Ponovljeni Zakon 5

Studie

   

1 I Mojsije sazva sav narod Izrailjev, i reče im: Čuj Izrailju uredbe i zakone, koje ću danas kazati da čujete, da ih naučite i držite ih i tvorite.

2 Gospod Bog naš učini s nama zavet na Horivu.

3 Nije s ocima našim učinio taj zavet, nego s nama, koji smo danas tu svi živi.

4 Licem k licu govorio vam je Gospod na ovoj gori isred ognja;

5 Ja tada stajah između Gospoda i vas, da vam javim reči Gospodnje, jer vas beše strah od ognja i ne iziđoste na goru; i reče:

6 Ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj koji sam te izveo iz zemlje misirske, iz doma ropskog,

7 Nemoj imati bogove druge do mene.

8 Ne gradi sebi lik rezani, niti kakvu sliku od tvari koje su gore na nebu ili koje su dole na zemlji ili koje su u vodi ispod zemlje.

9 Nemoj im se klanjati niti im služiti, jer sam ja Gospod Bog tvoj, Bog revnitelj, koji na sinovima pohodim bezakonja otaca njihovih do trećeg i do četvrtog kolena, onih koji mrze na me,

10 A činim milost na hiljadama onih koji me ljube i čuvaju zapovesti moje.

11 Ne uzimaj uzalud ime Gospoda Boga svog, jer neće pred Gospodom biti prav ko uzme ime Njegovo uzalud.

12 Drži dan od odmora i svetkuj ga, kao što ti je zapovedio Gospod Bog tvoj.

13 Šest dana radi i svršuj sve poslove svoje.

14 A sedmi je dan odmor Gospodu Bogu tvom; nemoj raditi nikakav posao ni ti, ni sin tvoj ni kći tvoja, ni sluga tvoj ni sluškinja tvoja, ni vo tvoj ni magarac tvoj, niti koje živinče tvoje, ni došljak koji je kod tebe, da bi se odmorio sluga tvoj i sluškinja tvoja kao i ti.

15 I pamti da si bio rob u zemlji misirskoj, i Gospod Bog tvoj izvede te odande rukom krepkom i mišicom podignutom. Zato ti je Gospod Bog tvoj zapovedio da svetkuješ dan od odmora.

16 Poštuj oca svog i mater svoju, kao što ti je zapovedio Gospod Bog tvoj, da bi se produžili dani tvoji i da bi ti dobro bilo na zemlji, koju ti dade Gospod Bog tvoj.

17 Ne ubij.

18 Ne čini preljube.

19 Ne kradi.

20 Ne svedoči lažno na bližnjeg svog.

21 Ne poželi ženu bližnjeg svog, ne poželi kuću bližnjeg svog, ni njivu njegovu, ni slugu njegovog, ni sluškinju njegovu, ni vola njegovog, ni magarca njegovog, niti išta šta je bližnjeg tvog.

22 Te reči izgovori Gospod svemu zboru vašem na gori isred ognja, oblaka i mraka, glasom velikim, i ništa više, nego ih napisa na dve ploče kamene koje mi dade.

23 A vi kad čuste glas isred tame, jer gora ognjem goraše. pristupiste k meni, svi glavari od plemena vaših i starešine vaše,

24 I rekoste: Gle, pokaza nam Gospod Bog naš slavu i veličinu svoju, i čusmo glas Njegov isred ognja; danas videsmo gde Bog govori s čovekom, i čovek osta živ.

25 Pa sada zašto da pomremo? Jer će nas spaliti onaj oganj veliki; ako još čujemo glas Gospoda Boga svog, pomrećemo.

26 Jer koje je telo čulo glas Boga Živoga gde govori isred ognja, kao mi, i ostalo živo?

27 Idi ti, i saslušaj sve što će ti kazati Gospod Bog naš, pa onda ti kaži nama šta ti god kaže Gospod Bog naš, a mi ćemo slušati i tvoriti.

28 I Gospod ču glas od reči vaših kad vi govoraste, i reče mi Gospod: Čuh glas od reči tog naroda, koje rekoše tebi; šta rekoše dobro rekoše.

29 O, kad bi im bilo srce svagda tako da me se boje i drže sve zapovesti moje svagda, da bi bilo dobro njima i sinovima njihovim doveka.

30 Idi, reci im: Vratite se u šatore svoje.

31 A ti stani ovde kod mene, i kazaću ti sve zapovesti i uredbe i zakone, koje ćeš ih naučiti da tvore u zemlji koju im dajem u nasledstvo.

32 Gledajte, dakle da činite onako kako vam je zapovedio Gospod Bog vaš, ne svrćite ni nadesno ni nalevo.

33 Celim putem, koji vam je zapovedio Gospod Bog vaš, idite, da biste živi bili i da bi vam dobro bilo, i da bi vam se produžili dani u zemlji koju ćete naslediti.

