1 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

2 Μη λαβης εις σεαυτον γυναικα μηδε να γεινωσιν εις σε υιοι μηδε θυγατερες εν τω τοπω τουτω.

3 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος περι των υιων και περι των θυγατερων των γεννωμενων εν τω τοπω τουτω και περι των μητερων αυτων, αιτινες εγεννησαν αυτους, και περι των πατερων αυτων, οιτινες ετεκνοποιησαν αυτους εν τη γη ταυτη·

4 θελουσιν αποθανει με οδυνηρον θανατον· δεν θελουσι κλαυθη ουδε θελουσι ταφη· θελουσιν εισθαι δια κοπριαν επι το προσωπον της γης, και θελουσιν αφανισθη υπο μαχαιρας και υπο πεινης, και τα πτωματα αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι τροφη εις τα πετεινα του ουρανου και εις τα θηρια της γης.

5 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Μη εισελθης εις οικον πενθους και μη υπαγης να πενθησης μηδε να συγκλαυσης αυτους· διοτι αφηρεσα την ειρηνην μου απο του λαου τουτου, λεγει Κυριος, το ελεος και τους οικτιρμους.

6 Και θελουσιν αποθανει μεγαλοι και μικροι εν τη γη ταυτη· δεν θελουσι ταφη ουδε θελουσι κλαυσει αυτους ουδε θελουσι καμει εντομας εις τα σωματα αυτων ουδε θελουσι ξυρισθη δι' αυτους·

7 ουδε θελουσι διαμοιρασει αρτον εις το πενθος προς παρηγοριαν αυτων δια τον τεθνεωτα, ουδε θελουσι ποτισει αυτους το ποτηριον της παρηγοριας δια τον πατερα αυτων η δια την μητερα αυτων.

8 Και δεν θελεις εισελθει εις οικον συμποσιου, δια να συγκαθησης μετ' αυτων δια να φαγης και να πιης.

9 Διοτι ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ Ιδου, εγω θελω παυσει απο του τοπου τουτου, ενωπιον των οφθαλμων υμων και εν ταις ημεραις υμων, την φωνην της χαρας και την φωνην της ευφροσυνης, την φωνην του νυμφιου και την φωνην της νυμφης.

10 Και οταν αναγγειλης προς τον λαον τουτον παντας τουτους τους λογους, και ειπωσι προς σε, Δια τι ο Κυριος επροφερεν απαν τουτο το μεγα κακον εναντιον ημων; και τις η ανομια ημων; και τις η αμαρτια ημων, την οποιαν ημαρτησαμεν εις Κυριον τον Θεον ημων;

11 Τοτε θελεις ειπει προς αυτους, Επειδη με εγκατελιπον οι πατερες υμων, λεγει Κυριος, και υπηγαν οπισω αλλων θεων και ελατρευσαν αυτους και προσεκυνησαν αυτους και εγκατελιπον εμε και τον νομον μου δεν εφυλαξαν·

12 και επειδη σεις επραξατε χειροτερα παρα τους πατερας υμων, και ιδου, περιπατειτε εκαστος οπισω της ορεξεως της πονηρας αυτου καρδιας, ωστε να μη υπακουητε εις εμε·

13 δια τουτο θελω απορριψει υμας απο της γης ταυτης, εις την γην, την οποιαν δεν εγνωρισατε, υμεις και οι πατερες υμων· και εκει θελετε λατρευσει αλλους θεους ημεραν και νυκτα· διοτι δεν θελω καμει ελεος προς υμας.

14 Δια τουτο ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και δεν θελουσιν ειπει πλεον, Ζη Κυριος, οστις ανηγαγε τους υιους Ισραηλ εκ γης Αιγυπτου,

15 αλλα, Ζη Κυριος, οστις ανηγαγε τους υιους Ισραηλ εκ της γης του βορρα και εκ παντων των τοπων οπου ειχε διωξει αυτους· και θελω επαναφερει αυτους παλιν εις την γην αυτων, την οποιαν εδωκα εις τους πατερας αυτων.

16 Ιδου, θελω αποστειλει πολλους αλιεις, λεγει Κυριος, και θελουσιν αλιευσει αυτους· και μετα ταυτα θελω αποστειλει πολλους κυνηγους και θελουσι θηρευσει αυτους απο παντος ορους και απο παντος λοφου και απο των σχισμων των βραχων.

17 Διοτι οι οφθαλμοι μου ειναι επι πασας τας οδους αυτων· δεν ειναι κεκρυμμεναι απο του προσωπου μου ουδε η ανομια αυτων ειναι κεκρυμμενη απ' εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων μου.

