何西阿书 6

Studie

   

1 来罢,我们归向耶和华!他撕裂我们,也必医治;他打伤我们,也必缠裹。

2 过两他必使我们苏醒,第三他必使我们兴起,我们就在他面前得以存活。

3 我们务要认识耶和华,竭力追求认识他。他出现确如晨光,他必临到我们像甘,像滋润田的春

4 主说:以法莲哪,我可向你怎样行呢?犹大啊,我可向你怎样做呢?因为你们的良善如同早晨雾,又如速散的甘

5 因此,我藉先知砍伐他们,以我中的杀戮他们;我施行的审判如发出。

6 我喜爱良善(或译:怜恤),不喜爱祭祀;喜爱认识,胜於燔祭。

7 他们却如亚当背约,在境内向我行事诡诈。

8 基列是作孽之人的城,被血沾染。

9 强盗成群,怎样埋伏杀祭司结党,也照样在示剑的上杀戮,行了邪恶。

10 以色列家,我见了可憎的事;在以法莲那里有淫行,以色列被玷污。

11 犹大啊,我使被掳之民归回的时候,必有为你所命定的收场。

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.

Daniel 10:1-3

Studie

      

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.

3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
