Postanak 15

Studie

   

1 Posle ovih stvari dođe Avramu reč Gospodnja u utvari govoreći: Ne boj se, Avrame, ja sam ti štit, i plata je tvoja vrlo velika.

2 A Avram reče Gospode, Gospode, šta ćeš mi dati kad živim bez dece, a pa kome će ostati moja kuća to je Elijezer ovaj Damaštanin?

3 Još reče Avram: Eto meni nisi dao poroda, pa će sluga rođen u kući mojoj biti moj naslednik.

4 A gle, Gospod mu progovori: Neće taj biti naslednik tvoj, nego koji će izaći od tebe taj će ti biti naslednik.

5 Pa ga izvede napolje i reče mu: Pogledaj na nebo i prebroj zvezde, ako ih možeš prebrojati. I reče mu: Tako će ti biti seme tvoje.

6 I poverova Avram Bogu, a On mu primi to u pravdu.

7 I reče mu: Ja sam Gospod, koji te izvedoh iz Ura haldejskog da ti dam zemlju ovu da bude tvoja.

8 A on reče: Gospode, Gospode, po čemu ću poznati da će biti moja?

9 I reče mu: Prinesi mi junicu od tri godine i kozu od tri godine i ovna od tri godine i grlicu i golupče.

10 I on uze sve to, i raseče na pole, i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ali ne raseče ptice.

11 A ptice sletahu na te mrtve životinje; a Avram ih odgoniše.

12 A kad sunce beše na zalasku, uhvati Avrama tvrd san, i gle, strah i mrak velik obuze ga.

13 I Gospod reče Avramu: Znaj zacelo da će seme tvoje biti došljaci u zemlji tuđoj, pa će joj služiti, i ona će ih mučiti četiri stotine godina.

14 Ali ću suditi i narodu kome će služiti; a posle će oni izaći s velikim blagom.

15 A ti ćeš otići k ocima svojim u miru, i bićeš pogreben u dobroj starosti.

16 A oni će se u četvrtom kolenu vratiti ovamo; jer gresima amorejskim još nije kraj.

17 A kad se sunce smiri i kad se smrče, gle, pećse dimljaše, i plamen ognjeni prolažaše između onih delova.

18 Taj dan učini Gospod zavet s Avramom govoreći: Semenu tvom dadoh zemlju ovu od vode misirske do velike vode, vode Efrata,

19 Kenejsku, kenezejsku i kedmonejsku,

20 I hetejsku i ferezejsku i rafajsku,

21 I amorejsku i hananejsku i gergesejsku i jevusejsku.

1837. The sun was going down. That this signifies the time and the state before the consummation, is evident from the signification of “the sun.” In the internal sense “the sun” signifies the Lord, and thence it signifies the celestial things which are of love and charity, consequently love itself and charity (spoken of above, n. 30-38, and n. 1053). From this it is evident that the “going down of the sun” denotes the last time of the church, which is called the consummation, when there is no longer any charity. The Lord’s church is also compared to the times of the day; its first period to the rising of the sun, or to the dawn and the morning; its last to the setting of the sun, or to the evening and the shades then prevailing, for the two things are similarly circumstanced. The church is also compared to the times of the year; its first period to the spring, when all things are in bloom; that which is before the last to the autumn, when they begin to become inactive. It is even compared to the metals; its first period is called golden; its last, iron and clay; as in Daniel (2:31-33). From all this it is evident what is signified by “the going down of the sun,” namely, that it signifies the time and the state before the consummation, seeing that the sun had not yet set. In what follows, the state of the church when the sun has set is treated of, in that there was then thick darkness and the smoke of a furnace, and that a torch of fire passed between the pieces.
