耶利米书 50

Studie

   

1 耶和华先知耶利米论巴比伦和迦勒底人

2 你们要在万国中传扬报告,竖立大旗;要报告,不可隐瞒,:巴比伦被攻取,彼勒蒙羞,米罗达惊惶。巴比伦的像都蒙羞;他的偶像都惊惶。

3 因有一国从北方上来攻击他,使他的荒凉,无人居住,连人带牲畜都逃走了。

4 耶和华:当那日子、那时候,以色列人要和犹大人同,随走随哭,寻求耶和华─他们的

5 他们必访问锡安,又面向这里,说:罢,你们要与耶和华联合为永远不忘的约。

6 我的百姓作了迷失的,牧人使他们走差,使他们上。他们从大走到小,竟忘了安歇之处。

7 凡遇见他们的,就把他们吞灭。敌人:我们没有罪;因他们得罪那作公居所的耶和华,就是他们列祖所仰望的耶和华

8 我民哪,你们要从巴比伦中逃走,从迦勒底人出去,要像羊群前面走的公山

9 因我必激动联合的国从北方上来攻击巴比伦,他们要摆阵攻击他;他必从那里被攻取。他们的好像善射之勇士的,一枝也不徒然返回

10 迦勒底必成为掠物;凡掳掠他的都必心满意足。这是耶和华的。

11 抢夺我产业的啊,你们因欢喜快乐,且像踹谷撒欢的母牛犊,又像发嘶声的壮马。

12 你们的母巴比伦就极其抱愧,生你们的必然蒙羞。他要列在诸国之末,成为旷野、旱地、沙漠。

13 耶和华的忿怒,必无人居住,要全然荒凉。凡经过巴比伦的要受惊骇,又因他所遭的灾殃嗤笑。

14 所有拉的,你们要在巴比伦的四围摆阵,射攻击他。不要爱惜枝,因他得罪了耶和华

15 你们要在他四围呐;他已经投降。外郭坍塌了,城墙拆毁了,因为这是耶和华报仇的事。你们要向巴比伦报仇;他怎样待人,也要怎样待他。

16 你们要将巴比伦撒种的和收割时拿镰刀的都剪除了。他们各因怕欺压的刀,必归回本族,逃到本土。

17 以色列是打散的羊,是被狮子赶出的。首先是亚述王将他吞灭,末後是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将他的骨头折断。

18 所以万军之耶和华以色列的如此:我必罚巴比伦王和他的,像我从前罚亚述王一样。

19 我必再领以色列回他的草场,他必在迦密和巴珊吃草,又在以法莲上和基列境内得以饱足

20 耶和华:当那日子、那时候,虽寻以色列的孽,一无所有;虽寻犹大罪恶,也无所见;因为我所留下的人,我必赦免。

21 耶和华:上去攻击米拉大翁之,又攻击比割的居民。要追杀灭尽,照我一切所吩咐你的去行。

22 境内有打仗和毁灭的响声。

23 的大锤何竟砍断坏?巴比伦在列国中何竟荒凉?

24 巴比伦哪,我为你设下网罗,你不知不觉被缠住。你被寻着,也被捉住;因为你与耶和华争竞。

25 耶和华已经开了,拿出他恼恨的兵器;因为─万军之耶和华迦勒底人有当做的事。

26 你们要从极远的边界攻击他,开他的仓廪,将他堆如高堆,毁灭净尽,丝毫不留。

27 要杀他的一切牛犊,使他们去遭遇杀戮。他们有祸了,因为追讨他们的日子已经到。

28 (有从巴比伦之逃避出来的人,在锡安扬声报告耶和华─我们的报仇,就是为他的殿报仇。)

