synty 15

Studie

   

1 Kuin nämä olivat niin tapahtuneet, tuli Herran sana Abramin tykö näyssä, sanoen: älä pelkää Abram, minä olen sinun kilpes, ja sangen suuri palkkas.

2 Mutta Abram sanoi: Herra, Herra, mitäs minulle annat? minä lähden lapsetoinna täältä, ja minun huoneeni haltia on tämä Eleasari Damaskusta.

3 Ja Abram taas sanoi: mutta minulle et sinä antanut siementä. Ja katsos, minun kotopalkolliseni tulee minun perillisekseni.

4 Ja katso, Herran sana tuli hänen tykönsä, sanoen: ei tämä sinua peri: vaan joka sinun ruumiistas tulee, se tulee sinun perillisekses.

5 Niin hän vei hänen ulos, ja sanoi: katso taivaaseen ja lue tähdet, jos sinä ne taidat lukea. Ja sanoi hänelle: niin sinun siemenes on oleva.

6 (Abram) uskoi Herran, ja hän luki hänelle sen vanhurskaudeksi.

7 Ja sanoi hänelle: minä se Herra olen, joka vein sinun ulos Kaldean Uurista, antaakseni sinulle tämän maan omakses.

8 Ja hän sanoi: Herra, Herra, mistä minä tietäisin sen omistavani?

9 Ja hän sanoi hänelle: ota minulle kolmivuotinen hehkonen, ja kolmivuotinen vuohi, ja kolmivuotinen oinas: niin myös mettinen, ja nuori kyhkyläinen.

10 Ja hän otti hänelle nämät kaikki, ja jakoi keskeltä kahtia, ja pani itsekunkin osan toinen toisensa kohdalle; vaan lintuja ei hän jakanut.

11 Niin linnut tulivat lihain päälle; ja Abram karkotti ne.

12 Ja tapahtui auringon laskeissa, että raskas uni lankesi Abramin päälle: ja katso, hämmästys ja synkkä pimeys tuli hänen päällensä.

13 Niin hän sanoi Abramille: sinun pitää totisesti tietämän, että sinun siemenes tulee muukalaiseksi sille maalle, joka ei heidän omansa ole, ja he saattavat heitä orjaksi, ja vaivaavat heitä neljäsataa ajastaikaa.

14 Mutta sille kansalle, jonka orjana he ovat, kostan minä: ja sitte he lähtevät ulos suurella tavaralla.

15 Ja sinä menet isäis tykö rauhassa, ja haudataan hyvässä ijässä.

16 Vaan neljännessä miespolvessa he tänne palajavat: sillä Amorilaisten pahuus ei ole vielä täytetty.

17 Ja koska aurinko oli laskenut, ja pimeys joutunut: katso, pätsi suitsi, ja liekki kävi kappaleitten keskeltä.

18 Sinä päivänä teki Herra liiton Abramin kanssa, sanoen: sinun siemenelles annan minä tämän maan, hamasta Egyptin virrasta, niin suureen virtaan Phratiin asti.

19 Keniläiset, ja Kenitsiläiset, ja Kadmonilaiset,

20 Ja Hetiläiset, ja Pheresiläiset, ja Kalevan pojat,

21 Ja Amorilaiset, ja Kanaanealaiset, ja Gergesiläiset, ja Jebusilaiset.

1813. He imputed it to him for righteousness. That this signifies that herein the Lord first became righteousness, may also be seen from the connection of things in the internal sense, in which the Lord is treated of. That the Lord alone became righteousness for the whole human race, may be seen from the fact that He alone fought from Divine love, namely, from love toward the whole human race, whose salvation was what in His combats He solely desired and burned for. In regard to His Human Essence the Lord was not born righteousness, but became righteousness through combats of temptations and victories, and this from His own power. As often as He fought and overcame, this was imputed to Him for righteousness, that is, it was added to the righteousness that He was becoming, as a continual increase, until He became pure righteousness.

[2] A man who is born of a human father, or of the seed of a human father, when fighting from himself cannot fight from any other love than the love of self and of the world, thus not from heavenly love, but from infernal love, for such is the character of his Own from his father, in addition to the Own acquired by his own conduct. Therefore he who supposes that he fights from himself against the devil is hugely mistaken. In like manner he who desires to make himself righteous by his own powers-that is, to believe that the goods of charity and the truths of faith are from himself, consequently that he merits heaven by them-acts and thinks against the good and truth of faith; for it is a truth of faith, that is, it is the truth itself, that the Lord fights. And therefore because he then acts and thinks against the truth of faith, he takes away from the Lord what is His, and makes what is the Lord’s to be his own, or what is the same, he puts himself in the Lord’s place, and thereby puts that which is infernal in himself. Hence it is that such men desire to become great, or the greatest, in heaven; and hence it is that they falsely believe that the Lord fought against the hells in order that He might be the greatest. What is man’s own is attended with such phantasies, which appear as if they were truths, but are just the reverse.

[3] That the Lord came into the world in order to become righteousness, and that He alone is righteousness, was also foretold by the prophets; and therefore this could have been known before His coming; and also that He could not become righteousness except through temptations, and victories over all evils and all the hells. As in Jeremiah:

In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in confidence, and this is His name whereby they shall call Him, Jehovah our righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6).

In the same:

In those days and in that time will I cause an Offshoot of righteousness to grow onto David, and He shall do judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in confidence; and this is what they shall call Him, Jehovah our righteousness (Jeremiah 33:15-16).

In Isaiah:

He saw, and there was no man; and He wondered that there was none to intercede; and His arm brought salvation unto Him, and His righteousness it upheld Him. And He put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and a helmet of salvation upon His head (Isaiah 59:16-17; see especially Isaiah 63:3, 5).

“His arm” means His own power. Because the Lord alone is righteousness, the “habitation of righteousness” also is mentioned in Jeremiah 31:23; 50:7.
