Jeremias 43

Studie

   

1 Men da Jeremias var ferdig med å tale til alt folket alle Herrens, deres Guds ord, som Herren deres Gud hadde sendt ham til dem med - alle disse ord,

2 da sa Asarja, Hosajas sønn, og Johanan, Kareahs sønn, og alle de overmodige menn, de sa til Jeremias: Du taler løgn; Herren vår Gud har ikke sendt dig og sagt: I skal ikke dra til Egypten for å bo der.

3 Men Baruk, Nerijas sønn, egger dig op mot oss, forat vi skal bli gitt i kaldeernes hånd, så de kan drepe oss eller føre oss bort til Babel.

4 Og Johanan, Kareahs sønn, og alle hærførerne og alt folket vilde ikke høre på Herrens røst og bli i Juda land.

5 Men Johanan, Kareahs sønn, og alle hærførerne tok alle dem som var blitt igjen av Juda, dem som var kommet tilbake fra alle de hedningefolk som de var blitt drevet bort til, for å bo i Juda land,

6 mennene og kvinnene og de små barn og kongens døtre og hver sjel som høvdingen over livvakten Nebusaradan hadde latt bli tilbake hos Gedalja, sønn av Akikam, Safans sønn, og likeså profeten Jeremias og Baruk, Nerijas sønn,

7 og de drog avsted til Egyptens land, for de hørte ikke på Herrens røst; og så kom de frem til Tahpanhes.

8 Og Herrens ord kom til Jeremias i Tahpanhes, og det lød så:

9 Ta nogen store stener i din hånd og skjul dem i leret ved teglovnen som står ved inngangen til Faraos hus i Tahpanhes, og la nogen menn fra Juda se på det!

10 Og du skal si til dem: Så sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud, Israels Gud: Se, jeg sender bud og henter min tjener Nebukadnesar, Babels konge, og setter hans trone ovenpå disse stener som jeg har skjult, og han skal brede ut sitt prektige teppe over dem.

11 Og han skal komme og slå Egyptens land; den som hører døden til, hjemfaller til døden, og den som hører fangenskapet til, hjemfaller til fangenskapet, og den som hører sverdet til, hjemfaller til sverdet.

12 Og jeg vil sette ild på Egyptens gudetempler, og han skal brenne dem op og føre gudene bort, og han skal svøpe sig i Egyptens land, likesom en hyrde svøper sig i sin kappe, og siden skal han dra ut derfra i fred.

13 Og han skal knuse støttene i Betsemes* i Egyptens land, og Egyptens templer skal han brenne op med ild. / {* Heliopolis.}

38. We can see from the following passages that the Lord is called “Jehovah”:

Thus says Jehovah, who is your Creator, O Jacob, and your Maker, O Israel: “I have redeemed you. I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:1, 3)

[Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and Israel’s Maker... Surely you are a hidden God, O God of Israel, the Savior.] (Isaiah 45:11, 15)

... so that all flesh may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)

... so that you may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Powerful One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)

... Jehovah, the one who formed you from the womb. (Isaiah 49:5)

... Jehovah, my rock and my Redeemer. (Psalms 19:14)

Thus says Jehovah your Maker and the one who formed you from the womb. Thus says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and Israel’s Redeemer, Jehovah Sabaoth. (Isaiah 44:2, 6)

As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 47:4)

“With everlasting compassion I will have mercy [on you],” says Jehovah, your Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:8)

Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah is his name. (Jeremiah 50:34)

Jehovah God is my rock, my fortress, the horn of my salvation, my Savior. (2 Samuel 22:2-3)

Thus says Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 43:14; 48:17)

Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, Israel’s Holy One: “Monarchs will see...” (Isaiah 49:7)

I am Jehovah, and there is no Savior other than me. (Isaiah 43:11)

Am I not Jehovah? And there is no [God] other than me; and there is no Savior other than me. Look to me so that you may be saved, all you ends of the earth. (Isaiah 45:21-22)

I am Jehovah your God; there is no Savior other than me. (Hosea 13:4)

You have redeemed me, O Jehovah of truth. (Psalms 31:5)

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is mercy; with him there is abundant redemption. He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. (Psalms 130:7-8)

Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He will be called the God of the whole earth. (Isaiah 54:5)

In these passages, Jehovah is called Redeemer and Savior; and since the Lord alone is Redeemer and Savior, it is he who is meant by “Jehovah.”

We can also see that the Lord is Jehovah-that is, that Jehovah is the Lord-from the following passages.

A shoot [will go forth] from the trunk of Jesse, and a sprout from its roots will bear fruit. The spirit of Jehovah will rest upon him. (Isaiah 11:1-2)

It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him to set us free. [This is] Jehovah; we have waited for him. Let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” (Isaiah 25:9)

A voice of someone in the wilderness crying out, “Prepare a pathway for Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God.” The glory of Jehovah will be revealed, and all flesh will see it. Behold, the Lord Jehovih is coming in strength, and his arm will rule for him. (Isaiah 40:3, 5, 10)

I am Jehovah. I will make you a covenant for the people, a light for the nations. I am Jehovah. This is my name, and I will not give my glory to another. (Isaiah 42:6-8)

Behold, the days [are coming] when I will raise up for David a righteous branch who will rule as king, and prosper, and bring about judgment and justice on earth. And this is his name: they will call him “Jehovah our Righteousness.” (Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16)

As for you, Bethlehem Ephrata, one will come forth from you for me who will become the ruler in Israel. He will stand firm and feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah. (Micah 5:2, 4)

A Child has been born to us; a Son has been given to us. Leadership is upon his shoulder; and his name will be called God, Hero, Father of Eternity, on the throne of David, to establish and found it in judgment and in justice, from now on, even to eternity. (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Jehovah will go forth and fight against the nations, and his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem. (Zechariah 14:3-4)

Lift your heads, gates, and be raised up, doors of the world, so that the King of Glory may come in! Who is this King of Glory? Jehovah, strong and heroic, Jehovah, a hero in war. (Psalms 24:7-10)

On that day Jehovah Sabaoth will become an ornate crown and a beautiful diadem for the remnant of his people. (Isaiah 28:5)

I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great day of Jehovah comes. (Malachi 4:5)

There are other passages as well where it says that the day of Jehovah is great and near, like Ezekiel 30:3; Joel 2:11; Amos 5:18, 20; and Zephaniah 1:7, 14-15, 18.
