Izlazak 19

Studie

   

1 Prvog dana trećeg meseca, pošto izađoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Misira, tog dana dođoše u pustinju Sinajsku.

2 Krenuvši se iz Rafidina dođoše u pustinju Sinajsku, i stadoše u logor u pustinji, a logor načiniše Izrailjci onde pod gorom.

3 I Mojsije izađe na goru k Bogu; i povika mu Gospod s gore govoreći: Ovako kaži domu Jakovljevom, i reci sinovima Izrailjevim:

4 Videli ste šta sam učinio Misircima i kako sam vas kao na krilima orlovim nosio i doveo vas k sebi.

5 A sada ako dobro uzaslušate glas moj i uščuvate zavet moj, bićete moje blago mimo sve narode, premda je moja sva zemlja.

6 I bićete mi carstvo svešteničko i narod svet. To su reči koje ćeš kazati sinovima Izrailjevim.

7 A Mojsije dođe i sazva starešine narodne; i kaza im sve ove reči koje mu Gospod zapovedi.

8 A sav narod odgovori složno i reče: Šta je god kazao Gospod činićemo. I Mojsije javi Gospodu reči narodne.

9 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Evo, ja ću doći k tebi u gustom oblaku, da narod čuje kad ti stanem govoriti i da ti veruje do veka. Jer Mojsije beše javio Gospodu reči narodne.

10 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Idi k narodu, i osveštaj ih danas i sutra, i neka operu haljine svoje;

11 I neka budu gotovi za treći dan, jer će u treći dan sići Gospod na goru Sinajsku pred svim narodom.

12 A postavićeš narodu među unaokolo, i reći ćeš: Čuvajte se da ne stupite na goru i da se ne dotaknete kraja njenog; šta se god dotakne gore, poginuće;

13 Toga da se niko ne dotakne rukom, nego kamenjem da se zaspe ili da se ustreli, bilo živinče ili čovek, da ne ostane u životu. Kad rog zatrubi otežući onda neka pođu na goru.

14 I Mojsije siđe s gore k narodu; i osvešta narod, i opraše haljine svoje.

15 I reče narodu: Budite gotovi za treći dan, i ne ležite sa ženama.

16 A treći dan kad bi ujutru, gromovi zagrmeše i munje zasevaše, i posta gust oblak na gori, i zatrubi truba veoma jako, da zadrhta sav narod koji beše u logoru.

17 Tada Mojsije izvede narod iz logora pred Boga, i stadoše ispod gore.

18 A gora se Sinajska sva dimljaše, jer siđe na nju Gospod u ognju; i dim se iz nje podizaše kao dim iz peći, i sva se gora trešaše veoma.

19 I truba sve jače trubljaše, i Mojsije govoraše a Bog mu odgovaraše glasom.

20 I Gospod sišavši na goru Sinajsku, na vrh gore, pozva Mojsija na vrh gore; i izađe Mojsije.

21 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Siđi, opomeni narod da ne prestupe međe da vide Gospoda, da ne bi izginuli od mene.

22 I sami sveštenici, koji pristupaju ka Gospodu, neka se osveštaju, da ih ne bi pobio Gospod.

23 A Mojsije reče Gospodu: Neće moći narod izaći na goru Sinajsku, jer si nas Ti opomenuo rekavši: Načini među gori i osveštaj je.

24 A Gospod mu reče: Idi, siđi, pa onda dođi ti i Aron s tobom; a sveštenici i narod neka ne prestupe međe da se popnu ka Gospodu, da ih ne bi pobio.

25 I siđe Mojsije k narodu, i kaza im.

God

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.

Apocalypse Revealed # 236

236. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. (4:5) This symbolizes enlightenment, perception, and instruction from the Lord.

Because of the flash of light that strikes the eyes, lightnings symbolize enlightenment, and because of the crash that strikes the ears, thunderings symbolize perception. And since these two together symbolize enlightenment and perception, voices then symbolize instruction.

These phenomena were seen to proceed from the throne because they emanated from the Son of Man or from the Lord in relation to the Word, and all enlightenment, perception and instruction comes from the Lord by means of the Word.

Lightnings, thunderings and voices have similar symbolic meanings elsewhere in the Word, as in the following places:

You have with Your arm redeemed Your people...; the skies sent out a voice... The voice of Your thunder was into the world; the lightnings lit up the world... (Psalms 77:15, 17-18)

(Jehovah's) lightnings light the world... (Psalms 97:4)

In distress you called, and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder... (Psalms 81:7)

I heard... the voice of a great multitude..., as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty has taken the kingdom. (Revelation 19:6)

[2] Because lightnings, thunderings and voices symbolize enlightenment, perception and instruction, therefore when Jehovah descended on Mount Sinai and promulgated the Law, "there were thunderings and lightnings" (Exodus 19:16). Moreover, when a voice issued from heaven to the Lord, it sounded like thunder (John 12:28-29). And because James and John represented charity and its works, and from these spring every perception of truth and good, the Lord called them "Boanerges, that is, 'Sons of Thunder'" (Mark 3:17).

It is apparent from this that lightnings, thunderings and voices have similar symbolic meanings in the following places in the book of Revelation:

I heard one of the four living creatures... with a voice like thunder... (Revelation 6:1)

I heard a voice from heaven... like the voice of loud thunder. (Revelation 14:2)

(When) the angel... threw (the censer) to the earth..., there were thunderings, voices, and lightnings... (Revelation 8:5)

When (the angel) cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. (Revelation 10:3-4)

(When) the temple of God was opened in heaven... there were lightnings, voices, and thunderings... (Revelation 11:19)

So likewise elsewhere.
