل قلبك على مدخل البيت مع كل مخارج المقدس.

6 وقل للمتمردين لبيت اسرائيل هكذا قال السيد الرب. يكفيكم كل رجاساتكم يا بيت اسرائيل

7 بادخالكم ابناء الغريب الغلف القلوب الغلف اللحم ليكونوا في مقدسي فينجسوا بيتي بتقريبكم خبزي الشحم والدم. فنقضوا عهدي فوق كل رجاساتكم.

8 ولم تحرسوا حراسة اقداسي بل اقمتم حرّاسا يحرسون عنكم في مقدسي

9 هكذا قال السيد الرب. ابن الغريب اغلف القلب واغلف اللحم لا يدخل مقدسي من كل ابن غريب الذي في وسط بني اسرائيل.

10 بل اللاويون الذين ابتعدوا عني حين ضل اسرائيل فضلّوا عني وراء اصنامهم يحملون اثمهم.

11 ويكونون خداما في مقدسي حراس ابواب البيت وخدام البيت. هم يذبحون المحرقة والذبيحة للشعب وهم يقفون امامهم ليخدموهم.

12 لانهم خدموهم امام اصنامهم وكانوا معثرة اثم لبيت اسرائيل. لذلك رفعت يدي عليهم يقول السيد الرب فيحملون اثمهم.

13 ولا يتقربون اليّ ليكهنوا لي ولا للاقتراب الى شيء من اقداسي الى قدس الاقداس بل يحملون خزيهم ورجاساتهم التي فعلوها.

14 واجعلهم حارسي حراسة البيت لكل خدمة لكل ما يعمل فيه

15 اما الكهنة اللاويون ابناء صادوق الذين حرسوا حراسة مقدسي حين ضل عني بنو اسرائيل فهم يتقدمون اليّ ليخدموني ويقفون امامي ليقربوا لي الشحم والدم يقول السيد الرب.

16 هم يدخلون مقدسي ويتقدمون الى مائدتي ليخدموني ويحرسوا حراستي.

17 ويكون عند دخولهم ابواب الدار الداخلية انهم يلبسون ثيابا من كتان ولا يأتي عليهم صوف عند خدمتهم في ابواب الدار الداخلية ومن داخل.

18 ولتكن عصائب من كتان على رؤوسهم ولتكن سراويل من كتان على احقائهم. لا يتنطقون بما يعرّق.

19 وعند خروجهم الى الدار الخارجية الى الشعب الى الدار الخارجية يخلعون ثيابهم التي خدموا بها ويضعونها في مخادع القدس ثم يلبسون ثيابا اخرى ولا يقدسون الشعب بثيابهم.

20 ولا يحلقون رؤوسهم ولا يربّون خصلا بل يجزّون شعر رؤوسهم جزّا.

21 ولا يشرب كاهن خمرا عند دخوله الى الدار الداخلية.

22 ولا يأخذون ارملة ولا مطلّقة زوجة بل يتخذون عذارى من نسل بيت اسرائيل او ارملة التي كانت ارملة كاهن.

23 ويرون شعبي التمييز بين المقدس والمحلّل ويعلمونهم التمييز بين النجس والطاهر.

24 وفي الخصام هم يقفون للحكم ويحكمون حسب احكامي ويحفظون شرائعي وفرائضي في كل مواسمي ويقدسون سبوتي.

25 ولا يدنوا من انسان ميت فيتنجسوا. اما لأب او ام او ابن او ابنة او اخ او اخت لم تكن لرجل يتنجسون.

26 وبعد تطهيره يحسبون له سبعة ايام.

27 وفي يوم دخوله الى القدس الى الدار الداخلية ليخدم في القدس يقرّب ذبيحته عن الخطية يقول السيد الرب.

28 ويكون لهم ميراثا. انا ميراثهم ولا تعطونهم ملكا في اسرائيل. انا ملكهم.

29 يأكلون التقدمة وذبيحة الخطية وذبيحة الاثم وكل محرّم في اسرائيل يكون لهم.

30 واوائل كل الباكورات جميعها وكل رفيعة من كل رفائعكم تكون للكهنة. وتعطون الكاهن اوائل عجينكم لتحل البركة على بيتك.

31 لا يأكل الكاهن من ميتة ولا من فريسة طيرا كانت او بهيمة

26. Again I swear in truth that these events and words occurred as I have related them, the first ones in the world of spirits, which is midway between heaven and hell, and the subsequent ones in a society of heaven, the society from which came the angel with the trumpet, who acted as guide.

Who in the Christian world would know anything about heaven and the joys and happiness there - knowledge of which is also knowledge of salvation - unless it pleased the Lord to open to someone the sight of his spirit and to show him and teach him?

Corroboration that things like these occur in the spiritual world appears plainly from the things seen and heard by the apostle John, as described in the book of Revelation. For example, he describes having seen the following:

The Son of Man in the midst of the seven lampstands. 1

A tabernacle, temple, ark, and altar in heaven. 2

A book sealed with seven seals. The book opened, and horses going out of it. 3

Four living creatures around a throne. 4

Twelve thousand taken from each tribe. 5

Locusts arising out of the abyss. 6

A dragon and its fight with Michael. 7

A woman giving birth to a male child and fleeing into the wilderness because of the dragon. 8

Two beasts, one rising up out of the sea, the other out of the earth. 9

A woman sitting on a scarlet beast. 10

The dragon cast into a lake of fire and brimstone. 11

A white horse, and a great supper. 12

A new heaven and a new earth, and the holy Jerusalem coming down, described as to its gates, wall, and foundations. 13

Also a river of water of life, and trees of life yielding fruits every month. 14

Besides many other things, all of which were seen by John, and seen when he was in the spirit 15 in the spiritual world and in heaven. In addition, those things which were seen by the apostles after the Lord's resurrection. 16 And which were later seen by Peter (Acts of the Apostles 11). 17 Also which were then seen and heard by Paul. 18

Moreover, there were the things seen by the prophets. For example, Ezekiel saw the following:

Four living creatures, which were cherubs. (Ezekiel 1 and 10)

A new temple and a new earth, and an angel measuring them. (Ezekiel 40-48)

Being carried off to Jerusalem, he saw the abominations there. (Ezekiel 8) And he was also carried off into Chaldea, to those in captivity. (Ezekiel 11) 19

Something similar happened with Zechariah:

He saw a man riding among myrtle trees. (Zechariah 1:8 ff.)

He saw four horns, and then a man with a measuring line in his hand. (Zechariah 1:18 ff., 2:1 ff.)

He saw a lampstand and two olive trees. (Zechariah 4:1 ff.)

He saw a flying scroll, and an ephah. (Zechariah 5:1, 6)

He saw four chariots coming from between two mountains, with horses. (Zechariah 6:1 ff.)

Likewise with Daniel:

He saw four beasts come up from the sea. (Daniel 7:1 ff.)

Also the combats of a ram and a goat. (Daniel 8:1 ff.)

He saw the angel Gabriel, who spoke at length with him. (Daniel 9) 20

Moreover, Elisha's young man saw fiery chariots and horses around Elisha, and he saw them when his eyes were opened. 21

From these and many other passages in the Word, it is evident that the things which exist in the spiritual world have appeared to many, before and after the Lord's Advent. Why should it be surprising for them to appear also now, when the Church is beginning and the New Jerusalem is coming down from the Lord out of heaven

John 21

Studie

   

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.

4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus.

5 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."

6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They Cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn't torn.

12 Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord.

13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

18 Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don't want to go."

19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"

21 Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

22 Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn't die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wouldn't die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"

24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn't have room for the books that would be written.
