Ezekijel 14

Studie

   

1 Uto k meni dođoše neki od starješina Izraelovih i sjedoše preda me.

2 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

3 "Sine čovječji! Ti ljudi nose kumire u srcu i upiru oči u ono što ih na grijeh potiče. Pa zar da trpim da u mene traže savjeta?

4 Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Tko god iz doma Izraelova nosi u srcu kumire i upire oči u ono što ga na grijeh potiče, a dolazi k proroku, ja, Jahve, odgovorit ću mu prema mnoštvu njegovih kumira,

5 da uhvatim za srce dom Izraelov koji se zbog idola svojih odmetnu od mene.'

6 Zato reci domu Izraelovu: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Obratite se, odvratite se od kumira svojih! Odvratite lice od gnusoba svojih!

7 Jer tko se god iz doma Izraelova i od došljaka koji se nastaniše u Izraelu odmetne od mene i u srcu nosi kumire i upire oči u ono što ga potiče na grijeh, pa unatoč tome dođe k proroku da preko njega u mene traži savjeta, njemu ću ja, Jahve, sam odgovoriti;

8 okrenut ću se protiv njega i učinit ću od njega poslovičan primjer: iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda! I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve.

9 Ako li se prorok dadne zavesti i progovori, bilo bi to kao da sam ja, Jahve, zaveo toga proroka: ruku ću podići na njega i iskorijenit ću ga iz svojega naroda izraelskoga.

10 Obojica će podjednako snositi grijeh svoj: grijeh prorokov jednak je grijehu onoga koji je u njega tražio savjeta.

11 I tako se dom Izraelov više neće odmetati od mene i neće se više kaljati svojim opačinama: on će biti narod moj, a ja ću biti njegov Bog' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda."

12 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

13 "Sine čovječji, zgriješi li koja zemlja protiv mene nevjerom i ja podignem ruku na nju te joj uništim i posljednju pričuvu kruha i pustim na nju glad da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku;

14 preostanu li u njoj samo tri čovjeka - Noa, Daniel i Job - ti će se svojom pravednošću spasiti - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.

15 Također, ako na tu zemlju pustim divlje zvijeri da joj djecu unište a nju pretvore u pustinju, kojom se zbog zvijeri više nitko neće usuditi proći;

16 preostanu li u njoj samo ta tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe, a zemlja će njihova postati prava pustinja.

17 Ili, ako ja trgnem mač na tu zemlju govoreći: 'Maču, prođi ovom zemljom!' da istrijebim u njoj sve ljude i stoku,

18 a u njoj se nađu samo ona tri čovjeka, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe.

19 Ili, ako ja pošaljem na tu zemlju kugu te izlijem na nju gnjev i pokolj da zatrem u njoj sve ljude i stoku,

20 a u njoj preostanu samo ona tri čovjeka, Noa, Daniel i Job, života mi moga - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - oni neće spasiti ni sinova ni kćeri nego samo sebe svojom pravednošću."

21 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: "Ipak, ako na Jeruzalem pustim sva svoja četiri ljuta biča - mač, glad, divlju zvjerad i kugu - da zatrem u njemu sve ljude i stoku,

22 u njemu će ipak preživjeti Ostatak koji će spasiti sinove i kćeri. I evo, oni će doći k vama da vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela i da se utješite, jer ćete upoznati: što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema, ne učinih bez razloga.

23 Da, kad vidite njihovo vladanje i njihova djela, utješit ćete se, jer ćete upoznati da ne učinih bez razloga što god poduzeh protiv Jeruzalema - riječ je Jahve Gospoda."

Word

  

'Word,' as in Isaiah 9:8, signifies the doctrine of internal and external worship. 'Word,' as in Psalms 119:6-17, stands for doctrine in general.

'The Word,' as in Psalms 147:18, signifies divine good united with divine truth.

The whole Word is nothing but the doctrine of love towards the Lord, and love towards our neighbor, as in Matthew 22.

Matthew 22

Studie

   

1 Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,

2 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,

3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.

4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!"'

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,

6 and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.

9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'

10 Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing,

12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

14 For many are called, but few chosen."

15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter who you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone.

17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19 Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denarius.

20 He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"

21 They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.

23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

24 saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.'

25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.

26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

27 After them all, the woman died.

28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."

29 But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God's angels in heaven.

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"

37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

42 saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "A Psalm of David."

43 He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?'

45 "If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"

46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.
