何西阿书 10

Studie

   

1 以色列是茂盛的葡萄树,结果繁多。果子越多,就越增添祭坛土越肥美,就越造美丽的柱像。

2 他们怀二意,现今要定为有罪。耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛,毁坏他们的柱像。

3 他们必我们没有王,因为我们不敬畏耶和华。王能为我们做甚麽呢?

4 他们为立约说谎言,起假誓;因此,灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中。

5 撒玛利亚的居民必因伯亚文的牛犊惊恐;崇拜牛犊的民和喜爱牛犊的祭司都必因荣耀离开他,为他悲哀。

6 牛犊带到亚述当作礼物,献给耶雷布王。以法莲必蒙羞;以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧。

7 至於撒玛利亚,他的王必灭没,如面的沫子一样。

8 伯亚文的邱─就是以色列的地方必被毁灭;荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上。他们必对大:遮盖我们!对小:倒在我们身上!

9 以色列啊,你从基比亚的日子以来时常犯罪。你们的先人曾站在那里,现今住基比亚的人以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己。

10 我必随意惩罚他们。他们为两样的罪所缠;列邦的民必聚集攻击他们。

11 以法莲是驯良的母牛犊,喜踹谷,我却将轭加在他肥美的颈项上,我要使以法莲拉套(或作:被)。犹大必耕田;雅各地。

12 你们要为自己栽种公,就能收割慈爱。现今正是寻求耶和华的时候;你们要开垦荒地,等他临到,使公如雨降在你们身上。

13 你们耕种的是奸恶,收割的是罪孽,的是谎话的果子。因你倚靠自己的行为,仰赖勇士众多,

14 所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声,你一切的保障必被拆毁,就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯亚比勒,将其中的母子一同摔死。

15 因他们的大恶,伯特利必使你们遭遇如此。到了黎明,以色列的王必全然灭绝。

Love correspondence

  
tiny hand my love, by Jenny Stein

To some degree, there really is no spiritual meaning to the word “love” in the Bible. Why? Because if you truly love another, that is already a spiritual state. To put it simply, the Lord is Love Itself, a perfect and infinite love that is the source of all actual life and substance in the universe. Thus everything we are and everything we experience is a product of the Lord's love; there is no way for us to have any love from ourselves that is not ultimately the Lord's love, because the Lord's love is everything. When we feel love, what we're really doing is opening ourselves to be a conduit for the Lord's love -- truly a spiritual state. This also means that the more we can align our love with the Lord's love, the stronger our experience of love will be. The Lord's love is a constant desire to be conjoined with us, to be able to love us fully while protecting our right to choose. So the more we try to love that way, the more in harmony with Him we will be and the more powerful our feelings of love will be. In a general sense, then, most uses of “love” in the Bible represent a desire for union, connection, powered, and enriched by the Lord.

In Matthew 6:24, this signifies celestial of love. (Arcana Coelestia 3875[3])

In Malachi 2:11, this signifies to conjoin oneself with falsity. (Arcana Coelestia 4434[3])
