Joel 3

Studie

   

1 Διοτι, ιδου, εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω, οταν επιστρεψω τους αιχμαλωτους του Ιουδα και της Ιερουσαλημ,

2 θελω συναξει ετι παντα τα εθνη και θελω καταβιβασει αυτα εις την κοιλαδα του Ιωσαφατ, και θελω κριθη μετ' αυτων εκει υπερ του λαου μου και της κληρονομιας μου Ισραηλ, τον οποιον διεσπειραν μεταξυ των εθνων και διεμοιρασθησαν την γην μου·

3 και ερριψαν κληρους δια τον λαον μου· και εδωκαν παιδιον δια πορνην και επωλουν κορασιον δια οινον και επινον.

4 Και ετι τι εχετε σεις να καμητε μετ' εμου, Τυρε και Σιδων και παντα τα ορια της Παλαιστινης; θελετε μοι ανταποδωσει ανταποδομα; εαν σεις ανταποδωσητε εις εμε, χωρις αργοποριας ταχεως θελω επιστρεψει το ανταποδομα σας επι την κεφαλην σας.

5 Διοτι ελαβετε το αργυριον μου και το χρυσιον μου, και τα εκλεκτα μου αγαθα εφερετε εις τους ναους σας.

6 Τους δε υιους Ιουδα και τους υιους Ιερουσαλημ επωλησατε εις τους υιους των Ελληνων, δια να απομακρυνητε αυτους απο των οριων αυτων.

7 Ιδου, εγω θελω εγειρει αυτους απο του τοπου οπου επωλησατε αυτους, και θελω επιστρεψει το ανταποδομα σας επι την κεφαλην σας.

8 Και θελω πωλησει τους υιους σας και τας θυγατερας σας εις την χειρα των υιων Ιουδα, και θελουσι πωλησει αυτους εις τους Σαβαιους, εις εθνος μακραν απεχον· διοτι ο Κυριος ελαλησε.

9 Κηρυξατε τουτο εν τοις εθνεσιν, αγιασατε πολεμον, διεγειρατε τους μαχητας, ας πλησιασωσιν, ας αναβαινωσι παντες οι ανδρες του πολεμου·

10 σφυρηλατησατε τα υνια σας εις ρομφαιας και τα δρεπανα σας εις λογχας· ο αδυνατος ας λεγη, Εγω ειμαι δυνατος·

11 Συναθροισθητε και ελθετε κυκλοθεν, παντα τα εθνη, και συναχθητε ομου· εκει θελει καταστρεψει ο Κυριος τους ισχυρους σου.

12 Ας εγερθωσι και ας αναβωσι τα εθνη εις την κοιλαδα του Ιωσαφατ· διοτι εκει θελω καθησει δια να κρινω παντα τα εθνη τα κυκλοθεν.

13 Βαλετε δρεπανον, διοτι ο θερισμος ειναι ωριμος· ελθετε, καταβητε· διοτι ο ληνος ειναι πληρης, τα υποληνια υπερεκχειλιζουσιν· επειδη η κακια αυτων ειναι μεγαλη.

14 Πληθη, πληθη εις την κοιλαδα της δικης· διοτι εγγυς ειναι η ημερα του Κυριου εις την κοιλαδα της δικης.

15 Ο ηλιος και σεληνη θελουσι συσκοτασει και οι αστερες θελουσι συρει οπισω το φεγγος αυτων.

16 Ο δε Κυριος θελει βρυχησει εκ Σιων και εκπεμψει την φωνην αυτου εξ Ιερουσαλημ· και οι ουρανοι και η γη θελουσι σεισθη· αλλ' ο Κυριος θελει εισθαι το καταφυγιον του λαου αυτου και η ισχυς των υιων Ισραηλ.

17 Ουτω θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας, ο κατοικων εν Σιων, τω ορει τω αγιω μου· τοτε η Ιερουσαλημ θελει εισθαι αγια και αλλογενεις δεν θελουσι διελθει δι' αυτης πλεον.

