约书亚记 1

Studie

1 耶和华的仆人摩西死了以耶和华晓谕摩西的帮手,嫩的儿子约书亚,

2 我的仆人摩西死了。现在你要起来,和众百姓过这约但河,往我所要赐以色列人去。

3 凡你们掌所踏之地,我都照着我所应许摩西的话赐你们了。

4 旷野和这利巴嫩,直到伯拉,赫人的全,又到日落之处,都要作你们的境界。

5 你平生的日子,必无一能在你面前站立得住。我怎样与摩西同在,也必照样与你同在;我必不撇下你,也不丢弃你。

6 你当刚强壮胆!因为你必使这百姓承受那为业,就是我向他们列祖起誓应许赐他们的

7 只要刚强,大大壮胆,谨守遵行我仆人摩西所吩咐你的一切律法,不可偏离左右,使你无论往那里去,都可以顺利。

8 这律法不可离开你的,总要昼夜思想,好使你谨守遵行这上所的一切话。如此,你的道路就可以亨通,凡事顺利。

9 我岂没有吩咐你麽?你当刚强壮胆!不要惧怕,也不要惊惶;因为你无论往那里去,耶和华─你的必与你同在。

10 於是,约书亚吩咐百姓的

11 你们要走遍中,吩咐百姓说:当预备食物;因为日之内你们要过这约但河,进去得耶和华─你们赐你们为业之

12 约书亚对流便人、迦得人,和玛拿西半支派的人

13 你们要追念耶和华的仆人摩西所吩咐你们的耶和华─你们的使你们得享平安,也必将这你们。

14 你们的妻子、孩子,和牲畜都可以留在约但河东、摩西你们的;但你们中间一切大能的勇士都要带着兵器在你们的弟兄前面过去,帮助他们,

15 等到耶和华使你们的弟兄像你们一样得享平安,并且得着耶和华─你们所赐他们为业之,那时才可以回你们所得之,承受为业,就是耶和华的仆人摩西在约但河东、向日出你们的。

16 他们回答约书亚:你所吩咐我们行的,我们都必行;你所差遣我们去的,我们都必去。

17 我们从前在一切事上怎样摩西,现在也必照样从你;惟愿耶和华─你的与你同在,像与摩西同在一样。

18 无论甚麽违背你的命令,不从你所吩咐他的一切,就必治他。你只要刚强壮胆!

Sea

  

Water generally represents “natural truth,” or true concepts about day-to-day matters and physical things. Since all water ultimately flows into the seas, then, it follows that a sea represents a huge agglomeration of such natural truths -- usually all of the natural truth a person has, or all the natural truth a church has. Water in the sea mixes freely, and is easily stirred up by winds and currents. This is also true of the concepts we hold about natural things -- they are not all related to each other, and when relationships do exist they usually can change without damaging the concepts themselves. Many of the concepts are easily disputed, and arguments can arise like waves on the ocean -- generally with little effect other than a mixing of waters. But the sea also offers great bounty. We draw fish from it (spiritual food), float ships (doctrinal systems) on it, bathe in it (using true concepts to purify ourselves), and the water that evaporates from it and falls as rain (purer forms of truth that can attach to desires for good) makes life possible.
