Osija 13

Studie

   

1 Kad Jefrem govoraše, beše strah; beše se uzvisio u Izrailju; ali se ogreši o Vala, te umre.

2 I sada jednako greše i grade sebi lijući od srebra svog po razumu svom likove, koji su svi delo umetničko, a oni govore za njih: Ljudi koji prinose žrtve neka celuju teoce.

3 Zato će biti kao oblak jutarnji i kao rosa koja u zoru padne, pa je nestane, kao pleva, koju odnosi vetar s gumna, i kao dim iz dimnjaka.

4 A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje misirske, i Boga osim mene nisi poznao, i osim mene nema ko bi spasao.

5 Ja te poznah u pustinji, u zemlji zasušenoj.

6 Imajući dobru pašu behu siti; ali čim se nasitiše, ponese se srce njihovo, zato me zaboraviše.

7 Zato ću im biti kao lav, kao ris vrebaću ih na putu.

8 Srešću ih kao medvedica kojoj uzmu medvediće, i rastrgaću im sve srce njihovo i izješću ih onde kao lav; zverje poljsko raskinuće ih.

9 Propao si, Izrailju; ali ti je pomoću meni.

10 Gde ti je car? Gde je? Neka te sačuva u svim gradovima tvojim; gde li su sudije tvoje, za koje si govorio: Daj mi cara i knezove?

11 Dadoh ti cara u gnevu svom, i uzeh ga u jarosti svojoj.

12 Svezano je bezakonje Jefremovo, ostavljen je greh njegov.

13 Bolovi kao u porodilje spopašće ga, sin je nerazuman, jer ne bi toliko vremena ostao u utrobi.

14 Od groba ću ih izbaviti, od smrti ću ih sačuvati; gde je, smrti, pomor tvoj, gde je, grobe, pogibao tvoja? Kajanje će biti sakriveno od očiju mojih.

15 Rodan će biti među braćom svojom; ali će doći istočni vetar, vetar Gospodnji, koji ide od pustinje, i usahnuće mu izvor, i studenac će mu zasušiti; on će odneti blago od svih dragih zaklada.

16 Samarija će opusteti, jer se odmetnu od Boga svog; oni će pasti od mača, deca će se njihova razmrskati i trudne žene njihove rasporiti.

97. 4. Make this to be heard, utter it even to the end of the earth: Jehovah hath redeemed His servant Jacob. Then they will not thirst; He will lead them in the waste places; He will make the waters to flow out from the rock for them; then He will cleave the rock, that the waters may flow out (Isaiah 48:20-21).

Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One (Isaiah 49:7).

That all flesh may know that I Jehovah am thy Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 49:26).

Jehovah said, Is My hand shortened at all that there is no redemption? or is there no power in Me to deliver? I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering (Isaiah 50:2-3). Redemption is to snatch the good from the evil, and to separate the evil from the good, otherwise the evil would destroy the good.

Art not Thou He who hath made the depth of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over? So shall the redeemed of Jehovah return, and they shall come with singing unto Zion, so that the joy of eternity shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away (Isaiah 51:10-11). Redemption is represented by the crossing of the Egyptians through the Red Sea against the children of Israel.

Ye have sold yourselves for naught; so that ye shall not be redeemed by silver (Isaiah 52:3).

Sound ye forth, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah hath consoled His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem (Isaiah 52:9).

Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called (Isaiah 54:5).

With the mercy of eternity will I have mercy on thee, said thy Redeemer, Jehovah (Isaiah 54:8).

Then He shall come the Redeemer of Zion (Isaiah 59:20). The combat of the Lord with the hells is treated of (verses 16-19).

That thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Isaiah 60:16).

They shall call them the people of holiness, the redeemed of Jehovah (Isaiah 62:12). Concerning the New Jerusalem or Church, throughout the chapter.

The combat of the Lord with the hells, and thus the Last Judgment upon the evil who had vastated the church, and thus redemption, is described in Isaiah (63:1-10). Wherefore it is there said, For the day of vengeance is in Mine heart, and the year of My redeemed is come (verse 4). And concerning the redeemed, Surely, they are My people so that He became a Savior for them. Also, The angel of the faces of Jehovah hath freed them, for the sake of His love He hath redeemed them, and carried them all the days of eternity (verses 8-9). Here it is clear that redemption is to subjugate the hells, by fighting with them, and thus the faithful are to be saved, from whom are formed the new heaven and the New Church.

Thou art our Father, Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us; Thou, O Jehovah, art our Father, our Redeemer; from everlasting is Thy name (Isaiah 63:16).
