Studie

   

1 A druge godine carovanja Navuhodonosorovog usni Navuhodonosor san, i uznemiri mu se duh i san ga prođe.

2 I reče car da dozovu vrače i zvezdare i gatare i Haldeje da kažu caru san njegov. I dođoše i staše pred carem.

3 I reče im car: Usnih san, i uznemiri mi se duh kako bih doznao šta sam snio.

4 A Haldeji rekoše caru sirski: Care, da si živ doveka! Pripovedi san slugama svojim, pa ćemo ti kazati šta znači.

5 A car odgovori i reče Haldejima: Zaboravio sam, ako mi ne kažete šta sam snio i šta znači, bićete isečeni i kuće će vaše biti bunjišta.

6 Ako li mi kažete šta sam snio i šta znači, dobićete od mene dare i poklone i veliku čast; kažite mi dakle šta sam snio i šta znači.

7 Odgovoriše opet i rekoše: Neka car pripovedi san slugama svojim, pa ćemo kazati šta znači.

8 Car odgovori i reče: Doista vidim da hoćete vremena da dobijete; jer vidite da sam zaboravio.

9 Ali ako mi ne kažete šta sam snio i šta znači, jedan vam je sud; jer ste se dogovorili da kažete preda mnom laž i prevaru dok se promeni vreme; zato kažite mi san, pa ću videti da mi možete kazati šta znači.

10 Odgovoriše Haldeji caru i rekoše: Nema čoveka na zemlji koji bi mogao kazati caru to šta ište; zato nijedan car ni knez ni vlastelin nije nikada iskao takvo šta od vrača ili zvezdara ili Haldejca.

11 I šta car ište vrlo je teško; niti ima drugog koji bi mogao kazati caru osim bogova, koji ne žive među ljudima.

12 Zato se car razljuti i razgnevi vrlo, i zapovedi da se pogube svi mudraci vavilonski.

13 I kad iziđe zapovest, te ubijahu mudrace, tražahu i Danila i drugove njegove da ih ubiju.

14 Tada Danilo odgovori mudro i razumno Ariohu zapovedniku stražarskom, koji beše izašao da ubija mudrace vavilonske;

15 Odgovori i reče Ariohu, vlastelinu carevom: Zašto je tako nagla zapovest od cara? Tada Arioh kaza stvar Danilu.

16 A Danilo otide i zamoli cara da mu ostavi vremena, pa će kazati caru šta san znači.

17 Potom otide Danilo kući svojoj, i kaza stvar Ananiji, Misailu i Azariji, drugovima svojim,

18 Da se mole za milost Bogu nebeskom radi te tajne, da ne bi poginuli Danilo i drugovi mu s ostalim mudracima vavilonskim.

19 I objavi se tajna Danilu, u noćnoj utvari; tada Danilo blagoslovi Boga nebeskog.

20 Progovori Danilo i reče: Da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje od veka do veka; jer je Njegova mudrost i sila;

21 I On menja vremena i čase; smeće careve, i postavlja careve; daje mudrost mudrima i razum razumnima.

22 On otkriva šta je duboko i sakriveno, zna šta je u mraku, i svetlost kod Njega stanuje.

23 Tebe, Bože otaca mojih, hvalim i slavim, šta si mi dao mudrost i silu, i šta si mi objavio za šta Te molismo objaviv nam stvar carevu.

24 Tada otide Danilo k Ariohu, kog car beše odredio da pogubi mudrace vavilonske; i došav ovako mu reče: Ne gubi mudraca vavilonskih; izvedi me pred cara da kažem caru šta san znači.

25 Tada Arioh brže izvede Danila pred cara, i ovako mu reče: Nađoh čoveka između roblja Judinog, koji će kazati caru šta san znači.

26 A car progovori i reče Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar: Možeš li mi kazati san koji sam snio i šta znači?

27 Odgovori Danilo caru i reče: Tajnu koju car ište ne mogu kazati caru mudraci ni zvezdari ni vrači ni gatari.

28 Nego ima Bog na nebu koji otkriva tajne i javlja caru Navuhodonosoru šta će biti do kraja. San tvoj i šta ti je videla glava na postelji tvojoj ovo je:

29 Tebi, care, dođoše misli na postelji šta će biti posle, i Onaj koji objavljuje tajne pokaza ti šta će biti.

30 A meni se ova tajna nije objavila mudrošću koja bi u mene bila mimo sve žive, nego zato da se javi caru šta san znači i da doznaš misli srca svog.

31 Ti, care, vide, a to lik velik; velik beše lik i svetlost mu silna, i stajaše prema tebi, i strašan beše na očima.

32 Glava tom liku beše od čistog zlata, prsi i mišice od srebra, trbuh i bedra od bronze,

33 Noge mu od gvožđa, a stopala koje od gvožđa koje od zemlje.

34 Ti gledaše dokle se odvali kamen bez ruku, i udari lik u stopala bronzana i zemljana, i satre ih.

35 Tada se satre i gvožđe i zemlja i bronza i srebro i zlato, i posta kao pleva na gumnu u leto, te odnese vetar, i ne nađe mu se mesto; a kamen, koji udari lik, posta gora velika i ispuni svu zemlju.

36 To je san; a sada ćemo kazati caru šta znači.

37 Ti si, care, car nad carevima, jer ti Bog nebeski dade carstvo, silu i krepost i slavu,

38 I gde god žive sinovi ljudski, zveri poljske i ptice nebeske, dao ti je u ruke, i postavio te gospodarem nad svim tim. Ti si ona glava zlatna.

