1 Χειρ Κυριου εσταθη επ' εμε· και με εξηγαγεν ο Κυριος δια πνευματος και με εθεσεν εν μεσω πεδιαδος και αυτη ητο πληρης οστεων.

2 Και με εκαμε να διελθω πλησιον αυτων κυκλω· και ιδου, ησαν πολλα σφοδρα επι το προσωπον της πεδιαδος· και ιδου, ησαν καταξηρα.

3 Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, δυνανται τα οστα ταυτα να αναζησωσι; Και ειπα, Κυριε Θεε, συ εξευρεις.

4 Και ειπε προς εμε, Προφητευσον επι τα οστα ταυτα και ειπε προς αυτα, Τα οστα τα ξηρα, ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου·

5 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος προς τα οστα ταυτα· Ιδου, εγω θελω εμβαλει εις εσας πνευμα και θελετε αναζησει·

6 και θελω βαλει εφ' υμας νευρα και αναγαγει σαρκα εφ' υμας και περισκεπασει υμας με δερμα, και θελω εμβαλει εις εσας πνευμα και θελετε αναζησει και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

7 Και προεφητευσα, ως προσεταχθην· και καθως προεφητευσα, εγεινεν ηχος, και ιδου, σεισμος, και τα οστα συνηλθον ομου, οστουν μετα του οστου αυτου.

8 Και ειδον και ιδου, νευρα και σαρκες ανεφυησαν επ' αυτα και δερμα περιεσκεπασεν αυτα επανω· πνευμα ομως δεν ητο εν αυτοις.

9 Και ειπε προς εμε, προφητευσον επι το πνευμα, προφητευσον, υιε ανθρωπου, και ειπε προς το πνευμα, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ελθε, πνευμα, εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων και εμφυσησον επι τους πεφονευμενους τουτους και ας αναζησωσι.

10 Και προεφητευσα, ως προσεταχθην· και το πνευμα εισηλθεν εις αυτους και ανεζησαν και εσταθησαν επι τους ποδας αυτων, στρατευμα μεγα σφοδρα.

11 Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, τα οστα ταυτα ειναι πας ο οικος Ισραηλ· ιδου, ουτοι λεγουσι, τα οστα ημων εξηρανθησαν και η ελπις ημων εχαθη· ημεις ηφανισθημεν.

12 Δια τουτο προφητευσον και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, λαε μου, εγω ανοιγω τους ταφους σας και θελω σας αναβιβασει εκ των ταφων σας, θελω σας φερει εις την γην του Ισραηλ.

13 Και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, οταν, λαε μου, ανοιξω τους ταφους σας και σας αναβιβασω εκ των ταφων σας.

14 Και θελω δωσει το πνευμα μου εις εσας και θελετε αναζησει και θελω σας θεσει εν τη γη υμων, και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ο Κυριος ελαλησα και εξετελεσα, λεγει Κυριος.

15 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

16 Και συ, υιε ανθρωπου, λαβε εις σεαυτον ραβδον μιαν και γραψον επ' αυτην περι του Ιουδα και περι των υιων Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου· λαβε και αλλην ραβδον και γραψον επ' αυτην περι του Ιωσηφ, της ραβδον του Εφραιμ, και παντος του οικου Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου.

17 Και συναψον αυτας εις σεαυτον μιαν προς μιαν εις ραβδον μιαν και θελουσι γεινει μια εν τη χειρι σου.

18 Και οταν οι υιοι του λαου σου ειπωσι προς σε, λεγοντες, Δεν θελεις απαγγειλει εις ημας τι δηλουσιν εις σε ταυτα;

19 ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, εγω θελω λαβει την ραβδον του Ιωσηφ, την εν τη χειρι του Εφραιμ, και των φυλων του Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου, και θελω βαλει εκεινας μετα ταυτης, της ραβδου του Ιουδα, και καμει αυτας μιαν ραβδον, και θελουσιν εισθαι μια εν τη χειρι μου.

20 Και αι ραβδοι, επι τας οποιας εγραψας, θελουσιν εισθαι εν τη χειρι σου ενωπιον αυτων.

21 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, εγω θελω λαβει τους υιους Ισραηλ εκ μεσου των εθνων οπου υπηγον, και θελω συναξει αυτους πανταχοθεν και φερει αυτους εις την γην αυτων.

22 Και θελω καμει αυτους εν εθνος εν τη γη, επι των ορεων του Ισραηλ· και εις βασιλευς θελει εισθαι βασιλευς επι παντας αυτους· και δεν θελουσιν εισθαι πλεον δυο εθνη και δεν θελουσιν εισθαι του λοιπου διηρημενοι πλεον εις δυο βασιλεια·

23 και δεν θελουσι μιαινεσθαι πλεον εν τοις ειδωλοις αυτων ουδε εν τοις βδελυγμασιν αυτων ουδε εν πασαις ταις παραβασεσιν αυτων· αλλα θελω σωσει αυτους εκ πασων των κατοικησεων αυτων, εν αις ημαρτησαν, και θελω καθαρισει αυτους· και θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων.

