Joel 1

Studie

1 Riječ Jahvina koja dođe Joelu, sinu Petuelovu.

2 Čujte ovo, starci, počujte, svi žitelji zemlje! Je li ovakvo što ikad bilo u vaše dane il' u dane vaših otaca?

3 Recite ovo svojim sinovima, vaši sinovi svojim sinovima, a njihovi sinovi potonjem koljenu.

4 Što ostavi šaška, proždrije skakavac, što ostavi skakavac, proždrije gusjenica, što ostavi gusjenica, proždrije ljupilac.

5 Probudite se, pijanice, i plačite! Sve vinopije, tužite za novim vinom: iz usta vam je oteto.

6 Jer prekri moju zemlju narod moćan i bezbrojan; zubi su mu kao zubi lavlji, očnjaci mu kao u lavice.

7 Opustoši mi lozu vinovu i polomi smokve moje; oguli ih i razbaca, grane su im pobijeljele.

8 Plačite k'o djevica odjevena u kostrijet za zaručnikom svojim.

9 Nestade prinosnice i ljevanice iz Doma Jahvina. Tuže svećenici, sluge Jahvine.

10 Opustošeno polje, zemlja poharana. Poharano žito, vino propade, presahnu ulje.

11 Tugujte, težaci, kukajte, vinogradari, za pšenicom i za ječmom, jer propade žetva poljska.

12 Loza usahnu, uvenu smokva, mogranj, palma i jabuka: svako se drvo poljsko sasuši. Da, nestade radosti između sinova ljudskih.

13 Svećenici, opašite kostrijet i tužite! Službenici žrtvenika, naričite! Dođite, prenoćite u kostrijeti, službenici Boga mojeg! Jer iz Doma Boga našeg nesta prinosnice i ljevanice!

14 Naredite sveti post, proglasite zbor svečani; starješine, saberite sve stanovnike zemlje u kuću Jahve, Boga svojeg. Zavapijte Jahvi:

15 "Jao dana!" Jer Jahvin dan je blizu i dolazi k'o pohara od Svevišnjeg.

16 Ne iščeznu li hrana pred našim očima? Nije li nestalo radosti i sreće iz Doma Boga našega?

17 Istrunu zrnje pod grudama; puste su žitnice, porušene spreme jer žita nesta.

18 Kako li stoka uzdiše! Krda goveda podivljala lutaju jer im nema paše. Čak i stada ovaca kaznu podnose.

19 Tebi, Jahve, vapijem: oganj popali pašnjake pustinjske, plamen sažga sva stabla poljska.

20 Čak i zvijeri čeznu za tobom, jer presušiše potoci, oganj popali pašnjake pustinjske.

Apocalypse Explained # 414

/ 1232  
  

414. And who is able to stand? signifies, who shall sustain and live? This is evident from the signification of standing, when it is before the Lord, as meaning to sustain and live, here, not able to sustain it and live; for, as was said above, the evil, from the influx and consequent presence of the Lord, that is, of Divine good and Divine truth going out and proceeding from Him with power and might, come not only into the tremors from fear, but also into torments from interior conflict, consequently unless they flee away and cast themselves down they cannot live, for from fear and torment death as it were befalls them, for the presence of the Divine brings death to the evil as it brings life to the good. From this their state it is then said, "Who is able to stand?" As also in Malachi:

Who sustaineth the day of His coming, and who shall stand when He shall appear (Malachi 3:2)?

In Nahum:

Who shall stand before His indignation; and who shall stand up in the glow of His anger (Nahum 1:6)?

And in Joel:

The day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who shall sustain it? (Joel 2:11).

Moreover, "to stand," like walking and sitting, in the Word signifies to be and to live; and "to stand," has a similar meaning with to stand firm and stand still. As in Luke:

The angel answered Zachariah, I am Gabriel, that standeth before God (Luke 1:19).

And in the same:

Be wakeful at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to stand before the Son of man (Luke 21:36).

And elsewhere. And as "to stand" also signifies to be, it is said of Jehovah, in Isaiah:

Jehovah hath stood up to plead, and standeth to judge (Isaiah 3:13).

And in David:

God stood in the congregation of God; He shall judge in the midst of the gods (Psalms 82:1).

But why "to stand" signifies to be shall be told elsewhere.
