Jezekilj 2

Studie

   

1 I reče mi: Sine čovečji, ustani na noge da govorim s tobom.

2 I uđe u me duh kad mi progovori, i postavi me na noge, i slušah Onog koji mi govoraše.

3 I reče mi: Sine čovečji, ja te šaljem k sinovima Izrailjevim, k narodima odmetničkim, koji se odmetnuše mene; oni i oci njihovi biše mi neverni do ovog dana.

4 K sinovima tvrdog obraza i upornog srca šaljem te ja, pa im reci: Tako veli Gospod;

5 I poslušali ili ne poslušali, jer su dom odmetnički, neka znaju da je prorok bio među njima.

6 I ti, sine čovečji, ne boj ih se niti se boj njihovih reči, što su ti uporni i kao trnje i živiš među skorpijama; ne boj se njihovih reči i ne plaši se od njih što su dom odmetnički.

7 Nego im kaži reči moje, poslušali ili ne poslušali, jer su odmetnici.

8 Ali ti, sine čovečji, slušaj šta ću ti kazati, ne budi nepokoran kao taj dom nepokorni; otvori usta, i pojedi šta ću ti dati.

9 I pogledah, a to ruka pružena k meni, i gle, u njoj savijena knjiga.

10 I razvi je preda mnom, i beše ispisana iznutra i spolja, i beše u njoj napisan plač i naricanje i jaoh.

Title: A Strange Love Letter

Topic: The Word

Summary: God is love, and the Bible is a divine communication to us, so in some sense it mst be a love letter. But that's a pretty strange love letter!

Nine Questions # 2

2. QUESTION 2.

Did the Lord have from Jehovah the Father a rational soul to which the Divine Esse was united, whence He became truly God and truly Man?

ANSWER

The Lord from eternity, or Jehovah, was Divine Love and Divine Wisdom, and He then had a Divine Celestial and a Divine Spiritual; but before He assumed the Human He did not have a Divine Natural; and because the rational can be attributed solely to the celestial and spiritual natural, it follows that Jehovah, the Lord, did also put on the Divine Rational by assuming the Human. He had a Divine Rational before assuming the Human, but this was by means of an influx into the angelic heaven, and whenever He manifested Himself in the world it was by means of an angel filled with His Divinity. For the purely Divine Essence, which, as has been stated, was purely Divine Celestial and Divine Spiritual, transcends both the angelic and the human rational, but existed by means of influx. Its nature can be inferred from what is said below in connection with the sixth question. Luther and Melancthon teach that in Christ Man is God and God is Man; and this is in accordance with Holy Scripture. See True Christian Religion 137. But Calvin denied this, affirming merely that only Christ is God and Man.
