Jeremija 49

Studie

   

1 Za sinove Amonove: Ovako veli Gospod: Zar Izrailj nema sinove? Zar nema naslednike? Zašto Malhom nasledi zemlju Gadovu? I zašto se narod njegov naseli u njegovim gradovima?

2 Zato evo idu dani, govori Gospod, kad ću učiniti da se čuje vika ubojna u Ravi sinova Amonovih, i ona da bude gomila razvalina, i sela njena popaljena ognjem; i Izrailj će ovladati onima koji behu njim ovladali, govori Gospod.

3 Ridaj Esevone, jer je Gaj opustošen, vičite sela ravska, pripašite oko sebe kostret, naričite i trčite oko plotova; jer će Malhom otići u ropstvo, sveštenici njegovi i knezovi njegovi skupa.

4 Što se hvališ dolinama? Rastopila se dolina tvoja, kćeri odmetnico! Koja se uzdaš u blago svoje: Ko bi udario na me?

5 Evo ja ću pustiti na te strah od svuda unaokolo, govori Gospod Gospod nad vojskama, i raspršaćete se svi, i neće biti nikoga da skupi bežan.

6 Ali ću posle povratiti roblje sinova Amonovih, govori Gospod.

7 Za Edoma, ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Zar nema više mudrosti u Temanu? Nesta li saveta razumnima? Iščile li mudrost njihova?

8 Bežite, obratite pleći, zavrite se duboko, stanovnici dedanski, jer ću pustiti na Isava pogibao njegovu u vreme kad ću ga pohoditi.

9 Da ti dođu berači, ne bi li ti ostavili pabiraka? Da dođu lupeži noću, ne bi li odneli koliko im je dosta?

10 Ali ja ogoluznih Isava, otkrih potaje njegove da se ne može sakriti; propade seme njegovo, braća njegova i susedi njegovi, niko ne osta.

11 Ostavi sirote svoje, ja ću im život sačuvati, i udovice tvoje neka se uzdaju u me.

12 Jer ovako veli Gospod: Evo, koji ne bi trebalo da piju iz čaše, doista će piti; a ti li ćeš ostati bez kara? Nećeš ostati bez kara, nego ćeš zacelo piti.

13 Jer sobom se zaklinjem, govori Gospod, da će Vosora biti pustoš, rug, čudo i prokletstvo, i svi će gradovi njeni biti pustinja večna.

14 Čuh glas od Gospoda, i glasnik bi poslan k narodima da reče: Skupite se i idite na nju, i dignite se u boj.

15 Jer gle, učiniću te da budeš mali među narodima i prezren među ljudima.

16 Obest tvoja i ponositost srca tvog prevari tebe, koji živiš u raselinama kamenim i držiš se visokih humova; da načiniš sebi gnezdo visoko kao orao, i odande ću te svaliti, govori Gospod.

17 I zemlja će edomska biti pustinja, ko prođe mimo nju, svak će se čuditi i zviždati radi svih rana njenih.

18 Kao kad se zatre Sodom i Gomor i susedstvo njihovo, veli Gospod, neće se naseliti onde niko niti će se baviti onde sin čovečji.

19 Gle, kao lav izaći će podižući se više nego Jordan na stan Silnoga; ali ću ga brzo oterati iz te zemlje, i postaviću nad njom onog ko je izabran; jer ko je kao ja? I ko će se preti sa mnom? I koji će mi pastir odoleti?

20 Zato čujte nameru Gospodnju što je naumio za Edomce i misli njegove što je smislio za stanovnike temanske: zaista najmanji iz stada razvlačiće ih, zaista će opusteti stan s njima.

21 Od praske padanja njihovog zemlja će se tresti, i vika će se njihova čuti na crvenom moru.

22 Gle, doći će i doleteće kao orao i raširiće krila svoja nad Vosorom, i biće srce u junaka edomskih kao srce u žene koja se porađa.

23 Za Damask. Posrami se Emat i Arfad, jer ču zle glase; rastopiše se, strah je na moru, ne može se umiriti.

24 Damask klonu, obrati se da beži, drhat ga poduze, tuga i bolovi osvojiše ga kao porodilju.

25 Kako se ne ostavi slavni grad? grad radosti moje?

26 Zato će popadati mladići njegovi na ulicama njegovim, i svi će vojnici njegovi izginuti u onaj dan, govori Gospod nad vojskama.

27 I raspaliću oganj u zidovima damaštanskim, i proždreće dvore Ven-Adadove.

28 Za Kidar i za carstva asorska, koja razbi Navuhodonosor car vavilonski, ovako veli Gospod: Ustanite, idite na Kidar, i zatrite sinove istočne.

29 Uzeće im šatore i stada, zavese njihove i sudove njihove i kamile njihove oteće, i vikaće na njih strašno odsvuda.

30 Bežite, selite se daleko, sakrijte se duboko, stanovnici asorski, govori Gospod, jer je Navuhodonosor car vavilonski namerio nameru protiv vas, i smislio misao protiv vas.

