Jeremija 16

Studie

   

1 Potom dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Nemoj se ženiti, i da nemaš sinove ni kćeri na tom mestu.

3 Jer ovako govori Gospod za sinove i kćeri što se rode na tom mestu i za matere njihove koje ih rode, i za oce njihove koji ih rode u toj zemlji:

4 Ljutom će smrću pomreti, neće biti oplakani niti će se pogrepsti, biće gnoj po zemlji, i od mača i od gladi izginuće, i mrtva će telesa njihova biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zverima zemaljskim.

5 Jer ovako govori Gospod: Ne ulazi u kuću u kojoj je žalost, i ne idi da plačeš niti ih žali; jer sam uzeo mir svoj od tog naroda, govori Gospod, milost i žaljenje.

6 Pomreće mali i veliki u ovoj zemlji, neće biti pogrebeni niti će se oplakati, niti će se ko rezati ni glave strići za njima.

7 Neće im se dati hleba u žalosti da se poteše za mrtvim, niti će ih napojiti iz čaše radi utehe za ocem ili za materom.

8 Tako ne ulazi u kuću u kojoj je žalost da sediš s njima da jedeš i piješ.

9 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: Evo, ja ću učiniti da na ovom mestu pred vašim očima i za vaših dana ne bude glasa radosnog ni glasa veselog, glasa ženikovog ni glasa nevestinog.

10 A kad kažeš tom narodu sve ove reči, ako ti kažu: Zašto izreče Gospod sve to veliko zlo na nas? I kakvo je bezakonje naše ili kakav je greh naš, kojim zgrešismo Gospodu Bogu svom?

11 Tada im reci: Jer oci vaši ostaviše mene, govori Gospod, i idoše za drugim bogovima i služiše im i klanjaše im se, a mene ostaviše i zakon moj ne držaše;

12 A vi još gore činite nego oci vaši, jer eto idete svaki po misli srca svog zlog ne slušajući mene.

13 Zato ću vas izbaciti iz ove zemlje u zemlju koje ne poznaste ni vi ni oci vaši, i onde ćete služiti drugim bogovima dan i noćdokle vam ne učinim milost.

14 Zato, evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad se neće više govoriti: Tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske;

15 Nego: Tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje severne i iz svih zemalja u koje ih beše razagnao! Jer ću ih opet dovesti u zemlju njihovu koju sam dao ocima njihovim.

16 Gle, ja ću poslati mnoge ribare, govori Gospod, da ih love, i posle ću poslati mnoge lovce da ih love po svakoj gori i po svakom humu i po raselinama kamenim.

17 Jer oči moje paze na sve puteve njihove, nisu sakriveni od mene, niti je bezakonje njihovo zaklonjeno od mojih očiju.

18 I platiću im prvo dvojinom za bezakonje njihovo i za greh njihov, što oskvrniše zemlju moju strvima gadova svojih, i nasledstvo moje napuniše gnusobama svojim.

19 Gospode, kreposti moja i grade moj i utočište moje u nevolji, k Tebi će doći narodi od krajeva zemaljskih, i reći će: Doista oci naši imaše laž, i taštinu i što ni malo ne pomaže.

20 Eda li će čovek načiniti sebi bogove, koji ipak nisu bogovi?

21 Zato, evo, ja ću ih naučiti sada, pokazaću im ruku svoju i silu svoju, da poznadu da mi je ime Gospod.

Apocalypse Explained # 731

731. Where she hath a place prepared by God, signifies the state of the church that in the meantime provision may be made for it among more. This is evident from the signification of "place," as being state (of which presently); also from the signification of "prepared by God," as being to be provided by the Lord, for what is done by man is prepared, but what is done by the Lord is provided. Moreover, to be provided is predicated of the state that is signified by "place," while "to be prepared" is predicated of "place." It signifies that the state in the meantime may be provided among more, because the woman's fleeing into the wilderness signifies that the church is as yet among few, because with those who are not in good and consequently not in truths (See the preceding article, n. 730; therefore it follows that these words, namely, "where the woman hath a place prepared by God" signify the state of the church, that in the meantime provision may be made for it among more; and what next follows, namely, "that they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and sixty days," signifies until it grows to fullness (See below, n. 732. But this state of the church that is meant by "the place of the woman in the wilderness" is more fully treated of in what follows in this chapter, for it is said that "there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she would be nourished a time and times and half a time from the face of the dragon," with many other things.

[2] "Place" signifies state because spaces, places, and distances, in the spiritual world, are in their origin states of life. These, indeed, appear there just the same as in this world, and yet they are different in this respect, that the quality of everyone is known from the place where he dwells, and where he dwells is known from what he is; thus it is in general in respect to the places of all according to quarters, and also in particular in respect to places in societies, and more particularly in respect to places in the houses, and even in the rooms. From this it is clear that place and quality of state act as one, and this for the reason that all things in the spiritual world that appear before the eyes, even to the lands, are correspondences of things spiritual; this is why "place" signifies state. (That spaces, places, and distances, are in their origin states, and thence in the Word signify states, see (Heaven and Hell 191-199) in the work on Heaven and Hell 191-199, in the article on Space in Heaven. ) For the same reason it is customary in our world to designate state by place, as to have a high place, an eminent place, and a distinguished place, for a high, eminent or distinguished state.

[3] From this it may appear what is meant by the Lord's words to His disciples:

That in His Father's house there are many mansions, and that He would go to prepare a place for them; and if He should go and prepare a place for them that He would come and take them to Himself (John 14:2, 3).

"To prepare a place for them" signifies to provide heaven for everyone according to the state of his life, for "the disciples" mean all who are to be of His church. And in Luke:

When the unclean spirit goeth out of a man he wandereth through dry places seeking rest (Luke 11:24).

"The unclean spirit going out of a man" signifies the removal of evils and the consequent falsities from man when he is repentant; the "dry places through which he wanders seeking rest" signify the states of evil and falsity that belong to his life. So elsewhere in the Word where place and places are mentioned.
