耶利米书 16

Studie

   

1 耶和华的话又临到我说：

2 你在这地方不可娶妻，生儿养女。

3 因为论到在这地方所生的儿女，又论到在这国中生养他们的父母，耶和华如此说：

4 他们必死得甚苦，无人哀哭，必不得葬埋，必在地上像粪土，必被刀剑和饥荒灭绝；他们的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物。

5 耶和华如此说：不要进入丧家，不要去哀哭，也不要为他们悲伤，因我已将我的平安、慈爱、怜悯从这百姓夺去了。这是耶和华说的。

6 连大带小，都必在这地死亡，不得葬埋。人必不为他们哀哭，不用刀划身，也不使头光秃。

7 他们有丧事，人必不为他们擘饼，因死人安慰他们；他们丧父丧母，人也不给他们一杯酒安慰他们。

8 你不可进入宴乐的家，与他们同坐吃喝。

9 因为万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说：你们还活着的日子在你们眼前，我必使欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，从这地方止息了。

10 你将这一切的话指示这百姓。他们问你说：耶和华为甚麽说，要降这大灾祸攻击我们呢？我们有甚麽罪孽呢？我们向耶和华─我们的神犯了甚麽罪呢？

11 你就对他们说：耶和华说：因为你们列祖离弃我，随从别神，事奉敬拜，不遵守我的律法，

12 而且你们行恶比你们列祖更甚；因为各人随从自己顽梗的恶心行事，甚至不听从我，

13 所以我必将你们从这地赶出，直赶到你们和你们列祖素不认识的地。你们在那里必昼夜事奉别神，因为我必不向你们施恩。

14 耶和华说：日子将到，人必不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来之永生的耶和华起誓，耶和华说：日子将到，人必不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来之永生的耶和华起誓，

15 却要指着那领以色列人从北方之地，并赶他们到的各国上来之永生的耶和华起誓，并且我要领他们再入我从前赐给他们列祖之地。

16 耶和华说：我要召许多打鱼的把以色列人打上来，然後我要召许多打猎的，从各山上、各冈上、各石穴中猎取他们。

17 因我的眼目察看他们的一切行为；他们不能在我面前遮掩，他们的罪孽也不能在我眼前隐藏。

18 我先要加倍报应他们的罪孽和罪恶；因为他们用可憎之尸玷污我的地土，又用可厌之物充满我的产业。

19 耶和华啊，你是我的力量，是我的保障；在苦难之日是我的避难所。列国人必从地极来到你这里，说：我们列祖所承受的，不过是虚假，是虚空无益之物。

20 人岂可为自己制造神呢？其实这不是神。

21 耶和华说：我要使他们知道，就是这一次使他们知道我的手和我的能力。他们就知道我的名是耶和华了。

Apocalypse Revealed # 506

506. And not allow their bodies to be put into tombs. This symbolically means that they have condemned these two essential elements and will continue to condemn them.

The bodies here symbolize the two essential elements of the New Church, as explained in no. 505 and earlier numbers. And not allowing these to be put into tombs symbolizes their rejection as condemned. This is the symbolic meaning because putting people into tombs or burying them symbolizes their resurrection and continuation of life, for committed to the earth then are the materials taken from the earth, thus things that are earthly and so unclean. Thus not to be put into tombs or buried means, symbolically, to remain immersed in earthly and unclean things, and therefore to be rejected as condemned.

It was owing to this that in the church among the children of Israel, which was a representational church, it was a statute that people regarded as condemned be cast out and not buried, as is apparent from the following passages:

(Jehovah said concerning them,) "They shall die harsh deaths. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall become dung on the face of the earth... and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the air and for the animals of the earth." (Jeremiah 16:3-4)

(Prophets who prophesy falsely) shall be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem... having no one to bury them. (Jeremiah 14:15-16)

At that time... they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets... from their graves... They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall become dung on the face of the earth. (Jeremiah 8:1-2)

The dogs would eat Jezebel on the plot of ground... having no one to bury her. (2 Kings 9:10)

...you have been cast out of your grave like an abominable twig..., like a corpse trodden underfoot. You will not be joined with them in burial... (Isaiah 14:19-20)

And so on elsewhere, as in Jeremiah 25:32-33; 22:19; 7:32-33; 19:11-12, 2 Kings 23:16.
