Jeremija 30

Studie

   

1 Sõna, mis Jeremijale tuli Issandalt; ta ütles:

2 'Nõnda räägib Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, ja ütleb: Kirjuta kõik sõnad, mis ma sulle olen rääkinud, enesele raamatusse!

3 Sest vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil ma pööran oma Iisraeli ja Juuda rahva vangipõlve, ütleb Issand, ja ma toon nad tagasi maale, mille ma andsin nende vanemaile, ja nad pärivad selle.'

4 Ja need on sõnad, mis Issand rääkis Iisraeli ja Juuda kohta,

5 sest nõnda ütleb Issand: 'Me oleme kuulnud hirmukisa; on kartus, aga mitte rahu.

6 Küsige ometi ja vaadake: kas meesterahvas sünnitab? Mispärast ma näen iga meest käed puusas nagu sünnitajal naisel, ja mispärast on kõik näod muutunud kahvatuks?

7 Häda! Sest see päev on suur, sellesarnast ei ole. See on Jaakobile ahastuse aeg, aga ta päästetakse sellest.

8 Ja sel päeval, ütleb vägede Issand, ma murran ikke su kaelast ja kisun katki su köidikud; ja muulased ei pane neid enam teenima,

9 vaid nad teenivad Issandat, oma Jumalat, ja Taavetit, oma kuningat, kelle ma neile tõstan.

10 Aga sina, mu sulane Jaakob, ära karda, ütleb Issand, ja Iisrael, ära ehmu! Sest vaata, ma päästan sind kaugelt ja sinu soo nende vangipõlvemaalt. Jaakob tuleb tagasi ning elab rahus ja muretult, ilma et keegi teda hirmutaks.

11 Sest mina olen sinuga, ütleb Issand, et sind päästa. Ma teen lõpu kõigile rahvaile, kelle sekka ma sind olen pillutanud. Aga sinule ma ei tee lõppu: ma karistan sind õiglaselt, aga hoopis karistamata ma sind küll ei jäta.

12 Sest nõnda ütleb Issand: Su vigastus on ravimatu, su haav on valus.

13 Ei ole kedagi, kes kaitseks su õigust, mädapaisel ei ole paranemist, sulle ei kasva korpa.

14 Kõik su armukesed on sind unustanud, nad ei küsi su järele. Sest ma olen sind löönud, nagu lüüakse vaenlast halastamatu karistusega, sellepärast et su süü on suur, et su patte on palju.

15 Miks sa kisendad oma haava pärast, et su valu on vaigistamatu? Su suure süü, su paljude pattude pärast olen ma sulle seda teinud.

16 Ometi õgitakse ära kõik, kes sind õgivad, ja kõik, kes sind rõhuvad - viimane kui üks läheb vangi; kes sind rüüstavad, saavad rüüstatavaiks, ja kõik, kes võtavad sind saagiks, annan ma saagiks.

17 Sest ma tahan lasta kasvada sulle korba ja ravida sind sinu haavadest, ütleb Issand, sellepärast et sind on nimetatud hüljatuks: 'Siion, kellest ükski ei hooli!'

18 Nõnda ütleb Issand: Vaata, ma pööran Jaakobi telkide vangipõlve ja ma halastan tema eluasemete peale; linn ehitatakse üles oma rusuhunnikule ja palee asub seal, kus see peab asuma.

19 Sealt kostab tänulaul ja rõõmsate hääl. Ma teen nad paljuks ja nad ei vähene, ma teen nad auväärseiks ja neid ei halvustata.

20 Siis on ta pojad nagu muistegi ja ta kogudus seisab kindlana mu ees. Ja ma karistan kõiki ta piinajaid.

21 Temast enesest tuleb ta aukandja ja tema keskelt ilmub ta valitseja; ma luban teda ligineda ja ta tuleb mu juurde, sest kes muidu annaks pandiks oma südame, et minule ligineda? ütleb Issand.

22 Siis te olete mu rahvas ja mina olen teie Jumal.

23 Vaata, Issanda torm, raev, puhkeb, ja keeristorm keerutab üle õelate pea.

24 Issanda viha ei pöördu enne, kui ta on teoks teinud ja korda saatnud oma tahtmise. Viimseil päevil te mõistate seda.

10622. 'And He does not at all absolve' means allowing them to exist until they reach their closing stage. This is clear from the meaning of 'absolving' as forgiving sin; but when the words does or will not absolve are added 1 , allowing the thing to exist is meant. The reason why until their closing stage is meant is that the Lord allows evil to exist until it has reached its closing stage or culmination. Various places throughout the Word use the expression 'the close of the age'; and in these places evil may be spoken of as having reached or not having reached its closing stage, at which stage visitation takes place. Since this is the meaning of the words 'He does (or will) not at all absolve' a brief statement must be made showing what to understand by this. In general the closing stage or the close means the end of the Church. And it reaches its end when neither charity nor faith exist any longer, because the Church has turned itself completely away from the Lord and no good at all reigns there any longer, only evil. This is called its close, at which stage visitation takes place. When it takes place all those ruled by evil are cast away, and all those governed by good are accepted. This visitation takes place in the next life, where all who have belonged to the Church from its beginning through to its end dwell together. The casting away of the evil into hell when it takes place and the saving of the good is what is called the last judgement.

[2] In particular the closing stage takes place with every individual person in a very similar manner. When anybody enters the next life, which happens immediately after death, he is allowed to exist among those who are good; even someone bad is allowed to do so. But after a while the person's interiors are opened. If these are evil he is borne away more and more into his own evil, until his will is taken over by his evil, and his understanding by the falsity which goes with that evil. Once this has happened that evil is said to have reached the closing stage in him, and he is cast away into hell. These are the things that should be understood by 'He will not at all absolve'. The like is meant by what Jehovah said to Moses,

Now, go! lead the people to what I have spoken of to you. Behold, My angel will go before you; and on the day of My visitation I will visit their sin upon them. Exodus 32:34.

[3] The fact that the close means the end of the Church is clear from the following places: In Jeremiah,

With Israel and with Judah I will not bring about the close 2 , but I will not treat you as one who is at all innocent 3 , because there is no hope for your fracture; the wound is grievous. You have no restorative medicaments. Jeremiah 30:11-13; 46:28.

In the same prophet,

Your iniquity, O daughter of Zion, has been brought to a close. He will visit your iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He will reveal your sins. Lamentations 4:22.

In Daniel,

Seventy weeks have been decreed concerning your people, to bring transgression to a close and to seal up sins and to atone for iniquity. At length upon the bird of abominations will come desolation; and until the close ... Daniel 9:24, 27.

In Matthew,

The harvest is the close of the age. As the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so will it be at the close of the age. Matthew 13:39-40.

In the same gospel,

The disciples said to Jesus, Tell us, what will be the sign of Your coming and of the close of the age? Matthew 24:3.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, Behold I am with you at all times 4 even to the close of the age. Matthew 28:20.