24 Και Δαβιδ ο δουλος μου θελει εισθαι βασιλευς επ' αυτους· και θελει εισθαι επι παντας αυτους εις ποιμην· και θελουσι περιπατει εν ταις κρισεσι μου και θελουσι φυλαττει τα διαταγματα μου και εκτελει αυτα.

25 Και θελουσι κατοικει εν τη γη, την οποιαν εδωκα εις τον δουλον μου τον Ιακωβ, οπου κατωκησαν οι πατερες σας· και εν αυτη θελουσι κατοικει, αυτοι και τα τεκνα αυτων και τα τεκνα των τεκνων αυτων, εως αιωνος· και Δαβιδ ο δουλος μου θελει εισθαι αρχων αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

26 Και θελω καμει προς αυτους διαθηκην ειρηνης· αυτη θελει εισθαι διαθηκη αιωνιος προς αυτους· και θελω στηριξει αυτους και πληθυνει αυτους, και θελω θεσει το αγιαστηριον μου εν μεσω αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

27 Και η σκηνη μου θελει εισθαι εν μεσω αυτων, και θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων και αυτοι θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου.

28 Και θελουσι γνωρισει τα εθνη οτι εγω ο Κυριος ειμαι ο αγιαζων τον Ισραηλ, οταν το αγιαστηριον μου ηναι εν μεσω αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

9481. 'In accordance with all that I show you, the pattern of the dwelling-place' means a representative of heaven where the Lord is. This is clear from the meaning of 'the pattern of the dwelling-place' as a representative of heaven; for 'the pattern' means a representative, and 'the dwelling-place' means heaven. The reason why 'the pattern' means a representative is that Divine realities in heaven are also manifested in visible shapes, which are representatives. For the meaning of 'the dwelling-place' as heaven where the Lord is, see 8269, 8309. What the representatives that appear in heaven are like is clear in the prophets, for example in John's Book of Revelation, in which he describes lampstands, Chapter 1:12ff; a throne with twenty-four thrones around it, and four living creatures before the throne, Chapter 4:2ff; a book sealed with seven seals, Chapter 5; horses going out when the seals were opened, Chapter 6; angels who are clothed in various ways and have bowls, Chapters 9, 10, 15, 16; a white horse, Chapter 19; and at length a new Jerusalem, its walls, gates, foundations, height, breadth, and length, Chapters 21, 22. Similar sights are also described by other prophets.

[2] All those sights are representatives such as appear unceasingly in heaven before angels' eyes, manifesting in visible shapes the Divine celestial realities that belong to the good of love and the Divine spiritual realities that belong to the good of faith. Such realities taken all together were represented by the tabernacle and its contents, that is, the ark itself, the table on which loaves were laid, the altar of incense, the lampstand, and everything else. Therefore when these objects, being outward forms of Divine celestial and spiritual realities, were beheld by the people while they were engaged in holy acts of worship, such realities as were represented by those objects were brought to notice in heaven. These, as stated above, were the Divine celestial realities that belong to the good of love to the Lord and the Divine spiritual realities that belong to the good of faith in the Lord. All the representatives of that Church had that kind of effect in heaven. It should be realized that a person always has spirits and angels present with him and that a person cannot live without them. It should likewise be realized that through them the person is linked to the Lord, and that in this way the human race, and heaven too, is kept in being. From this one can see what purpose was served by the representatives and also the ritual observances of the Church established among the Israelite nation. One can also see what purpose is served by the Word, in which all things mentioned in the sense of the letter correspond to Divine realities that exist in heaven, thus in which all the objects mentioned are representative and all the words used carry a spiritual meaning. This is what brings about the linking of a person to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord. Without that link the person would have no life whatever, for without being linked to the actual Essential Being (Esse) of life, from which the Coming-into-Being (Existere) of life emanates, no one has life.

[3] But these considerations are unintelligible to those who think that life exists essentially in a person himself and that a person lives without spirits or angels, thus without influx from the Divine by way of heaven. But in actual fact anything that is not linked to the Divine perishes and ceases to exist. Indeed nothing can ever come into being without that which is prior to itself, thus without the Divine, who is the First and is self-existent Being (Esse) or Jehovah; nor consequently can it remain in being, for remaining in being is constant coming-into-being. Because 'the dwelling-place' means heaven where the Lord is, it also means the good of love and faith, since these compose heaven; and because all good comes from the Lord, and heaven is called heaven by virtue of its love to and faith in the Lord, 'the dwelling-place' also means in the highest sense the Lord, as is evident in Isaiah 63:15; Jeremiah 25:30; Ezekiel 37:26-27; Psalms 26:8; 43:3; 90:1; 91:9; Exodus 15:13; Deuteronomy 12:5, 11; and other places. From this it is clear that the tabernacle was called Jehovah's sanctuary and dwelling-place for the reason that it represented the realities mentioned above.

Revelation 6

Studie

   

1 I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!"

2 And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!"

4 Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.

5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come and see!" And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.

6 I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine!"

7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see!"

8 And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.

10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

11 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.

13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.

14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.

16 They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

17 for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
