Deuteronoomia 8

Studie

   

1 Pidage hoolsasti kõiki käske, mis ma täna sulle annan, et te jääksite elama ja paljuneksite ning läheksite ja päriksite maa, mille Issand on vandega tõotanud teie vanemaile!

2 Ja tuleta meelde kogu teekonda, mida Issand, su Jumal, sind on lasknud käia need nelikümmend aastat kõrbes, et sind alandada, et sind proovile panna, et teada saada, mis on su südames: kas sa pead tema käske või mitte!

3 Tema alandas sind ja laskis sind nälgida, ja ta söötis sind mannaga, mida ei tundnud sina ega su vanemad, et teha sulle teatavaks, et inimene ei ela üksnes leivast, vaid inimene elab kõigest, mis lähtub Issanda suust.

4 Su riided ei kulunud seljas ega paistetanud su jalg need nelikümmend aastat.

5 Sa pead tundma oma südames, et nagu mees karistab oma poega, nõnda karistab sind Issand, su Jumal.

6 Pea Issanda, oma Jumala käske, käies tema teedel ja kartes teda!

7 Sest Issand, su Jumal, viib sind heale maale, veeojade, allikate ja sügavate vete maale, mis voolavad orgudes ja mägedes,

8 nisu, odra, viinapuude, viigipuude, granaatõunapuude, õlipuude ja mee maale,

9 maale, kus sa ei söö leiba kehvuses, kus sul midagi ei puudu, maale, mille kivid on raud ja mille mägedest sa saad raiuda vaske.

10 Kui sa sööd ja su kõht saab täis, siis kiida Issandat, oma Jumalat, hea maa pärast, mille ta sulle andis!

11 Hoia, et sa ei unusta Issandat, oma Jumalat, jättes pidamata tema käsud, seadlused ja määrused, mis ma täna sulle annan,

12 et kui sa sööd ja su kõht saab täis, ja sa ehitad ilusad kojad ning elad neis,

13 kui su veised, lambad ja kitsed sigivad, su hõbe ja kuld rohkeneb ja kõik, mis sul on, kasvab,

14 et su süda siis ei lähe suureliseks ja sa ei unusta Issandat, oma Jumalat, kes tõi sind välja Egiptusemaalt orjusekojast,

15 kes juhtis sind suures ja kardetavas mürkmadudega ja skorpionidega kõrbes, põuases paigas, kus ei olnud vett, kes laskis sulle vett voolata ränikivikaljust,

16 kes söötis sind kõrbes mannaga, mida su vanemad ei tundnud, et sind alandada ja proovile panna, et viimaks teha sulle head!

17 Ja ära ütle oma südames: Mu oma jõud ja mu käe ramm on soetanud mulle selle varanduse,

18 vaid tuleta meelde Issandat, oma Jumalat, et see on tema, kes annab sulle jõu varanduse soetamiseks, et kinnitada lepingut, mille ta vandudes tegi su vanematega, mis nüüd ongi teostunud!

19 Aga kui sa unustad Issanda, oma Jumala, ja käid teiste jumalate järel ja teenid neid ning kummardad nende ees, siis ma tunnistan täna teile, et te tõesti hukkute.

20 Nagu rahvad, keda Issand teie eest hävitab, nõnda hävite ka teie, kui te ei võta kuulda Issanda, oma Jumala häält.

Apocalypse Revealed # 546

546. Then the woman fled into the wilderness. (12:6) This symbolizes the church, namely, the New Jerusalem, being at first among few.

The woman symbolizes the New Church (no. 533), and the wilderness symbolizes a circumstance in which there are no longer any truths. The church is symbolized as being at first among few because the statement follows, "Where she has a place prepared by God, that they may feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days," which symbolizes the state of that church then, that in the meantime provision may be made for it to exist among more people until it grows to its appointed state (no. 547).

A wilderness in the Word symbolizes:

1. A church devastated, or one in which the Word's truths have all been falsified, as was the case with the Jews at the time of the Lord's advent.

2. A church without truths, because it does not have the Word, as was the case with upright gentiles at the time of the Lord's advent.

3. A state of temptation or trial, in which a person is seemingly without truths, being surrounded by evil spirits who induce the temptation or trial and appear to rob him of his truths.

[2] 1. That a wilderness symbolizes a church devastated, or one in which the Word's truths have all been falsified, as was the case with the Jews at the time of the Lord's advent: This is apparent from the following passages:

Is this the man who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble, who made the world as a wilderness...? (Isaiah 14:16-17)

This said in reference to Babylon.

On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers...; ...the palace will be deserted... (Isaiah 32:13-14)

I beheld, and lo, Carmel was a wilderness... "The whole land shall be a wasteland." (Jeremiah 4:26-27)

The land is the church (no. 285).

...shepherds have destroyed My vineyard..., they have made the field of My desire a desolate wilderness... The devastators are coming... in the wilderness. (Jeremiah 12:10, 12)

...(the vine) is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. (Ezekiel 19:13)

...fire has devoured the habitations of the wilderness. (Joel 1:19-20)

...the day of Jehovah is coming... The land is like the Garden of Eden before it, but after it a desolate wilderness. (Joel 2:1, 3)

...see the word of Jehovah! Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? (Jeremiah 2:31)

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God." (Isaiah 40:3)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 33:9; Jeremiah 3:2; 23:10; Lamentations 5:9; Hosea 2:2-3; 13:15; Joel 3:19; Malachi 1:3; Matthew 24:26; Luke 13:35.

That such is the state of the church today may be seen in no. 566 below.

[3] 2. That a wilderness symbolizes a church without truths, because it does not have the Word, as was the case with upright gentiles at the time of the Lord's advent: This is apparent from these passages:

...the Spirit shall be poured upon us from on high, then the wilderness shall become a fertile field...; and judgment will dwell in the wilderness... (Isaiah 32:15-16)

(I will put) fountains in the midst of the valleys, [and turn] the wilderness into a pool of water... I will put in the wilderness the shittim cedar... and the oil tree. (Isaiah 41:18-19)

He will turn a wilderness into a pool of water, and dry land into springs of water. (Psalms 107:35-36)

I will make a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert... to give drink to My people, My chosen. (Isaiah 43:19-20)

...Jehovah... will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; gladness and joy will be found in her... (Isaiah 51:3)

The habitations of the wilderness drip... (Psalms 65:12-13)

Let the wilderness... lift up (its) voice... Let the inhabitants of the rock sing... (Isaiah 43:10-11)

[4] 3. That a wilderness symbolizes a state of temptation or trial, in which a person is seemingly without truths, being surrounded by evil spirits who induce the temptation or trial and appear to rob him of his truths: This is apparent from Matthew 4:1-3, Mark 1:12-13.
