Амос 5

Studie

   

1 Čujte ovu reč, naricanje koje podižem za vama, dome Izrailjev.

2 Pade, neće više ustati devojka Izrailjeva; bačena je na zemlju svoju, nema nikoga da je podigne.

3 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: U gradu iz kog je izlazila hiljada ostaće stotina, a iz kog je izlazila stotina u njemu će ostati deset domu Izrailjevom.

4 Jer ovako veli Gospod domu Izrailjevom: Tražite me, i bićete živi.

5 A ne tražite Vetilja, i ne idite u Galgal, i ne prolazite u Virsaveju, jer će Galgal otići u ropstvo, a Vetilj će se obratiti u ništa.

6 Tražite Gospoda i bićete živi, da ne obuzme dom Josifov kao oganj i spali i ne bude nikoga da gasi Vetilj.

7 Koji obraćate sud u pelen, i pravdu na zemlji obarate.

8 Onog tražite koji je stvorio zvezde, kola i štape, i koji pretvara sen smrtni u jutro, a dan u tamnu noć, koji doziva vode morske i proliva ih po zemlji; ime Mu je Gospod.

9 Koji podiže pogibao na jakoga, te pogibao dođe na grad.

10 Mrze na onog koji kara na vratima, i gade se na onog koji govori pravo.

11 Zato što gazite siromaha i uzimate od njega žito u danak, sagradiste kuće od tesanog kamena, ali nećete sedeti u njima; nasadiste lepe vinograde, ali nećete piti vino iz njih.

12 Jer znam bezakonja vaša, kojih je mnogo, i grehe vaše, koji su veliki, koji mučite pravednika, primate poklone i izvrćete pravdu ubogima na vratima.

13 Zato će pravedni ćutati u ovo vreme, jer je zlo vreme.

14 Tražite dobro a ne zlo, da biste bili živi; i tako će Gospod Bog nad vojskama biti s vama, kako rekoste.

15 Mrzite na zlo i ljubite dobro, i postavite na vratima sud, ne bi li se Gospod Bog nad vojskama smilovao na ostatak Josifov.

16 Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Gospod: Biće tužnjava po svim ulicama, i po svim putevima govoriće: Jaoh! Jaoh! I zvaće ratare na žalost i na tužnjavu one koji umeju naricati.

17 I po svim će vinogradima biti tužnjava, jer ću proći posred tebe, govori Gospod.

18 Teško onima koji žele dan Gospodnji! Šta će vam dan Gospodnji? Tada je mrak a ne videlo.

19 Kao da bi ko bežao od lava pa bi ga sreo medved; ili kao da bi ko došao u kuću i naslonio se rukom na zid, pa bi ga zmija ujela.

20 Nije li dan Gospodnji mrak, a ne videlo? I tama, bez svetlosti?

21 Mrzim na vaše praznike, odbacio sam ih, i neću da mirišem svetkovina vaših.

22 Ako mi prinesete žrtve paljenice i prinose svoje, neću ih primiti, i neću pogledati na zahvalne žrtve od ugojene stoke vaše.

23 Ukloni od mene buku pesama svojih, i sviranja psaltira tvojih, neću da čujem.

24 Nego sud neka teče kao voda i pravda kao silan potok.

25 Jeste li meni prinosili žrtve i dare u pustinji četrdeset godina, dome Izrailjev?

26 Nego ste nosili šator Moloha svog, i Hijuna, likove svoje, zvezdu boga svog, koje sami sebi načiniste.

27 Zato ću vas preseliti iza Damaska, govori Gospod, kome je ime Bog nad vojskama.

Apocalypse Revealed # 650

650. 14:19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vintage of the vine of the earth. This symbolizes the end of the present Christian Church.

Thrusting in his sickle and gathering the vintage has the same symbolic meaning as thrusting in his sickle and reaping, but reaping is said in reference to the crop of a field, while gathering the vintage is said in reference to a vineyard. That to gather the vintage is to harvest a vineyard and gather the grapes, and to reap is to harvest a field and gather the grain, is apparent without explanation.

That a vineyard symbolizes the church which has the Word and where the Lord is thereby known, thus in this case the Christian Church, can be seen from the following passages:

(Jesus said,) "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he shall be cast out as a branch... withered... into the fire...." (John 15:5-6)

Jesus' likening the kingdom of heaven to a landowner who hired "laborers for his vineyard" (Matthew 20:1-8).

The sons who worked in a vineyard (Matthew 21:28).

The fig tree planted in a vineyard that bore no fruit (Luke 13:6-9).

Jesus' telling the following parable: A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it. And he leased it to farmers, that he might receive its fruit. But they killed the servants he sent to them, and finally killed his son (Matthew 21:33-39, Mark 12:1-9, Luke 20:9-16).

(I will) sing... a song of my beloved regarding his vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard...(which) he fenced around... and planted with a choice vine. (Isaiah 5:1-2ff.)

In that day reply to her, "A vineyard of red wine!" I, Jehovah, keep it, I water it every moment...." (Isaiah 27:2-3)

Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard... They have made it desolate. (Jeremiah 12:10-11)

Jehovah is entering into judgment with the elders... For you have set fire to the vineyard. (Isaiah 3:14)

In all vineyards there shall be wailing. (Amos 5:17-18)

In the vineyards there will be no singing or rejoicing. (Isaiah 16:10)
