Agej 2

Studie

   

1 Sedmog meseca dvadeset prvog dana dođe reč Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreći:

2 Kaži sada Zorovavelju sinu Salatilovom, upravitelju judejskom, i Isusu sinu Josedekovom, poglavaru svešteničkom, i ostatku narodnom govoreći:

3 Ko je među vama ostao koji je video ovaj dom u prvoj slavi njegovoj? A kakav vi sada vidite? Nije li prema onom kao ništa u vašim očima?

4 Nego sada budi hrabar, Zorovavelju, govori Gospod, i budi hrabar Isuse sine Josedekov, poglavaru sveštenički, i budi hrabar sav narode zemaljski, govori Gospod, i radite; jer sam ja s vama, govori Gospod nad vojskama.

5 Po reči kojom sam učinio zavet s vama kad iziđoste iz Misira, duh će moj stajati među vama, ne bojte se.

6 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Još jednom, do malo, i ja ću potresti nebesa i zemlju i more i suvu zemlju;

7 I potrešću sve narode, i doći će izabrani iz svih naroda, i napuniću ovaj dom slave, veli Gospod nad vojskama.

8 Moje je srebro i moje je zlato, govori Gospod nad vojskama.

9 Slava će ovog doma poslednjeg biti veća nego onog prvog, veli Gospod nad vojskama; i postaviću mir na ovom mestu, govori Gospod nad vojskama.

10 Dvadeset četvrtog dana devetog meseca druge godine Darijeve dođe reč Gospodnja preko Ageja proroka govoreći:

11 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Upitaj sveštenike za zakon, i reci:

12 Gle, ako bi ko nosio sveto meso u skutu od haljine svoje, ili bi se skutom svojim dotakao hleba ili variva ili vina ili ulja ili kakvog god jela, bi li se osvetio? A sveštenici odgovoriše i rekoše: Ne.

13 Po tom reče Agej: Ako bi se ko nečist od mrtvaca dotakao čega toga, hoće li biti nečisto? A sveštenici odgovoriše i rekoše: Biće nečisto.

14 Tada Agej odgovori i reče: Takav je taj narod i takvi su ti ljudi preda mnom, govori Gospod, i takvo je sve delo ruku njihovih, i šta god prinose tamo, nečisto je.

15 A sada uzmite na um, od ovog dana nazad, pre nego se položi kamen na kamen u crkvi Gospodnjoj,

16 Pre toga kad ko dođe ka gomili od dvadeset mera, beše deset; kad dođe ka kaci da dobije pedeset vedara iz kace, beše dvadeset;

17 Bih vas sušom i medljikom i gradom, svako delo ruku vaših; ali se vi ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.

18 Uzmite na um, od toga dana nazad, od dana dvadeset četvrtog meseca devetog, od dana kad se osnova crkva Gospodnja, uzmite na um.

19 Ima li jošte semena u žitnici? Ni vinova loza ni smokva ni šipak ni maslina još ne rodi; od ovog ću dana blagosloviti.

20 Po tom dođe reč Gospodnja drugi put Ageju dvadeset četvrtog dana devetog meseca govoreći:

21 Kaži Zorovavelju upravitelju judejskom, i reci: Ja ću potresti nebo i zemlju;

22 I prevaliću presto carstvima, i satrću silu carstvima narodnim, prevaliću kola i one koji sede na njima, i popadaće konji i konjanici, svaki od mača brata svog.

23 U to vreme, govori Gospod nad vojskama, uzeću tebe, Zorovavelju, sine Salatilov, slugo moj, govori Gospod, i postaviću te kao pečat; jer sam te izabrao, govori Gospod nad vojskama.

Apocalypse Revealed # 306

306. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth. This symbolizes the abolition of charity, of spiritual security, and of inner rest.

Peace symbolizes everything whatever that comes from the Lord, and so everything pertaining to heaven and the church, and the blessings of life in them. In the highest or inmost sense, these are blessings of peace.

It follows from this that peace means charity, spiritual security, and inner rest, for when a person abides in the Lord, he is at peace with his neighbor, which is a state of charity, and he has protection from hell, which is spiritual security. And when he is at peace with his neighbor and has protection from hell, he enjoys an inner rest from evils and falsities.

Accordingly, since all these blessings come from the Lord, it can be seen what is symbolically meant by peace in general and in particular in the following passages:

...unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; the government will be upon His shoulder. His name will be called... God, Hero, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end... (Isaiah 9:6-7)

(Jesus said,) "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you." (John 14:27)

(Jesus said,) "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace." (John 16:33)

In His days the righteous shall flourish, and much peace... (Psalms 72:3, 7)

Then I will make a covenant of peace... (Ezekiel 34:25, 27; 37:25-26)

How delightful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace..., who says to Zion, "Your King reigns!" (Isaiah 52:7)

Jehovah bless you and... lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

Jehovah will bless His people with peace. (Psalms 29:11)

(Jehovah) will redeem my soul in peace... (Psalms 55:18)

The work of (Jehovah) is peace, [and] the labor of righteousness, rest and security forever, that (they) may dwell in a tabernacle of peace, in secure tents, and in tranquil places of rest. (Isaiah 32:17-18)

(Jesus said to the seventy that He sent out,) "Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this house.' And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it." (Luke 10:5-6, cf. Matthew 10:12-14)

The wretched shall possess the earth, and shall delight themselves in an abundance of peace... ...observe the upright man, for the final state for that man is peace. (Psalms 37:11, 37)

(Zacharias, prophesying, said,) ."..the Dayspring from on high has appeared..., to guide our feet into the way of peace." (Luke 1:78-79)

Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. (Psalms 34:14)

Much peace have those who love Your law... (Psalms 119:165)

"Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river...." "There is no peace," says Jehovah, "for the impious." (Isaiah 48:18, 22)

(Jehovah) will speak peace to His people... Righteousness and peace will kiss. (Psalms 85:8, 10)

There is no peace in my bones because of my sin. (Psalms 38:3)

He has filled me with bitterness... ...moved (is) my soul far from peace; I have forgotten goodness. (Lamentations 3:15, 17)

And so on in many other places, from which it can be seen that the aforesaid blessings are meant by peace. Fix your mind on spiritual peace, and you will clearly see.

So likewise in the following places: Isaiah 26:12; 53:5; 54:10, 13; Jeremiah 33:6, 9; Haggai 2:9; Zechariah 8:16, 19; Psalms 4:6-8; 120:6-7; 122:6-9; 128:5-6; 147:14.

To be shown that peace is what inmostly affects every good with bliss, see the book Heaven and Hell, nos. 284-290.
