Aggée 1

Studie

1 La seconde année du roi Darius, le premier jour du sixième mois, la parole de l'Eternel fut adressée par Aggée, le prophète, à Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, gouverneur de Juda, et à Josué, fils de Jotsadak, le souverain sacrificateur, en ces mots:

2 Ainsi parle l'Eternel des armées: Ce peuple dit: Le temps n'est pas venu, le temps de rebâtir la maison de l'Eternel.

3 C'est pourquoi la parole de l'Eternel leur fut adressée par Aggée, le prophète, en ces mots:

4 Est-ce le temps pour vous d'habiter vos demeures lambrissées, Quand cette maison est détruite?

5 Ainsi parle maintenant l'Eternel des armées: Considérez attentivement vos voies!

6 Vous semez beaucoup, et vous recueillez peu, Vous mangez, et vous n'êtes pas rassasiés, Vous buvez, et vous n'êtes pas désaltérés, Vous êtes vêtus, et vous n'avez pas chaud; Le salaire de celui qui est à gages tombe dans un sac percé.

7 Ainsi parle l'Eternel des armées: Considérez attentivement vos voies!

8 Montez sur la montagne, apportez du bois, Et bâtissez la maison: J'en aurai de la joie, et je serai glorifié, Dit l'Eternel.

9 Vous comptiez sur beaucoup, et voici, vous avez eu peu; Vous l'avez rentré chez vous, mais j'ai soufflé dessus. Pourquoi? dit l'Eternel des armées. A cause de ma maison, qui est détruite, Tandis que vous vous empressez chacun pour sa maison.

10 C'est pourquoi les cieux vous ont refusé la rosée, Et la terre a refusé ses produits.

11 J'ai appelé la sécheresse sur le pays, sur les montagnes, Sur le blé, sur le moût, sur l'huile, Sur ce que la terre peut rapporter, Sur les hommes et sur les bêtes, Et sur tout le travail des mains.

12 Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, Josué, fils de Jotsadak, le souverain sacrificateur, et tout le reste du peuple, entendirent la voix de l'Eternel, leur Dieu, et les paroles d'Aggée, le prophète, selon la mission que lui avait donnée l'Eternel, leur Dieu. Et le peuple fut saisi de crainte devant l'Eternel.

13 Aggée, envoyé de l'Eternel, dit au peuple, d'après l'ordre de l'Eternel: Je suis avec vous, dit l'Eternel.

14 L'Eternel réveilla l'esprit de Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, gouverneur de Juda, et l'esprit de Josué, fils de Jotsadak, le souverain sacrificateur, et l'esprit de tout le reste du peuple. Ils vinrent, et ils se mirent à l'oeuvre dans la maison de L'Eternel des armées, leur Dieu,

15 le vingt-quatrième jour du sixième mois, la seconde année du roi Darius.

Word

  

'Word,' as in Isaiah 9:8, signifies the doctrine of internal and external worship. 'Word,' as in Psalms 119:6-17, stands for doctrine in general.

'The Word,' as in Psalms 147:18, signifies divine good united with divine truth.

The whole Word is nothing but the doctrine of love towards the Lord, and love towards our neighbor, as in Matthew 22.

1288. That 'words were one' means that they held to the same doctrine in its particular details is clear from what has been stated already, for 'lip' means doctrine in general, as has been shown, while 'words' means doctrine in detail, that is, particular details of doctrine. These, as has been stated make no difference provided they have the same end in view, which is to love the Lord above all things and the neighbour as oneself. When they do so they are the details that contribute to the general whole.

[2] That 'the Word' means all doctrine concerning charity and faith derived from it and that 'words' means the details that constitute doctrine is clear in David,

I will confess You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgements I will keep Your statutes. How will a young man make pure his path? By observing Your Word. With my whole heart I have sought You; cause me not to wander from Your commandments I have laid up Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Jehovah; teach me Your statutes! With my lips I have declared all the judgements of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies. I meditate on Your commands and look to Your ways. I delight in Your statutes, I do not forget Your Word. Psalms 119:7-16.

'The Word' stands for doctrine in general. The fact that here commandments, judgements, testimonies, commands, statutes, way, and lips, are distinguished shows plainly that they are all features of the Word, that is, of doctrine. The same applies wherever else in the Word these terms are used with different meanings.

[3] In the same author,

A love song. My heart is pondering 1 a goodly theme. 2 My tongue is the pen of a ready scribe You are the fairest of the sons of man. Grace has poured out from your lips. Ride on the word of truth, and of the meekness of righteousness Your right hand will teach you marvellous things. Psalms 45:1-2, 4.

'Riding on the word of truth, and of the meekness of righteousness' is teaching the doctrine of truth and good. Here, as elsewhere in the Word, word, mouth, lip, and tongue mean differing things. The fact that they all have to do with doctrine concerning charity is clear because it is called 'a love song', and it is to this doctrine that 'the fairest of the sons of man', 'grace on the lips', and 'a right hand that teaches marvellous things' have reference.

[4] In Isaiah,

The Lord 3 has sent a word into Jacob, and it has fallen on Israel. Isaiah 9:8.

'A word' stands for the doctrine of internal and external worship. Here 'Jacob' stands for external worship, 'Israel' for internal. In Matthew,

Jesus said, Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that goes out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4.

In the same gospel,

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not give heed to it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. Matthew 13:19

'The word' is again referred to in verses 20-23 of that chapter. In the same gospel,

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Matthew 24:35.

Here 'word' stands for the Lord's doctrine and 'words' for the things that constitute His doctrine.

[5] Since the term 'words' stands for everything that constitutes doctrine the Ten Commandments are therefore called 'words' in Moses,

Jehovah. wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words. Exodus 34:28.

In the same author,

He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the ten words, and He wrote them on two tables of stone. Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4.

In the same author,

Take heed, and guard your soul diligently, lest perhaps you forget the things 4 which your eyes have seen. Deuteronomy 4:9.

And there are further examples besides these.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The first Latin edition reads voluit (has willed) but comparison with the original Hebrew shows that volvit (is turning over or is pondering) is intended.

2. literally, a good word

3. The Latin has Jehovah but the Hebrew has the name meaning Lord, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.

4. literally, the words
