Ponovljeni Zakon 32

Studie

   

1 Slušaj, nebo, govoriću; i zemlja neka čuje govor usta mojih.

2 Neka se spusti kao dažd nauka moja, i neka padne kao rosa govor moj, kao sitan dažd na mladu travu i kao krupan dažd na odraslu travu.

3 Jer ću javljati ime Gospodnje; veličajte Boga našeg.

4 Delo je te Stene savršeno, jer su svi putevi Njegovi pravda; Bog je veran, bez nepravde; pravedan je i istinit.

5 Oni se pokvariše prema Njemu; njihovo nevaljalstvo nije nevaljalstvo sinova Njegovih; to je rod zao i pokvaren.

6 Tako li vraćate Gospodu, narode ludi i bezumni? Nije li On Otac tvoj koji te je zadobio? On te je načinio i stvorio.

7 Opomeni se nekadašnjih dana, pogledajte godine svakog veka; pitaj oca svog i on će ti javiti, starije svoje i kazaće ti.

8 Kad Višnji razdade nasledstvo narodima, kad razdeli sinove Adamove, postavi međe narodima po broju sinova Izrailjevih.

9 Jer je deo Gospodnji narod Njegov, Jakov je uže nasledstva Njegovog.

10 Nađe ga u zemlji pustoj, na mestu strašnom gde buči pustoš; vodi ga unaokolo, uči ga i čuva kao zenicu oka svog.

11 Kao što orao izmamljuje orliće svoje, diže se nad ptićima svojim, širi krila svoja, uzima ih i nosi na krilima svojim,

12 Tako ga Gospod vođaše, i s njim ne beše tuđeg boga;

13 Vođaše ga na visine zemaljske da jede rod poljski, i davaše mu da sisa med iz stene i ulje iz tvrdog kamena,

14 Maslo od krava i mleko od ovaca s pretilinom od jaganjaca i ovnova vasanskih i jaraca, sa srcem zrna pšeničnih; i pio si vino, krv od grožđa.

15 Ali se Izrailj ugoji, pa se stade ritati; utio si, udebljao i zasalio; pa ostavi Boga koji ga je stvorio, i prezre stenu spasenja svog.

16 Na revnost razdražiše Ga tuđim bogovima, gadovima razgneviše Ga.

17 Prinosiše žrtve đavolima, ne Bogu, bogovima, kojih nisu znali, novim, koji iz bliza dođoše, kojih se nisu strašili oci vaši.

18 Stenu koja te je rodila zaboravio si; zaboravio si Boga Stvoritelja svog.

19 Kad to vide Gospod, razgnevi se na sinove svoje i na kćeri svoje,

20 I reče: Sakriću od njih lice svoje, videću kakav će im biti posledak, jer su rod pokvaren, sinovi u kojima nema vere.

21 Oni me razdražiše na revnost onim što nije Bog, razgneviše svojim taštinama; i ja ću njih razdražiti na revnost onim koji nije narod, narodom ludim razljutiću ih.

22 Jer se oganj razgoreo u gnevu mom, i goreće do najdubljeg pakla; spaliće zemlju i rod njen, i popaliće temelje brdima.

23 Zgrnuću na njih zla, strele svoje pobacaću na njih.

24 Glad će ih cediti, vrućice i ljuti pomori proždiraće ih; i zube zverske poslaću na njih i jed zmija zemaljskih.

25 Spolja će ih ubijati mač, a po kletima strah, i momka i devojku, dete na sisi i sedog čoveka.

26 Rekao bih: Rasejaću ih po svim uglovima zemaljskim, učiniću da nestane spomen njihov između ljudi,

27 Da mi nije do mržnje neprijateljeve, da se ne bi neprijatelji njihovi poneli i rekli: Ruka se naša uzvisila, a nije Gospod učinio sve ovo.

28 Jer su narod koji propada sa svojih namera, i nema u njih razuma.

29 Kamo da su pametni, da razumeju ovo, i gledaju na kraj svoj!

30 Kako bi jedan gonio hiljadu a dvojica terala deset hiljada, da ih nije stena njihova prodala i Gospod ih predao?

31 Jer stena njihova nije kao naša Stena; neprijatelji naši neka budu sudije.

32 Jer je čokot njihov od čokota sodomskog i iz polja gomorskog; grožđe je njihovo grožđe otrovno, puca su mu gorka.

33 Vino je njihovo otrov zmajevski, i ljuti jed aspidin.

34 Nije li to sakriveno kod mene, zapečaćeno u riznicama mojim?

35 Moja je osveta i plata, u svoje vreme popuznuće noga njihova, jer je blizu dan propasti njihove, i ide brzo šta će ih zadesiti.

36 Sudiće Gospod narodu svom, i žao će mu biti sluga Njegovih, kad vidi da je prošla snaga i da nema ništa ni od uhvaćenog ni od ostavljenog.

37 I reći će: Gde su bogovi njihovi? Stena u koju se uzdaše?

38 Koji salo od žrtava njegovih jedoše i piše vino od naliva njihovih. Neka ustanu i pomognu vam, i neka vam budu zaklon.

39 Vidite sada da sam ja, ja sam, i da nema Boga osim mene. Ja ubijam i oživljujem, ranim i isceljujem, i nema nikoga ko bi izbavio iz moje ruke.

