Danijel 12

Studie

   

1 U ono će vrijeme ustati Mihael, veliki knez koji štiti sinove tvog naroda. Bit će to vrijeme tjeskobe kakve ne bijaše otkako je ljudi pa do toga vremena. U ono vrijeme tvoj će se narod spasiti - svi koji se nađu zapisani u Knjizi.

2 Tada će se probuditi mnogi koji snivaju u prahu zemljinu; jedni za vječni život, drugi za sramotu, za vječnu gadost.

3 Umnici će blistati kao sjajni nebeski svod, i koji su mnoge učili pravednosti, kao zvijezde navijeke, u svu vječnost.

4 A ti, Daniele, drži u tajnosti ove riječi i zapečati ovu knjigu do vremena svršetka! Mnogi će tumarati, i bezakonja će rasti."

5 Ja, Daniel, pogledah, kad eno: druga dvojica stajahu jedan s jedne, drugi s druge strane rijeke.

6 Jedan upita čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke: "Kada će doći kraj tim čudesima?"

7 Začuh čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine, koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke; on podiže k nebu desnicu i ljevicu, kunući se Vječno živim. "Nakon jednog vremena, dva vremena i pola vremena - kada dođe kraj rasulu snage svetoga naroda - sve će se to svršiti."

8 Ja slušah, ali ne razumjeh, pa upitah: "Gospodaru, kako će to svršiti?"

9 On reče: "Idi, Daniele, ove su riječi tajne i zapečaćene do vremena svršetka.

10 Mnogi će se očistiti, ubijeliti i prokušati; a bezbožnici će i dalje biti bezbožni; bezbožnici se neće urazumjeti, a umnici će razumjeti.

11 Od časa kad bude dokinuta svagdašnja žrtva i postavljena grozota pustoši: tisuću dvjesta i devedeset dana.

12 Blago onomu koji dočeka i dosegne tisuću trista trideset i pet dana!

13 A ti idi i otpočini; ustat ćeš da primiš svoju baštinu na kraju dana."

652. The Lord imputes good to everyone and evil to none, and consequently His judgment sends no one to hell, but raises all to heaven in so far as a person follows. This is established by His own words:

Jesus said, When I am raised up from the earth, I shall draw all to myself, John 12:32.

God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is already judged, John 3:17-18.

If anyone has heard my words, yet has not believed, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who despises me and does not receive my words has that which judges him. The word which I have spoken will judge him on the last day, John 12:47-48.

Jesus said, I judge no one, John 8:15.

Judgment here and elsewhere in the Word means being sent by judgment to hell, which is damnation. In speaking of salvation the term judgment is not used, but resurrection to life (John 5:24, 29; 3:18).

[2] The word which will judge means truth; and it is a truth that all evil is from hell, and so evil and hell are one. When therefore the wicked person is raised by the Lord towards heaven, then his evil drags him down, and because he loves evil, he follows of his own accord. It is also a truth contained in the Word that good is heaven. When therefore the good person is raised by the Lord towards heaven, he climbs up as if of his own accord, and is brought inside. These are those who are said to be 'written in the Book of Life' (Daniel 12:1; Revelation 13:8; 20:12, 15; 17:8; 21:27).

[3] There is in fact a sphere continuously radiated by the Lord, which raises all to heaven; this fills the whole of both the spiritual and natural worlds. It is like a strong current in the ocean, which invisibly draws a ship along. All who believe in the Lord and live in accordance with His commandments come within that sphere or current, and are raised up. But those who do not believe are unwilling to come within it, but take themselves off to one side or the other, and are there swept away by the stream bound for hell.