18 Και εν τη ημερα εκεινη τα ορη θελουσι σταλαξει γλευκος και οι λοφοι θελουσι ρεει γαλα και παντες οι ρυακες του Ιουδα θελουσι ρεει υδατα και πηγη θελει εξελθει εκ του οικου του Κυριου και θελει ποτιζει την φαραγγα του Σιττειμ.

19 Η Αιγυπτος θελει εισθαι ηρημωμενη και ο Εδωμ θελει εισθαι ερημος αβατος δια τας εις τους υιους Ιουδα αδικιας, διοτι εχυσαν αιμα αθωον εν τη γη αυτων.

20 Η δε Ιουδαια θελει κατοικεισθαι εις τον αιωνα και η Ιερουσαλημ εις γενεας γενεων.

21 Και θελω καθαρισει το αιμα αυτων, το οποιον δεν εκαθαρισα· διοτι ο Κυριος κατοικει εν Σιων.

1736. The fact that the Lord is Jehovah, who is here called 'God Most High', is quite clear from the Word: in Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth He is called. Isaiah 54:5.

Here it is explicitly stated that 'the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel', who is the Lord alone, is 'Jehovah Zebaoth' and 'the God of the whole earth'. In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah your God. Isaiah 48:17.

In the same prophet,

I am helping you, said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14.

The expressions 'the Holy One of Israel' and 'the God of Israel' occur many times. That the Lord is the Holy One of Israel and the God of Israel is quite clear from where it is said that they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was so to speak a paved work of sapphire stone, like the substance of the sky for purity, Exodus 24:10.

[2] None other was acknowledged and called Jehovah by the Jewish Church because that Church worshipped the one God Jehovah, and more importantly, because all the religious observances of that Church represented Him -- though the majority did not know this - and because all things in the internal sense of the Word had Him as their meaning. In Isaiah,

He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from all faces. And it will be said on that day, Behold, this is our God, we have waited for Him and He will save us. This is Jehovah, whom we have waited for; let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation. Isaiah 25:8-9.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord.

[3] In the same prophet,

Behold, the Lord Jehovih will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him. He will pasture His flock like a shepherd, He will gather into His arm, He will carry the tiny lambs in His bosom, 1 and will lead those that give suck. Isaiah 40:10-11.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who is 'the Lord Jehovih'. 'He will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him' stands for the fact that He would by His own power overcome the hells. 'Pasturing the flock', 'gathering into His arm', 'carrying the tiny lambs in His bosom', and 'leading those that give suck' have reference to His love, or mercy.

[4] In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah, God Himself who created the heavens, who formed the earth and made it, who Himself established it and created it not an emptiness, and formed it to dwell in: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. Am not I Jehovah and there is no God else besides Me? A just God, and a Saviour, there is none besides Me. Look to Me and be saved, all ends of the earth. For I am God and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18, 21-22.

Here it is explicitly stated that the Lord alone is Jehovah and God. 'To create the heavens and form the earth' is to regenerate, and so 'the Creator of heaven and earth' is the Regenerator, see 16, 88, 472, and elsewhere. This is why the Lord is in various places called Creator, One who forms, and Maker.

[5] In the same prophet,

You are our Father, for Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our rather, our Redeemer; from of old is Your name. Isaiah 63:15-16.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who alone is the Redeemer. In Moses,

Take notice of His face, 2 and hearken to His voice, lest you provoke Him, for He will not endure your transgression, for My name is in the midst of Him. Exodus 23:21.

'Name' is the essential nature, see 144, 145, while 'in the midst' is the inmost, 1074.

[6] In Isaiah,

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. His name will be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6-7.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Jeremiah,

Behold, the days are coming and I will raise up for David a righteous branch and He will reign as King, and act with understanding, and execute judgement and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell with confidence. And this is His name which they will call Him, Jehovah our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:5-6.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Zechariah,

Jehovah will be King over all the earth; in that day there will be one Jehovah, and His name one. Zechariah 14:9.

This is plainly a reference to the Lord. 'Name' stands for Essential Nature.