40 Jer podižem k nebu ruku svoju i kažem: Ja sam živ doveka.

41 Ako naoštrim sjajni mač svoj i uzmem u ruku sud, učiniću osvetu na neprijateljima svojim i vratiću onima koji mrze na me.

42 Opojiću strele svoje krvlju, i mač će se moj najesti mesa, krvlju isečenih i zarobljenih, kad počnem osvetu na neprijateljima.

43 Veselite se narodi s narodom Njegovim, jer će pokajati krv sluga svojih, i osvetiće se neprijateljima svojim, i očistiće zemlju svoju i narod svoj.

44 I dođe Mojsije i izgovori sve reči pesme ove narodu, on i Isus, sin Navin.

45 A kad izgovori Mojsije sve reči ove svemu Izrailju,

46 Reče im: Privijte srce svoje k svim rečima koje vam ja danas zasvedočavam, i kazujte ih sinovima svojim da bi držali sve reči ovog zakona i tvorili ih.

47 Jer nije prazna reč da za nju ne marite, nego je život vaš; i tom ćete rečju produžiti dane svoje na zemlji, u koju idete preko Jordana da je nasledite.

48 U isti dan reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

49 Iziđi na ovu goru avarimsku, na goru Navav, koja je u zemlji moavskoj prema Jerihonu, i vidi zemlju hanansku koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevim u državu.

50 I umri na gori na koju iziđeš, i priberi s k rodu svom, kao što je umro Aron, brat tvoj na gori Oru i pribrao se k rodu svom.

51 Jer mi zgrešiste među sinovima Izrailjevim na vodi od svađe u Kadisu u pustinji Sinu, što me ne proslaviste među sinovima Izrailjevim.

52 Pred sobom ćeš videti zemlju, ali nećeš u nju ući, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevim.

8812. 'When it came to be morning' means a state when they were governed by good. This is clear from the meaning of 'morning' as a state of the good of love, dealt with in 8426. From these details - that Jehovah, that is, the Lord, came down onto Mount Sinai on the third day, and also in the morning of that day - it is plainly evident that this event was representative of some Divine reality in heaven which no one can come to know about except from the correspondence of such things as arise in the natural world with realities in the spiritual world, and therefore from the spiritual meaning of those things. This is so here so far as the meaning of 'morning' and 'the third day' are concerned. 'The third day' means the end of a former state, and it does so because 'three' means what is complete from start to finish, 8790; and 'morning' means a state of the good of love, because the sun - the sun in the next life which gives light to angels and the whole of heaven - is the Lord. The fire there is His Divine Love, which gives vital heat to all that lives, and the light there is Divine Truth which enlightens all who receive it. The sun there is altogether different from the sun in the world, whose fire is fire and not love, and whose radiating light is light and not truth.

[2] All this goes to show what kind of effects the fire and also the light coming from the sun in the world produce, and what kind of effects the fire and light coming from the sun of heaven produce. The sun in the world provides heat and light without life, whereas the sun in heaven provides heat and light together with life. The latter, being provided by the sun of heaven, are therefore called spiritual, because they hold life within them, whereas the former, which are provided by the sun of the world, are called natural and do not hold life within them. The life in living things that is recognized in their heat and indicated by it does not come from the heat of the sun in the world but from the heat of the sun in heaven. When the latter heat enters heat in the world it produces that effect; the body feels it as elemental heat, but this has vital heat in it, which has its origin in the love that is heat from the sun of heaven. The truth that vital heat springs from a source other than the sun in the world, and that it owes its origin to love and exists according to the amount and the character of that love within it, anyone is able to know provided that he is prepared to think about it properly. Anyone can know except those who do not acknowledge anything internal in the human being and attribute everything to natural forces.

[3] Since therefore heat from the sun in heaven, which is the Lord, is the good of love, and the light from it is the truth of faith, one may see what is meant by 'morning', and what by 'midday', 'evening', and 'night' in the next life. They are states of good and truth or love and faith, 'morning' being a state of the good of love, 'midday' a state of the truth of faith, 'evening and night' a deprivation of them, which is ignorance and blindness in insights that belong to faith, and also slowness and coldness in feelings that belong to heavenly love.

[4] Furthermore the situation with the sun of heaven is as it is with the sun in the world, in that it is motionless and does not bring about those states by any wheeling round of its own. Rather the things around it bring them about, just as a planet travelling round the sun and at the same time rotating on its axis produces changes. The appearance therefore is that those changes are attributable to the sun, but in reality they are not attributable to the sun, only to the planet going round it. So also in heaven. Changes of state there, to which morning, midday, evening, and night correspond, are not attributable to the sun there, for that sun is always radiating heat and light, that is, the good of love and the truth of faith. Instead those changes are attributable to the recipients, that is to say, to the angels and spirits, who move through a regular cycle of such changes as their life progresses. At one point it is morning, that is, they are filled with the good of love; at another it is midday, that is, they are enlightened with the truth of faith; and at yet another it is evening and night, that is, these gifts become vague and dull with them.

[5] The reason why the situation in the world is as it is in heaven, except for the difference that in the world the regular cycle consists of states belonging to the times of day, while in heaven it consists of states of life, is that all things in the world have been created in the image of those in heaven. For natural things arise from spiritual ones as effects from their causes. Consequently there is a correspondence of all things in the world with those in heaven, and therefore the whole natural order is nothing other than a theatre representative of the Lord's kingdom, 3483, 4939, 8211.