29 招集一切弓箭手来攻击巴比伦。要在巴比伦四围安营,不要容一人逃脱,照着他所做的报应他;他怎样待人,也要怎样待他,因为他向耶和华以色列的圣者发了狂傲。

30 所以他的少年人必仆倒在街上。当那日,一切兵丁必默默无声。这是耶和华的。

31 ─万军之耶和华:你这狂傲的啊,我与你反对,因为我追讨你的日子已经到。

32 狂傲的必绊跌仆倒,无人扶起。我也必使在他的城邑中里起来,将他四围所有的尽行烧灭。

33 万军之耶和华如此以色列人犹大人一同受欺压;凡掳掠他们的都紧紧抓住他们,不肯释放。

34 他们的大有能力,万军之耶和华是他的名。他必伸清他们的冤,好使全得平安,并搅扰巴比伦的居民

35 耶和华:有刀临到迦勒底人和巴比伦的居民,并他的首领与智慧人。

36 有刀临到矜夸的人,他们就成为愚昧;有刀临到他的勇士,他们就惊惶。

37 有刀临到他的马匹、车辆,和其中杂族的人民;他们必像妇女一样。有刀临到他的宝物,就被抢夺。

38 有乾旱临到他的众水,就必乾涸;因为这是有雕刻偶像之,人因偶像而颠狂。

39 所以旷野的走兽和豺狼必在那里,鸵鸟也在其中,永无人烟,世世代无人居住

40 耶和华:必无在那里,也无在其中寄居,要像我倾覆所多玛、蛾摩拉,和邻近的城邑一样。

41 看哪,有一种民从北方,并有一国和许多被激动,从到。

42 他们拿和枪,性情残忍,不施怜悯,他们的声音浪匉訇。巴比伦城阿,〔城原文作女子〕他们,都摆队伍如上战场的,要攻击你。

43 巴比伦王见他们的风声,就发软,痛苦将他抓住,疼痛彷佛产难的妇人。

44 仇敌必像狮子从约但河边的丛林上来,攻击坚固的居所。转眼之间,我要使他们逃跑,离开这地。谁蒙拣选,我就派谁治理这地。谁能比我呢?谁能给我定规日期呢?有何牧人能在我面前站立得住呢?

45 你们要耶和华攻击巴比伦所说的谋略和他攻击迦勒底人所定的旨意。仇敌定要将他们众微弱的拉去,定要使他们的居所荒凉。

46 因巴比伦被取的声音就震动,人在列邦都见呼喊的声音

Apocalypse Explained # 704

/ 1232  
  

704. And great hail, signifies infernal falsity destroying the truths and goods of the church. This is evident from the signification of "hail," as being infernal falsity destroying the truths of the church (of which above, n. 503; and as it is called a "great hail," and "great" is predicated of good, and "many" of truth (See above, n. 652, 696, so "great hail" signifies also infernal falsity destroying the goods of the church. Besides lightnings, thunders, and an earthquake, great hail also was seen, because in the spiritual world there appear all the things that are in the natural world, as mists, clouds, rains, snow, and hail, and these though appearances are nevertheless real, arising from correspondences; for the celestial and spiritual Divine things that belong to the affections and the thoughts therefrom, thus to the good of love and the truth of that good with angels, when they descend into the next lower sphere put on forms like those of natural things, and thus present themselves before the eyes to be seen; thus correspondences are formed. So is it with lightnings, thunders, and hail. For this hail is formed by the flowing down of Divine truth where the evil are, who by reasonings draw false conclusions, and by these oppose truths and destroy them. For when Divine truth flows down out of the heavens into the sphere that is about the evil and that appears like a mist formed from their evil affections and from the resulting falsities of their thoughts, then that influx is turned into various things, and into hail with those who think from evils and falsities in opposition to the goods and truths of heaven and the church, and who violently assault them. The reason of this is that their affections and the thoughts therefrom, which are of falsity against truths, are destitute of all heavenly heat; therefore the rain which also falls down out of the heavens into the lower parts congeals into snow or into hail, and that hail destroys all things with them that are green and growing, and also their dwelling places, just like it is said of the hail in Egypt. The hail destroys because the things that are "green and growing" signify the truths of the church, and "the dwelling places" its goods, which such destroy with themselves. This takes place, as has been said, according to correspondence. Moreover, the hail appears congealed into larger or smaller grains according to their stronger or milder attacks upon truths by falsities; the larger grains are called in the Word "hail-stones," because "stones" also signify falsities. From this it can now be seen why "great hail" signifies infernal falsity destroying the truths and goods of the church.
