Izlazak 30

Studie

   

1 Još načini oltar kadioni, od drveta sitima načini ga.

2 Dužina neka mu bude lakat, i širina lakat, četvorouglast da bude, i dva lakta visok; iz njega neka mu izlaze rogovi.

3 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, ozgo sa strana unaokolo, i rogove njegove; i načini mu venac zlatan unaokolo.

4 I načini mu po dva biočuga zlatna ispod venca na dva ugla njegova s obe strane, i kroz njih ćeš provući poluge da se može nositi.

5 A poluge načini od drveta sitima, i okuj ih u zlato.

6 I metni ga pred zaves koji visi pred kovčegom od svedočanstva prema zaklopcu koji je nad svedočanstvom, gde ću se s tobom sastajati.

7 I neka kadi na njemu Aron kadom mirisnim; svako jutro neka kadi kad spremi žiške.

8 I kad zapali Aron žiške uveče, neka kadi; neka bude kad svagdašnji pred Gospodom od kolena do kolena vašeg.

9 Ne prinosite na njemu kad tuđi niti žrtvu paljenicu niti prinos; ni naliv ne lijte na njemu.

10 Samo očišćenje neka čini nad rogovima njegovim Aron jednom u godini; krvlju od žrtve za greh u dan očišćenja jednom u godini činiće očišćenja na njemu od koljena do koljena vašeg; jer je to svetinja nad svetinjama Gospodu.

11 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

12 Kad staneš brojati sinove Izrailjeve, između onih koji idu u broj svaki neka dade otkup za život svoj Gospodu, kad ih staneš brojati, da ne bi došlo na njih kakvo zlo kad ih staneš brojati.

13 A neka da svaki koji ide u broj pola sikla, po siklu svetom (a taj je sikal dvadeset novčića); pola sikla biće prilog Gospodu.

14 Ko god ide u boj, od dvadeset godina i više, neka da prilog Gospodu.

15 Bogati da ne da više a siromah da ne da manje od po sikla, kad daju prilog Gospodu na očišćenje duša vaših.

16 I uzevši novce za očišćenje od sinova Izrailjevih ostavi ih za potrebu u šatoru od sastanka, i biće sinovima Izrailjevim spomen pred Gospodom za očišćenje duša vaših.

17 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

18 Načini i umivaonicu od bronze i podnožje joj od bronze za umivanje; i metni je između šatora od sastanka i oltara, i nalij u nju vode.

19 Da iz nje pere Aron i sinovi njegovi ruke svoje i noge svoje.

20 Kad idu u šator od sastanka, neka se umivaju vodom, da ne izginu, ili kad pristupaju k oltaru da služe i da pale žrtvu ognjenu Gospodu.

21 Tada neka peru ruke svoje i noge svoje da ne izginu. To neka im bude uredba večna Aronu i semenu njegovom od kolena do kolena.

22 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

23 Uzmi mirisa najboljih: smirne najčistije pet stotina sikala i cimeta mirisavog pola toliko, dvesta pedeset, i iđirota takođe dvesta pedeset,

24 I kasije pet stotina merom svetom, i ulja maslinovog jedan in.

25 I od toga načini ulje za sveto pomazanje, ulje najbolje veštinom apotekarskom; to da bude ulje svetog pomazanja.

26 I njim pomaži šator od sastanka i kovčeg od svedočanstva,

27 I sto i sve sprave njegove, i svećnjak i sprave njegove, i oltar kadioni,

28 I oltar na kome se prinosi žrtva paljenica, i sve sprave njegove, i umivaonicu i podnožje njeno.

29 Tako ćeš ih osvetiti, te će biti svetinja nad svetinjom, i šta ih se god dotakne biće sveto.

30 Pomaži i Arona i sinove njegove, i osvetićeš ih da mi budu sveštenici.

31 A sinovima Izrailjevim kaži i reci: Ovo neka mi bude ulje svetog pomazanja od kolena do kolena vašeg.

32 Telo čovečje neka se ne maže njim, niti pravite takvo ulje kakvo je ono; sveto je, neka vam bude sveto.

33 Ako li bi ko načinio tako ulje ili namazao njim drugog, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

34 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Uzmi mirisa, stakte, oniha i halvana mirisavog, i tamjana čistog, koliko jednog toliko drugog.

