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。

Apocalypse Revealed # 584

584. 13:6 Then it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God and His name. This symbolizes their assertions, which are scandalous, against the Divine itself and the Lord's Divine humanity, and at the same time against everything that the church has from the Word by which the Lord is worshiped.

Its opening its mouth in blasphemies symbolizes assertions which are falsehoods. A mouth symbolizes doctrine, preaching and discourse (no. 452). Therefore to open the mouth means, symbolically, to utter those falsehoods. Blasphemies symbolize falsifications of the Word and more, as said in nos. 571, 582 above, here scandalous assertions as well, because the phrase follows, "against God and His name." God symbolizes the Lord's Divinity, as is the case often elsewhere in the book of Revelation. And His name symbolizes everything by which the Lord is worshiped, including the Word, because worship is conducted in accordance with it (no. 81).

That the name of Jehovah or of God symbolizes the Lord's Divine humanity and at the same time the Word, as well as everything by which He is worshiped, can become further seen from the following passages:

(Jesus said,) "Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again." (John 12:28)

(Jesus said,) "I have manifested Your name to... men... and I have made known to them Your name...." (John 17:6, 26)

Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name... And the Word became flesh... (John 1:1, 12, 14)

(Jesus said,) ."..he who does not believe (in Him) is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)

In the second commandment of the Decalogue, the name of Jehovah God that is not to be profaned, and in the Lord's Prayer, the name of the Father that is to be hallowed, have precisely this meaning.
