Deuteronoomia 32

Studie

   

1 'Pange tähele, taevad, sest mina räägin, ja kuule, maa, mu suu kõnesid!

2 Mu õpetus voolaku vihmana, mu kõne nõrgugu kastena, nagu haljusele vihmasagar ja rohule vihmapiisad!

3 Sest ma kuulutan Issanda nime, andke au meie Jumalale!

4 Tema on kalju, tema töö on täiuslik, sest kõik tema teed on õiged. Jumal on ustav ja temas pole väärust, tema on õige ja õiglane.

5 Pahasti on tehtud temaga - need ei ole tema lapsed: häbiplekk, nurjatu ja pöörane sugupõlv.

6 Kas te nõnda tasute Issandale, rumal ja tarkuseta rahvas? Eks ta ole su isa, sinu looja? Tema on sind teinud ja valmistanud.

7 Meenuta muistseid päevi, pane tähele aastaid põlvest põlve! Küsi oma isalt, et ta jutustaks sulle, oma vanadelt, et nad räägiksid sulle!

8 Kui Kõigekõrgem andis rahvaile pärisosa, kui ta jaotas inimlapsi, siis ta määras kindlaks rahvaste piirid vastavalt Iisraeli laste arvule,

9 sest Issanda omand on tema rahvas, tema mõõdetud pärisosa on Jaakob.

10 Ta leidis tema kõrbemaalt, tühjast paigast, uluvast kõrbest; ta võttis tema oma kaitse alla, hoolitses tema eest, ta hoidis teda nagu oma silmatera.

11 Nõnda nagu kotkas oma pesakonda lendu ergutades hõljub kaitstes oma poegade kohal, nõnda laotas ta oma tiivad, võttis tema ja kandis teda oma tiivasulgedel.

12 Issand üksi juhtis teda, ükski võõras jumal ei olnud koos temaga.

13 Ta sõidutas teda üle maa kõrgendike ja tema sõi väljade vilju: ta imetas teda meega kaljust ja õliga ränikivist.

14 Võid veistelt ning piima lammastelt ja kitsedelt, juures tallede ja jäärade rasv; Baasani härgi ja sikke, lisaks nisu, otsekui neerurasv. Ja viinamarjaverest sa jõid veini.

15 Ja Jesurun rasvus, aga muutus tõrksaks - sa läksid lihavaks, paksuks, täidlaseks - ta hülgas Jumala, oma looja, ja põlgas oma päästekaljut.

16 Nad ärritasid teda võõraste jumalatega, nad vihastasid teda oma jäledustega.

17 Nad ohverdasid haldjaile, kes ei ole jumalad, jumalaile, keda nad ei tundnud, kes olid uued, äsja tulnud, kellest teie vanemad ei teadnud.

18 Sa ei mäletanud kaljut, kes sinu sünnitas, ja unustasid Jumala, kes andis sulle elu.

19 Kui Issand seda nägi, siis ta põlastas neid tusast oma poegade ja tütarde pärast.

20 Ta ütles: Ma peidan oma palge nende eest ja vaatan, milline on nende lõpp, sest nad on pöörane sugu, lapsed, kelles ei ole truudust.

21 Nad on mind ärritanud nendega, kes ei ole jumalad, on mind vihastanud oma tühisustega. Aga mina ärritan neid rahvaga, kes ei ole rahvas: ma vihastan neid mõistmatute paganatega.

22 Sest mu vihatuli on süttinud põlema ja lõõmab hauasügavuseni; see hävitab maa koos saagiga ja põletab mägede alused.

23 Ma kuhjan nende peale õnnetusi, ma raiskan nende vastu kõik oma nooled.

24 Neid peab kurnama nälg, purema palavikutaud ja pahatõbi; ma saadan nende kallale metsaliste hambad ja põrmus roomajate mürgi.

25 Väljas laastab neid mõõk ja sees hirm, niihästi noormehi kui neidusid, imikuid koos hallipäiste meestega.

26 Ma oleksin ütelnud: Ma hajutan nad, ma kaotan nende mälestuse inimeste hulgast,

27 kui ma poleks pidanud kartma vaenlase pilget, et nende vastased seda mõistmata ei ütleks: 'Meie käsi on olnud võidukas, ega Issand ole kõike seda teinud!'

28 Sest see on rahvas, kes on kaotanud arukuse - neil ei ole taipu.

29 Kui nad oleksid targad, siis nad taipaksid seda, nad mõistaksid oma lõppu.

30 Kuidas võis üksainus jälitada tuhandet ja kaks kihutada põgenema kümme tuhat, kui mitte nende kalju ei oleks neid müünud ja Issand nad loovutanud?

