Hošea 8

Studie

   

1 Trublju na usta, poput stražara na Domu Jahvinu; jer oni moj Savez prestupiše, otpadoše od moga Zakona.

2 Meni viču: "Poznajemo te, Bože Izraelov."

3 Ali je Izrael odbacio dobro, dušman će ga progoniti.

4 Kraljeve su postavljali bez mene, knezove birali bez znanja moga. Od srebra svog i zlata načiniše sebi kumire da budu uništeni.

5 Odbacih tvoje tele, Samarijo, na njih se gnjev moj rasplamtio. Dokle će ostati nečisti sinovi Izraelovi?

6 Umjetnik ga je neki načinio, i ono Bog nije. Prometnut će se u komadiće tele samarijsko.

7 Posijali su vjetar, i požet će oluju; žito im neće proklijati, neće brašna dati; ako ga i dade proždrijet će ga tuđinci.

8 Progutan je Izrael, evo ga među narodima poput nevrijedne posude;

9 jer otiđoše k Asircu, divljem magarcu što sam živi! Efrajim obdaruje milosnike.

10 Neka ih samo obdaruje, među narode ću ih sada razasuti: i doskora će uzdrhtati pod teretom kralja knezova.

11 Žrtvenike je umnožio Efrajim, za grijeh su mu oni poslužili.

12 Da mu i tisuću zakona svojih napišem, oni ih smatraju tuđima.

13 Nek' žrtvuju klanice što mi ih prinose, nek' samo jedu meso! Jahvi se ne mile. Odsad će se spominjati bezakonja njihova i njihove će kazniti grijehe: u Egipat će se oni vratiti.

14 Izrael je zaboravio tvorca svoga i sebi dvorove sagradio; Juda je namnožio gradove tvrde. Oganj ću pustiti na gradove njegove; vatra će mu dvorove progutati.

God

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.
