出埃及记 8

Studie

   

1 耶和华吩咐摩西:你进去见法老,对他耶和华这样:容我的百姓去,好事奉我。

2 你若不肯容他们去,我必使青蛙糟蹋你的四境。

3 河里要滋生青蛙;这青蛙要上进你的宫殿和你的卧房,上你的榻,进你臣仆的房屋,上你百姓的身上,进你的炉灶和你的抟面盆,

4 又要上你和你百姓并你众臣仆的身上。

5 耶和华晓谕摩西:你对亚伦:把你的杖伸在江、、池以上,使青蛙埃及上来。

6 亚伦便伸杖在埃及的诸水以上,青蛙就上来,遮满了埃及

7 行法术的也用他们的邪术照样而行,叫青蛙上了埃及

8 法老召了摩西亚伦来,:请你们求耶和华使这青蛙离开我和我的民,我就容百姓去祭祀耶和华

9 摩西法老:任凭你罢,我要何时为你和你的臣仆并你的百姓祈求,除灭青蛙离开你和你的宫殿只留在河里呢?

10 :明天。摩西:可以照你的罢,好叫你知道没有像耶和华─我们的。

11 青蛙要离开你和你的宫殿,并你的臣仆与你的百姓,只留在河里。

12 於是摩西亚伦离开法老出去。摩西为扰害法老的青蛙呼求耶和华

13 耶和华就照摩西的行。凡在房里、院中、田间的青蛙死了

14 众人把青蛙聚拢成堆,遍就都腥

15 法老见灾祸松缓,就硬着,不肯他们,正如耶和华的。

16 耶和华吩咐摩西:你对亚伦伸出你的杖击打上的尘土,使尘土埃及变作虱子(或译:虼蚤;下同)。

17 他们就这样行。亚伦伸杖击打上的尘土,就在人身上和牲畜身上有了虱子;埃及尘土都变成虱子了。

18 行法术的也用邪术要生出虱子来,却是不能。於是在人身上和牲畜身上都有了虱子。

19 行法术的就对法老:这是的手段。法老里刚硬,不肯摩西、亚伦,正如耶和华的。

20 耶和华摩西:你清起来法老来到边,你站在他面前,对他耶和华这样:容我的百姓去,好事奉我。

21 你若不容我的百姓去,我要叫成群的苍蝇到你和你臣仆并你百姓的身上,进你的房屋,并且埃及人房屋和他们所住的地都要满了成群的苍蝇

22 当那日,我必分别我百姓所住的歌珊,使那里没有成群的苍蝇,好叫你知道我是下的耶和华

23 我要将我的百姓和你的百姓分别出来。明天必有这神迹。

24 耶和华就这样行。苍蝇成了大群,进入法老的宫殿,和他臣仆的房屋埃及就因这成群的苍蝇败坏了。

25 法老召了摩西亚伦来,:你们去,在这祭祀你们的罢!

26 摩西:这样行本不相宜,因为我们要把埃及人所厌恶的祭祀耶和华我们;若把埃及人所厌恶的在他们眼前献为祭,他们岂不拿石头打死我们麽?

27 我们要往旷野去,走的路程,照着耶和华我们所要吩咐我们的祭祀他。

28 法老:我容你们去,在旷野祭祀耶和华─你们的;只是不要走得很远。求你们为我祈祷。

29 摩西:我要出去求耶和华,使成群的苍蝇明天离开法老法老的臣仆并法老的百姓;法老却不可再行诡诈,不容百姓去祭祀耶和华

30 於是摩西离开法老去求耶和华

31 耶和华就照摩西的行,叫成群的苍蝇离开法老和他的臣仆并他的百姓,个也没有留下。

32 这一次法老又硬着,不容百姓去。

Apocalypse Revealed # 504

504. Where also our Lord was crucified. This symbolizes a failure to acknowledge the Lord's Divine humanity, and thus a state in which He is rejected.

It is a saying in the church that people who blaspheme the Lord, crucify Him, and that so, too, do those who, like the Jews, deny that He is the Son of God.

People who deny that the Lord's humanity is Divine are like Jews because everyone views the Lord as a person, and anyone who views His humanity as on par with the humanity of any other person is incapable then of thinking of His Divinity, no matter how often this is called the Son of God, born from eternity, coequal with the Divinity of the Father. When he is told this or hears it read, it penetrates his hearing, indeed, but not at the same time his belief, since he thinks of the Lord as being a material person like any other man, retaining the same properties of the flesh. And because he then sets the Lord's Divinity aside and pays it no attention, he is therefore in the same state as he would be if he denied it; for he denies that the Lord's humanity is the Son of God, even as the Jews did also, for which reason they crucified Him. That the Lord's humanity is nevertheless the Son of God is something plainly said in Luke 1:32, 35, Matthew 3:16-17, and elsewhere.

[2] It is apparent from this why people in the church turn directly to God the Father, and many also to the Holy Spirit, and rarely anyone directly to the Lord.

Since the Jews crucified the Lord owing to their denial that He was the Messiah, the Son of God, therefore their Jerusalem is also called Sodom (Isaiah 3:9, Jeremiah 23:14, Ezekiel 16:46, 48). And the Lord says,

On the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. (Luke 17:29-30)

What the fire and brimstone are may be seen in no. 452, 494.
