1 και συ μη λαβης γυναικα λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ

2 και ου γεννηθησεται σοι υιος ουδε θυγατηρ εν τω τοπω τουτω

3 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος περι των υιων και περι των θυγατερων των γεννωμενων εν τω τοπω τουτω και περι των μητερων αυτων των τετοκυιων αυτους και περι των πατερων αυτων των γεγεννηκοτων αυτους εν τη γη ταυτη

4 εν θανατω νοσερω αποθανουνται ου κοπησονται και ου ταφησονται εις παραδειγμα επι προσωπου της γης εσονται και τοις θηριοις της γης και τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου εν μαχαιρα πεσουνται και εν λιμω συντελεσθησονται

5 ταδε λεγει κυριος μη εισελθης εις θιασον αυτων και μη πορευθης του κοψασθαι και μη πενθησης αυτους οτι αφεστακα την ειρηνην μου απο του λαου τουτου

6 ου μη κοψωνται αυτους ουδε εντομιδας ου μη ποιησωσιν και ου ξυρησονται

7 και ου μη κλασθη αρτος εν πενθει αυτων εις παρακλησιν επι τεθνηκοτι ου ποτιουσιν αυτον ποτηριον εις παρακλησιν επι πατρι και μητρι αυτου

8 εις οικιαν ποτου ουκ εισελευση συγκαθισαι μετ' αυτων του φαγειν και πιειν

9 διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ιδου εγω καταλυω εκ του τοπου τουτου ενωπιον των οφθαλμων υμων και εν ταις ημεραις υμων φωνην χαρας και φωνην ευφροσυνης φωνην νυμφιου και φωνην νυμφης

10 και εσται οταν αναγγειλης τω λαω τουτω απαντα τα ρηματα ταυτα και ειπωσιν προς σε δια τι ελαλησεν κυριος εφ' ημας παντα τα κακα ταυτα τις η αδικια ημων και τις η αμαρτια ημων ην ημαρτομεν εναντι κυριου του θεου ημων

11 και ερεις αυτοις ανθ' ων εγκατελιπον με οι πατερες υμων λεγει κυριος και ωχοντο οπισω θεων αλλοτριων και εδουλευσαν αυτοις και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και εμε εγκατελιπον και τον νομον μου ουκ εφυλαξαντο

12 και υμεις επονηρευσασθε υπερ τους πατερας υμων και ιδου υμεις πορευεσθε εκαστος οπισω των αρεστων της καρδιας υμων της πονηρας του μη υπακουειν μου

13 και απορριψω υμας απο της γης ταυτης εις την γην ην ουκ ηδειτε υμεις και οι πατερες υμων και δουλευσετε εκει θεοις ετεροις οι ου δωσουσιν υμιν ελεος

14 δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και ουκ ερουσιν ετι ζη κυριος ο αναγαγων τους υιους ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου

15 αλλα ζη κυριος ος ανηγαγεν τον οικον ισραηλ απο γης βορρα και απο πασων των χωρων ου εξωσθησαν εκει και αποκαταστησω αυτους εις την γην αυτων ην εδωκα τοις πατρασιν αυτων

16 ιδου εγω αποστελλω τους αλεεις τους πολλους λεγει κυριος και αλιευσουσιν αυτους και μετα ταυτα αποστελω τους πολλους θηρευτας και θηρευσουσιν αυτους επανω παντος ορους και επανω παντος βουνου και εκ των τρυμαλιων των πετρων

17 οτι οι οφθαλμοι μου επι πασας τας οδους αυτων και ουκ εκρυβη τα αδικηματα αυτων απεναντι των οφθαλμων μου

18 και ανταποδωσω διπλας τας αδικιας αυτων και τας αμαρτιας αυτων εφ' αις εβεβηλωσαν την γην μου εν τοις θνησιμαιοις των βδελυγματων αυτων και εν ταις ανομιαις αυτων εν αις επλημμελησαν την κληρονομιαν μου

19 κυριε ισχυς μου και βοηθεια μου και καταφυγη μου εν ημερα κακων προς σε εθνη ηξουσιν απ' εσχατου της γης και ερουσιν ως ψευδη εκτησαντο οι πατερες ημων ειδωλα και ουκ εστιν εν αυτοις ωφελημα

20 ει ποιησει εαυτω ανθρωπος θεους και ουτοι ουκ εισιν θεοι

21 δια τουτο ιδου εγω δηλωσω αυτοις εν τω καιρω τουτω την χειρα μου και γνωριω αυτοις την δυναμιν μου και γνωσονται οτι ονομα μοι κυριος

Apocalypse Revealed # 797

797. "And the sound of a bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore." This symbolically means that those caught up in the Roman Catholic religion because of its doctrine and a life in accordance with it have no conjunction of goodness and truth, which is what forms the church.

