Иеремия 45

Studie

   

1 Слово, которое пророк Иеремия сказал Варуху, сыну Нирии, когдаон написал слова сии из уст Иеремии в книгу, в четвертый год Иоакима, сына Иосии, царя Иудейского:

2 так говорит Господь, Бог Израилев, к тебе, Варух:

3 ты говоришь: „горе мне! ибо Господь приложил скорбь к болезни моей;я изнемог от вздохов моих, и не нахожу покоя".

4 Так скажи ему: так говорит Господь: вот, что Я построил, разрушу, и что насадил, искореню, – всю эту землю.

5 А ты просишь себе великого: не проси; ибо вот, Я наведу бедствие навсякую плоть, говорит Господь, а тебе вместо добычи оставлю душу твою во всех местах, куда ни пойдешь.

The Lord

  
The Ascension, by Benjamin West

The Bible refers to the Lord in many different ways seemingly interchangeably. Understood in the internal sense, though, there are important differences. To some degree, the meanings all start with "Jehovah," which is the Lord's actual name. It represents the perfect, eternal, infinite love which is the Lord's actual essence. As such it also represents the good will that flows from the Lord to us and His desire for us to be good. "God," meanwhile, represents the wisdom of the Lord and the true knowledge and understanding He offers to us. The term "the Lord" is very close in meaning to "Jehovah," and in many cases is interchangeable (indeed, translators have a tendency to go back and forth). When the two are used together, though, "the Lord" refers to the power of the Lord's goodness, the force it brings, whereas "Jehovah" represents the goodness itself. In the New Testament, the name "Jehovah" is never used; the term "the Lord" replaces it completely. There are two reasons for that. First, the Jews of the day considered the name "Jehovah" too holy to speak or write. Second, they would not have been able to grasp the idea that the Lord -- who was among them in human form at the time -- was in fact Jehovah Himself. This does ultimately lead to a difference in the two terms by the end of the Bible. Thought of as "Jehovah," the Lord is the ultimate human form and has the potential for assuming a physical human body; thought of as "the Lord" He actually has that human body, rendered divine by the events of his physical life.
