Hosea 8

Studie

   

1 Huuda selkiästi niinkuin basuna (ja sano): Hän tulee jo Herran huoneen ylitse niinkuin kotka, että he ovat minun liittoni rikkoneet, ja ovat minun laistani luopuneet.

2 Niin heidän pitää minua huutaman: Sinä olet minun Jumalani; me Israel tunnemme sinun.

3 Israel hylkää hyvän; sentähden pitää vihollisen heitä vaivaaman.

4 He asettavat kuninkaita ilman minua, he panevat päämiehiä ilman minun tietämättäni; hopiastansa ja kullastansa tekevät he epäjumalia, että he juuri nopiasti häviäisivät.

5 Sinun vasikkas, Samaria, sysää sinun pois; minun vihani on julmistunut; ei se taida kauvan olla, heitä pitää rangaistaman.

6 Sillä se on myös tullut Israelista, jonka seppä on tehnyt, ja ei se ole Jumala: Sentähden pitää Samarian vasikka tomuksi tehtämän.

7 Sillä he kylvivät tuulen; ja heidän pitää jälleen tuulispään niittämän; ei heidän siemenensä pidä tuleman ylös, eikä hedelmänsä jauhoja antaman; ja jos hän vielä antais, niin muukalaiset pitää ne syömän.

8 Israel tulee syödyksi; pakanat pitävät hänen nyt kelvottomana astiana;

9 Että he juoksivat ylös Assurin tykö, niinkuin yksinäinen metsä-aasi: Ephraim palkkaa itsellensä lahjoilla rakastajia.

10 Ja että he lahjoja lähettävät pakanoille, niin tahdon minä nyt heitä koota; ja heidän pitää kuninkaan ja päämiesten kuormaan pian suuttuman.

11 Sillä Ephraim on tehnyt monta alttaria syntiä tehdäksensä; niin pitää myös alttarit hänelle synniksi luettaman.

12 Vaikka minä paljon heille minun laistani kirjoitan; niin he lukevat sen kuitenkin muukalaiseksi opiksi.

13 Ehkä he nyt paljon uhraavat, ja lihaa tuovat edes ja syövät, niin ei se kuitenkaan ole Herralle otollinen; mutta hän tahtoo muistaa heidän pahuutensa, ja heidän syntinsä etsiä, jotka Egyptiin kääntyvät.

14 Israel unhotti Luojansa, ja rakensi templiä, ja Juuda teki myös monta vahvaa kaupunkia; mutta minä lasken tulen hänen kaupunkeihinsa, joka hänen huoneensa polttaman pitää.

9392. Verses 6-8 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and half of the blood he sprinkled over the altar. And he took the book of the covenant, and read it in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do and hear. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it over the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah has made with you according to all these words. 'And Moses took half of the blood' means Divine Truth which has become a matter of life and of worship.

'And put it in bowls' means present with a person, in the things forming his memory. 'And half of the blood he sprinkled over the altar' means Divine Truth from the Lord's Divine Human. 'And he took the book of the covenant' means the Word in the letter to which the Word in heaven was joined. 'And read it in the ears of the people' means to be listened to and obeyed. 'And they said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do and hear' means receiving the truth that emanates from the Lord's Divine Human, and obeying it with heart and soul. 'And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it over the people' means making a person well-adapted to receive it. 'And said, Behold, the blood of the covenant' means that by means of this truth the Lord's Divine Human is joined to heaven and to earth. 'Which Jehovah has made with you according to all these words' means that the Lord accomplishes the joining together by means of every single part of the Word.

Arcana Coelestia # 9280

9280. 'In order that your ox and your ass may rest' means the peace and serenity that external forms of good and truths enjoy at the same time. This is clear from the meaning of 'resting', when it refers to the seventh day or the sabbath, as peace and serenity, as immediately above in 9279; and from the meaning of 'ox' as external good, and of 'ass' as external truth, dealt with in 2781, 9135, 9255.

Beasts were signs of affections and inclinations such as the human being shares in common with them, see 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 776, 2179, 2180, 2781, 3218, 3519, 5198, 5913, 8937, 9090, 9135.

Beasts were used in sacrifices in accordance with their spiritual meaning, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3519.

All things existing in the world, in its three kingdoms, were representative of the spiritual and celestial realities of the Lord's kingdom, 1632, 1881, 2758, 2987-3003, 3213-3227, 3483, 3624-3649, 4939, 5116, 5427, 5428, 5477, 8211.

All things have a correspondence, 2987-3003, 3213-3226, 3337-3352, 3472-3485, 3624-3649, 3745-3750, 3883-3896, 4039-4055, 4218-4228, 4318-4331, 4403-4420, 4523-4533, 4622-4634, 4652-4660, 4791-4806, 4931-4952, 5050-5062, 5171-5189, 5377-5396, 5552-5573, 5711-5727, 8615.

[2] These references have been drawn together to enable it to be seen that not merely all beasts but also all objects in the world have a correspondence, and that in accordance with their correspondences they all represent and serve to mean spiritual and celestial realities, and in the highest sense Divine realities that are the Lord's. And from this the character of the ancient Churches, called representative Churches, may be seen. This character was such that each one of their sacred observances served to represent things that are the Lord's and belong to His kingdom, thus aspects of love to Him and belief in Him. In those times heaven was joined to a member of the Church by means of these observances, since internal aspects were presented in heaven. The Word of the Lord has also been given to the same end, for every detail in it, even to the smallest part of a letter, has a correspondence and spiritual meaning. Through the Word alone therefore is heaven linked to mankind.

[3] No one at the present day knows that this is so. Consequently when the natural man reads the Word and seeks to discover where its Divinity lies, but does not find it in the letter on account of its very ordinary style, he at first begins to disparage it and then to reject the idea that it has been dictated by God and sent down to mankind by way of heaven. The natural man does not know that the Word is Divine by virtue of its spiritual sense, which is not visible in the letter but is nevertheless present within the letter; nor does he know that this sense is presented in heaven when someone on earth reads it devoutly, and that the subject in that sense is the Lord and His kingdom. These are the Divine things which make the Word Divine and through which holiness flows from the Lord by way of heaven, even into the literal sense and into the actual letters. But as long as a person does not know what anything spiritual is he cannot know either what the spiritual sense is, nor thus what correspondence is. And as long as a person loves the world more than heaven, and self more than the Lord, he has no wish to know these things and understand them. Yet they were the source of all intelligence among the ancients, and they are also the source of wisdom among the angels. Hidden mysteries, which numerous diviners have vainly toiled to track down in the Word, lie in those things alone.