7573. 'And Jehovah gave forth voices' means the departure and severance of communication with those governed by good and guided by truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'voices', which are claps of thunder, as God's truths which enlighten and perfect those in heaven, but frighten those in hell and subject them to vastation; and since they devastate the latter they mean the departure and severance of communication with those governed by good and guided by truth, this being the way in which they are devastated. The situation in all this is evident from what has been stated already in 7502, 7541, 7542, 7545, 7554. In these places it was shown that those who have belonged to the Church and consequently absorbed cognitions of truth and good from the Word, yet have led an evil life, have a line of communication with heaven through the truths and forms of good which they have brought with them from their time in the world, where they were in the Church. (A person brings with him into the next life whatever he knew in the world, indeed whatever he saw, heard, thought, spoke, willed, or did, see 2474, 2475, 2481-2486, 7398). This communication is what is taken away when they undergo vastation; and when communication has been taken away, so are truths and forms of good, and cognitions of them, removed. For whatever spirits, and indeed angels know flows in from the Lord by way of heaven, thus through communications that are made, see 6053-6058, 6180, 6215, 6307-6717, 6466-6495, 6613-6626. All this shows what is meant by a departure and severance of communication with those who are guided by truth and governed by good. The situation with God's truth in heaven and in hell - the truth that is meant by 'voices' - is like that with claps of thunder on earth. On high mountains claps of thunder are heard as no more than a gentle, quiet sound; but on the land lying below they are heard as a frightening crash. In the same way God's truth in heaven is gentle and mild, whereas in hell it is frightening.

[2] The meaning of 'voices', which are claps of thunder, as God's truths that enlighten and perfect those in heaven, and that frighten those in hell and subject them to vastation, is evident from the following places: In Isaiah,

You will have joy of heart, as when one marches with a pipe to come to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel. Then Jehovah will cause His glorious voice 1 to be heard, and will cause His arm to see repose, in the indignation of [His] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, [in] scattering, and deluging, and hailstones. For by the voice of Jehovah Asshur will be dismayed. Isaiah 30:29-31.

Here 'the voice of Jehovah' stands for God's truth which enlightens and perfects those who are governed by good but frightens those under the influence of evil and subjects them to vastation. In Joel,

The earth quaked before Him, the sun and moon were darkened, and the stars withdrew their shining; and Jehovah uttered His voice before His army, His camp is exceedingly great; for that which executes His word is uncountable. For great is the day of Jehovah, and extremely frightening. Joel 3:16.

Here the meaning is similar.

[3] In the same prophet,

Jehovah will roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem will give forth His voice; and the heavens and the earth will be shaken. But Jehovah will be a shelter for His people, and a fortification for the children of Israel. Joel 3:16.

'The voice of Jehovah' likewise stands for God's truth. It is given forth 'from Jerusalem' because that city means the Lord's spiritual kingdom, inhabited by those who are moved by truth to be governed by good and moved by good to be guided by truth.

[4] In David,

Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice, hail, and coals of fire, so that He sent His arrows and scattered them, and many thunder-bolts, and threw them into confusion. Psalms 18:13-14.

'Giving forth voice, hail, and coals of fire' stands for the devastation of truth and good by means of falsities and evil desires. In the same author,

The clouds dropped water, the skies gave voice, also Your arrows went out, the voice of Your thunder into the earth; the lightnings lit up the earth. Psalms 77:16-18.

'A voice' stands for God's truth which enlightens those who belong to the Church.

[5] In the same author,

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters, the God of glory causes it to thunder, Jehovah is over great waters; the voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is majestic; the voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars, Jehovah breaks to pieces the cedars of Lebanon; the voice of Jehovah strikes as flames of fire; the voice of Jehovah causes the wilderness to shake; the voice of Jehovah causes the hinds to calve, and strips the forests bare. Psalms 29:3-11.

Here 'the voice of Jehovah' stands for God's truth and the power it has. Thus it also stands for the Word since this is God's truth.

[6] In John,

A mighty angel coming down called out with a loud voice; and when he called out, seven thunders uttered their voices. I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them. Revelation 10:3-4.

'Voices' stands for God's truth, 'thunders' for those who convey it, bringing it from heaven to earth. No one can fail to see that 'thunders and 'voices' mean things that are Divine, not thunders and crashes. And since they mean Divine things and are called Jehovah's voices it is evident that they are Divine Truth. This was why, when Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai and proclaimed Divine Truth, there were voices, lightnings, and thunders, Exodus 19:16; 20:18, and why He spoke out of the midst of the fire, Deuteronomy 4:11-12; 5:22-24.