35 I od toga načini kad, sastavljen veštinom apotekarskom, čist i svet.

36 I istucavši ga nasitno, metaćeš ga pred svedočanstvom u šatoru od sastanka, gde ću se sastajati s tobom; to neka vam bude svetinja nad svetinjama.

37 A takav kad kakav načiniš nemojte sebi praviti; to neka ti je svetinja za Gospoda.

38 Ako li bi ko načinio takav da ga miriše, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

Apocalypse Revealed # 657

657. Seven angels having the seven last plagues. This symbolizes the evils and falsities that exist in the church in its last state exposed in their entirety by the Lord.

Seven angels symbolize the whole of heaven. However, because heaven is heaven owing not to the angels' own inherent qualities, but to the Lord, therefore the seven angels symbolize the Lord. Moreover, only the Lord can expose the evils and falsities that are present in the church. That angels symbolize heaven, and in the highest sense the Lord, may be seen in nos. 5, 258, 344, 465, 644, 647, 648 above.

Plagues symbolize evils and falsities - evils that are matters of love, and falsities that are matters of faith. For these are what are described in the following chapter, symbolized by the foul and noxious sore; by the blood as though of someone dead, causing every living creature to die; by the blood into which the waters of the rivers and springs were turned; by the heat of the fire that scorched people; by the unclean spirits looking like frogs, which were demons; and by the great hail.

The evils and falsities symbolized by all of these are the plagues here. Last plagues symbolize evils and falsities in the church's last state. Seven means, symbolically, all (nos. 10, 390). However, because the evils symbolized by the plagues in the following chapter are not all evils in particular, but all evils in general, seven here symbolically means all universally; for a universal entity embraces all of its constituents in particular.

It is apparent from this that John's seeing seven angels having the seven last plagues means symbolically that the evils and falsities that exist in the church and their character in its last state were exposed in their entirety by the Lord.

[2] That plagues symbolize spiritual plagues, which afflict people with respect to their souls and destroy them, and that these plagues or afflictions are evils and falsities, can be seen from the following passages:

From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness..., but a fresh wound not lanced; neither has it been bound up or softened... (Isaiah 1:6)

(Jehovah) is striking the peoples wrathfully with an incurable plague... (Isaiah 14:6)

(Jehovah,) remove Your plague from me; I am consumed by the blow of Your hand. (Psalms 39:10)

Your fracture is beyond hope...; for I have struck you with the affliction of an enemy... for the multitude of your iniquities; your sins have become many... But I will... heal you of your afflictions... (Jeremiah 30:12, 14, 17)

If you do not carefully keep all the words of (the Law)..., Jehovah will bring upon you... extraordinary plagues - great and prolonged plagues - (and) every plague... which is not written in this book of the Law... until you are destroyed. (Deuteronomy 28:58-59, 61)

No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your tent. (Psalms 91:10)

Edom shall become a desolation. Everyone who goes by... will hiss at all its plagues. (Jeremiah 49:17)

...she shall be a desolation. Everyone who passes by Babylon shall be dumbfounded, and hiss over all her plagues. (Jeremiah 50:13)

...plagues will come (upon Babylon) in one day... (Revelation 18:8)

(The two witnesses will) strike the earth with every plague... (Revelation 11:6)

The plagues in Egypt, which were in part like the plagues described in the following chapter, symbolized nothing else but evils and falsities. You may find the plagues in Egypt enumerated in no. 503 1 above. They are also called plagues in Exodus 9:14; 11:1.

It is apparent from this that plagues and afflictions mean, symbolically, nothing other than spiritual plagues and afflictions, which afflict people with respect to their souls and destroy them. So also in Isaiah 30:26; Zechariah 14:12, 15; Psalms 38:5, 11; Revelation 9:20; 16:21; Exodus 12:13; 30:12; Numbers 11:33; Luke 7:21; and elsewhere.
