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.

Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

Temple

  

'A temple' represents heaven and the church. The sacred place where the ark was, represents the inmost, or third heaven, and the church among people in the inmost principle, called the celestial church. The temple outside the sacred place represents the middle, or second heaven, and the church with people in similar principles, called the internal spiritual church. The inner court represents the outermost or first heaven, also the church with people in outer degrees, called the internal natural church. The outer court represents entrance into heaven.

'Temple,' as in Revelation 15:8, signifies divine truth, or the Word in the natural sense, in light and power from the divine truth in the spiritual sense.

'I saw no temple in it,' as in Revelation 21:22, does not mean that in the new church, which is New Jerusalem, there will be no temple, but that externals will not be separated from internals. This is because 'a temple' signifies the church regarding worship, and in the highest sense, the Lord Himself regarding the divine humanity, who should be worshiped. Because the whole church is from the Lord, it says, 'for the Lord God Omnipotent and the Lamb is the temple thereof,' which signifies the Lord in His divine humanity.

'Temple,' as in Luke 21:5-7, signifies the church at this day, in which there is no truth left remaining, and as a result, is at an end.

'Temple' signifies the higher heavens.

'Temple' signifies the Lord's divine human with respect to divine truth.

'The temple of His body,' as in John 2:21, signifies the divine truth from the divine good.
