호세아서 10

Studie

   

1 이스라엘은 열매 맺는 무성한 포도 나무라 그 열매가 많을수록 제단을 많게 하며 그 땅이 아름다울수록 주상을 아름답게 하도다

2 저희가 두 마음을 품었으니 이제 죄를 받을 것이라 하나님이 그 제단을 쳐서 깨치시며 그 주상을 헐으시리라

3 저희가 이제 이르기를 우리가 여호와를 두려워 아니하므로 우리에게 왕이 없거니와 왕이 우리를 위하여 무엇을 하리요 하리로다

4 저희가 헛된 말을 내며 거짓 맹세를 발하여 언약을 세우니 그 재판이 밭이랑에 돋는 독한 인진같으리로다

5 사마리아 거민이 벧아웬의 송아지를 인하여 두려워할것이라 그 백성이 슬퍼하며 그것을 기뻐하던 제사장들도 슬퍼하리니 이는 그 영광이 떠나감이며

6 그 송아지는 앗수르로 옮겨다가 예물로 야렙 왕에게 드리리니 에브라임은 수치를 받을 것이요 이스라엘은 자기들의 계의를 부끄러워할 것이며

7 사마리아 왕은 물 위에 거품 같이 멸망할 것이며

8 이스라엘의 죄 된 아웬의 산당은 패괴되어 가시와 찔레가 그 단위에 날것이니 그 때에 저희가 산더러 우리를 가리우라 할 것이요 작은 산더러 우리 위에 무너지라 하리라

9 이스라엘아 네가 기브아에 서서 흉악한 족속을 치는 전쟁을 거기서 면하였도다

10 내가 원하는 때에 저희를 징계하리니 저희가 두 가지 죄에 걸릴때에 만민이 모여서 저희를 치리라

11 에브라임은 마치 길들인 암소같아서 곡식 밟기를 좋아하나 내가 그 아름다운 목에 멍에를 메우고 그의 위에 사람을 태우리니 유다가 밭을 갈고 야곱이 흙덩이를 깨뜨리리라

12 너희가 자기를 위하여 의를 심고 긍휼을 거두라 지금이 곧 여호와를 찾을 때니 너희 묵은 땅을 기경하라 마침내 여호와께서 임하사 의를 비처럼 너희에게 내리시리라

13 너희는 악을 밭갈아 죄를 거두고 거짓 열매를 먹었나니 이는 네가 네 길과 네 용사의 많음을 의뢰하였음이라

14 그러므로 너희 백성 중에 요란함이 일어나며 네 산성들이 다 훼파되되 살만이 전쟁의 날에 벧아벨을 훼파한 것같이 될 것이라 그 때에 어미와 자식이 함께 부숴졌도다

15 너희의 큰 악을 인하여 벧엘이 이같이 너희에게 행하리니 이스라엘 왕이 새벽에 멸절하리로다

5894. 'And there are still five years' means the duration of that state until remnants shine forth. This is clear from the meaning of 'five' as remnants, dealt with in 5291; and from the meaning of 'years' as states, as immediately above in 5893, duration being meant by still that number of years. From these meanings it is evident that the words used here mean the duration of that state until remnants shine forth. Remnants are the truths and forms of good stored away by the Lord in a person's interior man, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 1050, 1738, 1906, 2284, 5135, 5342. At this point the remnants are recognitions of and affections for truth before good reveals itself. They shine forth together with that good; but until then they are taken out of store in the measure that they can contribute to some useful purpose in life. Such is the nature of the Lord's providential care, indeed His constant care, though a person may know nothing at all about it and does not even have a wish to know. For he refuses to recognize the existence of providence in every detail of life, when in fact it exists in the smallest details of all from the earliest stage of a person's life through to the last, and for evermore after that. The streams of providence coming together at any one point in each person's life are more than any conceivable number. This I know from heaven.

Arcana Coelestia # 2935

2935. 'Let him give me the cave of Machpelah [which is his]' means the obscurity of faith [that was theirs]. This is clear from the meaning of 'a cave' as obscurity, dealt with in 2463, and from the meaning of 'Machpelah' as faith which is enveloped in obscurity. The reason 'a cave' means obscurity is that it is a place filled with darkness. When reference is made to a mountain cave - as in Genesis 19:30, where it is said that Lot lived in a mountain cave - obscurity as regards good is meant, but when reference is made to the cave in the field of Machpelah obscurity as regards truth is meant. Here, because the expression 'the cave of Machpelah' is used - Machpelah being the field at the end of which the cave was situated - an obscurity as regards truth, or what amounts to the same, as regards faith is meant. From this it is also evident that Machpelah is faith which is enveloped in obscurity.

[2] Those who are being regenerated and becoming spiritual are very much in obscurity as regards truth. With them good from the Lord is indeed flowing in, but truth less so. Consequently a parallelism and correspondence exists with man between the Lord and good, but not between Him and truth, see 1832. The chief reason for this is that men do not know what good is, and if they did know they would still not believe it at heart. And as long as their good is enveloped in obscurity, so too is their truth, for it is from good that all truth springs. Or to be more explicit, the idea that the Lord is Good itself, and that everything which in itself is a manifestation of love to Him and of charity towards the neighbour is good, and that everything which declares and confirms this is truth, they do not know except in an extremely obscure way. Indeed they even entertain doubts, and allow reasonings to enter in against those considerations. And as long as their state is such, the light of truth from the Lord cannot flow in. Indeed they think of the Lord as they do of another human being and not of Him as God; and they model their idea of love to Him on some worldly kind of love. What genuine affection that stems from charity towards the neighbour is they scarcely know at all, or even what charity is and what the neighbour is. Yet these are essentials. From this one may recognize the great obscurity in which spiritual people are and which is all the greater before regeneration has taken place, which state is the subject here.
