Ponovljeni Zakon 33

Studie

   

1 A ovo je blagoslov kojim blagoslovi Mojsije, čovek Božji sinove Izrailjeve pred smrt svoju.

2 I reče: Gospod iziđe sa Sinaja, i pokaza im se sa Sira; zasja s gore Faranske, i dođe s mnoštvom hiljada svetaca, a u desnici mu zakon ognjeni za njih.

3 Doista ljubi narode; svi su sveti Njegovi u ruci Tvojoj; i oni se slegoše k nogama Tvojim da prime reči Tvoje.

4 Mojsije nam dade zakon, nasledstvo zboru Jakovljevom.

5 Jer beše car u Izrailju, kad se sabirahu knezovi narodni, plemena Izrailjeva.

6 Da živi Ruvim i ne umre, a ljudi njegovih da bude malo!

7 A za Judu reče: Usliši Gospode glas Judin, i dovedi ga opet k narodu njegovom; ruke njegove neka vojuju na nj, a Ti mu pomaži protiv neprijatelja njegovih.

8 I za Levija reče: Tvoj Tumim i Tvoj Urim neka budu u čoveka Tvog svetog, kog si okušao u Masi i s kojim si se prepirao na vodi Merivi;

9 Koji kaže ocu svom i materi svojoj: Ne gledam na vas; koji ne poznaje braću svoju i za sinove svoje ne zna, jer drži reči Tvoje i zavet Tvoj čuva.

10 Oni uče uredbama Tvojim Jakova i zakonu Tvom Izrailja, i meću kad pod nozdrve Tvoje i žrtvu što se sažiže na oltar Tvoj.

11 Blagoslovi, Gospode, vojsku njegovu, i neka Ti milo bude delo ruku njegovih; polomi bedre onima koji ustaju na nj i koji mrze na nj, da ne ustanu.

12 Za Venijamina reče: Mili Gospodu nastavaće bez straha s Njim; zaklanjaće ga svaki dan, i među plećima Njegovim nastavaće.

13 I za Josifa reče: Blagoslovena je zemlja njegova od Gospoda blagom s neba, rosom i iz dubine odozdo,

14 I blagom koje dolazi od sunca, i blagom koje dolazi od meseca.

15 I blagom starih brda i blagom večnih humova.

16 I blagom na zemlji i obiljem njenim, i milošću onog koji stoji u kupini. Neka to dođe ne glavu Josifu i na teme odvojenome između braće svoje.

17 Krasota je njegova kao u prvenca teleta, i rogovi njegovi kao rogovi u jednoroga; njima će bosti narode sve do kraja zemlje; to je mnoštvo hiljada Jefremovih i hiljade Manasijine.

18 A za Zavulona reče: Veseli se Zavulone izlaskom svojim, i Isahare šatorima svojim.

19 Narode će sazvati na goru, onde će prineti žrtve pravedne; jer će obilje morsko sisati i skriveno blago u pesku.

20 A za Gada reče: Blagosloven je koji širi Gada; on nastava kao lav, i kida ruku i glavu.

21 Izabra sebi prvo, jer onde dobi deo od Onog koji dade zakon; zato će ići s knezovima narodnim, i izvršavati pravdu Gospodnju i sudove Njegove s Izrailjem.

22 A za Dana reče: Dan je lavić, koji će iskakati iz Vasana.

23 I za Neftalima reče: Neftalime, siti milosti i puni blagoslova Gospodnjeg, zapad i jug uzmi.

24 I za Asira reče: Asir će biti blagoslov mimo druge sinove, biće mio braći svojoj, zamakaće u ulje nogu svoju.

25 Gvožđe i bronza biće pod obućom tvojom; i dokle traju dani tvoji trajaće snaga tvoja.

26 Izrailju! Niko nije kao Bog, koji ide po nebu tebi u pomoć, i u veličanstvu svom na oblacima.

27 Zaklon je Bog večni i pod mišicom večnom; On će odagnati ispred tebe neprijatelje tvoje, i reći će: Zatri!

28 Da bi nastavao Izrailj sam bezbrižno, izvor Jakovljev, u zemlji obilnoj žitom i vinom; i nebo će njegovo pokropiti rosom.

29 Blago tebi narode Izrailju! Ko je kao ti, narod kog je sačuvao Gospod, štit pomoći tvoje, i mač slave tvoje? Neprijatelji će se tvoji poniziti, a ti ćeš gaziti visine njihove.

Apocalypse Explained # 812

/ 1232  
  

812. If any one killeth with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. This signifies that those who imbue others with falsities shall be imbued with falsities from hell, is evident from the signification of a sword (gladius) and a sword (machaera), as denoting truth combating against falsity, and, in the opposite sense, falsity combating against truth; in the present case falsity combating against truth. Hence to kill with a sword denotes to destroy truths by falsities, and also to imbue with falsities; and from the signification of, he must be killed with the sword, as denoting to be imbued with falsities from hell.

The reason why these are imbued with falsities from hell is, that they have shut heaven against themselves by falsities. And when heaven is shut against any one, then hell is open to him; for a man must be either in heaven or hell. He cannot be between both. Consequently, when any one shuts heaven against himself, he opens hell to himself; and from hell nothing but falsities of evil can arise, with which he becomes imbued. No other falsities, however, shut heaven, but those that are from evil. For there are falsities of various kinds - falsities of ignorance, falsities of religion, and falsities from a non-understanding of the Word. In short, falsities that lead to a life of evil, and proceed from a life of evil, because they are from hell, close heaven. From these it is evident, that if any one killeth with the sword, he must be killed with the sword, signifies that those who imbue others with falsities will be imbued with falsities from hell.

[2] The signification of the words which the Lord spoke to Peter is similar:

"All those that take the sword, must perish with the sword" (Matthew 26:52).

This was said to Peter, because he represented the truth of faith, and also the falsity of faith. Therefore by taking the sword and perishing with it, was signified to receive the falsity of faith, and to perish thereby.

The reason why those signified by this beast, that is, those who by reasonings confirm the separation of faith from life, are those who kill with a sword, and are killed with a sword, that is, imbue others with falsities, and are themselves imbued with falsities from hell, is, that the dogma concerning faith alone excludes all truths and rejects all goods. That faith alone excludes all truths is evident, for they insist that we are saved by this merely, "That the Lord endured the cross for our sins, and thereby took away the condemnation of the law, and so redeemed us." And because it is their desire that this single principle, which they call faith itself, should be saving, they do not take any pains to learn truths, although it is truths that teach man how he must live; and consequently they are many. That faith alone also rejects goods, follows from the dogma itself, which is that faith alone justifies without good works; so that the essential goods of love to God, and the goods of charity towards the neighbour, are regarded as of no account.
