Sacharja 7

Studie

   

1 Und es begab sich im vierten Jahre des Königs Darius, da geschah das Wort Jehovas zu Sacharja, am vierten Tage des neunten Monats, im Monat Kislev,

2 als Bethel (d. h. die Einwohnerschaft von Bethel) den Scharezer und egem-Melech und seine Männer sandte, um Jehova anzuflehen,

3 und um den Priestern des Hauses Jehovas der Heerscharen und den Propheten zu sagen: Soll ich weinen im fünften Monat und mich enthalten (Die Juden hatten in der Verbannung die Sitte angenommen, zur Erinnerung an die Hauptereignisse bei der Einnahme Jerusalems an gewissen Tagen im 4., 5., 7. und 10. Monat zu fasten. (Vergl. v 5 und Kap. 8,19),) wie ich schon so viele Jahre getan habe?

4 Und das Wort Jehovas der Heerscharen geschah zu mir also:

5 ede zu dem ganzen Volke des Landes und zu den Priestern und sprich: Wenn ihr im fünften und im siebten Monat gefastet und gewehklagt habt, und zwar schon siebzig Jahre, habt ihr irgendwie mir gefastet?

6 Und wenn ihr esset, und wenn ihr trinket, seid nicht ihr die Essenden und ihr die Trinkenden?

7 Kennet ihr nicht die Worte, welche Jehova durch die früheren Propheten ausrief, als Jerusalem bewohnt und ruhig war, und seine Städte rings um dasselbe her, und der Süden und die Niederung bewohnt waren?

8 Und das Wort Jehovas geschah zu Sacharja also:

9 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen und sagt: Übet ein wahrhaftiges Gericht und erweiset Güte und Barmherzigkeit einer dem anderen;

10 und bedrücket nicht die Witwe und die Waise, den Fremdling und den Elenden; und sinnet keiner auf seines Bruders Unglück in euren Herzen.

11 Aber sie weigerten sich, aufzumerken, und zogen die Schulter widerspenstig zurück und machten ihre Ohren schwer, um nicht zu hören.

12 Und sie machten ihr Herz zu Diamant, um das Gesetz nicht zu hören, noch die Worte, welche Jehova der Heerscharen durch seinen Geist sandte mittelst der früheren Propheten; und so kam ein großer Zorn von seiten Jehovas der Heerscharen.

13 Und es geschah, gleichwie er gerufen, und sie nicht gehört hatten, also riefen sie, und ich hörte nicht, spricht Jehova der Heerscharen;

14 und ich stürmte sie hinweg unter alle Nationen (Eig. über alle Nationen hin,) die sie nicht kannten, und das Land wurde hinter ihnen verwüstet, so daß niemand hin und wieder zieht; und sie machten das köstliche Land zu einer Wüste.

51. Whenever the term spirit is applied to the Lord, it means in particular the life of His wisdom, which is Divine truth:

...I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go away, I will send Him to you. (John 16:7)

...when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; ...He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak. (John 16:13)

He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. (John 16:14-15)

I will ask the Father to give you another Counselor..., the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.... ...you will see Me. (John 14:16-19, cf. 14:26, 28)

...when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth..., He will testify of Me. (John 15:26)

...Jesus...cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.” This He said concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; ...the Holy Spirit did not yet exist, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (John 7:37-39)

(Jesus) breathed on (His disciples) and said..., “Receive the Holy Spirit.” (John 20:22)

[2] By the Counselor, the Spirit of truth, and the Holy Spirit, the Lord meant Himself, and this is apparent from the Lord’s saying that the world did not yet know the Counselor or Spirit of truth; for people did not as yet know the Lord. Moreover, when He said that He would send Him, He added, “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you, “ and “you will see Me” (John 14:16-19, 26, 28). At another time, too, He said, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). And when Thomas said, “We do not know where You are going, ” Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth” (John 14:5-6).

[3] Because the Spirit of truth, or Holy Spirit, is the same as the Lord, who is truth itself, therefore we are also told, “The Holy Spirit did not yet exist, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:39). For after the Lord’s glorification or complete union with the Father, which was achieved by His suffering of the cross, the Lord was then Divine wisdom itself and Divine truth itself, thus the Holy Spirit.

The Lord breathed on His disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit, ” because respiration in heaven is dependent wholly on the Lord. For angels breathe and their hearts beat just as in the case of people. Their respiration accords with their reception of Divine wisdom from the Lord, and the beating of their hearts or pulse accords with their reception of Divine love from the Lord. The reality of this will be seen in its own place.

[4] That the Holy Spirit is Divine truth received from the Lord is still more apparent from the following passages:

When they deliver you to the synagogues..., do not worry about...what you will say. ...the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you should say. (Luke 12:11-12, cf. 21:14, Mark 13:11, 12)

...said Jehovah, “...My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth....” (Isaiah 59:21)

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse.... He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the spirit [i.e., breath ] of His lips He shall slay the impious. Truth shall be the girdle of His loins.... (Isaiah 11:1, 4-5)

...with His mouth He commanded, and His Spirit gathered them. (Isaiah 34:16)

...those who worship (God) must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:24)

It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and...life. (John 6:63)

(John said,) “I...baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me...will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Matthew 3:11, cf. Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16)

To baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire means to regenerate by means of the Divine truth that is a property of faith and the Divine goodness that is a property of love.

When (Jesus) was baptized..., the heavens were opened..., and He saw the (Holy) Spirit...descending like a dove.... (Matthew 3:16, cf. Mark 1:10, Luke 3:21-22, John 1:32-33)

The dove represents purification and regeneration by means of Divine truth.

[5] Since the Holy Spirit, when applied to the Lord, means His Divine life, thus Himself, and in particular the life of His wisdom, which we call Divine truth, therefore the spirit spoken of by the Prophets — which is also called the Holy Spirit — means Divine truth received from the Lord. Such is the case in the following passages:

...the Spirit said to the churches.... (Revelation 2:7, 11, 29, 3:1, 3, 6, 13, 22)

...(the) seven lamps of fire burning before the throne...are the seven spirits of God. (Revelation 4:5)

...in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing..., having...seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. (Revelation 5:6)

The lamps of fire and the Lord’s eyes symbolize Divine truths, and the number seven symbolizes holiness.

...said the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors....” (Revelation 14:13)

The spirit and the bride say, “Come!” (Revelation 22:17)

They made their hearts adamant, so as not to hear the law or the words which Jehovah...sent by His Spirit through the...prophets. (Zechariah 7:12)

The spirit of Elijah came over Elisha. (2 Kings 2:15)

(John went) before...in the spirit and power of Elijah.... (Luke 1:17)

Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit (and prophesied). (Luke 1:41-45)

Zacharias...was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied.... (Luke 1:67)

...David...said by the Holy Spirit: “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at My right....’ ” (Mark 12:36)

...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10)

Now because the Holy Spirit in particular means the Lord in relation to Divine wisdom, and so in relation to Divine truth, it is apparent why it is said of the Holy Spirit that it enlightens, teaches, and inspires.
