Jezekilj 7

Studie

   

1 Potom dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, ovako kaže Gospod Gospod za zemlju Izrailjevu: Kraj, dođe kraj na četiri strane zemlji.

3 Dođe ti kraj, i pustiću gnev svoj na te, i sudiću ti po putevima tvojim i obratiću na te sve gadove tvoje.

4 I oko moje neće te požaliti, niti ću se smilovati, nego ću puteve tvoje obratiti na te, i gadovi će tvoji biti usred tebe, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod.

5 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Zlo, jedno Zlo, evo ide.

6 Kraj dođe, kraj dođe, usta na te, evo dođe.

7 Dođe jutro tebi, stanovniče zemaljski, dođe vreme, približi se dan, kad će biti polom, a ne jeka gorska.

8 Sada ću odmah izliti jarost svoju na te, i navršiću gnev svoj na tebi, i sudiću ti po tvojim putevima, i obratiću na te sve gadove tvoje.

9 Neće žaliti oko moje, niti ću se smilovati, daću ti po putevima tvojim, i gadovi će tvoji biti usred tebe, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod, koji bije.

10 Evo dana, evo dođe, jutro nasta, procvate prut, ponositost napupi.

11 Nasilje naraste prut bezakonja, niko neće ostati od njih ni od mnoštva njihovog ni od buke njihove, niti će biti naricanja za njima.

12 Dođe vreme, prispe dan; ko kupuje neka se ne raduje, i ko prodaje neka ne žali, jer će doći gnev na sve ljudstvo njihovo.

13 Jer ko prodaje, neće opet doći do onog što proda, ako i ostane živ; jer utvara za sve mnoštvo njihovo neće se vratiti natrag, i niko se neće okrepiti bezakonjem svojim da sačuva život svoj.

14 Zatrubiše u trube, i spremiše sve; ali nema nikoga da izađe u boj, jer se gnev moj raspalio na sve ljudstvo njihovo.

15 Napolju mač, a unutra pomor i glad; ko bude u polju, poginuće od mača; a ko bude u gradu, njega će glad i pomor proždreti.

16 A koji ih uteku, izbaviće se i biće po gorama kao golubovi iz dolina, svi će uzdisati, svaki za svoje bezakonje.

17 Sve će ruke klonuti i sva će kolena postati kao voda.

18 I pripasaće oko sebe kostret, i drhat će ih popasti, i na svakom će licu biti stid, i sve će im glave biti ćelave.

19 Srebro će svoje pobacati po ulicama, i zlato će njihovo biti kao nečistota; Srebro njihovo i zlato njihovo neće ih moći izbaviti u dan gneva Gospodnjeg; neće nasititi duše svoje niti će napuniti trbuha svog, jer im je bezakonje njihovo spoticanje.

20 Jer slavni nakit svoj obratiše na oholost, i načiniše od njega likove gadova svojih, gnusobe svoje; zato učinih da im je nečistota.

21 I daću ga u ruke inostrancima da ga razgrabe, i bezbožnicima na zemlji da je plen, i oskvrniće ga.

22 I odvratiću lice svoje od njih, i oskvrniće svetinju moju, i ući će u nju lupeži i oskvrniće je.

23 Načini verige, jer je zemlja puna krvnog suda, i grad je pun nasilja.

24 Zato ću dovesti najgore između naroda da naslede kuće njihove, i ukinuću oholost silnih, i sveta mesta njihova oskvrniće se.

25 Ide pogibao; oni će tražiti mira, ali ga neće biti.

26 Nevolja za nevoljom dolaziće, i glas za glasom stizaće; i oni će tražiti utvaru od proroka; zakona će nestati u sveštenika i saveta u staraca.

27 Car će tužiti, i knezovi će se obući u žalost, i ruke narodu zemaljskom drhtaće; učiniću im po putevima njihovim i sudiću im prema sudovima njihovim; i poznaće da sam ja 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."
