Zakarias 14

Studie

   

1 Se, en Dag kommer, HE ENs Dag, da dit Bytte skal deles i dig.

2 Da samler jeg alle Folkene til Angreb på Jerusalem; Byen indtages, Husene plyndres, Kvinderne skændes, og Halvdelen af Byens Indbyggere vandrer i Landflygtighed; men esten af Folket skal ikke udryddes af Byen.

3 Og HE EN drager ud og strider mod disse Folk, som han fordum stred på Kampens bag.

4 På hin Dag står hans Fødder på Oliebjerget østen for Jerusalem, og Oliebjerget skal revne midt over fra Øst til Vest og danne en vældig Dal, idet Bjergets ene Halvdel viger mod Nord, den anden mod Syd.

5 I skal flygte til mine Bjerges Dal, thi Bjergdalen når til Azal. I skal fly, som l flyede for Jordskælvet i Kong Uzzija af Judas Dage. Og HE EN min Gud kommer og alle de Hellige med ham.

6 På hin Dag skal der ikke være Hede eller Kulde og Frost.

7 Det skal være een eneste Dag - HE EN kender den - ikke Dag og Nat; det skal være lyst ved Aftentide.

8 På hin Dag skal rindende Vand vælde frem fra Jerusalem; det halve løber ud i Havet mod Øst, det halve i Havet mod Vest, og det både Sommer og Vinter.

9 Og HE EN skal være Konge over hele Jorden. På hin Dag skal HE EN være een og hans Navn eet.

10 Og hele Landet bliver en Slette fra Geba til immon i Sydlandet; men Jerusalem skal ligge højt på sit gamle Sted. Fra Benjaminsporten til den gamle Ports Sted, til Hjørneporten, og fra Hanan'eltårnet til de kongelige Vinperser skal det være beboet.

11 Der skal ikke mere lægges Band derpå, og Jerusalem skal ligge trygt.

12 Men dette skal være den Plage, HE EN lader ramme alle de Folkeslag, som drager i Leding mod Jerusalem: han lader Kødet rådne på dem i levende Live, Øjnene rådner i deres Øjenhuler og Tungen i deres Mund.

13 På hin Dag skal en vældig HE ENs ædsel opstå iblandt dem, så de griber fat i og løfter Hånd mod hverandre.

14 Også Juda skal stride i Jerusalem. Og alle Folkenes igdom skal samles trindt om fra, Guld, Sølv og Klæder i såre store Måder.

15 Og samme Plage skal ramme Heste, Muldyr, Kameler, Æsler og alt Kvæg i Lejrene der.

16 Men alle de, der bliver tilbage af alle Folkene, som kommer imod Jerusalem, skal År efter År drage derop for at tilbede Kongen, Hærskarers HE E, og fejre Løvhyttefest.

17 Og dersom nogen af Jordens Slægter ikke drager op til Jerusalem for at tilbede Kongen, Hærskarers HE E, skal der ikke falde egn hos dem.

18 Og dersom Ægyptens Slægt ikke drager derop og kommer derhen, så skal de rammes af den Plage, HE EN lader ramme Folkene.

19 Det er Straffen over Ægypterne og alle de Folk, som ikke drager op for at fejre Løvhyttefest.

20 På hin Dag skal der stå på Hestenes Bjælder "Helliget HE EN". Og Gryderne i HE ENs Hus skal være som Offerskålene for Alteret;

21 hver Gryde i Jerusalem og Juda skal være helliget Hærskarers HE E, så alle de ofrende kan komme og tage af dem og koge deri. Og på hin Dag skal der ikke mere være nogen Kana'anæer i Hærskarers HE Es Hus.

82. (i) JEHOVAH GOD CAME DOWN AND TOOK UPON HIMSELF HUMAN FORM, IN ORDER TO REDEEM AND SAVE MANKIND.

Christian churches today believe that God the Creator of the universe fathered a Son from eternity, who came down and took upon Himself human form to redeem and save mankind. But this is an error and collapses of its own accord, so long as the mind concentrates on the oneness of God, and the reason looks upon as fiction or worse the idea that the one God fathered a Son from eternity, and also that God the Father together with the Son and the Holy Spirit, each of whom is severally God, is one God. This fiction is utterly exploded, like a meteorite in the atmosphere, when it is shown from the Word that it was Jehovah God Himself who came down and became man and also was the Redeemer.

[2] The first point, that it was Jehovah God Himself who came down and became man, is established by these passages:

Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called God with us, Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23.

A boy is born for us, a son is given to us, on whose shoulder the dominion shall be; and his name shall be called Wonderful, God, Hero, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace, Isaiah 9:6-7.

On that day it will be said, Behold, He is our God, whom we have awaited to free us. He is Jehovah, whom we have awaited. Let us exult and rejoice in His salvation, Isaiah 25:9.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way for Jehovah, make smooth in the desert a path for our God; and all flesh shall see it together, Isaiah 40:3, 5.

Behold, the Lord Jehovih comes in strength, and His arm shall bear dominion for Him. Behold, His recompense comes with Him; He will tend His flock like a shepherd, Isaiah 40:10-11.

Jehovah said, Shout for joy and rejoice, daughter of Zion; behold, I come to dwell in your midst; then shall many nations cleave to Jehovah on that day, Zechariah 2:10-11.

I Jehovah have called you in righteousness, and I will give you to be a covenant with the people. I am Jehovah, this is my name; my glory I shall not give to another, Isaiah 42:1, 6-8.

Behold, the days will come when I will raise up for David a righteous shoot, who will reign as king and do judgment and righteousness upon earth; and this is His name, Jehovah our righteousness, Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16.

There are also the passages where the Lord's coming is called 'the day of Jehovah', as Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22; Ezekiel 31:15; Joel 1:15; 2:1-2, 11, 29, 31; 3:1, 14, 18; Amos 5:13, 18, 20; Zephaniah 1:7-18; Zechariah 14:1, 4-21; and elsewhere.

[3] It is openly stated in Luke that Jehovah Himself came down and took upon Himself human form.

Mary said to the angel, How shall this happen, since I have no knowledge of a man? The angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, so that the holy thing that is born of you will be called the Son of God, Luke 1:34-35.

And in Matthew the angel said in a dream to Joseph, who was betrothed to Mary, that that which was born of her was of the Holy Spirit; and Joseph did not know her until she had borne a son, and he called His name Jesus, Matthew 1:20, 25. The Holy Spirit means the Divine which proceeds from Jehovah God, as will be seen in Chapter 3 of this book. Everyone knows that a child gets its soul and life from the father, its body from the mother. 1 So how could it be more openly stated that the Lord's soul and life were from Jehovah God, and because the Divine cannot be divided, that the Father's Divine itself was His soul and life? That is why the Lord so many times called Jehovah God His Father, and Jehovah God called Him His Son. Can anything more ridiculous be said than the idea that our Lord's soul was from His mother Mary? Yet such is the dream of both Roman Catholics and Protestants today, and they have not woken up to what is said in the Word.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Reading ex matre 'from the mother' for ex anima 'from the soul', apparently a repetition from the preceding clause, cf. 92[1]; 103[1].
