Второзаконие 20

Studie

   

1 Когда ты пойдешь на войну противъ врага твоего, и увидишь коней и колесницы и народа болје, нежели у тебя: то не бойся ихъ, ибо съ тобою Господь, Богъ твой, Который вывелъ тебя изъ земли Египетской.

2 Когда же надобно вступить вамъ въ сраженіе, тогда священникъ пусть подойдетъ и говоритъ народу,

3 и скажетъ ему: слушай, Израиль, вы сегодня вступаете въ сраженіе съ врагами вашими, да не ослабјетъ сердце ваше, не бойтесь, не смущайтесь и не ужасайтесь ихъ:

4 ибо Господь, Богъ вашъ, идетъ съ вами, чтобы сразиться за васъ съ врагами вашими, чтобы спасти васъ.

5 Надзиратели же пусть объявятъ народу, и скажутъ: кто построилъ новый домъ и не обновилъ его, тотъ пусть идетъ и возвратится въ домъ свой, дабы не умеръ на сраженіи, и другой не обновилъ его.

6 И кто насадилъ виноградникъ и не пользовался имъ, тотъ пусть идетъ и возвратится въ домъ свой, дабы не умеръ на сраженіи, и другой не восполъзовался имъ.

7 И кто обручился съ женою и не взялъ ея, тотъ пусть идетъ и возвратится въ домъ свой, дабы не умеръ на сраженіи, и другой не взялъ ея.

8 Потомъ надзиратели еще объявятъ народу, и скажутъ: кто боязливъ и малодушенъ, тотъ пусть идетъ и возвратится въ домъ свой, дабы онъ не сдјлалъ робкимъ сердца братьевъ его, какъ его сердце.

9 Когда надзиратели скажутъ все сіе народу, тогда должны они поставить военныхъ начальниковъ въ вожди народа.

10 Когда подойдешь къ городу, чтобъ завоевать его, предложи ему миръ.

11 Если онъ согласится на миръ съ тобою и отворитъ тебј ворота, то весь народъ, который найдется въ немъ, будетъ платить тебј дань и служить тебј.

12 Если же онъ не согласится на миръ съ тобою и будетъ вести съ тобою войну, то осади его.

13 И когда Господь, Богъ твой, предастъ его въ руки твои, порази въ немъ весь мужескій полъ остріемъ меча;

14 только женъ и дјтей, и скотъ, и все, что будетъ въ городј, всю добычу его возьми себј, и пользуйся добычею враговъ твоихъ, которыхъ предалъ тебј Господь, Богъ твой.

15 Такъ поступай со всјми городами, которые отъ тебя весьма далеко, которые не изъ числа городовъ народовъ сихъ.

16 А въ городахъ сихъ народовъ, которыхъ землю Господь, Богъ твой, даетъ тебј въ удјлъ, не оставляй въ живыхъ ни одной души.

17 Но предай ихъ заклятію: Хеттеевъ и Аморреевъ, Хананеевъ и Ферезеевъ, Евеевъ и Іевусеевъ, какъ повелјлъ тебј Господь, Богъ твой;

18 дабы они не научили васъ дјлать такія же мерзости, какія они дјлали для боговъ своихъ, и дабы вы не грјшили предъ Господомъ, Богомъ вашимъ.

19 Если долгое время будешь держать въ осадј городъ, чтобы завоевать его и взять его: то не порть деревъ его, и не поднимай на нихъ топора; но јшь плоды съ нихъ, а не руби ихъ: ибо дерево на полј развј человјкъ, чтобъ оно ушло отъ тебя въ крјпость?

20 Только тј дерева, о которыхъ ты знаешь, что они ничего не приносятъ въ пищу, можешь портить и рубить, и строить укрјпленія противъ города, который ведетъ съ тобою войну, доколј не покоришь его.

