Jeremija 34

Studie

   

1 Reč koja dođe Jeremiji od Gospoda, kad Navuhodonosor car vavilonski i sva vojska njegova, i sva carstva zemaljska koja behu pod njegovom vlašću, i svi narodi vojevahu na Jerusalim i na sve gradove njegove, i reče:

2 Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: Idi i kaži Sedekiji, caru Judinom, i reci mu: Ovako veli Gospod: Evo, ja ću predati taj grad u ruke caru vavilonskom, i on će ga spaliti ognjem.

3 A ti nećeš uteći iz njegove ruke, nego ćeš biti uhvaćen i predan u njegove ruke, i oči će se tvoje videti s očima cara vavilonskog i njegova će usta govoriti s tvojim ustima, i otići ćeš u Vavilon.

4 Ali čuj reč Gospodnju, Sedekija care Judin; ovako veli Gospod za te: Nećeš poginuti od mača.

5 Nego ćeš umreti na miru, i kao što pališe ocima tvojim, pređašnjim carevima, koji su bili pre tebe, tako će paliti i tebi, i naricaće za tobom: Jaoh gospodaru! Jer ja rekoh ovo, govori Gospod.

6 I kaza Jeremija prorok Sedekiji caru Judinom sve ove reči u Jerusalimu.

7 A vojska cara vavilonskog udaraše na Jerusalim i na sve ostale gradove Judine, na Lahis i Aziku, jer ti behu ostali tvrdi gradovi između gradova Judinih.

8 Reč koja dođe Jeremiji od Gospoda kad car Sedekija učini zavet sa svim narodom koji beše u Jerusalimu da im proglasi slobodu,

9 Da svaki otpusti slobodnog roba svog i robinju svoju, Jevrejina i Jevrejku, da ni u koga ne bude rob Judejac, brat njegov.

10 I poslušaše svi knezovi i sav narod, koji prista na zavet, da svaki otpusti slobodnog roba svog i robinju svoju, da im ne budu više robovi, poslušaše i otpustiše.

11 A posle, opet, staše uzimati robove i robinje, koje behu otpustili na volju, i nagoniše ih da im budu robovi i robinje.

12 I dođe reč Gospodnja Jeremiji od Gospoda govoreći:

13 Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: Ja učinih zavet s ocima vašim kad vas izvedoh iz zemlje misirske, iz doma ropskog, govoreći:

14 Kad se svršuje sedma godina, otpuštajte svaki brata svog Jevrejina koji ti se bude prodao i služio ti šest godina, otpusti ga slobodnog od sebe. Ali ne poslušaše me oci vaši niti prignuše uha svog.

15 I vi se bejaste sada obratili i učinili što je pravo preda mnom proglasivši slobodu svaki bližnjemu svom, učinivši zavet preda mnom u domu koji se zove mojim imenom.

16 Ali udariste natrag i pogrdiste ime moje uzevši opet svaki roba svog i robinju svoju, koje bejaste otpustili slobodne na njihovu volju, i nateraste ih da vam budu robovi i robinje.

17 Zato ovako veli Gospod: Vi ne poslušaste mene da proglasite slobodu svaki bratu svom i bližnjemu svom; evo, ja proglašujem slobodu suprot vama, govori Gospod, maču, pomoru i gladi, i predaću vas da se potucate po svim carstvima zemaljskim.

18 I predaću ljude koji prestupiše moj zavet, koji ne izvršiše reči zaveta koji učiniše preda mnom, rasekavši tele na dvoje i prošavši između polovina,

19 Knezove Judine i knezove jerusalimske, dvorane i sveštenike i sav narod ove zemlje, koji prođoše između polovina onog teleta,

20 Predaću ih u ruke neprijateljima njihovim i u ruke onima koji traže dušu njihovu, i mrtva će tela njihova biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zverima zemaljskim.

21 I Sedekiju, cara Judinog, i knezove njegove predaću u ruke neprijateljima njihovim i u ruke onima koji traže dušu njihovu, u ruke vojsci cara vavilonskog, koja se vratila od vas.

22 Evo, ja ću im zapovediti, veli Gospod, i dovešću ih opet na ovaj grad, i biće ga i uzeće ga i spaliće ga ognjem; i gradove Judine obratiću u pustoš da niko neće stanovati u njima.

157. Since a person's spirit means his mind, 'being in the spirit', a phrase which occurs a number of times in the Word, means the state in which the mind is separated from the body. That was the state the Prophets were in when they saw the kind of things which happen in the spiritual world, so it is called 'the vision of God.' They were then in the same state as that of the spirits and angels of that world. In that state a person's spirit, as the visual capacity of his mind, can be transported from place to place while his body remains in one place. This is the state in which I have been for the last twenty-six years, with the difference that I have been simultaneously in the spirit and in the body, and only at times outside the body. Ezekiel, Zechariah, Daniel and John the writer of Revelation were evident from the following passages.

Ezekiel says: 'A spirit lifted me up, and brought me back to Chaldaea to the captives in a vision, in the spirit of God; so the vision which I had seen went up from me' (Ezekiel 11:1, 24). A spirit lifted him up and he heard behind him an earthquake (Ezekiel 3:12, 14). A spirit lifted him up between earth and heaven, and carried him off to Jerusalem, and he saw abominations (Ezekiel 8:3ff). He saw four creatures, which were Cherubim, and various sights with them (Ezek. chapters 1, 10); also a new earth and a new temple, and an angel measuring them (Ezek. chapters 40-48). He was then in receipt of a vision and in the spirit (Ezekiel 40:2; 13:5).

[2] Similar things happened to Zechariah, when he was with an angel and saw a man riding a horse among myrtles (Zechariah 1:8ff); four horns [Zechariah 1:18] and a man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 2:1, 5ff); Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1ff); four chariots coming out between two mountains, and their horses (Zechariah 6:1ff). Daniel was in the same state when he saw four beasts coming up out of the sea and various other details about them (Daniel 7:1ff); the fights between a ram and a he-goat (Daniel 8:1ff). He saw these things in a vision (Daniel 7:1-2, 7, 13; 8:2; 10:1, 7-8); the angel Gabriel appeared to him in a vision and spoke with him (Daniel 9:21).

[3] It was the same with John when he wrote Revelation. He says that he was in the spirit on the Lord's day (Revelation 1:10); that he was carried in the spirit into the desert (Revelation 17:3); onto a high mountain in the spirit (Revelation 21:10); that he saw [horses] in a vision (Revelation 9:17). Elsewhere he says that he saw what he described, as for instance the Son of Man in the midst of the seven lampstands; a tabernacle, a temple, an ark and an altar in heaven; a book sealed with seven seals, and horses that came out of it; four creatures around the throne; twelve thousand chosen from each tribe; then the Lamb upon Mount Zion; locusts coming up from the abyss; the dragon and his battle with Michael; a woman bearing a son, and fleeing into the desert because of the dragon; two beasts, one coming up from the sea, the other from the earth; a woman sitting on a scarlet beast; the dragon cast out into a lake of fire and brimstone; a white horse and a great banquet; the Holy City of Jerusalem coming down, with a description of its gates, wall and the foundations of the wall; a river of living water, and trees of life which bear fruit in every month; and much else besides. Peter, James and John were in a similar state when they saw Jesus transfigured; and so was Paul when he heard from heaven things past telling.
