1 Ουαι η παραδεδειγματισμενη και μεμολυσμενη· η πολις η καταθλιβουσα

2 Δεν υπηκουσεν εις την φωνην· δεν εδεχθη διορθωσιν· δεν ηλπισεν επι τον Κυριον· δεν επλησιασεν εις τον Θεον αυτης.

3 Οι αρχοντες αυτης ειναι εν αυτη λεοντες ωρυομενοι· οι κριται αυτης λυκοι της εσπερας· δεν αφινουσιν ουδεν δια το πρωι.

4 Οι προφηται αυτης ειναι προπετεις, ανθρωποι δολιοι· οι ιερεις αυτης εβεβηλωσαν το αγιαστηριον, ηθετησαν τον νομον.

5 Ο Κυριος ειναι δικαιος εν μεσω αυτης· δεν θελει καμει αδικιαν· κατα πασαν πρωιαν φερει την κρισιν αυτου εις φως, δεν απολειπει· αλλ' ο διεφθαρμενος δεν γνωριζει αισχυνην.

6 Εξωλοθρευσα εθνη· οι πυργοι αυτων ειναι ηρημωμενοι· ηρημωσα τας οδους αυτων, ωστε να μη υπαρχη διαβαινων· αι πολεις αυτων ηφανισθησαν, ωστε δεν υπαρχει ουδεις κατοικων.

7 Ειπα, Βεβαιως ηθελες με φοβηθη, ηθελες δεχθη παιδειαν, και η κατοικια αυτης δεν ηθελεν εξολοθρευθη, οσον και αν ετιμωρουν αυτην· πλην αυτοι εσπευσαν να διαφθειρωσι πασας τας πραξεις αυτων.

8 Δια τουτο προσμενετε με, λεγει Κυριος, μεχρι της ημερας καθ' ην εγειρομαι προς λεηλασιαν· διοτι η αποφασις μου ειναι να συναξω τα εθνη, να συναθροισω τα βασιλεια, να εκχεω επ' αυτα την αγανακτησιν μου, ολην την εξαψιν της οργης μου· επειδη πασα η γη θελει καταναλωθη υπο του πυρος του ζηλου μου.

9 Διοτι τοτε θελω αποκαταστησει εις τους λαους γλωσσαν καθαραν, δια να επικαλωνται παντες το ονομα του Κυριου, να δουλευωσιν αυτον υπο ενα ζυγον.

10 Απο του περαν των ποταμων της Αιθιοπιας οι ικεται μου, η θυγατηρ των διεσπαρμενων μου, θελουσι φερει την προσφοραν μου.

11 Εν τη ημερα εκεινη δεν θελεις αισχυνεσθαι δια πασας τας πραξεις σου, δι' ων ηνομησας εναντιον μου· διοτι τοτε θελω αφαιρεσει εκ μεσου σου τους καυχωμενους εις την μεγαλοπρεπειαν σου, και δεν θελεις πλεον μεγαλαυχει κατα του ορους του αγιου μου.

12 Και θελω αφησει εν μεσω σου λαον τεθλιμμενον και πτωχον, και ουτοι θελουσιν ελπιζει επι το ονομα του Κυριου.

13 Το υπολοιπον του Ισραηλ δεν θελει πραξει ανομιαν ουδε λαλησει ψευδη, ουδε θελει ευρεθη εν τω στοματι αυτων γλωσσα δολια· διοτι αυτοι θελουσι βοσκει και πλαγιαζει, και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο εκφοβων.

14 Ψαλλε, θυγατερ Σιων· αλαλαξατε, Ισραηλ· τερπου και ευφραινου εξ ολης καρδιας, θυγατερ Ιερουσαλημ.

15 Αφηρεσεν ο Κυριος τας κρισεις σου, απεστρεψε τον εχθρον σου· βασιλευς του Ισραηλ ειναι ο Κυριος εν μεσω σου· δεν θελεις πλεον ιδει κακον.

16 Εν τη ημερα εκεινη θελει λεχθη προς την Ιερουσαλημ, Μη φοβου· Σιων, ας μη εκλυωνται αι χειρες σου.

