Jeremias 47

Studie

   

1 HE ENs Ord, som kom til profeten Jeremias om filistrene, før Farao slog Gaza.

2 siger HE EN: Se, Vande stiger fra Nord, de bliver en Strøm, der svømmer over, de oversvømmer Landet og dets Fylde, Byerne og dem, som bor der. Menneskene skriger og jamrer, alle, som bor i Landet.

3 For Lyden af hans Hingstes Hovslag, hans Vognes Drøn, hans raslende Hjul får Fædre ej set efter Bøm, thi Hænderne er slappe,

4 nu Dagen er kommet at ødelægge alle Filistre, at udrydde hver Hjælper, som levnes Tyrus og Zidon; thi HE EN ødelægger Filisterne, esten af Kaftors Ø.

5 Skaldet er Gaza blevet, Askalon tilintetgjort. Du est af Anakiter, hvor længe vil du såre dig?

6 Ve, HE ENs Sværd, hvornår vil du falde til o? Far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!

7 Hvorledes får det o, når HE EN opbød det mod Askalon og Havets Strand og stævned det did?

58. "And am He who lives." (1:18) This symbolically means, who alone is life, and the only source of life.

In the Word of the Old Testament, Jehovah calls Himself living and one who lives, because He alone has life; for He is love itself and wisdom itself, and these constitute life.

That there is only one life, namely God, and that angels and people are recipients of life from Him, is something we showed many times in Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Love and Wisdom.

Jehovah calls Himself living and one who lives in Isaiah 38:18-19, Ezekiel 5:11.

The Lord is life also in respect to His Divine humanity, because the Father and He are one. Therefore He says,

...as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given the Son to have life in Himself... (John 5:26)

Jesus said..., "I am the resurrection and the life." (John 11:25)

Jesus said..., "I am the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6)

In the beginning was the Word..., and God was the Word... In Him was life... And the Word became flesh... (John 1:1-4, 14)

Because the Lord alone is life, it follows that He is the only source of life. Therefore He says, Because I live, you will live also. (John 14:19)
