Amos 8

Studie

   

1 Således lod Herren mig skue: Se, der var en kurv sommerfrugt.

2 Og han sagde: "Hvad ser du, Amos?" Jeg svarede: "En kurv Sommerfrugt!" Da sagde HE EN til mig: "Enden er kommet for mit Folk Israel; jeg vil ikke længer bære over med det."

3 Paladsets Sangerinder skal jamre på denne Dag, så lyder det fra den Herre HE EN. Dynger af Lig er henkastet alle Vegne.

4 Hør, I, som knuser de fattige, gør det af med de arme i Landet

5 og siger: "Hvornår er Nymånen omme, så vi kan få solgt noget Korn, Sabbaten, så vi kan åbne vort Kornsalg, gøre Efaen lille og Sekelen stor og med Svig gøre Vægten falsk

6 for at købe den ringe for Sølv, den fattige for et Par Sko og få Afaldskornet solgt?"

7 HE EN svor ved Jakobs Stolthed: Aldrig glemmer jeg een af deres Gerninger!

8 Jorden ej skælve derover og enhver, som bor på den, sørge? Den stiger overalt som Nilen og synker som Ægyptens Flod.

9 På hin Dag lader jeg det ske, så lyder det fra den Herre HE EN, at Solen går ned ved Middag, og Jorden bliver mørk ved højlys Dag.

10 Jeg vender eders Fester til Sorg og alle eders Sange til klage, lægger Sæk om alle Lænder, gør hvert et Hoved skaldet, bringer Sorg som over en enbåren, en bitter Dag til sidst.

11 Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN, da jeg sender Hunger i Landet, ikke Hunger efter Brød, ikke Tørst efter Vand, men efter at høre HE ENs Ord.

12 Da vanker de fra Hav til Hav, flakker fra Nord til Øst for at søge HE ENs Ord, men finder det ej.

13 Den Dag vansmægter af Tørst de fagre Jomfruer og unge Mænd,

14 som sværger ved Samarias Synd, som siger: "Ved din Gud, o Dan!" "Ved din Skytsgud, o Be'ersjeba!" de skal falde, ej mere stå op.

3692. 'And he came upon a place' means a state. This is clear from the meaning of 'a place' as a state, dealt with in 1273-1275, 1377, 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387.

1273. POSITION IN THE GRAND MAN, ALSO PLACE AND DISTANCE IN THE NEXT LIFE

When the time has come to allow souls recently arrived from the world to leave the company of spiritual angels in order to enter that of spirits and at length to enter the community which they were in during their lifetime, they are carried by angels around to many dwelling-places, which are separate communities yet joined to others. At each place they are taken in and then move on to other communities. This continues for some time until they reach the community which they were in during their lifetime; and there they stay. This marks a new beginning to their life. If someone is an impostor, a hypocrite, or deceitful - one who is able to assume a deceptive state and a seemingly angelic disposition - he is sometimes received by good spirits. But in a little while the association is broken, and then he wanders around unaccompanied by the angels, and begs to be received. He is however rejected, and sometimes punished, till at length he comes down to be among those in hell. Those who, after they have been vastated, are borne away to be among angels - they too pass from one community to another. And when they move on from one to another, those whom they are leaving allow them to go with civility and charity; and this continues until they reach the angelic community that accords with their own kind of charity, true piety, honesty, or genuine civility. So that I might know about all this I too have been conducted in a similar way through those dwelling-places, and those who are there have talked to me. I was at that time allowed to reflect on changes of place, that they were merely apparent, and that they were nothing else than changes of state, with the body remaining where it was.
