Jonah 2

Studie

   

1 (H2-2) E Giona fece orazione al Signore Iddio suo, dentro alle interiora del pesce.

2 (H2-3) E disse: Io ho gridato al Signore dalla mia distretta, Ed egli mi ha risposto; Io ho sclamato dal ventre del sepolcro, E tu hai udita la mia voce.

3 (H2-4) Tu mi hai gettato al fondo, nel cuor del mare; E la corrente mi ha circondato; Tutti i tuoi flutti, e le tue onde, mi son passate addosso.

4 (H2-5) Ed io ho detto: Io sono scacciato d’innanzi agli occhi tuoi; Ma pure io vedrò ancora il Tempio della tua santità.

5 (H2-6) Le acque mi hanno intorniato infino all’anima, L’abisso mi ha circondato, L’alga mi si è avvinghiata intorno al capo.

6 (H2-7) Io son disceso fino alle radici de’ monti; Le sbarre della terra son sopra me in perpetuo; Ma tu hai tratta fuor della fossa la vita mia, O Signore Iddio mio.

7 (H2-8) Quando l’anima mia si veniva meno in me, Io ho ricordato il Signore; E la mia orazione è pervenuta a te, Nel Tempio della tua santità.

8 (H2-9) Quelli che osservano le vanità di menzogna Abbandonano la lor pietà;

9 (H2-10) Ma io, con voce di lode, ti sacrificherò; Io adempierò i voti che ho fatti; Il salvare appartiene al Signore.

10 (H2-11) Il Signore disse al pesce, che sgorgasse Giona in su l’asciutto; e così fece.

   


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.

Temple

  

'A temple' represents heaven and the church. The sacred place where the ark was, represents the inmost, or third heaven, and the church among people in the inmost principle, called the celestial church. The temple outside the sacred place represents the middle, or second heaven, and the church with people in similar principles, called the internal spiritual church. The inner court represents the outermost or first heaven, also the church with people in outer degrees, called the internal natural church. The outer court represents entrance into heaven.

'Temple,' as in Revelation 15:8, signifies divine truth, or the Word in the natural sense, in light and power from the divine truth in the spiritual sense.

'I saw no temple in it,' as in Revelation 21:22, does not mean that in the new church, which is New Jerusalem, there will be no temple, but that externals will not be separated from internals. This is because 'a temple' signifies the church regarding worship, and in the highest sense, the Lord Himself regarding the divine humanity, who should be worshiped. Because the whole church is from the Lord, it says, 'for the Lord God Omnipotent and the Lamb is the temple thereof,' which signifies the Lord in His divine humanity.

'Temple,' as in Luke 21:5-7, signifies the church at this day, in which there is no truth left remaining, and as a result, is at an end.

'Temple' signifies the higher heavens.

'Temple' signifies the Lord's divine human with respect to divine truth.

'The temple of His body,' as in John 2:21, signifies the divine truth from the divine good.