The sound here symbolizes joy, because it is the sound of a bridegroom and bride. In the highest sense a bridegroom means the Lord in respect to Divine good, and a bride means the church in respect to Divine truth from the Lord. For a church is a church by virtue of its reception of the Lord's Divine goodness in the Divine truths that it has from Him.

It is apparent from the Word that the Lord is called a bridegroom and also a husband, and that the church is called a bride and also a wife. That this produces the heavenly marriage that is a marriage of goodness and truth will be seen in a short work, On Marriage. 1

Now because this heavenly marriage is produced in people in the church by their receiving Divine goodness from the Lord in Divine truths drawn from the Word, it is apparent that there is no conjunction of goodness and truth in people caught up in the Roman Catholic religion because of its doctrine and so a life in conformity with it, since they have no conjunction with the Lord, but instead a conjunction with men, living and dead. This conjunction in people caught up in a love of exercising dominion from a love of self over the Divine sanctities belonging to the Lord, and over the Lord Himself, is as though a conjunction with the Devil, who, as we said in the preceding number, is that love. And to turn to the Devil in order to come by him to God is detestable.

[2] That the Lord is called a bridegroom and the church a bride is apparent from the following passages:

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. (John 3:29)

This John the Baptist said in reference to the Lord.

Jesus said..., "As long as the bridegroom is with them, the wedding guests cannot fast. The day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast. (Matthew 9:15, cf. Mark 2:19-20)

I... saw the holy city, New Jerusalem..., prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2)

(An angel said,) "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." (Revelation 21:9-10)

...(the time for) the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready... Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:7, 9)

The bridegroom whom the ten virgins went out to meet, also means the Lord (Matthew 25:1-13).

[3] From these passages it is apparent what the sound and joy of a bridegroom and bride symbolize in following places:

As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. (Isaiah 62:5)

My soul shall rejoice over my God..., as a bridegroom puts on the turban, and as a bride adorns herself with her vessels. (Isaiah 61:10)

Again there shall be heard in this place... the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the bridegroom and the sound of the bride, the sound of those saying, "Confess Jehovah Zebaoth...." (Jeremiah 33:10-11)

Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, and the bride from her room. (Joel 2:16)

I will cause to cease... from the streets of Jerusalem the sound of mirth and the sound of gladness, the sound of the bridegroom and the sound of the bride. (Jeremiah 7:34, cf. 16:9)

I will take from them the sound of mirth and the sound of gladness, the sound of the bridegroom and the sound of the bride, the sound of mills and the light of the lamp. And this whole land shall be a desolation (because of) the king of Babylon... (Jeremiah 25:10-11)

[4] From this one can now see the successive meanings in these two verses, that those caught up in the Roman Catholic religion will not have any affection for spiritual truth and goodness (no. 792); that they are without any understanding of spiritual truth, and so are without any thought of spiritual truth (no. 793), for thought springs from affection and accords with it; that neither do they inquire into, investigate, or confirm spiritual truth (no. 794); that they are also without any enlightenment from the Lord and so without any perception of spiritual truth (no. 796); and finally that they have no conjunction of goodness and truth, which is what forms the church (no. 797).

Thus the literal pronouncements also follow in sequence.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. A reference to a work by that title never published by the writer. Extant in manuscript are a brief outline, a relatively short preliminary draft, and two indices for a longer draft on the subject of marriage that has not been found. The content of the existing material makes clear that these manuscripts, including the missing longer draft, were written in preparation for Delights of Wisdom Relating to Married Love (or Conjugial Love), Followed By Pleasures of Insanity Relating to Licentious Love, which the writer published in 1768, two years after publishing the present work on the Apocalypse.