31 Sest nende kalju ei ole meie kalju sarnane: seda võivad otsustada meie vaenlasedki.

32 Tõesti, nende viinapuu on Soodoma viinapuust ja Gomorra väljadelt; nende marjad on mürgised marjad, neil on kibedad kobarad.

33 Nende vein on lohemürk, rästikute ohtlik mürk.

34 Eks see ole talletatud minu juures, pitseriga suletud minu varakambris?

35 Minu käes on kättemaks ja tasumine ajaks, mil nende jalg vääratab. Jah, nende õnnetuse päev on ligidal ja mis neile on valmistatud, tõttab tulema.

36 Sest Issand tahab mõista õigust oma rahvale ja halastada oma sulaste peale, kui ta näeb, et nende jõud on kadunud ja pole jäänud orja ega vaba.

37 Siis ta ütleb: Kus on nende jumalad, kalju, mille peal nad pelgupaika otsisid,

38 kes sõid nende tapaohvrite rasva ja jõid nende joogiohvrite veini? Tõusku nad nüüd üles ja aidaku teid, olgu nad teile varjupaigaks!

39 Nähke nüüd, et see olen mina, ainult mina, ega ole ühtki jumalat minu kõrval! Mina surman ja teen elavaks, mina purustan ja mina parandan ega ole kedagi, kes päästaks minu käest.

40 Sest ma tõstan oma käe taeva poole ja ütlen: Nii tõesti, kui ma igavesti elan:

41 kui ma olen ihunud oma välkuva mõõga ja mu käsi hakkab kohut pidama, siis ma maksan kätte oma vaenlastele ja tasun neile, kes mind vihkavad.

42 Ma lasen oma nooled joobuda verest ja mu mõõk hakkab õgima liha, mahalöödute ja vangide verd, vaenlaspealikute päid.

43 Ülistage, paganad, tema rahvast! Sest ta maksab kätte oma sulaste vere eest, tasub oma vastastele ja toimetab lepitust oma maale, oma rahvale.'

44 Ja Mooses tuli ning rääkis kõik selle laulu sõnad rahva kuuldes, tema ja Joosua, Nuuni poeg.

45 Kui Mooses oli rääkinud kõik need sõnad kogu Iisraelile,

46 siis ta ütles neile: 'Võtke südamesse kõik need sõnad, mis ma täna teile kordan, mis te peate andma käsuna oma lastele, et nad teeksid hoolsasti selle Seaduse kõigi sõnade järgi!

47 Sest see ei ole tühine sõna, mis teile korda ei lähe, vaid see on teie elu, ja selle sõna läbi te pikendate oma päevi sellel maal, kuhu te lähete üle Jordani, et seda pärida.'

48 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega veel selsamal päeval, öeldes:

49 'Mine üles siia Abarimi mäele, Nebo mäele, mis on Moabimaal Jeeriko kohal, ja vaata Kaananimaad, mille ma annan Iisraeli lastele päranduseks!

50 Siis sa sured seal mäe peal, kuhu sa üles lähed, ja sind koristatakse oma rahva juurde, nagu suri su vend Aaron Hoori mäel ja koristati oma rahva juurde,

51 sellepärast et te ei olnud truud minule Iisraeli laste keskel Meriba vee juures Kaadesis, Siini kõrbes, sellepärast et te mind ei pidanud pühaks Iisraeli laste keskel.

52 Sa näed küll eemalt seda maad, aga sa ei pääse sinna, maale, mille ma annan Iisraeli lastele.'

2906. The years of the lives of Sarah. That this signifies while any truth Divine remained, is evident from the signification of a “year,” as being an entire period of the church from beginning to end; thus from the signification of the “years,” as being periods (see above, n. 2905); and from the signification of the “lives of Sarah,” as being states as to truth Divine (of which also just above, n. 2904); thus denoting here the limit when there was no longer any truth Divine remaining; which also follows from what immediately precedes.

[2] That a “year” signifies the entire time of a state of the church from beginning to end, or what is the same, an entire period; and consequently that “years” signify times or periods within the general period, may be seen from the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

Jehovah hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the afflicted; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of every kind to the bound, to proclaim the year of Jehovah’s good pleasure, and the day of vengeance to our God (Isaiah 61:1-2);

said of the Lord’s advent; the “year of Jehovah’s good pleasure” denotes the time of a new church. In the same:

The day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed is come (Isaiah 63:4);

this too is said of the Lord’s advent; the “year of the redeemed” denotes the time of a new church. In the same:

It is the day of vengeance to Jehovah; the year of retributions for the controversy of Zion (Isaiah 34:8); where the signification is similar.