39 A nakon tebe nastaće drugo carstvo, manje od tvog; a potom treće carstvo, bronzano, koje će vladati po svoj zemlji.

40 A četvrto će carstvo biti tvrdo kao gvožđe, jer gvožđe satire i troši sve, i kao gvožđe što sve lomi, tako će satrti i polomiti.

41 A što si video stopala i prste koje od kala lončarskog koje od gvožđa, biće carstvo razdeljeno, ali će biti u njemu tvrđe od gvožđa, jer si video gvožđe pomešano s kalom lončarskim.

42 I što prsti na nogama behu koje od gvožđa koje od kala, carstvo će biti nešto jako, a nešto trošno.

43 A što si video gvožđe pomešano sa kalom lončarskim, to će se oni pomešati sa semenom čovečijim, ali neće prionuti jedan za drugog kao što se gvožđe ne može smešati s kalom.

44 A u vreme tih careva Bog će nebeski podignuti carstvo koje se do veka neće rasuti, i to se carstvo neće ostaviti drugom narodu; ono će satrti i ukinuti sva ta carstva, a samo će stajati do veka.

45 Kako si video gde se od gore odvali kamen bez ruku i satre gvožđe, bronzu, kao, srebro i zlato. Bog veliki javi caru šta će biti posle; san je istinit, i tumačenje mu verno.

46 Tada car Navuhodonosor pade na lice svoje, i pokloni se Danilu, i zapovedi da mu prinesu prinos i kad.

47 Car progovori Danilu i reče: Doista, vaš je Bog Bog nad bogovima i Gospodar nad carevima, i koji objavljuje tajne, kad si mogao otkriti ovu tajnu.

48 Tada car uzvisi Danila, i dade mu mnoge velike darove i učini ga gospodarem svoj zemlji vavilonskoj i poglavarem nad svim mudracima vavilonskim.

49 I Danilo izmoli u cara, te postavi nad poslovima zemlje vavilonske Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, a Danilo osta na dvoru carevom.

625. 1 The fifth experience.

Once when I was meditating on the Lord's second coming, there suddenly appeared a beam of light, so powerful as to dazzle my eyes. So I looked up, and saw the whole heaven above me full of light; and from east to west I heard a long series of voices glorifying God. An angel came close and said: 'This is the glorifying of the Lord on account of His coming, uttered by the angels of the eastern and western heavens.' Nothing was heard from the southern or northern heavens but a polite murmur.

Since the angel could hear everything, he told me first that this glorifying and praising of the Lord was taken from the Word. Then he said: 'Now in particular they are glorifying and praising the Lord with the words spoken by the prophet Daniel.

You have seen iron mixed with common clay, but they will not hold together. But in those days the God of the heavens will cause a kingdom to rise which shall not perish for ever. It will shatter and consume all these kingdoms, but will stand itself for ever.' Daniel 2:43-44.

[2] After this I heard what sounded like singing, and yet further away to the east I saw a gleam of light more brilliant than before. I asked the angel what was the glorifying taking place there. He said it was what Daniel described:

I was watching in the visions of the night and I saw the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. To him were given dominion and the kingdom and all peoples and nations will worship him. His dominion will be a dominion for ever, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not perish, Daniel 7:13-14.

Besides this they praise the Lord with these words from Revelation:

To Jesus Christ be glory and strength. Behold, He comes with clouds. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. I, John, heard this from the Son of Man from the midst of the seven lampstands, Revelation 1:5-13; 22:8, 13, Also with the words of Matthew 24:30-31.

[3] I looked again to the east of heaven, and the light was growing from the right; the brightness spread into the expanse of sky to the south, and I heard a sweet sound. I asked the angel what glorifying of the Lord was taking place there. He said it was with these words from Revelation:

I saw a new heaven and a new earth; and I saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride for her husband. And I heard a mighty voice out of heaven saying: Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them. And the angel spoke with me and said: Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb. And he carried me away in the spirit onto a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, Revelation 21:1-3, 9-10.

Also with these words:

I, Jesus, am the bright star of the morning; and the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And He said, I am coming soon. Amen; even so, come, Lord Jesus, Revelation 22:16-17, 20.

[4] After this and more I heard a general glorifying from the east of heaven to the west, and also from the south to the north. I asked the angel what this was. He said it was these words from the Prophets:

Let all flesh know that I am Jehovah your Saviour and your Redeemer, Isaiah 49:26.

Thus spoke Jehovah, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth, I am the first and the last, and there is no God beside me, Isaiah 44:6.

On that day it will be said, Behold, this is our God, whom we have awaited to free us. He is Jehovah, whom we have awaited, Isaiah 25:9.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way for Jehovah. Behold, the Lord Jehovih comes in strength. He will feed his flock like a shepherd, Isaiah 40:3, 5, 10-11.

A child is born for us, a son is given to us, whose name is Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace, Isaiah 9:6.

Behold, the days will come when I shall raise up for David a righteous shoot, who will reign as king. And this is his name, Jehovah our righteousness, Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16.

Jehovah Zebaoth is his name and the Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He will be called the God of the whole earth, Isaiah 54:5.

On that day Jehovah will be king over the whole earth; on that day Jehovah will be one, and His name one, Zechariah 14:9.

On hearing and understanding this my heart leaped for joy and I went home rejoicing; and there I came back from the state of the spirit into that of the body, in which state I wrote down these things I had seen and heard.
