Exode 33

Studie

   

1 L'Eternel donc dit à Moïse : va, monte d'ici, toi et le peuple que tu as fait monter du pays d'Egypte, au pays duquel j'ai juré à Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, en disant : je le donnerai à ta postérité.

2 Et j'enverrai un Ange devant toi, et je chasserai les Cananéens, les Amorrhéens, les Héthiens; les Phérésiens, les Héviens; et les Jébusiens,

3 [pour vous conduire] au pays découlant de lait et de miel, mais je ne monterai point au milieu de toi, parce que tu [es] un peuple de col roide, de peur que je ne te consume en chemin.

4 Et le peuple ouït ces tristes nouvelles, et en mena deuil, et aucun d'eux ne mit ses ornements sur soi.

5 Car l'Eternel avait dit à Moïse : dis aux enfants d'Israël : vous êtes un peuple de col roide; je monterai en un moment au milieu de toi, et je te consumerai. Maintenant donc ôte tes ornements de dessus toi, et je saurai ce que je te ferai.

6 Ainsi les enfants d'Israël se dépouillèrent de leurs ornements, vers la montagne d'Horeb.

7 Et Moïse prit un pavillon, et le tendit pour soi hors du camp, l'éloignant du camp; et il l'appela le pavillon d'assignation; et tous ceux qui cherchaient l'Eternel, sortaient vers le pavillon d'assignation, qui était hors du camp.

8 Et il arrivait qu'aussitôt que Moïse sortait vers le pavillon, tout le peuple se levait, et chacun se tenait à l'entrée de sa tente, et regardait Moïse par derrière, jusqu’à ce qu'il fût entré dans le pavillon.

9 Et sitôt que Moïse était entré dans le pavillon, la colonne de nuée descendait, et s'arrêtait à la porte du pavillon, et [l'Eternel] parlait avec Moïse.

10 Et tout le peuple voyant la colonne de nuée s'arrêtant à la porte du pavillon, se levait, et chacun se prosternait à la porte de sa tente.

11 Et l'Eternel parlait à Moïse face à face; comme un homme parle avec son intime ami; puis [Moïse] retournait au camp, mais son serviteur Josué fils de Nun, jeune homme, ne bougeait point du pavillon.

12 Moïse donc dit à l'Eternel : regarde, tu m'as dit : fais monter ce peuple, et tu ne m'as point fait connaître celui que tu dois envoyer avec moi; tu as même dit : je te connais par ton nom, et aussi, tu as trouvé grâce devant mes yeux

13 Or maintenant, je te prie, si j'ai trouvé grâce devant tes yeux, fais-moi connaître ton chemin, et je te connaîtrai, afin que je trouve grâce devant tes yeux; considère aussi que cette nation est ton peuple.

14 Et [l'Eternel] dit : ma face ira, et je te donnerai du repos.

15 Et [Moïse] lui dit : si ta face ne vient, ne nous fais point monter d'ici.

16 Car en quoi connaîtra-t-on que nous ayons trouvé grâce devant tes yeux, moi et ton peuple? Ne sera-ce pas quand tu marcheras avec nous? et [alors] moi et ton peuple serons en admiration, plus que tous les peuples qui sont sur la terre.

17 Et l'Eternel dit à Moïse : je ferai aussi ce que tu dis; car tu as trouvé grâce devant mes yeux, et je t'ai connu par [ton] nom.

18 [Moïse] dit aussi : je te prie, fais-moi voir ta gloire.

19 Et [Dieu] dit : je ferai passer toute ma bonté devant ta face, et je crierai le nom de l'Eternel devant toi; et je ferai grâce à qui je ferai grâce, et j'aurai compassion de celui de qui j'aurai compassion.

