Izlazak 20

Studie

   

1 Tada reče Bog sve ove reči govoreći:

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

3 Nemoj imati drugih bogova uza me.

4 Ne gradi sebi lik rezani niti kakvu sliku od onog što je gore na nebu, ili dole na zemlji, ili u vodi, ispod zemlje.

5 Nemoj im se klanjati niti im služiti, jer sam ja Gospod Bog tvoj, Bog revnitelj, koji pohodim grehe otačke na sinovima do trećeg i do četvrtog koljena, onih koji mrze na mene;

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

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

8 Sećaj se dana od odmora da ga svetkuješ.

9 Šest dana radi, i svršuj sve poslove svoje.

10 A sedmi je dan odmor Gospodu Bogu tvom; tada nemoj raditi nijedan posao, ni ti, ni sin tvoj, ni kći tvoja, ni sluga tvoj, ni sluškinja tvoja, ni živinče tvoje, ni stranac koji je među vratima tvojim.

11 Jer je za šest dana stvorio Gospod nebo i zemlju, more i šta je god u njima; a u sedmi dan počinu; zato je blagoslovio Gospod dan od odmora i posvetio ga.

12 Poštuj oca svog i mater svoju, da ti se produže dani na zemlji, koju ti da Gospod Bog tvoj.

13 Ne ubij.

14 Ne čini preljube.

15 Ne kradi.

16 Ne svedoči lažno na bližnjeg svog.

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

18 I sav narod vide grom i munju i trubu gde trubi i goru gde se dimi; i narod videvši to uzmače se i stade izdaleka,

19 I rekoše Mojsiju: Govori nam ti, i slušaćemo; a neka nam ne Govori Bog, da ne pomremo.

20 A Mojsije reče narodu: Ne bojte se, jer Bog dođe da vas iskuša i da vam pred očima bude strah Njegov da ne biste grešili.

21 I narod stajaše izdaleka, a Mojsije pristupi k mraku u kome beše Bog.

22 I Gospod reče Mojsiju: Ovako kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: videli ste gde vam s neba govorih.

23 Ne gradite uza me bogove srebrne, ni bogove zlatne ne gradite sebi.

24 Oltar od zemlje načini mi, na kome ćeš mi prinositi žrtve svoje paljenice i žrtve svoje zahvalne, sitnu i krupnu stoku svoju. Na kome god mestu zapovedim da se spominje ime moje, doći ću k tebi i blagosloviću te.

25 Ako li mi načiniš oltar od kamena, nemoj načiniti od tesanog kamena; jer ako povučeš po njemu gvožđem, oskvrnićeš ga.

26 Nemoj uz basamake ići k oltaru mom, da se ne bi otkrila golotinja tvoja kod njega.

Apocalypse Revealed # 661

661. Standing beside the sea of glass, having harps of God. This symbolizes the Christian heaven at the boundaries [of the spiritual world], and the faith accompanying charity in the people there.

Since the sea of glass symbolizes a gathering of people who have religion and worship indeed, but lack any goodness of life (no. 659), therefore those whom John saw standing beside that sea symbolize the Christian heaven at its boundaries, consisting of people who have religion and worship and possess goodness of life, because they had the victory over the beast and over its image.

A higher Christian heaven was the subject of the preceding chapter. Those of whom that heaven was formed are meant by the one hundred and forty-four thousand whom John saw standing with the Lamb on Mount Zion, as explained in nos. 612-625. Their harps symbolize a confession of the Lord in consequence of spiritual truths (nos. 276, 616). Spiritual truths are those of a faith springing from charity.

[2] John's seeing the people with harps and hearing them sing a song, as we are told next, was a representational depiction of a confession stemming from a faith accompanying charity. The affections in the thoughts of angels in heaven and the consequent intonations in their speech are heard in various ways in the spiritual world below, either as the sound of water, or as the sound of thunder, as in chapter 14:2 above. Or it may be heard as the sound of trumpets, as in chapter 4:1 above. Or, as in the present case, as the sound of harps, as also in chapter 5:8; 14:2. But still, it is not the sound of water, nor the rumbling of thunder, nor the sounding of a trumpet or harp; indeed, it is not the sound of singing. Rather it is the speech of angels and their confessions in accordance with their affections and consequent thoughts that are thus heard below, from which one may perceive the character of their love and wisdom.

The ways angels' speech is heard is due to the correspondence of affection with sound and of thought with speech.

11 Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, turning aside, that they should not obey your voice: therefore the curse and the oath written in the law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us; for we have sinned against him.
