Jezekilj 29

Studie

   

1 Godine desete, desetog meseca, dvanaestog dana, dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, okreni lice svoje prema Faraonu caru misirskom, i prorokuj protiv njega i protiv svega Misira.

3 Govori i reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo me na te, Faraone care misirski, zmaju veliki što ležiš usred reka svojih, koji reče: Moja je reka; ja sam je načinio sebi.

4 Zato ću ti metnuti u čeljusti udicu, i učiniću da se ribe u rekama tvojim nahvataju na krljušti tvoje; i izvući ću te iz reka tvojih i sve ribe iz reka tvojih nahvatane na krljušti tvoje.

5 I ostaviću u pustinji tebe i sve ribe iz tvojih reka, i pašćeš na zemlju i nećeš se pokupiti ni sabrati, zverima zemaljskim i pticama nebeskim daću te da te jedu.

6 I svi će stanovnici misirski poznati da sam ja Gospod; jer su štap od trske domu Izrailjevom.

7 Kad te uhvatiše u ruku, ti se slomi i raseče im sve rame; a kad se nasloniše na te, ti se prebi i probode im sva bedra.

8 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Evo, ja ću pustiti na te mač, i istrebiću iz tebe ljude i stoku.

9 I zemlja će se misirska opustošiti i biti pusta, i poznaće se da sam ja Gospod, jer reče: Moja je reka, i ja sam je načinio.

10 Zato evo me na tebe i na reke tvoje, i obratiću zemlju misirsku u pustoš i samu pustinju, od kule sinske do međe etiopske.

11 Neće prelaziti preko nje nogom svojom čovek, niti će živinče nogom svojom prelaziti preko nje, i neće se živeti u njoj četrdeset godina.

12 I učiniću od zemlje misirske pustoš među zemljama opustošenim, i gradovi će njeni među pustim gradovima biti pustoš četrdeset godina, i rasejaću Misirce među narode i razasuću ih po zemljama.

13 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Posle četrdeset godina skupiću Misirce iz naroda u koje budu rasejani.

14 I povratiću roblje misirsko, i dovešću ih opet u zemlju Patros, na postojbinu njihovu, i onde će biti malo carstvo.

15 Malo će biti mimo ostalih carstava, niti će se više uzdignuti nad narode, jer ću ih smanjiti da ne vladaju narodima.

16 I neće više biti domu Izrailjevom uzdanica da napominje bezakonje kad bi gledali za njima; i poznaće da sam ja Gospod Gospod.

17 A dvadeset sedme godine, prvog meseca, prvog dana, dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

18 Sine čovečji, Navuhodonosor car vavilonski zadade vojsci svojoj tešku službu protiv Tira; svaka glava oćelavi i svako se rame odre, a plate ne bi ni njemu ni vojsci njegovoj od Tira za službu kojom služiše protiv njega.

19 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Evo ja dajem Navuhodonosoru caru vavilonskom zemlju misirsku, i on će odvesti narod i odneti plen i pograbiti grabež, i to će biti plata njegovoj vojsci.

20 Za trud kojim se trudio oko toga dadoh mu zemlju misirsku, jer se za me trudiše, govori Gospod Gospod.

21 U onaj ću dan učiniti da naraste rog domu Izrailjevom, i tebi ću otvoriti usta među njima, i znaće da sam ja Gospod.

Doctrine of the Lord # 27

27. The Lord is called the Son of man when the subject is redemption, salvation, reformation and regeneration. This is clear from the following:

...the Son of man (came) to give His life a redemption for many. (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45)

...the Son of man has come to save..., (and) not...to destroy.... (Matthew 18:11, Luke 9:56)

...the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)

(The Son of man came) that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:17)

He who sows the good seed is the Son of man. (Matthew 13:37)

The subject there is redemption and salvation, because these are accomplished by the Lord through the Word, and the Lord therefore calls Himself the Son of man.

The Lord says that “the Son of man has power...to forgive sins” (Mark 2:10, Luke 5:24), that is, to save from them. Also, that He is Lord of the Sabbath, because He is the Son of man (Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, Luke 6:5), since He is the Word that He teaches then. Moreover, He says in John:

Labor not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give you.... (John 6:27)

Food means all the truth and goodness of doctrine drawn from the Word, thus from the Lord.

This, too, is meant by the manna and bread referred to there that descended from heaven, and by the following declaration as well in the same chapter:

...unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. (John 6:53)

Flesh, or bread, is the goodness of love gained from the Word, while blood, or wine, is the goodness of faith gained from the Word, both originating from the Lord.

[2] The Son of man has the same symbolism in other places where the Son of man is mentioned. So, for example, in the following:

Foxes have holes and birds...have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head. (Matthew 8:20, Luke 9:58)

This means that the Word would have no place among the Jews, as the Lord also says in John 8:37. Nor would they have it abiding among them, because they did not acknowledge Him (John 5:38).

The Son of man means the Lord in relation to the Word as well in the book of Revelation:

(I saw) in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a long robe and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle. (Revelation 1:13ff.)

Various things in that book represent the Lord as the embodiment of the Word, for which reason He is called the Son of man.

In Psalms:

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, upon the Son of man whom You made strong for Yourself. Then we will not turn back from You; revive us.... (Psalms 80:17-18)

The man of the right hand here as well is the Lord in relation to the Word, like the Son of man. He is called the man of the right hand because the Lord has power from Divine truth, which is also what the Word is, and He had Divine power when He fulfilled the whole of the Word. That is why He also said that people would see the Son of Man sitting at the right of the Father with power (Mark 14:62).
