耶利米哀歌 2

Studie

   

1 主何竟发怒,使黑云遮蔽锡安城!他将以色列的华美从扔在上;在他发怒的日子并不记念自己的脚凳

2 雅各一切的住处,并不顾惜。他发怒倾覆犹大民的保障,使这保障坍倒在;他辱没这国和其中的首领。

3 他发烈怒,把以色列的角全然砍断,在仇敌面前收回右手。他像焰四围吞灭,将雅各烧毁。

4 他张好像仇敌;他站着举起右手,如同敌人将悦人眼目的,尽行杀戮。在锡安百姓的帐棚上倒出他的忿怒,像一样。

5 主如仇敌以色列和锡安的一切宫殿,拆毁百姓的保障;在犹大民中加增悲伤哭号。

6 他强取自己的帐幕,好像是园中的窝棚,毁坏他的聚会之处。耶和华使圣节和安息日在锡安都被忘记,又在怒气的愤恨中藐视君王和祭司。

7 耶和华丢弃自己的祭坛,憎恶自己的圣所,将宫殿的墙垣交付仇敌。他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷,像在圣会之日一样。

8 耶和华定意拆毁锡安的城墙;他拉了准绳,不将收回,定要毁灭。他使外郭和城墙都悲哀,一同衰败。

9 锡安的都陷入内;将她的闩毁坏,折断。她的君王和首领落在没有律法的列国中;她的先知不得见耶和华的异象

10 锡安城的长老上默默无声;他们扬起尘土落在上,腰束麻布耶路撒冷处女

11 我眼中流泪,以致失明,我的心肠扰乱,胆涂,都因我众民遭毁灭,又因孩童和吃奶的在城内街上发昏。

12 那时,他们在城内街上发昏,好像受伤的,在母亲的怀里,将要丧命;对母亲:谷、酒在哪里呢?

13 耶路撒冷的民哪,我可用甚麽向你证明呢?我可用甚麽与你相比呢?锡安的民哪,我可拿甚麽和你比较,好安慰你呢?因为你的裂口,谁能医治你呢?

14 你的先知为你见虚假和愚昧的异象,并没有显露你的罪孽,使你被掳的归回;却为你见虚假的默示和使你被赶出本境的缘故。

15 凡过的都向你拍掌。他们向耶路撒冷城嗤笑,摇:难道人所称为全美的,称为全所喜悦的,就是这城吗?

16 你的仇敌都向你大大张;他们嗤笑,又切齿:我们灭她。这真是我们所盼望的日子临到了!我们亲眼见了!

17 耶和华成就了他所定的,应验了他古时所命定的。他倾覆了,并不顾惜,使你的仇敌向你夸耀;使你敌人的角也被高举。

18 锡安民的哀求主。锡安的城墙啊,愿你泪如,昼夜不息;愿你眼中的瞳人泪不止。

19 夜间,每逢交更的时候要起来呼喊,在主面前倾。你的孩童在各市口上受饿发昏;你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告。

20 耶和华啊,求你观!见你向谁这样行?妇人岂可自己所生育手里所摇弄的婴孩吗?祭司和先知岂可在主的圣所中被杀戮吗?

21 少年人和老年人都在街上躺卧;我的处女和壮丁都倒在刀下;你发怒的日子杀死他们。你杀了,并不顾惜。

22 你招聚四围惊吓我的,像在大会的日子招聚人一样。耶和华发怒的日子,无人逃脱,无人存留。我所摇弄所养育的婴孩,仇敌都杀净了。

Apocalypse Revealed # 270

270. Having seven horns. This symbolizes the Lord's omnipotence.

The Word often mentions horns, and a horn everywhere symbolizes power. Consequently, when a horn is mentioned in connection with the Lord, it symbolizes omnipotence. Seven horns are specified, because seven symbolizes all (no. 10), thus all power or omnipotence.

That a horn symbolizes power, and when mentioned in connection with the Lord, omnipotence, can be seen from the following passages:

You who rejoice over nothing, who say, "Have we not taken horns for ourselves by our own strength?" (Amos 6:13)

I said... to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn. Do not lift up your horn on high...." All the horns of the wicked I will cut off; the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. (Psalms 75:4-5, 10)

Jehovah... has exalted the horn of your adversaries. (Lamentations 2:17)

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken... (Jeremiah 48:25)

...you have pushed with side and shoulder, and struck all the weak sheep with your horns... (Ezekiel 34:21)

(Jehovah) has exalted the horn of His people... (Psalms 148:14)

(Jehovah God of hosts,) the glory of their strength..., He has exalted our horn. (Psalms 89:17)

The brightness (of Jehovah God) will be like the light; He will have horns 1 coming from His hand, and the hiding of His power there. (Habakkuk 3:4)

...My arm shall strengthen (David)..., and in My name his horn shall be exalted. (Psalms 89:21, 24)

...Jehovah, my strength..., my rock...(my) horn... (Psalms 18:1-2, cf. 2 Samuel 22:3)

Arise..., O daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron..., that you may break in pieces many peoples. (Micah 4:13)

(The Lord) has destroyed in His wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah..., (and) He has cut off... every horn of Israel. (Lamentations 2:2-3)

Powers are also symbolized by the horns of the dragon in Revelation 12:3; by the horns of the beast rising up out of the sea in Revelation 13:1; by the horns of the scarlet beast upon which the woman sat in Revelation 17:3, 7, 12; by the horns of the ram and the goat in Daniel 8:3-12, 20-22. The last symbolized the power of Divine truth in the church. And conversely, that that power would perish, by the horns of the altars in Bethel, in Amos:

...I will visit punishment on the transgressions of Israel, I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel, so that the horns of the altar are cut off and fall to the ground. (Amos 3:14)
