Išėjimas 20

Studie

   

1 Dievas kalbėjo visus šiuos žodžius:

2 “Aš esu Viešpats, tavo Dievas, kuris tave išvedžiau iš Egipto žemės, iš vergijos namų.

3 Neturėk kitų dievų šalia manęs.

4 Nedaryk sau jokio drožinio nei jokio atvaizdo to, kas yra aukštai danguje, žemai žemėje ar po žeme vandenyje.

5 Nesilenk prieš juos ir netarnauk jiems! Nes Aš, Viešpats, tavo Dievas, esu pavydus Dievas, baudžiąs vaikus už tėvų kaltes iki trečios ir ketvirtos kartos tų, kurie manęs nekenčia,

6 bet rodąs gailestingumą iki tūkstantosios kartos tiems, kurie mane myli ir laikosi mano įsakymų.

7 Netark Viešpaties, savo Dievo, vardo be reikalo, nes Viešpats nepaliks be kaltės to, kuris be reikalo mini Jo vardą.

8 Atsimink sabato dieną, kad ją švęstum.

9 Šešias dienas dirbk ir atlik visus savo darbus,

10 o septintoji diena yra sabatas Viešpačiui, tavo Dievui. Joje nevalia dirbti jokio darbo nei tau, nei tavo sūnui ar dukteriai, nei tavo tarnui ar tarnaitei, nei tavo gyvuliui, nei ateiviui, kuris yra tavo namuose,

11 nes per šešias dienas Viešpats sukūrė dangų, žemę, jūrą ir visa, kas juose yra, o septintąją dieną ilsėjosi. Todėl Viešpats palaimino sabatą ir pašventino jį.

12 Gerbk savo tėvą ir motiną, kad ilgai gyventum žemėje, kurią Viešpats Dievas tau duoda.

13 Nežudyk.

14 Nesvetimauk.

15 Nevok.

16 Neliudyk neteisingai prieš savo artimą.

17 Negeisk savo artimo namų, negeisk savo artimo žmonos, nei jo tarno, nei tarnaitės, nei jaučio, nei asilo—nieko, kas yra tavo artimo”.

18 Visi žmonės girdėjo griaustinį ir trimito garsą, matė žaibus ir rūkstantį kalną. Matydami tai žmonės atsitraukė ir stovėjo atokiai.

19 Jie sakė Mozei: “Tu kalbėk su mumis! Mes klausysime. Tačiau tenekalba su mumis Dievas, kad nemirtume!”

20 Mozė atsakė žmonėms: “Nebijokite! Dievas atėjo tam, kad jus išmėgintų, ir kad Jo baimė būtų prieš jus ir jūs nenusidėtumėte”.

21 Žmonės stovėjo toli, o Mozė priartėjo prie tamsaus debesies, kur buvo Dievas.

22 Viešpats liepė Mozei pasakyti izraelitams: “Jūs patys girdėjote, kad Aš iš dangaus kalbėjau su jumis.

23 Nedarykite šalia manęs sau sidabrinių ar auksinių dievų.

24 Padaryk man iš žemės aukurą ir aukok ant jo deginamąsias ir padėkos aukas, savo avis ir galvijus. Kiekvienoje vietoje, kurioje bus minimas mano vardas, Aš ateisiu ir laiminsiu tave.

25 O jei man statysi akmeninį aukurą, nestatyk jo iš tašytų akmenų, nes, naudodamas įrankį, suterši jį.

26 Taip pat nelipk laiptais prie mano aukuro, kad nebūtų atidengtas tavo nuogumas”.

Apocalypse Explained # 959

959. Verse 1. And I heard a voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, signifies manifestation by the Divine truth from the Word of the evils and falsities that have devastated the church. This is evident from the signification of "a voice out of the temple," as being the Divine truth from the Word, for a "voice" signifies the Divine truth (See above, n. 261, 668); and "the temple of the tabernacle of the Testimony," out of which the voice came, signifies the Word in which is the Divine truth both natural and spiritual n. 948. Also from the signification of "the seven angels," as being manifestations (as has often been said above). And as "the seven vials" or "plagues" which they had signify the evils and falsities that have devastated the church, therefore manifestations of all the evils and falsities that have devastated the church are here signified by "the seven angels." The manifestations of these are further treated of in the following verses.

(Continuation: The Second Commandment)

[2] In the preceding chapter the first commandment of the Decalogue is treated of at the end of the several articles. In the following articles in this chapter the other commandments of the Decalogue will be treated of; and here the second commandment, "Thou shalt not profane the name of God."

In the first place, what is meant by "the name of God" shall be told, and afterwards what is meant by "profaning" it. "The name of God" means every quality by which God is worshiped. For God is in His own quality, and is His own quality. His essence is the Divine love, and His quality is the Divine truth therefrom united with the Divine good; thus with us on earth it is the Word; consequently it is said in John:

The Word was with God, and God was the Word (John 1:1).

Thence also, it is the doctrine of genuine truth and good from the Word; for worship is according to that.

[3] Now as His quality is manifold, for it comprises all things that are from Him, so He has many names; and each name involves and expresses His quality in general and in particular. He is called "Jehovah," "Jehovah of Hosts," "Lord," "Lord Jehovih," "God," "Messiah or Christ," "Jesus," "Savior," "Redeemer," "Creator," "Former," "Maker," "King," and "the Holy One of Israel," "the Rock" and "the Stone of Israel," "Shiloh," "Shaddai," "David," "Prophet," "Son of God," and "Son of man," and so on. All these names are the names of the one God, who is the Lord; and yet where they occur in the Word they signify some universal Divine attribute or quality distinct from the other Divine attributes or qualities. So, too, where He is called "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit," three are not meant, but one God; that is, there are not three Divines, but one, and this trine which is one is the Lord.

[4] Since each name signifies some distinct attribute or quality, "to profane the name of God" does not mean to profane the name itself but His quality. "Name" signifies quality for the reason that in heaven everyone is named according to his quality; and the quality of God or the Lord is everything that is from Him by which He is worshiped. For this reason, since no Divine quality of the Lord is acknowledged in hell, the Lord cannot be named there; and in the spiritual world His names cannot be uttered by anyone except so far as His Divine is acknowledged; for there all speak from the heart, thus from love and consequent acknowledgment.