919. Verse 19. And the angel cast his sickle into the earth and gathered the vineyard of the earth, signifies that this was done. This is evident from what has been just said in the preceding article. That a "vineyard" signifies the spiritual church is evident from the passages in the Word where "vineyard" is mentioned (as in Isaiah 1:8, 3:14; 5:1-10; 16:10; 36:17; 37:30; 65:21; Jeremiah 12:10; 32:15; 35:7, 9; 39:10; Ezekiel 28:26; Hosea 2:15; Amos 4:9; 5:11, 17; 9:14; Micah 1:6; Zephaniah 1:13; 1 Samuel 8:14, 15; Psalms 107:37; Matthew 20:1-8; 21:28, 38-41; Mark 12:1-9; Luke 13:6, 7; 20:9-16).

And concerning a "vine" see John 15:1-12; as well as in the historical parts of the Word.

From these passages it is clearly evident that a "vineyard" means the church (See also above, n. 376, 403, 638, 918, where many passages in which "vineyard" occurs are explained). From the signification of "vineyard" it can be seen that "to gather the vintage" signifies to collect for uses those things that will be serviceable to the understanding, and which will give intelligence and wisdom; and in the contrary sense it signifies to lay waste the church as to spiritual good, and thus as to the affection of truth and the understanding of truth. In this contrary sense "vintage" and "to gather the vintage" are used in the sense that there are no longer any clusters or grapes remaining; and this signifies in the spiritual sense that all spiritual good, and thus all truth that is truth in itself, is destroyed; and this is especially effected in the church by falsifications of the Word, likewise when evil of life corrupts all good, and falsity of doctrine perverts all truth; this is described also by "spoilers" and by "thieves."

[2] That "gathering the vintage" signifies, for this reason, laying waste, can be seen from the following passages. In Isaiah:

A cry over the wine in the streets; every joy shall be mixed; the gladness of the earth shall be banished. The remnant in the city is a waste, and the gate shall be beaten down even to devastation. For so shall it be in the midst of the land as the beating of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is finished (Isaiah 24:11-13).

This describes the mourning over the devastation of the church as to celestial good and as to spiritual good, which in its essence is truth from celestial good. This devastation is compared to "the beating of an olive-tree," and to "the gleanings when the vintage is finished." (But this may be seen explained above, n. 313, 638).

[3] In the same:

Ye confident daughters, perceive My word in your ears; year 1 upon year shall ye be troubled, ye confident ones, for the vintage is finished, the ingathering shall not come (Isaiah 32:9, 10).

"Confident daughters" signify those in the church who love falsities more than truths. That with such, truths are gradually diminished in every state, is signified by "year 1 upon year shall ye be troubled." The devastation of all truth until there is nothing left is signified by "the vintage is finished, and the ingathering shall not come."

[4] In Jeremiah:

Upon thy fruits of autumn and upon thy vintage hath the spoiler fallen, therefore gladness and joy are gathered out of Carmel (Jeremiah 48:32, 33).

"Fruits of autumn" signify the goods of the church; "the vintage" signifies its truths; for "bread," which is here meant by the "fruits of autumn," signifies the good of the church, and "wine," which is from the vintage, signifies its truth. "The spoiler" who fell upon them signifies evil and falsity therefrom. That the delight of spiritual and celestial love, which is the very joy of the heart, will perish, is signified by "gladness and joy shall be gathered out of Carmel."

[5] In Micah:

Woe is me, I am become as the gatherings of the summer, as the gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the first ripe fruit (Micah 7:1).

"As the gleanings of the vintage, there is no cluster to eat," signifies such devastation of the church that there is no longer any good or truth. (The rest may be seen explained in the preceding article.) In Jeremiah:

If the grape-gatherers came to thee they would leave no gleanings; if thieves in the night they would destroy sufficiency (Jeremiah 49:9).

In Obadiah:

If thieves came to thee, if destroyers by night, how wouldst thou be cut off? Would they not steal till they had enough? If the grape-gatherers came to thee would they leave any clusters? (Obadiah 1:5).

"Grape-gatherers" signify falsities, and "thieves" evils, which lay waste the truths and goods of the church; but "destroyers" signify both falsities and evils; that "they would leave no clusters" signifies that there are no goods because there are no truths. But "to gather the vintage" signifies to gather for uses such things especially as will be serviceable to the understanding, see in Jeremiah 6:9; Leviticus 19:10, 26:5; Deuteronomy 20:6, 7, 24:21.
