Исход 11

Studie

   

1 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: еще одну казнь Я наведу на Фараона и на Египтянъ; послј того онъ отпуститъ васъ отсюда. Когда же онъ будетъ отпускать, то съ поспјшностію будетъ гнать всјхъ васъ отсюда.

2 Внуши народу, чтобы каждый у ближняго своего, и каждая женщина у ближней своей выпросили вещей серебряныхъ и вещей золотыхъ.

3 Іегова далъ благодать народу въ очахъ Египтянъ; да и Моисей былъ весьма великъ въ землј Египетской, въ глазахъ рабовъ Фараоновыхъ, и въ глазахъ народа.

4 И сказалъ Моисей: такъ говоритъ Іегова: въ полночь Я пройду посреди Египта.

5 И умретъ всякій первенецъ въ землј Египетской, отъ первенца Фараона, который сидитъ на престолј своемъ, до первенца рабы, которая при жерновахъ, и все первородное изъ скота.

6 И будетъ по всей землј Египетской великій вопль, какого не бывало, и какого не будетъ болје.

7 Напротивъ у всјхъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ ни на человјка, ни на скотъ не пошевелитъ песъ языкомъ своимъ, дабы вы знали, какое Іегова дјлаетъ раздјленіе между Египтянами и между Израильтянами.

8 Тогда придутъ всј рабы твои сіи ко мнј, и поклонятся мнј, говоря: выйди ты и весь народъ, который тебј послјдуетъ. Послј чего я и выйду. И вышелъ Моисей отъ Фараона съ гнјвнымъ лицемъ.

9 И сказалъ Іегова Моисею: не послушаетъ васъ Фараонъ, и такимъ образомъ умножатся чудеса Мои въ землј Египетской.

10 Моисей и Ааронъ сдјлали всј сіи чудеса предъ Фараоеомъ. Іегова ожесточилъ сердце Фараона, и онъ не отпустилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ изъ земли своей.

7790. 'And after that I will go out' means that God's truth will depart. This is clear from the meaning of 'going out' as departing; and from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth. These words mean that when those who have molested the upright are damned all God's truth departs from them, for then their state is one in which their own evil reigns, and evil rejects and eliminates all God's truth. Previously, before they were damned, they were, it is true, acquainted with the truths of faith; but even so, they did not have truths within themselves. Truths were on their lips but not in their hearts. Consequently, when they underwent vastation of those truths evil remained, and the falsity of evil that had lain concealed within them emerged at the same time also. For although they declared a belief in truths they were not guided by them but by falsities. Their declaration of belief in what is true did not spring from its proper origin - from good - but from evil; for gain, important positions, and reputation, and so self and the world, were the reasons for its existence with them. Truths which spring from that kind of origin cling to the surface, and therefore, when they are laid waste, they fall off like scales; and when they fall off they leave behind places with a terrible, rotten stink because of the falsities that emanate from the evils there. Such is the fate of those who have been acquainted with the truths of faith and yet have led a life contrary to them, as accords with the Lord's words in Luke,

That servant who knows the Lord's will, but neither prepares himself nor does his will, will be beaten with many [blows]. But he who does not know, although he does things worthy of blows, will be beaten with few. Luke 12:47-48.

Heart

  
by Caleb Kerr

The heart means love. A good heart means love to the Lord and to the neighbor, while a hard or stony heart means the love of self or the world -- riches and things. When the psalmist asks the Lord to search his heart, he wants the Lord to see what it is that he loves. And we are what we love. What we eat may form our earthly body, but it's only temporary, what we love forms our spiritual body, beautiful or ugly as we have chosen. It's interesting to note that the first multi-cellular motion of our embryo is the pulsating that starts in a twist of blood vessel that is to become our heart, and the last motion of our natural body is our heartbeat. It is there for all of our natural life. And of course there is a beating heart in our spiritual bodies when we come to put them on.
