Zechariah 13

Studie

   

1 Sinä päivänä on Daavidin suvulla ja Jerusalemin asukkailla oleva avoin lähde syntiä ja saastaisuutta vastaan.

2 Ja sinä päivänä, sanoo Herra Sebaot, minä hävitän epäjumalain nimet maasta, eikä niitä enää muisteta. Myöskin profeetat ja saastaisuuden hengen minä ajan maasta pois.

3 Ja jos joku vielä ennustaa, sanovat hänen isänsä ja äitinsä, hänen vanhempansa, hänelle: "Sinä et saa elää, koska olet puhunut valhetta Herran nimeen". Ja hänen isänsä ja äitinsä, hänen vanhempansa, lävistävät hänet hänen ennustamisensa tähden.

4 Sinä päivänä häpeävät profeetat itsekukin näkyään, kun he ennustavat, eivätkä he valhetellakseen pue yllensä karvaista vaippaa.

5 Hän sanoo: "En ole profeetta, vaan peltomies, sillä eräs mies on ostanut minut orjaksi jo nuoruudessani".

6 Ja jos häneltä kysytään: "Mitä ovat nuo haavat sinun rinnassasi?" vastaa hän: "Ne lyötiin minun ystäväini huoneessa".

7 Heräjä, miekka, minun paimentani vastaan ja minun lähintä miestäni vastaan, sanoo Herra Sebaot. Lyö paimenta, ja joutukoot lampaat hajallensa; mutta minä käännän jälleen käteni pienimpiä kohden.

8 Ja näin on käyvä koko maassa, sanoo Herra: kaksi osaa siitä hävitetään ja saa surmansa, mutta kolmas osa siitä jää jäljelle.

9 Ja sen kolmannen osan minä vien tuleen; minä sulatan heidät, niinkuin hopea sulatetaan, ja koettelen heitä, niinkuin kulta koetellaan. He huutavat avuksi minun nimeäni, ja minä vastaan heille. Minä sanon: "Se on minun kansani", ja se sanoo: "Herra, minun Jumalani".

Apocalypse Explained # 243

/ 1232  
  

243. And white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, signifies genuine truths and intelligence therefrom. This is evident from the signification of "white garments," as being genuine truths, for garments signify truths (See above, n. 195), and "white" signifies what is genuine, and is predicated of truths (See above, n. 196); also from the signification of "to clothe," as being to acquire intelligence for oneself therefrom, for by means of genuine truths all intelligence is acquired; for the human understanding is formed to receive truths, therefore it becomes such as the truths are out of which it is formed. It is supposed that understanding is also the ability to reason from thought and to speak from falsities, and to confirm falsities by many arguments; but this is not understanding, it is only a faculty granted to man with the memory to which it is adjoined, and of which it is an activity. Yet by means of this faculty the understanding is born and formed, so far as man receives truths from affection; but genuine truths it is not possible for any man to receive from affection except only from the Lord, since they are from Him; consequently, to receive understanding, or to become intelligent, is not given to any man, except only from the Lord, but it is given to everyone who applies himself to receive (according to what was said above, n. 239. This, therefore, is signified by "I counsel thee to buy of Me white garments, that thou mayest be clothed."

3 and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock;