31 Ustanite, idite k narodu mirnom, koji živi bez straha, govori Gospod, koji nema vrata ni prevornica, žive sami.

32 I kamile će njihove biti plen, i mnoštvo stoke njihove grabež, i rasejaću ih u sve vetrove, one što se s kraja strižu, i dovešću pogibao na njih sa svih strana, govori Gospod.

33 I Asor će biti stan zmajevski, pustinja do veka: niko se neće onde naseliti, niti će se baviti u njemu sin čovečji.

34 Reč Gospodnja koja dođe Jeremiji proroku za Elam, u početku carovanja Sedekije cara Judinog, govoreći:

35 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Evo, ja ću slomiti luk Elamu, glavnu silu njegovu;

36 I dovešću na Elam četiri vetra s četiri kraja nebesa, i u sve te vetrove rasejaću ih, tako da neće biti naroda kuda neće otići prognanici elamski.

37 I uplašiću Elamce pred neprijateljima njihovim, i pred onima koji traže dušu njihovu; i pustiću zlo na njih, žestinu gneva svog, govori Gospod, i pustiću za njima mač dokle ih ne zatrem.

38 I namestiću presto svoj u Elamu, i istrebiću odande cara i knezove, govori Gospod.

39 Ali u poslednje vreme povratiću roblje elamsko, govori Gospod.

6588. 'And God will certainly visit you' means that the final period is about to come. This is clear from the meaning of 'being visited' as the final period, here that of the oppression of the children of Israel in Egypt, which in the internal sense is the final period of the old Church and the first of the new. In the Word this final period is called 'visitation', and this is used in reference both to the Church collectively and to those within the Church individually. It is used in reference to a new Church that is being born and an old one that is breathing its last, and to the individual member of the Church who is being saved, as well as to one who is damned.

[2] The fact that these things are meant in the Word by 'visitation' and 'the day of visitation' may be seen from the following places: In Luke,

Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and brought deliverance to His people, through the heart 1 of mercy of our God, by which the risen sun from on high has visited us, to appear to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Luke 1:68, 78-79.

In this prophecy of Zechariah regarding the Lord, telling what would happen after He had been born, 'being visited' stands for the raising up from death of a new Church and the enlightenment at that time of those who had no knowledge of the truth and good of faith, thus the deliverance of them. It is for this reason that the words 'He has visited and brought deliverance to His people, . . . has visited [us], to appear to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death' are used.

[3] In Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Gather the elders of Israel and say to them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will certainly visit you and what has been done to you in Egypt. Exodus 3:16.

And in the same author,

The people believed and heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel. Exodus 4:31.

'Being visited' here stands for the final period when the Church has gone out of existence and for the first period when it comes into existence - for the final period among the Egyptians, and for the first among the children of Israel, and so for the deliverance of them too.

[4] In Jeremiah,

They will be carried away to Babel, and there they will be until the day [ visit them. Then I will cause the vessels of the house of God to come up, and I will bring them back to this place. Jeremiah 27:22.

In the same prophet,

When seventy years have been completed at Babel I will visit you and fulfill My promise 2 to you and bring you back to this place. Jeremiah 29:10.

'Visiting' stands for delivering, in general for the final period of captivity and desolation.

[5] 'Visitation' and 'the day of visitation' stand for the final period of the Church in Isaiah,

What will you do on the day of visitation and devastation? It will come from afar. To whom will you flee for help? Isaiah 10:3.

In the same prophet,

Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel, and one of indignation and wrath and anger, to make the earth a waste. I will visit the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. Isaiah 13:9, 11.

In Jeremiah,

They will fall among those who fall, and in the time of their visitation they will stumble. Jeremiah 8:12.

In Hosea,

The days of visitation have come, the days of recompense have come. Hosea 9:7.

In Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, All the same, go, lead this people to [the place] of which I have spoken to you; behold, My angel will go before you. But on the day of My visiting, I will visit them for their sin. Exodus 32:34.

In Luke,

Jesus said regarding Jerusalem, They will not leave in you stone upon stone, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation. Luke 19:44.

'The day of visitation' stands for the Lord's Coming, and enlightenment at that time. But in reference to the Jewish nation - seeing that it did not recognize His Coming - 'the day of visitation' stands for the final period of the representative acts of the Church among them. For once Jerusalem was destroyed sacrifices came to an end and that nation was scattered abroad.

[6] In Ezekiel,

A loud voice called out in my ears, saying, The visitations of the city have drawn near, and each man has his weapon of destruction in his hand. Ezekiel 9:1.

Here the meaning is similar. In Isaiah,

The Rephaim will not rise. To that end You have visited them, You have wiped them out. Isaiah 16:14.

'The Rephaim' stands for descendants of the Most Ancient Church which existed before the Flood. They are also called the Nephilim and the Anakim, regarding whom see 567, 581, 1673. 'You have visited and wiped out the Rephaim' stands for the final period of that Church; it also stands for the casting of them into hell, regarding which see 1265-1272. 'Visitation' stands for retribution, thus for damnation, in Jeremiah,

Shall I not visit them on account of this? Or will not My soul be avenged on a nation which is like this? Jeremiah 5:9.

In the same prophet,

I will bring the disaster of Esau upon him, at the time I visit him. Jeremiah 49:8.

In Hosea,

I will visit upon him his ways, and requite his works. Hosea 4:9.
