申命记 32

Studie

   

1 哪,侧耳,我要说话;愿中的言语。

2 我的教训要淋漓如;我的言语要滴落如,如细降在嫩上,如甘霖降在菜蔬中。

3 我要宣告耶和华的名;你们要将大德归与我们的

4 他是磐石,他的作为完全;他所行的无不公平,是诚实无伪的神,又公,又正直。

5 这乖僻弯曲的世代向他行事邪僻;有这弊病就不是他的儿女。

6 愚昧无知的民哪,你们这样报答耶和华麽?他岂不是你的父、将你买来的麽?他是制造你、建立你的。

7 你当追想上古之日,思念历之年;问你的父亲,他必指示你;问你的长者,他必告诉你。

8 者将地业赐给列邦,将世人分开,就照以色列人的数目立定万民的疆界。

9 耶和华的分本是他的百姓;他的产业本是雅各

10 耶和华遇见他在旷野─荒凉野兽吼叫之,就环绕他,看顾他,保护他,如同保护眼中的瞳人。

11 又如搅动窝,在雏以上两搧展,接取雏,背在两翼之上。

12 这样,耶和华独自引导他,并无外邦神与他同在。

13 耶和华使他乘驾处,得田间的土产;又使他从磐石中咂蜜,从坚石中

14 也吃牛的奶油的奶,羔的脂,巴珊所出的公绵和山,与上好的麦子,也葡萄汁酿的酒。

15 但耶书仑渐渐肥胖,粗壮,光润,跳,奔跑,便离弃造他的,轻看他的磐石;

16 敬拜别神,触动神的愤恨,行可憎恶的事,惹了他的怒气。

17 所祭祀的鬼魔并非真,乃是素不认识的,是近新兴的,是你列祖所不畏惧的。

18 你轻忽生你的磐石,忘记产你的神。

19 耶和华见他的儿女惹动他,就厌恶他们,说:

20 我要向他们掩面,他们的结局如何。他们本是极乖僻的族类,心中无诚实的儿女。

21 他们以那不算为神的触动我的愤恨,以虚无的神惹了我的怒气。我也要以那不成子民的触动他们的愤恨,以愚昧的国民惹了他们的怒气。

22 因为在我怒中有烧起,直烧到极深的阴间,把的出产尽都焚烧,根基也烧着了。

23 我要将祸患堆在他们身上,把我的向他们射尽。

24 他们必因饥饿消瘦,被炎热苦吞灭。我要打发野兽牙齿咬他们,并土中腹行的,用气害他们。

25 外头有刀,内室有惊恐,使丧亡,使少、童女、吃奶的、白发的,尽都灭绝。

26 ,我必将他们分散远方,使他们的名号从人间除灭。

27 惟恐仇敌惹动我,只怕敌人错看,:是我们的能力,并非耶和华所行的。

28 因为以色列民毫无计谋,心中没有聪明。

29 惟愿他们有智慧,能明白这事,肯思念他们的结局。

30 若不是他们的磐石了他们,若不是耶和华交出他们,人焉能追赶他们人?人焉能使万人逃跑呢?

31 据我们的仇敌自己断定,他们的磐石不如我们的磐石。

32 他们的葡萄树是所多玛的葡萄树,蛾摩拉田园所生的;他们的葡萄是毒葡萄,全挂都是苦的。

33 他们的酒是大蛇的气,是虺蛇残害的恶

34 这不都是积蓄在我这里,封锁在我府中麽?

