Jezekilj 14

Studie

   

1 Potom dođoše k meni neki od starešina Izrailjevih i sedoše preda me.

2 I dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

3 Sine čovečji, ovi su ljudi stavili u srca svoja gadne bogove svoje, i metnuli su preda se o šta se spotiču na bezakonje svoje; traže li me doista?

4 Zato govori im i reci im: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ko je god od doma Izrailjevog stavio u srce svoje gadne bogove svoje i metnuo preda se o šta se spotiče na bezakonje svoje, pa dođe k proroku, ja Gospod odgovoriću mu kad dođe za mnoštvo gadnih bogova njegovih,

5 Da uhvatim dom Izrailjev za srce njihovo što su se odvratili od mene svi za gadnim bogovima svojim.

6 Zato reci domu Izrailjevom: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Obratite se i odstupite od gadnih bogova svojih, odvratite lice svoje od svih gadova svojih.

7 Jer ko bi god od doma Izrailjevog ili od inostranaca koji žive u Izrailju odstupio od mene, i stavio u srce svoje gadne bogove svoje, i metnuo preda se o šta će se spoticati na bezakonje svoje, pa bi došao k proroku da me upita preko njega, njemu ću odgovoriti ja sam Gospod sobom.

8 I okrenuću lice svoje prema tom čoveku, i učiniću od njega znak i priču, i istrebiću ga iz naroda svog, te ćete poznati da sam ja Gospod.

9 I ako bi se prorok prevario, te rekao što, ja Gospod prevarih onog proroka, i dignuću ruku svoju na nj, i istrebiću ga iz naroda svog Izrailja.

10 I poneće obojica svoje bezakonje: kako je bezakonje onog koji pita tako će biti i prorokovo bezakonje,

11 Da više dom Izrailjev ne odstupa od mene i da se više ne skvrne svakojakim prestupima svojim, nego da mi budu narod, i ja da im budem Bog, govori Gospod Gospod.

12 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

13 Sine čovečji, ako mi koja zemlja zgreši učinivši neveru, i ja dignem ruku svoju na nju i slomim joj potporu u hlebu, i pustim na nju glad i istrebim u njoj ljude i stoku,

14 Ako bi u njoj bila ova tri čoveka: Noje, Danilo i Jov, oni će pravdom svojom izbaviti duše svoje, govori Gospod Gospod.

15 Ako pustim ljute zveri u zemlju, te pomore ljude, i ona opusti da niko ne može prolaziti od zverja;

16 Ako bi u njoj bila ta tri čoveka, tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neće izbaviti sinove ni kćeri, nego će se sami izbaviti, a zemlja će opusteti.

17 Ili ako mač pustim na tu zemlju, i kažem: Maču, prođi tu zemlju, da istrebim u njoj ljude i stoku;

18 Ako bi ta tri čoveka bila u njoj, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod Gospod, neće izbaviti sinove ni kćeri, nego će se sami izbaviti.

19 Ili ako pustim pomor na zemlju i izlijem gnev svoj na nju da bi krv tekla da istrebim u njoj ljude i stoku;

20 Ako bi Noje, Danilo i Jov bili u njoj, tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, neće izbaviti sina ni kćeri, nego će svoje duše izbaviti pravdom svojom.

21 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: A kamo li kad pustim četiri ljuta zla svoja, mač i glad i zle zveri i pomor na Jerusalim, da istrebim u njemu ljude i stoku.

22 I opet, gle, nekoliko će ih ostati u njemu koji će se izbaviti, sinovi ili kćeri, oni će izaći k vama, i videćete put njihov i dela njihova, i utešićete se za zlo koje ću pustiti na Jerusalim, za sve što ću pustiti na nj.

23 I oni će vas utešiti kad vidite put njihov i dela njihova; i poznaćete da nisam bez uzroka učinio šta sam god učinio u njemu, govori Gospod Gospod.

939. The fact that seeing the Lord's face does not mean seeing His face, but knowing and acknowledging Him as He is in respect to His Divine attributes, of which there are many, and that people conjoined with Him by love know Him and in that way see His face, can be seen from the following passages:

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me... ...When you come to see the face of Jehovah... (Isaiah 1:11-12)

My heart said..., "Seek my face. Your face, Jehovah, I am seeking." (Psalms 27:8)

We will shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His face with confession. (Psalms 95:1-2)

My soul thirsts... for the living God. When shall I come to see the face of God? ...yet shall I confess to Him the salvation of His countenance. (Psalms 42:2, 5)

They shall not see My face empty-handed. (Exodus 23:15)

...to come... to placate the face of Jehovah. (Zechariah 8:21-22, cf. Malachi 1:9)

Make Your face shine upon Your servant. (Psalms 31:16)

Who will show us any good? Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, Jehovah. (Psalms 4:6)

They shall walk, O Jehovah, in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 89:15)

...O God, cause Your face to shine, that we may be saved! (Psalms 80:3, 7, 19)

God be merciful to us and bless us. May He cause His face to shine upon us. (Psalms 67:1)

Jehovah bless you and keep you; Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be merciful to you; Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

You hide them in the secret place of Your countenance... (Psalms 31:20)

You have set... our hidden secret in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 90:8)

(Jehovah) said (to Moses), "My countenance will go... (Moses) said..., "If Your countenance does not go..., do not bring us down from here." (Exodus 33:14-15)

The bread on the table in the Tabernacle was called [literally] "the bread of faces" (Exodus 25:30, Numbers 4:7).

[2] We are often told, too, that Jehovah hid His face or turned His face away, as in the following:

...for (their) wickedness I have hidden My face from (them). (Jeremiah 33:5, cf. Ezekiel 7:22)

Your sins have hidden (God's) face from you... (Isaiah 59:2)

The face of Jehovah... will no longer regard them. (Lamentations 4:16)

(Jehovah) will hide His face from them..., according as they have made their works evil. (Micah 3:4)

You hid Your face... (Psalms 30:7, cf. 44:24; 104:29)

I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them... I will surely hide My face... because of all the evil which they have done... (Deuteronomy 31:17-18)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 8:17; Ezekiel 39:23, 28-29; Deuteronomy 32:20.

[3] In an opposite sense, the face of Jehovah symbolizes anger and aversion, because an evil person turns away from the Lord, and when he turns away, it seems to him as though the Lord had turned away and was angry, as is clear from the following passages:

...I have set My face against this city for its evil... (Jeremiah 21:10, cf. 44:11)

I will set My face against that man and... devastate him... (Ezekiel 14:7-8)

I will set My face against them... and... fire shall devour them..., when I set My face against them. (Ezekiel 15:7)

...(he) who eats any blood, I will set My face against that soul... (Leviticus 17:10)

At the rebuke of Your countenance they perished. (Psalms 80:16)

The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil... (Psalms 34:16)

...I send an angel before you... Beware of his face..., for he will not endure your transgression. (Exodus 23:20-21)

Let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee from Your countenance. (Numbers 10:35)

(I saw one sitting on the throne) from whose face the earth and heaven fled away. (Revelation 20:11)

That no one can see the Lord as He is in Himself, as we said above, is apparent from the following:

(Jehovah said to Moses,) "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live." (Exodus 33:18-23)

That people nevertheless saw the Lord and lived, because He appeared by means of an angel, is apparent from Genesis 32:30, 1 Judges 13:22-23, 2 and elsewhere.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

2. Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God!" But his wife said to him, "If Jehovah had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time."
