Ezechiele 35

Studie

   

1 LA parola del Signore mi fu ancora indirizzata, dicendo:

2 Figliuol d’uomo, volgi la tua faccia verso il monte di Seir, e profetizza contro ad esso, e digli:

3 Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Eccomi a te, o monte di Seir, e stenderò la mia mano sopra te, e ti ridurrò in desolazione, e in deserto.

4 Io metterò le tue città in deserto, e tu sarai desolato, e conoscerai che io sono il Signore.

5 Perciocchè tu hai avuta nimicizia antica, ed hai atterrati i figliuoli d’Israele per la spada, nel tempo della lor calamità, nel tempo del colmo dell’iniquità.

6 Perciò, come io vivo, dice il Signore Iddio, io ti metterò tutto in sangue, e il sangue ti perseguiterà; se tu non hai avuto in odio il sangue, il sangue altresì ti perseguiterà.

7 E metterò il monte di Seir in desolazione, e in deserto; e farò che non vi sarà più chi vada, nè chi venga.

8 Ed empierò i suoi monti de’ suoi uccisi; gli uccisi con la spada caderanno sopra i tuoi colli, nelle tue valli, e per tutte le tue pendici.

9 Io ti ridurrò in deserti eterni, e le tue città non saranno giammai più ristorate; e voi conoscerete che io sono il Signore.

10 Perciocchè tu hai detto: Quelle due nazioni, e que’ due paesi saranno miei; e noi le possederemo benchè il Signore sia stato quivi;

11 perciò, come io vivo, dice il Signore Iddio, io opererò secondo la tua ira, e secondo la tua gelosia, onde hai prodotti gli effetti, per lo grande odio tuo contro a loro; e sarò conosciuto fra loro, quando ti avrò giudicato.

12 E tu conoscerai che io, il Signore, ho udito tutti i tuoi oltraggi, che tu hai detti contro a’ monti d’Israele, dicendo: Eglino son deserti, ci son dati per divorarli;

13 e che altresì ho udito come voi vi siete magnificati contro a me con la vostra bocca, e avete moltiplicate le vostre parole contro a me.

14 Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Quando tutta la terra si rallegrerà, io ti ridurrò in desolazione.

15 Siccome tu ti sei rallegrato per l’eredità della casa d’Israele, per ciò ch’era deserta; così ancora io opererò inverso te; tu sarai desolato, o monte di Seir; anzi Edom tutto quanto; e si conoscerà che io sono il Signore.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

29. The Lord Made His Humanity Divine from the Divine in Him, and So Was United with the Father

The doctrine of the church, accepted throughout the Christian world, is this:

...our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man.... But although He is God and man, still there are not two Christs but one, being one because the Divine took to Himself a humanity; yet still completely one, for...He is one person. For as soul and body form one person, so God and man are one Christ....

These words are taken from the doctrine of the Athanasian Creed, which has been accepted throughout the Christian world. They constitute the essential teaching there regarding the union of the Divine and human in the Lord. Everything else said in this same doctrine regarding the Lord — this we will explain in its own section.

It is apparent, clearly, from the above citation, that it accords with the Creed of the Christian Church to say that the Divine and the human in the Lord are not two entities but one, as soul and body are one person; and that it was the Divine in Him that took on the human.

[2] It follows from this that the Divine cannot be separated from the human, nor the human from the Divine, as separating them would be like separating soul and body.

The reality of this is something everyone acknowledges who reads what we have cited above in nos. 19 and 21 from the two Gospels that tell of the Lord’s birth, namely from Luke 1:26-35 and from Matthew 1:18-25. These descriptions make clear that Jesus was conceived of Jehovah God and born from the virgin Mary, thus that the Divine was present in Him and was His soul.

Now because His soul was the Divinity itself of the Father, it follows that His body or humanity became also Divine; for when one element is Divine, the other must be also.

In this way and no other are the Father and Son one — the Father being in the Son, and the Son in the Father —and all things of the Son are the Father’s, and all things of the Father are the Son’s, as the Lord Himself teaches in His Word.

[3] But how the union was formed — this we will tell point by point as follows:

1. The Lord from eternity is Jehovah.

2. The Lord from eternity, or Jehovah, assumed a humanity in order to save mankind.

3. He made His humanity Divine from the Divinity in Him.

4. He made His humanity Divine through temptations or trials that He underwent.

5. The complete union of the Divine and the human in Him was achieved by His suffering of the cross, which was the last of those temptations or trials.

6. He gradually put off the humanity received from the mother and put on a humanity from the Divinity in Him, which is the Divine humanity and the Son of God.

7. Thus God became human in final elements as well as in first ones.