18 Και πρωτον θελω ανταποδωσει διπλα την ανομιαν αυτων και την αμαρτιαν αυτων· διοτι εμιαναν την γην μου με τα πτωματα των βδελυγματων αυτων και ενεπλησαν την κληρονομιαν μου απο των μιασματων αυτων.

19 Κυριε, δυναμις μου και φρουριον μου και καταφυγη μου εν ημερα θλιψεως, τα εθνη θελουσιν ελθει προς σε απο των περατων της γης και θελουσιν ειπει, Βεβαιως οι πατερες ημων εκληρονομησαν ψευδος, ματαιοτητα και τα ανωφελη.

20 Θελει καμει ανθρωπος εις εαυτον θεους τους μη οντας θεους;

21 Δια τουτο, ιδου, θελω καμει αυτους ταυτην την φοραν να γνωρισωσι, θελω καμει αυτους να γνωρισωσι την χειρα μου και την δυναμιν μου, και θελουσι γνωρισει οτι το ονομα μου ειναι ο Κυριος.

Apocalypse Revealed # 797

797. "And the sound of a bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore." This symbolically means that those caught up in the Roman Catholic religion because of its doctrine and a life in accordance with it have no conjunction of goodness and truth, which is what forms the church.

The sound here symbolizes joy, because it is the sound of a bridegroom and bride. In the highest sense a bridegroom means the Lord in respect to Divine good, and a bride means the church in respect to Divine truth from the Lord. For a church is a church by virtue of its reception of the Lord's Divine goodness in the Divine truths that it has from Him.

It is apparent from the Word that the Lord is called a bridegroom and also a husband, and that the church is called a bride and also a wife. That this produces the heavenly marriage that is a marriage of goodness and truth will be seen in a short work, On Marriage. 1

Now because this heavenly marriage is produced in people in the church by their receiving Divine goodness from the Lord in Divine truths drawn from the Word, it is apparent that there is no conjunction of goodness and truth in people caught up in the Roman Catholic religion because of its doctrine and so a life in conformity with it, since they have no conjunction with the Lord, but instead a conjunction with men, living and dead. This conjunction in people caught up in a love of exercising dominion from a love of self over the Divine sanctities belonging to the Lord, and over the Lord Himself, is as though a conjunction with the Devil, who, as we said in the preceding number, is that love. And to turn to the Devil in order to come by him to God is detestable.

[2] That the Lord is called a bridegroom and the church a bride is apparent from the following passages:

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. (John 3:29)

This John the Baptist said in reference to the Lord.

Jesus said..., "As long as the bridegroom is with them, the wedding guests cannot fast. The day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast. (Matthew 9:15, cf. Mark 2:19-20)

I... saw the holy city, New Jerusalem..., prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2)

(An angel said,) "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." (Revelation 21:9-10)

...(the time for) the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready... Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:7, 9)

The bridegroom whom the ten virgins went out to meet, also means the Lord (Matthew 25:1-13).

[3] From these passages it is apparent what the sound and joy of a bridegroom and bride symbolize in following places:

As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. (Isaiah 62:5)

My soul shall rejoice over my God..., as a bridegroom puts on the turban, and as a bride adorns herself with her vessels. (Isaiah 61:10)

Again there shall be heard in this place... the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the bridegroom and the sound of the bride, the sound of those saying, "Confess Jehovah Zebaoth...." (Jeremiah 33:10-11)

Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, and the bride from her room. (Joel 2:16)

I will cause to cease... from the streets of Jerusalem the sound of mirth and the sound of gladness, the sound of the bridegroom and the sound of the bride. (Jeremiah 7:34, cf. 16:9)

I will take from them the sound of mirth and the sound of gladness, the sound of the bridegroom and the sound of the bride, the sound of mills and the light of the lamp. And this whole land shall be a desolation (because of) the king of Babylon... (Jeremiah 25:10-11)

[4] From this one can now see the successive meanings in these two verses, that those caught up in the Roman Catholic religion will not have any affection for spiritual truth and goodness (no. 792); that they are without any understanding of spiritual truth, and so are without any thought of spiritual truth (no. 793), for thought springs from affection and accords with it; that neither do they inquire into, investigate, or confirm spiritual truth (no. 794); that they are also without any enlightenment from the Lord and so without any perception of spiritual truth (no. 796); and finally that they have no conjunction of goodness and truth, which is what forms the church (no. 797).

Thus the literal pronouncements also follow in sequence.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. A reference to a work by that title never published by the writer. Extant in manuscript are a brief outline, a relatively short preliminary draft, and two indices for a longer draft on the subject of marriage that has not been found. The content of the existing material makes clear that these manuscripts, including the missing longer draft, were written in preparation for Delights of Wisdom Relating to Married Love (or Conjugial Love), Followed By Pleasures of Insanity Relating to Licentious Love, which the writer published in 1768, two years after publishing the present work on the Apocalypse.