[3] The same time is also called the “year of visitation” in Jeremiah:

I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, in the year of their visitation (Jeremiah 11:23).

In the same:

I will bring upon Moab the year of their visitation (Jeremiah 48:44).

Still more plainly in Ezekiel:

After many days thou shalt be visited; in the futurity of years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which shall be for a waste continually (Ezekiel 38:8);

“the futurity of years” denotes the last time of the church, which then becomes no church, those being rejected who before were of the church, and others received from elsewhere.

In Isaiah:

Thus hath the Lord said unto me, Yet within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall be consumed (Isaiah 21:16);

here also is meant the last time.

[4] In Ezekiel:

Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years; therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the lands (Ezekiel 22:4);

“to come even unto the years” denotes to the end, when the Lord withdraws from the church.

In Isaiah:

Now hath Jehovah spoken, saying, “Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude, and the remnant shall be very small (Isaiah 16:14);

“within three years” also denotes the end of the former church. That “three” denotes what is complete, and a beginning, may be seen above (n. 1825, 2788).

[5] Similar is the signification of “seven,” and also of “seventy” (n. 720, 728, 901); and therefore it is said in Isaiah:

And it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king; after the end of seventy years it shall be to Tyre as in the song of a harlot. And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years that Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her harlot hire (Isaiah 23:15-17);

“seventy years” denotes the entire period, from the time at which the church began even till it expires; which is also meant by “the days of one king,” for a “king” signifies the truth of the church (see n. 1672, 1728, 2015, 2069). The “seventy years” of captivity in which the Jews were, also involve something similar, of which likewise it is said in Jeremiah:

These nations shall serve the king of Babel seventy years; and it shall come to pass when seventy years are fulfilled, I will visit their iniquity upon the king of Babel, and upon this nation, saith Jehovah (Jeremiah 25:11-12; 29:10).

[6] That a “year,” and also “years,” denote the entire period of a church, or the time of its duration, may be seen still further in Malachi:

Behold I send Mine angel, and he shall prepare the way before Me; and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to His temple, even the angel of the covenant whom ye desire; behold He cometh, said Jehovah Zebaoth; and who may endure the day of His coming? Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah, according to the days of an age, and according to the ancient years (Malachi 3:1-2, 4); where the advent of the Lord is treated of; the “days of an age” denote the Most Ancient Church; “ancient years,” the Ancient Church; the “offering of Judah,” worship from celestial love; and the “offering of Jerusalem,” worship from spiritual love; that Judah is not meant here, nor Jerusalem, is plain.

In David:

I have considered the days of old, and the years of the ages (Psalms 77:5); where the “days of old” and the “years of the ages” denote the same churches. This is still more plain in Moses:

Remember the days of an age, understand the years of generation and generation; ask thy father, and he will show thee; thine elders, and they will tell thee. When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of man (Deuteronomy 32:7-8).

[7] That a “year” and “years” denote the full time of a church, is also plain in Habakkuk:

O Jehovah, I have heard Thy fame, I was afraid; O Jehovah, revive Thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in anger remember mercy. God will come from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran (Hab. 3:2-3);

This is said of the Lord’s advent; “in the midst of the years” denotes in the fullness of times; and what is meant by the fullness of times” may be seen just above (n. 2905).

[8] As a “year” and “years” signify the full time between its two limits, which are the beginning and the end when predicated of the Lord’s kingdom on earth (that is, the church) so they signify what is eternal when predicated of the Lord’s kingdom in heaven. As in David:

O God, Thy years are to generation and generation; and Thou art He, and Thy years shall not be brought to an end. The sons of Thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before Thee (Psalms 102:24, 27-28).

In the same:

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king, his years shall be as generation and generation; he shall dwell before God forever (Psalms 61:6-7); where “years” denote what is eternal, for this treats of the Lord and His kingdom.

[9] The lambs which were offered for burnt-offering and sacrifice being “sons of their year” (see Leviticus 12:6; 14:10; Numbers 6:12; 7:15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, 57, 63, 69, 75, 81, and other places), signified the celestial things of innocence in the Lord’s kingdom, which are eternal. And for this reason also the burnt-offering of calves that were “sons of a year” is mentioned as being most grateful (Micah 6:6).

[10] That in the internal sense a “year” does not signify a year, is also evident from the fact that the angels, who are in the internal sense of the Word, cannot have an idea of any year; but because a year is a full period of time in nature, which belongs to the world, therefore instead of a year they have an idea of what is full in respect to states of the church, and of what is eternal in respect to states of heaven; times with them are states (see n. 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837).