35 他们失的时候,伸冤报应在我;因他们遭灾的日子近了;那要临在他们身上的必速速来到。

36 耶和华见他百姓毫无能力,无论困住的、自由的都没有剩下,就必为他们伸冤,为他的仆人後悔。

37 他必:他们的,他们所投靠的磐石,

38 就是向来他们祭牲的脂油,他们奠祭之酒的,在那里呢?他可以兴起帮助你们,护卫你们。

39 你们如今要知道:我,惟有我是;在我以外并无别。我使人死,我使人活;我损伤,我也医治,并无人能从我中救出来。

40 我向:我凭我的永生起誓:

41 我若磨我闪亮的刀,掌审判之权,就必报复我的敌人,报应恨我的人。

42 我要使我的饮血饮醉,就是被杀被掳之人的血。我的刀要,乃是仇敌中首领之

43 你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢呼;因他要伸他仆人流血的冤,报应他的敌人,洁净他的地,救赎他的百姓。

44 摩西和嫩的儿子约书亚去将这歌的一切给百姓听。

45 摩西以色列众人说完了这一切的

46 :我今日所警教你们的,你们都要放在心上;要吩咐你们的子孙谨守遵行这律法上的

47 因为这不是虚空、与你们无关的事,乃是你们的生命;在你们过约但河要得为业的地上必因这事日子得以长久。

48 当日,耶和华吩咐摩西

49 你上这亚巴琳中的尼波去,在摩押耶利哥相对,观我所要赐以色列人为业的迦南

50 你必在你所登的上,归你列祖(原文作本民)去,像你哥哥亚伦在何珥上,归他的列祖一样。

51 因为你们在寻的旷野,加低斯的米利巴水,在以色列人中没有尊我为,得罪了我。

52 我所赐以色列人,你可以远远,却不得进去。

6269. 'And Israel put out his right hand and placed it on Ephraim's head' means that he considered truth to occupy the first place. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting out his right hand' as considering to occupy the first place - 'right hand' meaning in first place, as is self-evident; and from the representation of' Ephraim' as the understanding, and so the truth of faith since it dwells in the understanding part of a person s mind when sight provided by the light of heaven, thus spiritual sight, exists there, see 6222. The fact that Israel put his right hand on Ephraim's head and his left on Manasseh's is referred to in this verse and also in verses 17-19 below; and by that action is meant the fact that he considered the truth of faith to occupy first place and the good of charity second place. The reason he thought that way was that the spiritual man, represented by 'Israel', 4286, 6256, does not consider them, before he has been regenerated, any differently. For the spiritual man is directly conscious of what the truth of faith is; but he is not conscious of what the good of charity is since it comes to him by an interior route, whereas the truth of faith comes by an exterior one, just as factual knowledge does.

[2] But people who are not being regenerated say quite categorically that faith occupies the first place, that is, that it is the essential element of the Church, because they can then lead whatever kind of life they like and still say that they entertain the hope of salvation. This also is the reason why at the present day charity has disappeared so completely that scarcely anyone knows what it is, or even consequently what faith is since the one does not exist without the other. If charity occupied the first place and faith the second the whole appearance of the Church would be different, for in that case no others would be called Christians but those who led a life in keeping with the truth of faith, which is a charitable life. People would also know what charity was, and they would not on the basis of particular ideas about the truths of faith distinguish between and make many Churches out of different groups. Instead they would speak of one Church that included all leading a good life, and not only those within that part of the world where the Church exists but also those outside. If they spoke in this way the Church would have an enlightened view of such things as belong to the Lord's kingdom; for charity is what brings light, and never faith without charity. And the mistaken ideas that faith separated from charity introduces would also be clearly recognizable.

[3] From this one may see how different the whole appearance of the Church would be if the good of charity were to occupy the first place, that is, if it were the essential element, and the truth of faith occupied the second place, that is, if it were the outward form that expressed it. The whole appearance of the Church would then be like that of the Ancient Church, which identified the Church with charity and had no other teachings of the Church than those concerned with charity, as a consequence of which they had wisdom from the Lord. The nature of that Church is described by these words in Moses,

Jehovah encompassed him, instructed him, and kept him as the pupil of His eye. As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads out its wings, He took him, He carried him on His wing. Jehovah alone led him, nor was any foreign god with him. He caused him to ride on the heights of the land, and He fed [Him] from the produce of the fields; He caused him to suck honey out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock - butter from the herd, and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs and of rams, the breed 1 of Bashan, and of goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the grape you drink unmixed wine. Deuteronomy 32:10-14.

Those who belonged to that Church are consequently in heaven, enjoying complete happiness and glory there.
