Jona 2

Studie

   

1 Und Jona betete zudem HERRN, seinem Gott, im Leibe des Fisches

2 und sprach: Ich rief zu dem HERRN in meiner Angst, und er antwortete mir ich schrie aus dem Bauch der Hölle, und du höretest meine Stimme.

3 Du warfst mich in die Tiefe mitten im Meer, daß die Fluten mich umgaben; alle deine Wogen und Wellen gingen über mich,

4 daß ich gedachte, ich wäre von deinen Augen verstoßen, ich würde deinen heiligen Tempel nicht mehr sehen.

5 Wasser umgaben mich bis an mein Leben; die Tiefe umringete mich; Schilf bedeckte mein Haupt.

6 Ich sank hinunter zu der Berge Gründen; die Erde hatte mich verriegelt ewiglich. Aber du hast mein Leben aus dem Verderben geführet, HERR, mein Gott!

7 Da meine Seele bei mir verzagte, gedachte ich an den HERRN; und mein Gebet kam zu dir in deinen heiligen Tempel.

8 Die da halten über dem Nichtigen, verlassen ihre Gnade.

9 Ich aber will mit Dank opfern; meine Gelübde will ich bezahlen dem HERRN, daß er mir geholfen hat.

10 Und der HERR sprach zum Fisch, und derselbe speiete Jona aus ans Land.

6880. 'I Am Who I Am' means the Being and the Coming-into-Being of all things throughout creation. This is clear from the fact that 'I Am' means to have Being, and since He alone is Being 'I Am' is used as a name. The reason why 'I Am' occurs twice - that is to say, in 'I Am Who I Am' - is that in one place it means the Being and in the other the Coming-into-Being, Thus one means the Divine itself, which is called the Father, and the other means the Divine Human, which is called the Son; for the Divine Human comes into being from the Divine itself. But now that the Lord has become Divine Being, which is Jehovah, in respect of His Human too, Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord's Divine Human is the Divine Coming-into-Being arising from the Divine Being. From this it may be seen that the Divine Being cannot make contact with anyone except through the Divine Coming-into-Being; that is, the Divine itself cannot make contact except through the Divine Human, and the Divine Human cannot do so except through Divine Truth, which is the holy emanation of the spirit. This is implied by the words in John 1:7, 'all things were made through the Word'. The appearance to man is that Divine Truth is not the kind of thing that can bring something into being; for it is thought to be like an utterance which is discharged from the mouth and scattered to the winds. But the reality is altogether different. Divine Truth emanating from the Lord is something very real indeed. Its nature is such that it is the source from which all things come into being and from which all things are kept in being; for what emanates from the Lord is the most real thing in the whole of creation. Such is the nature of Divine Truth, which is called 'the Word through which all things were made'.
