何西阿書 12

Studie

   

1 以法蓮,且追趕東,時常增添虛謊和強暴,與亞述立約,把送到埃及

2 耶和華猶大爭辯,必照雅各所行的懲罰他,按他所做的報應他。

3 他在腹中抓住哥哥的腳跟,壯年的時候與較力,

4 天使較力,並且得勝,哭泣懇求,在伯特利遇見耶和華。耶和華─萬軍之神在那裡曉諭我們以色列人;耶和華是他可記念的名。

5 a

6 所以你當歸向你的,謹守仁愛、公平,常常等候你的

7 以法蓮是商人,裡有詭詐的天平欺騙

8 以法蓮:我果然成了富足,得了財寶;我所勞碌得來的,人必不見有甚麼不義,可算為罪的。

9 自從你出埃及以來,我就是耶和華─你的;我必使你再帳棚,如在大會的日子一樣。

10 我已曉諭眾先知,並且加增默示,藉先知設立比喻。

11 基列人沒有罪孽麼?他們全然是虛假的。人在吉甲獻牛犢為祭,他們的祭壇好像田間犁溝中的亂

12 從前雅各逃到亞蘭地,以色列為得妻服事人,為得妻與人放羊。

13 耶和華先知以色列埃及上來;以色列也藉先知而得保存。

14 以法蓮大大惹動怒,所以他流血的罪必歸在他身上。必將那因以法蓮所受的羞辱歸還他。

民數記 12

Studie

   

1 摩西娶了古實女子為妻。米利暗和亞倫因他所娶的古實女子,就毀謗他,

2 難道耶和華單與摩西說話,不也與我們說話麼?這話耶和華見了。

3 摩西極其謙和,勝過世上的眾

4 耶和華忽然對摩西亞倫、米利暗:你們個人都出來,到會幕這裡。他們個人就出來了。

5 耶和華中降臨,站在會幕口,召亞倫和米利暗,人就出來了。

6 耶和華:你們且我的:你們中間若有先知,我─耶和華必在異象中向他顯現,在夢中與他說話

7 我的僕人摩西不是這樣;他是在我全家盡忠的。

8 我要與他面對面說話,乃是明,不用謎語,並且他必見我的形像。你們毀謗我的僕人摩西,為何不懼呢?

9 耶和華就向他們二人發怒而去。

10 彩從會幕上挪開了,不料,米利暗長了大痲瘋,有那樣白,亞倫一看米利暗長了大痲瘋,

11 就對摩西:我阿,求你不要因我們愚昧犯,便將這加在我們身上。

12 求你不要使他像那出母腹、已半爛的胎。

13 於是摩西哀求耶和華:神阿,求你醫治他!

14 耶和華摩西:他父親若吐唾沫在他臉上,他豈不蒙羞麼?現在要把他在,然才可以領他進來。

15 於是米利暗鎖在。百姓沒有行路,直等到把米利暗領進來。

16 百姓從哈洗錄起行,在巴蘭的曠野安營。

Apocalypse Revealed # 34

34. I was on the island called Patmos. This symbolizes a state and place in which he could be enlightened.

The revelation to John occurred on Patmos because it was an island in Greece, not far from the land of Canaan, and between Asia and Europe; and islands symbolize nations relatively removed from the worship of God, but which will yet accede to it, because they can be enlightened. Greece has a similar meaning. But the church itself is meant by the land of Canaan. Asia symbolizes those of the church who from the Word have the light of truth, and Europe those to whom the Word will come. The island of Patmos accordingly symbolizes a state and place in which John could be enlightened.

That islands in the Word symbolize nations relatively removed from the worship of God, but which will yet accede to it, is apparent from the following passages:

In the Urim honor Jehovah, in the islands of the sea the name of... the God of Israel. (Isaiah 24:14)

He will not extinguish nor break in pieces till He has set judgment in the earth, and the islands hope in His law... Sing to Jehovah a new song..., let the islands and the inhabitants of them... give glory to Jehovah, and declare His praise in the islands. (Isaiah 42:4, 10, 12)

Listen, O islands, to Me, and... you peoples from afar! (Isaiah 49:1)

The islands will hope in Me, and on My arm they will trust. (Isaiah 51:5)

...In Me the islands will trust, and the ships of Tarshish... (Isaiah 60:9)

Hear the words of Jehovah, O nations, and declare them in the islands afar off. (Jeremiah 31:10)

...that they may worship Jehovah, each one in his place, all the islands of the nations. (Zephaniah 2:11)

And elsewhere.

That Greece has also a similar meaning is not so apparent from the Word, because Greece is mentioned only in Daniel 8:21; 10:20; 11:2, 1 as also in John 12:20, Mark 7:26. 2

That the land of Canaan means the Lord's church, which is therefore called "the Holy Land" and "the heavenly Canaan," is apparent from many places in the Word.

That Asia means those in the church who from the Word have the light of truth, may be seen in no. 11 above. And that Europe means those to whom the Word will come, follows.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Greece is mentioned in [NCBSP: Zechariah 9:13] too, but it was not so translated in the 1696 Latin Bible of Sebastian Schmidt, which the writer regularly used.

2. The references here, as elsewhere, are to Greeks, rather than Greece.
