Studie

   

1 Και εν τω τεταρτω ετει του βασιλεως Δαρειου εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς τον Ζαχαριαν τη τεταρτη του εννατου μηνος, του Χισλευ·

2 και εξαπεστειλαν εις τον οικον του Θεου τον Σαρεσερ και τον Ρεγεμ-μελεχ και τους ανθρωπους αυτων, δια να εξιλεωσωσι το προσωπον του Κυριου,

3 να λαλησωσι προς τους ιερεις τους εν τω οικω του Κυριου των δυναμεων και προς τους προφητας, λεγοντες, Να κλαυσω εν τω μηνι τω πεμπτω αποχωρισθεις, καθως ηδη εκαμον τοσαυτα ετη;

4 Και εγεινε λογος του Κυριου των δυναμεων προς εμε, λεγων,

5 Λαλησον προς παντα τον λαον της γης και προς τους ιερεις, λεγων, και επενθειτε εν τω πεμπτω και εν τω εβδομω μηνι τα εβδομηκοντα εκεινα ετη, ενηστευετε τωοντι δι' εμε; δι' εμε;

6 Και οτε ετρωγετε και οτε επινετε, δεν ετρωγετε και επινετε δι' εαυτους;

7 δεν ειναι ουτοι οι λογοι, τους οποιους ο Κυριος ελαλησε δια των προτερων προφητων, οτε η Ιερουσαλημ ητο κατωκημενη και εν ευημερια και αι πολεις αυτης κυκλω εν αυτη, οτε κατωκειτο το μεσημβρινον και η πεδινη;

8 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς τον Ζαχαριαν, λεγων,

9 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, λεγων, Κρινετε κρισιν αληθειας και καμνετε ελεος και οικτιρμον, εκαστος προς τον αδελφον αυτου,

10 και μη καταδυναστευετε την χηραν και τον ορφανον, τον ξενον και τον πενητα, και μηδεις απο σας ας μη βουλευηται κακον κατα του αδελφου αυτου εν τη καρδια αυτου.

11 Αλλ' ηρνηθησαν να προσεξωσι και εστρεψαν νωτα απειθη και εβαρυναν τα ωτα αυτων δια να μη ακουσωσι.

12 Ναι, αυτοι εκαμον τας καρδιας αυτων αδαμαντα, ωστε να μη ακουσωσι τον νομον και τους λογους, τους οποιους ο Κυριος των δυναμεων εξαπεστειλεν εν τω πνευματι αυτου δια των προτερων προφητων· δια τουτο ηλθεν οργη μεγαλη παρα του Κυριου των δυναμεων.

13 Οθεν καθως αυτος εκραξε και αυτοι δεν εισηκουον, ουτως αυτοι εκραξαν και εγω δεν εισηκουον, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων·

14 αλλα διεσκορπισα αυτους ως δι' ανεμοστροβιλου εις παντα τα εθνη, τα οποια δεν εγνωριζον. Και ο τοπος ηρημωθη κατοπιν αυτων, ωστε δεν υπηρχεν ο διαβαινων ουδε ο επιστρεφων· και εθεσαν την γην την επιθυμητην εις ερημωσιν.

1085. 'They put it on a shoulder' means that they did so with all the power they had, that is to say, they placed a good interpretation on it and excused it. This is clear from the meaning of 'shoulder' as all power. In the Word 'hand' means power, as shown already. 'Arm' means greater power still, while 'shoulder' means all power, as becomes clear also from the following places in the Word: In Ezekiel,

You push with side and with shoulder, and butt with your horns all the weak sheep till you have scattered them abroad. Ezekiel 34:21.

'With side and with shoulder' here stands for all their soul and all their power; and 'butting with horns' stands for all their strength.

[2] In the same prophet,

That all the inhabitants of Egypt may know that I am Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. When they grasp you with the hand you will be broken, and will tear for them every shoulder. Ezekiel 29:6-7.

This refers to people who wish to probe into spiritual truths by means of facts. 'A staff of reed' stands for power of this kind, 'taking with the hand' stands for trusting in it, 'tearing every shoulder' for being deprived of all power so that they may know nothing. In Zephaniah,

That all of them may call on the name of Jehovah to serve Him with one shoulder. Zeph, 3:9.

'One shoulder' stands for doing so with one soul. and so with one power.

[3] In Zechariah,

They refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder. Zechariah 7:11.

This stands for their resisting with all the power they had. In Isaiah,

They hire a smith who makes gold and silver into God. They worship, they even bow down to it. They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it. Isaiah 46:6-7.

'Shoulder' stands for their worshipping the idol with all the power they have, which is 'bearing on the shoulder'.

[4] In the same prophet,

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

This refers to the Lord, and at this point to the power He has and exercises - hence the phrase 'upon His shoulder'. In the same prophet,

I will place the key of the house of David on His shoulder, and He will open and none will shut; and He will shut and none will open.

This similarly refers to the Lord, placing on the shoulder the key of the house of David' standing for the power He has and exercises.
