耶利米书 44

Studie

   

1 有临到耶利米,论及一切埃及的犹大人,就是在密夺、答比匿、挪弗、巴忒罗境内的犹大人,说:

2 万军之耶和华以色列的如此:我所降与耶路撒冷犹大各城的一切灾祸你们都见了。那些城邑今日荒凉,无人居住

3 这是因居民所行的恶,去烧香事奉别,就是他们和你们,并你们列祖所不认识的,惹我发怒。

4 我从起来差遣我的仆人先知去说,你们切不要行我所厌恶这可憎之事。

5 他们却不从,不侧耳而,不离恶事,仍向别烧香。

6 因此,我的怒气和忿怒都倒出来,在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷的街上,如火着起,以致都荒废凄凉,正如今日一样。

7 现在耶和华─万军之以色列的如此:你们为何作这恶自害己命,使你们的男人妇女、婴孩,和吃奶的都从犹大中剪除、不留一呢?

8 就是因你们所做的,在所去寄居的埃及向别烧香惹我发怒,使你们被剪除,在天下万国中令人咒诅羞辱。

9 你们列祖的恶行,犹大和他们后妃的恶行,你们自己和你们妻子的恶行,就是在犹大耶路撒冷街上所行的,你们都忘了麽?

10 到如今还没有懊悔,没有惧,没有遵行我在你们和你们列祖面前所设立的法度律例。

11 所以万军之耶和华以色列的如此:我必向你们变脸降灾,以致剪除犹大众人。

12 那定意进入埃及、在那里寄居的,就是所剩下的犹大人,我必使他们尽都灭绝,必在埃及仆倒,必因刀饥荒灭绝;从最小的到至的都必遭刀饥荒而,以致令人辱骂、惊骇、咒诅、羞辱。

13 我怎样用刀、饥荒、瘟疫刑罚耶路撒冷,也必照样刑罚那些埃及的犹大人;

14 甚至那进入埃及寄居的,就是所剩下的犹大人,都不得逃脱,也不得存留归回犹大。他们心中甚想归回居住;除了逃脱的以外,一个都不能归回。

15 那些埃及巴忒罗知道自己妻子向别烧香的,与旁边站立的众妇女,聚集成群,回答耶利米

16 论到你奉耶和华的名向我们我们必不从。

17 我们定要成就我们中所出的一切,向后烧香、浇奠祭,按着我们我们列祖、君、首领在犹大的城邑中和耶路撒冷的街上素常所行的一样;因为那时我们吃饱饭、享福乐,并不见灾祸。

18 自从我们停止向后烧香、浇奠祭,我们倒缺乏一切,又因刀饥荒灭绝。

19 妇女:我们向后烧香、浇奠祭,做后像的饼供奉他,向他浇奠祭,是外乎我们的丈夫麽?

20 耶利米对一切那样回答他的男人妇女

21 你们与你们列祖、君、首领,并国内的百姓,在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷上所烧的香,耶和华岂不记念,中岂不思想麽?

22 耶和华因你们所作的恶、所行可憎的事,不能再容忍,所以你们的荒凉,令人惊骇咒诅,无人居住,正如今日一样。

23 你们烧香,得罪耶和华,没有听从他的话,没有遵行他的律法、条例、法度,所以你们遭遇这灾祸,正如今日一样。

24 耶利米又对众民和众妇女:你们在埃及的一切犹大人当耶和华的

25 万军之耶和华以色列的如此:你们和你们的妻都里做,我们定要偿还所许的愿,向后烧香、浇奠祭。现在你们只管坚定所许的愿而偿还罢!

26 所以你们埃及的一切犹大耶和华的耶和华:我指着我的名起誓,在埃及,我的名不再被犹大一个称呼:我指着─永生的耶和华起誓。

27 我向他们留意降祸不降福;在埃及的一切犹大必因刀、饥荒所灭,直到灭尽。

28 脱离刀、从埃及归回犹大的人数很少;那进入埃及要在那里寄居的,就是所剩下的犹大人,必知道是谁的立得住,是我的呢?是他们的呢?

29 耶和华:我在这地方刑罚你们,必有预兆,使你们知道我降祸与你们的必要立得住。

30 耶和华如此:我必将埃及王法老合弗拉交在他仇敌和寻索其命的人中,像我将犹大王西底家交在他仇敌和寻索其命的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒中一样。

10438. 'For evil He led them out, to kill them in the mountains' means that those with whom good exists will be destroyed. This is clear from the meaning of 'leading out to kill' as destroying, though when such words are used in reference to Jehovah, who never destroys anyone, being destroyed by their own evil is meant; and from the meaning of 'the mountains' as heaven, consequently the good of love. The origin of the meaning of 'the mountains' as heaven lies in representatives in the next life. Mountains, hills, rocks, valleys, and many more objects appear there, as on earth; and on the mountains there are those who abide in celestial love, on the hills those who abide in spiritual love, on the rocks those who abide in faith, and in the valleys those who have not as yet been raised up to the good of love and faith.

[2] Consequently by 'mountains' those in whom the good of celestial love exists, and so who inhabit the inmost heaven, are meant, and in the abstract sense forms of the good of celestial love, and so the heaven which abides in that love; by 'hills' those in whom the good of spiritual love exists, and so who inhabit the middle heaven, are meant, and in the abstract sense the good of that love and the heaven which abides in it; by 'rocks' those in whom the good of faith exists, and who consequently inhabit the lowest heaven, are meant, and in the abstract sense that good and that heaven; and by 'valleys' those who have not as yet been raised up to those kinds of good and so to heaven are meant. Because such objects appear in the next life and such realities are consequently meant by them, those objects have a like meaning in the Word, as do the mountains, hills, rocks, and valleys in the land of Canaan, by which heaven in its entirety was therefore represented.

[3] The fact that the heaven where the good of celestial love exists is meant by 'mountains' is evident from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Isaiah,

In the latter days it will be, that the mountain of Jehovah will be on the top of the mountains, and raised above the hills. Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1.

In David,

The mountains will bring peace, and the hills, in righteousness. Psalms 72:3.

In the same author,

Praise Jehovah, mountains and all hills. Psalms 148:7, 9.

In the same author,

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of hills is the mountain of Bashan. Why do you leap up, O mountains, hills of mountains? God desires to inhabit it; yes, Jehovah will inhabit it perpetually. Psalms 68:15-16.

In Moses,

... in regard to the firstfruits of the mountains of the east, and to the precious things of the everlasting hills 1 ... Let them come upon the head of Joseph. Deuteronomy 33:15-16.

Other places besides these contain the same meaning, see 795, 6435, 8327, 8658, 8758, 9422, 9434. All this explains why the Lord came down onto Mount Sinai; why the city of David was built on a mountain, and that mountain, which was called Mount Zion, means the inmost heaven; and also why the ancients performed holy acts of worship on mountains and hills, 2722.
