Ezekiel 28

Studie

   

1 Kaj aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

2 Ho filo de homo, diru al la reganto de Tiro:Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Pro tio, ke via koro fierigxis, kaj vi diris:Mi estas dio, mi sidas sur dia trono en la mezo de la maroj; dum vi estas homo, sed ne dio, kvankam vi rigardas vian koron kiel koron de dio;

3 kvazaux vi estus pli sagxa ol Daniel kaj nenio estus kasxita antaux vi;

4 kvazaux per via sagxeco kaj via kompetenteco vi akirus al vi la potencon kaj kolektus oron kaj argxenton en vian trezorejon;

5 kvazaux per via granda sagxeco en via komercado vi grandigus vian ricxecon, kaj via koro fierigxis pro via ricxeco:

6 pro tio tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:CXar vi rigardas vian koron kiel koron de dio,

7 tial jen Mi venigos kontraux vin fremdulojn, la plej terurajn el la popoloj; kaj ili nudigos siajn glavojn kontraux la belajxojn de via sagxeco kaj malaperigos vian brilon.

8 En pereon ili pusxos vin, kaj vi mortos en la mezo de la maro per morto de bucxitoj.

9 CXu antaux via mortiganto vi diros:Mi estas dio; dum vi estas ne dio, sed homo en la mano de via mortiganto?

10 Per morto de necirkumciditoj vi mortos de la manoj de fremduloj; cxar Mi tion parolis, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

11 Kaj aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

12 Ho filo de homo, ekkantu funebran kanton pri la regxo de Tiro, kaj diru al li:Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Vi estas sigelo de perfekteco, plena de sagxo kaj plej alta grado de beleco.

13 Vi estis en Eden, la gxardeno de Dio; cxiaspecaj multekostaj sxtonoj vin kovris:rubeno, topazo, diamanto, sukceno, berilo, jaspiso, safiro, smeraldo, ametisto, kaj oro estis la ornamo de viaj tamburinoj kaj flutoj; cxio estis preta en la tago de via kreigxo.

14 Vi estas kerubo, kiu sin etendas kaj protektas; kaj Mi metis vin sur la sanktan monton de Dio, kie vi iradis inter fajraj sxtonoj.

15 Vi estis perfekta en via konduto de post la tago de via kreigxo, gxis trovigxis en vi malbonago.

16 Pro la grandeco de via komercado via interno plenigxis de maljusteco, kaj vi pekis; tial Mi dejxetos vin de la monto de Dio, kaj malaperigos vin, ho kerubo protektanto, el inter la fajraj sxtonoj.

17 De via beleco fierigxis via koro, pro via majesteco vi perdis vian sagxon; tial Mi jxetos vin sur la teron kaj faros vin mokatajxo antaux la regxoj.

18 Per la multo de viaj malbonagoj kaj per via malhonesta komercado vi malhonoris vian sanktejon; kaj Mi elirigos el vi fajron, kiu ekstermos vin, kaj Mi faros vin cindro sur la tero antaux la okuloj de cxiuj viaj vidantoj.

19 CXiuj, kiuj konas vin inter la popoloj, eksentos teruron pri vi; vi neniigxis, kaj neniam plu ekzistos.

20 Kaj aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

21 Ho filo de homo, turnu vian vizagxon al Cidon, kaj profetu pri gxi,

22 kaj diru:Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Jen Mi iras kontraux vin, ho Cidon; kaj Mi glorigxos inter vi, kaj oni ekscios, ke Mi estas la Eternulo, kiam Mi faros kontraux gxi jugxon kaj montros sur gxi Mian sanktecon.

23 Mi sendos sur gxin peston, kaj sangoversxadon sur gxiajn stratojn, kaj falos en gxi mortigitoj de glavo, kiu estos direktita kontraux gxin de cxiuj flankoj; kaj oni ekscios, ke Mi estas la Eternulo.

24 Kaj gxi ne plu estos por la domo de Izrael pikanta dorno nek doloriganta pikilo pli ol cxiuj malbondezirantaj najbaroj; kaj oni ekscios, ke Mi estas la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

25 Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Kiam Mi kolektos la domon de Izrael el la popoloj, inter kiujn gxi estis disjxetita, kaj montros sur gxi Mian sanktecon antaux la okuloj de la nacioj, tiam ili logxos sur sia tero, kiun Mi donis al Mia servanto Jakob.

26 Kaj ili logxos sur gxi sendangxere, kaj konstruos domojn kaj plantos vinbergxardenojn; jes, ili logxos en sendangxereco, kiam Mi faros jugxon kontraux cxiuj iliaj malbondezirantoj cxirkaux ili; kaj ili ekscios, ke Mi, la Eternulo, estas ilia Dio.

Apocalypse Explained # 839

/ 1232  
  

839. It has been shown already that every man is his love, and that the love and life of man make one and are one. It shall now be shown that a man's faith is such as his love or life is, also that a man's faith is according to his works. It has been shown above that works contain in themselves all things of man's love and life, since works are their products and effects, and are the ultimates in which all things prior coexist. For this reason angels of the third heaven know what the quality of a man is by the tone of his speech, also by his step, by the touch of the hand, by the action of the body, by his exultation, and by many other things, which are acts. That a man is known in the third heaven by such things is not known in the world, because man believes that there is nothing in such things but mere motion; when yet the life of his mind produces these actions by means of the life of his body; and both of these lives, with everything pertaining to them, concur in the production of these acts, from which it follows that they manifest themselves in them. Since, then, a man's life goes forth into works, and manifests itself in them, it follows that his faith does the same; for faith is the acknowledgment that a thing is so, and acknowledgment is of the thought and at the same time of the will; and as will and thought produce action by means of the life of the body, so also faith is manifested in works as to its quality. And yet nothing is acknowledged to be so in thought, will, and work together, except what pertains to man's love and life, for it is his love and life that acknowledge; which shows that as faith is such as man's love and life are, so it is such as his works are.

[2] By works all things are meant that a man does, speaks, and writes, whether great and many or little and few; as whatever an officer does in his office, or whatever a priest does in his, or a merchant in his, or a servant in his; all such works, whether little or great, are good when they are done from the Lord with man, and are evil when they are done by the man himself; thus they are good so far as man shuns evils because they are sins against God, and they are evil so far as he does not shun evils. It is similar with faith; such as his works are such is his faith, for these make one like thought and speech or like will and action. Man supposes that even if he lives wickedly he can still have faith, at least to believe that there is a God, that the Lord is the Savior of the world, that there is a heaven and a hell, and that the Word is holy. But I can affirm that if he does not shun evils because they are sins, and then look to the Lord, he does not at all believe these things; since they are not of his life and love, but only of his memory and knowledge; and they do not come to be of his life and love until he fights against evils and overcomes them. This has been made clear to me by the state of many after death who supposed that they had believed at least that there is a God, and that the Lord is the Savior of the world, and other like things; and yet such as had lived wickedly had not believed.

Revelation 19

Studie

   

1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God:

2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand."

3 A second said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever."

4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"

5 A voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!"

6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!

7 Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready."

8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9 He said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" He said to me, "These are true words of God."

10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, "Look! Don't do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy."

11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.

13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God."

14 The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.

15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

17 I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, "Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,

18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great."

19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.
