Иеремия 17

Studie

   

1 Грех Иуды написан железным резцом, алмазным острием начертан на скрижали сердца их и на рогах жертвенников их.

2 Как о сыновьях своих, воспоминают они о жертвенниках своих и дубравах своих у зеленых дерев, на высоких холмах.

3 Гору Мою в поле, имущество твое и все сокровища твои отдам на расхищение, и все высоты твои – за грехи во всех пределах твоих.

4 И ты чрез себя лишишься наследия твоего, которое Я дал тебе, и отдамтебя в рабство врагам твоим, в землю, которой ты не знаешь, потому что вы воспламенили огонь гнева Моего; он будет гореть вовеки.

5 Так говорит Господь: проклят человек, который надеется на человека и плоть делает своею опорою, и которого сердце удаляется от Господа.

6 Он будет как вереск в пустыне и не увидит, когда придет доброе, и поселится в местах знойных в степи, на земле бесплодной, необитаемой.

7 Благословен человек, который надеется на Господа, и которого упование – Господь.

8 Ибо он будет как дерево, посаженное при водах и пускающее корни свои у потока; не знает оно, когда приходит зной; лист его зелен, и во время засухи оно не боится и не перестает приносить плод.

9 Лукаво сердце человеческое более всего и крайне испорчено; ктоузнает его?

10 Я, Господь, проникаю сердце и испытываю внутренности, чтобы воздать каждому по пути его и по плодам дел его.

11 Куропатка садится на яйца, которых не несла; таков приобретающий богатство неправдою: он оставит его на половине дней своих, и глупцом останется при конце своем.

12 Престол славы, возвышенный от начала, есть место освящения нашего.

13 Ты, Господи, надежда Израилева; все, оставляющие Тебя, посрамятся. „Отступающие от Меня будут написаны на прахе, потому что оставили Господа, источник воды живой".

14 Исцели меня, Господи, и исцелен буду; спаси меня, и спасен буду; ибо Ты хвала моя.

15 Вот, они говорят мне: „где слово Господне? пусть оно придет!"

16 Я не спешил быть пастырем у Тебя и не желал бедственного дня, Ты это знаешь; что вышло из уст моих, открыто пред лицем Твоим.

17 Не будь страшен для меня, Ты – надежда моя в день бедствия.

18 Пусть постыдятся гонители мои, а я не буду постыжен; пусть они вострепещут, а я буду бестрепетен; наведи на них день бедствия и сокруши их сугубым сокрушением.

19 Так сказал мне Господь: пойди и стань в воротах сынов народа, которыми входят цари Иудейские и которыми они выходят, и во всех воротах Иерусалимских,

20 и говори им: слушайте слово Господне, цари Иудейские, и вся Иудея, и все жители Иерусалима, входящие сими воротами.

21 Так говорит Господь: берегите души свои и не носите нош в день субботний и не вносите их воротами Иерусалимскими,

22 и не выносите нош из домов ваших в день субботний, и не занимайтесь никакою работою, но святите день субботний так, как Я заповедал отцам вашим,

23 которые впрочем не послушались и не приклонили уха своего, но сделались жестоковыйными, чтобы не слушать и не принимать наставления.

24 И если вы послушаете Меня в том, говорит Господь, чтобы не носить нош воротами сего города в день субботний и чтобы святить субботу, не занимаясь в этот день никакою работою,

25 то воротами сего города будут входить цари и князья, сидящие на престоле Давида, ездящие на колесницах и на конях, они икнязья их, Иудеи и жители Иерусалима, и город сей будет обитаем вечно.

26 И будут приходить из городов Иудейских, и из окрестностей Иерусалима, и из земли Вениаминовой, и с равнины и с гор и с юга, и приносить всесожжение и жертву, и хлебное приношение, и ливан, и благодарственные жертвы в дом Господень.

27 А если не послушаете Меня в том, чтобы святить день субботний и не носить нош, входя в ворота Иерусалима в день субботний, то возжгу огонь в воротах его, и он пожрет чертоги Иерусалима и не погаснет.

2. Someone who thinks in this way, however, does not reflect that Jehovah Himself, the God of heaven and earth, spoke the Word through Moses and the prophets, and that it must therefore be Divine truth itself. For whatever Jehovah Himself utters is such truth. Nor does that person reflect that the Lord, who is the same as Jehovah, spoke the Word reported by the Gospel writers, much of it in person, and the rest by the breath of His mouth, which is the Holy Spirit. Consequently what He Himself says is, in His own words, life, and He is the light that enlightens, and truth personified.

[2] That Jehovah Himself spoke the Word through the prophets is something we showed in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Lord 52-53.

That the words the Lord Himself spoke, as reported by the Gospel writers, are life, is something He said in John:

The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63)

Again in John, Jesus said to the woman at Jacob’s spring:

If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, “Give Me a drink, ” you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.... Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:6, 10, 14)

Jacob’s spring symbolizes the Word, as in Deuteronomy 33:28 as well. That, too, is why the Lord sat there and spoke with the woman. And the water symbolizes the Word’s truth.

[3] Again in John:

...Jesus...(said), “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture says, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38)

And again:

...Peter (said to Jesus), “...You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68)

Therefore the Lord says in Mark:

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. (Mark 13:31)

The Lord’s words are life because He is the life and the truth, as He tells us in John:

I am the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)

And again in John:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:1, 4)

The Word there means the Lord in relation to Divine truth, in which alone there is life and light.

[4] It is on this account that the Word, being from the Lord and embodying the Lord, is called “a fountain of living waters” (Jeremiah 2:13, 17:13), “a fountain of salvation” (Isaiah 12:3), “a fountain” (Zechariah 13:1). Also “a river of the water of life” (Revelation 22:1). And we are told that “the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters” (Revelation 7:17).

There are in addition many other places where the Word is called the sanctuary and the tabernacle in which the Lord dwells with mankind.

Deuteronomy 33

Studie

   

1 This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

2 He said, "Yahweh came from Sinai, And rose from Seir to them. He shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

3 Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet; [Everyone] shall receive of your words.

4 Moses commanded us a law, An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.

5 He was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together.

6 "Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few."

7 This is [the blessing] of Judah: and he said, "Hear, Yahweh, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help against his adversaries."

8 Of Levi he said, "Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove at the waters of Meribah;

9 who said of his father, and of his mother, 'I have not seen him;' Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know his own children: For they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.

10 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.

11 Yahweh, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands. Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again."

12 Of Benjamin he said, "The beloved of Yahweh shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long. He dwells between his shoulders."

13 Of Joseph he said, "His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,

14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things of the growth of the moons,

15 for the chief things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,

16 for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let [the blessing] come on the head of Joseph, On the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

17 The firstborn of his herd, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push the peoples all of them, [even] the ends of the earth: They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh."

18 Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.

19 They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand."

20 Of Gad he said, "He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.

21 He provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. He came [with] the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Yahweh, His ordinances with Israel."

22 Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan."

23 Of Naphtali he said, "Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the blessing of Yahweh, Possess the west and the south."

24 Of Asher he said, "Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.

25 Your bars shall be iron and brass. As your days, so your strength will be.

26 "There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, In his excellency on the skies.

27 The eternal God is [your] dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy!'

28 Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.

29 You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency! Your enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread on their high places."