17 Κυριος ο Θεος σου, ο εν μεσω σου, ο δυνατος, θελει σε σωσει, θελει ευφρανθη επι σε εν χαρα, θελει αναπαυεσθαι εις την αγαπην αυτου, θελει ευφραινεσθαι εις σε εν ασμασι.

18 Θελω συναξει τους λελυπημενους δια τας επισημους εορτας, τους οντας απο σου, εις τους οποιους ητο βαρος ο ονειδισμος.

19 Ιδου, εν τω καιρω εκεινω θελω αφανισει παντας τους καταθλιβοντας σε· και θελω σωσει την χωλαινουσαν και συναξει την εξωσμενην· και θελω καταστησει αυτους επαινον και δοξαν εν παντι τοπω της αισχυνης αυτων.

20 Εν τω καιρω εκεινω θελω σας φερει και εν τω καιρω εκεινω θελω σας συναξει· διοτι θελω σας καμει ονομαστους και επαινετους μεταξυ παντων των λαων της γης, οταν εγω αποστρεψω την αιχμαλωσιαν σας εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων σας, λεγει Κυριος.

764. IV. This night is followed by morning, and morning is the Lord's coming.

The succeeding states of the church in general and in particular are described in the Word by the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and by the four times of day, morning, midday, evening and night. Since the present-day Christian church is in night, it follows that morning is at hand, that is, the first state of a new church. It can be established from the following passages that successive states of the church are described in the Word by the four periods of daylight:

Until the evening and the morning, two thousand three hundred [days], then will the holy place be made holy 1 . The vision of the evening and the morning is truth, Daniel 8:14, 26.

One is calling to me from Seir, Watchman, what of the night? The watchman says, The morning is coming, and night again, Isaiah 21:11-12.

The end has come, the morning has come upon you, you that dwell in the land. Look, the day has come, the morning has gone forth, Ezekiel 7:6-7, 10.

Jehovah morning by morning will set His judgment in light, nor will He fail, Zephaniah 3:5. God is in her midst, God will help her when morning breaks, Psalms 46:5.

I have waited for Jehovah, my soul waits for the Lord more than those that watch for the morning, those that watch for the morning. For with Him is a wealth of redemption, and He will redeem Israel, Psalms 130:5-8.

[2] In these passages evening and night mean the final period of the church, morning its first period. The Lord Himself is also called the morning in the following passages:

The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel talked to me. He is like the light of morning, a morning without clouds. 2 Samuel 23:3-4.

I am the root and offspring of David, the bright star of morning, Revelation 22:16.

From the womb of the dawn the dew of your youth is on you, Psalms 110:3.

These things are said of the Lord. It was because the Lord is the morning that He also rose from the tomb in the early morning, so as to begin a new church (Mark 16:2, 9).

[3] The Lord's coming is to be awaited, as is plainly established by His prediction of it in Matthew:

When Jesus was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him, saying, Tell us, what is the sign of your coming and of the ending of the age? Matthew 24:3.

After the affliction of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will the sign of the Son of Man appear, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory, Matthew 24:29-30; Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27.

As were the days of Noah, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. Therefore be ready, for at the time you do not expect, the Son of Man will come, Matthew 24:37, 39, 44, 46.

In Luke:

When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith upon the earth? Luke 18:8.

In John:

Jesus said of John, If I want him to stay until I come... John 21:22-23.

[4] In the Acts of the Apostles:

When they saw Jesus lifted up into heaven, two men stood before them in white clothing, and they said, Jesus who has been lifted up from you into heaven, will come like this, as you have seen him going into heaven, Acts of the Apostles 1:9-11.

In Revelation:

The Lord, the God of the holy prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must happen. Behold, I am coming. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy 2 of this book. And behold, I am coming, and my reward is with me, so that I may give to each according to what he has done, Revelation 22:6-7, 12.

Further:

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness of these things to you in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright star of the morning. The spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who hears say, Come. And let him who is thirsty come; and let whoever will, take the water of life without payment. Rev:16-17.

Further:

He who bears witness to these things says, I am coming indeed. Amen, come indeed, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen, Revelation 22:20-21.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Or literally: 'be justified'.

2. For 'the words of the prophecy' the Latin has 'the commands', but this is corrected in the Author's copy.
