Išėjimas 31

Studie

   

1 Ir Viešpats kalbėjo Mozei:

2 “Aš pašaukiau vardu Hūro sūnaus Ūrio sūnų Becalelį iš Judo giminės

3 ir jį pripildžiau Dievo dvasios, išminties, sumanumo, pažinimo ir amato išmanymo,

4 kad sugebėtų viską padaryti iš aukso, sidabro, vario,

5 brangių akmenų ir medžio.

6 Daviau jam padėjėją Ahisamako sūnų Oholiabą iš Dano giminės; kiekvienam daviau išmintį padaryti viską, apie ką tau kalbėjau.

7 Jie padarys Susitikimo palapinę, Liudijimo skrynią, jos dangtį ir visus palapinės reikmenis:

8 stalą su jo priedais, gryno aukso žvakidę su jos priedais, aukurus smilkymui

9 ir deginamosioms aukoms bei visus jų reikmenis, praustuvę su jos stovu,

10 tarnavimo apdarus ir šventus drabužius kunigui Aaronui ir jo sūnums, kad būtų man kunigais,

11 patepimo aliejų, kvepiančius smilkalus šventyklai­viską, ką tau įsakiau, jie padarys”.

12 Viešpats toliau kalbėjo Mozei:

13 “Kalbėk izraelitams: ‘Privalote laikytis sabato, nes tai yra ženklas tarp manęs ir jūsų kartų kartoms, kad žinotumėte, jog Aš esu Viešpats, kuris jus pašventinu.

14 Laikykitės sabato, nes jis šventas; kas jį suterš, turi mirti. Kas dirbs tą dieną, bus išnaikintas iš savo tautos.

15 Šešias dienas dirbsite, o septintoji diena yra sabatas­poilsis, pašvęstas Viešpačiui. Kiekvienas, kuris dirbs sabato dieną, turi mirti.

16 Izraelitai privalo laikytis sabato per visas savo kartas kaip amžinos sandoros

17 tarp manęs ir Izraelio vaikų. Nes Viešpats per šešias dienas sukūrė dangų ir žemę, o septintąją dieną ilsėjosi ir atsigaivino’ ”.

18 Baigęs kalbėti, Viešpats davė Mozei ant Sinajaus kalno dvi akmenines liudijimo plokštes, parašytas Dievo pirštu.

God

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.

10370. 'And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath [throughout] their generations' means that the truly essential thing of the Church is the acknowledgement of the union of the Divine itself within the Lord's Human, and that this acknowledgement must be present in every single part of worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'keeping the sabbath' as thought which is holy and goes on unceasingly regarding the union of Divinity itself to the Lord's Human, dealt with above in 10356, and so also acknowledging it, for thinking without acknowledging and believing is not spiritual thinking; from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in the places referred to in 9340; from the meaning of 'observing the sabbath' as worshipping that union in a holy way and so worshipping the Lord's Divine Human, since that union resides within His Human; and from the meaning of 'the generations of the children of Israel' as in every single thing of the Church, dealt with in 10282. From all this it is evident that 'the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath [throughout] your generations' means maintaining the acknowledgement of Divinity itself within the Lord's Human in every single part of worship. The reason why this is the essential thing of the Church and consequently of its worship is that the salvation of the human race depends solely on that union. For the sake also of this union the Lord came into the world; and therefore also that is what the whole Word in its inmost sense deals with and what the religious observances of the Church established among the children of Israel represented and meant spiritually.

[2] The Lord Himself teaches in a number of places that the salvation of the human race depends on that union, consequently that the acknowledgement of it is the essential thing of the Church and of its worship, for example in John,

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life. John 3:36.

See also John 3:15-16; 6:40; 11:25-26; 20:31. 'The Son' is the Lord's Divine Human. The reason why those who do not in faith acknowledge the Lord do not have eternal life is that this acknowledgement is made by the whole of heaven; for the Lord is Lord of heaven and earth, as He Himself teaches in Matthew,

All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Matthew 28:18.

Therefore heaven is closed to those who do not acknowledge Him; and those who do not acknowledge Him in the world - that is, those within the Church - do not acknowledge Him in the next life. Such is a person's condition after death.