20 Puis il dit : tu ne pourras pas voir ma face; car nul homme ne peut me voir, et vivre.

21 L'Eternel dit aussi : voici, il y a un lieu par-devers moi, et tu t'arrêteras sur le rocher;

22 Et quand ma gloire passera, je te mettrai dans l'ouverture du rocher, et te couvrirai de ma main, jusqu’à ce que je sois passé;

23 Puis je retirerai ma main, et tu me verras par derrière, mais ma face ne se verra point.

Tabernacle

  

In 1 Samuel 1:9, the tabernacle signifies the truth of faith with man. (Arcana Coelestia 2048)

A temple signifies the Lord's spiritual church; in a universal sense, the spiritual kingdom; in the highest sense, the Lord as to His Divine Truth. (Arcana Coelestia 3720)

In 1 Samuel 3:3, when the lamp had not been put out, and Samuel was sleeping in the tabernacle, this signifies that the extinction of truth in worship had not yet been fully accomplished. (Apocalypse Explained 403[18])

In Psalm 65:4, being satisfied with the goodness of the holy place of the temple signifies to be intelligent from divine truth, and to realize heavenly joy therefrom. (Apocalypse Explained 630[11])

In Revelation 21:22, that there is no temple in the New Jerusalem signifies that in that new church, the external worship will not be separate from internal. (Apocalypse Explained 918)

'The Tabernacle,' as in Revelation 13, signifies the church regarding doctrine and worship. 'The tabernacle' has almost the same meaning as 'temple,' that is, in the highest sense, the Lord's divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church. But 'tabernacle' as heaven and the church signifies the celestial church, which is in the good of love from the Lord to the Lord, and 'temple,' the spiritual church, which is in the truths of wisdom from the Lord. 'The tabernacle' signifies the celestial kingdom, because the most ancient church, which was celestial, in a state of love to the Lord, performed divine worship in tabernacles. The ancient church, which was a spiritual church, performed divine worship in temples. Tabernacles were made of wood, and temples, stone. 'Wood' signifies good, and 'stone,' truth. Since the most ancient church, a celestial church, because of their love to the Lord, and resulting conjunction with Him, celebrated divine worship in tabernacles, so the Lord commanded Moses to build a tabernacle, which represented everything of heaven and the church. It was so holy, that it was not lawful for anyone to go into it, except Moses, Aaron, and his sons. If any of the people entered, they would die, as in Numbers 17:12-13, 18:1, 22, 23, and 19:14-19. The ark was in its center, which contained the two tables of the Decalogue, and was topped with the mercy seat and the cherubim. Outside of the veil, there were the table for the shew-bread, the altar of incense, and the candlestick with seven lamps. All of these things represented heaven and the church. The Tabernacle is described Exodus 26:7-16 and 36:8-37, and its design was shown to Moses on Mount Sinai, as in Exodus 25:9 and 26:30. Anything seen from heaven is representative of heaven, and so of the church. The feast of tabernacles was instituted in memory of the most holy worship of the Lord in tabernacles by the most ancient people, and of their conjunction with Him by love, as mentioned in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14 and Zechariah 14:16-19.

Zechariah 14

Studie

   

1 Behold, a day of Yahweh comes, when your spoil will be divided in your midst.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city will be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go out into captivity, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

3 Then Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west, making a very great valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5 You shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall flee, just like you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with you.

6 It will happen in that day, that there will not be light, cold, or frost.

7 It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light.

8 It will happen in that day, that living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter will it be.

9 Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.

10 All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.

11 Men will dwell therein, and there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will dwell safely.

12 This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth.

13 It will happen in that day, that a great panic from Yahweh will be among them; and they will lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.

15 So will be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the animals that will be in those camps, as that plague.

16 It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, and to keep the feast of tents.

17 It will be, that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn't go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, on them there will be no rain.

18 If the family of Egypt doesn't go up, and doesn't come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike the nations that don't go up to keep the feast of tents.

19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that don't go up to keep the feast of tents.

20 In that day there will be on the bells of the horses, "HOLY TO YAHWEH;" and the pots in YAHWEH's house will be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of Armies; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of Armies.
