Studie

1 A po smrti Isusovoj upitaše sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda govoreći: Ko će između nas ići prvi na Hananeje da se bije s njima?

2 I Gospod reče: Juda neka ide; eto dao sam mu zemlju u ruke.

3 A Juda reče Simeunu bratu svom: Hajde sa mnom na moj deo da se bijemo s Hananejima; pak ću i ja ići s tobom na tvoj deo. I pođe Simeun s njim.

4 I iziđe Juda; i dade im Gospod Hananeje i Ferezeje u ruke, i pobiše ih u Vezeku deset hiljada ljudi.

5 Jer nađoše Adoni-Vezeka u Vezeku, i udariše na nj, i pobiše Hananeje i Ferezeje.

6 I pobeže Adoni-Vezek, a oni ga poteraše i uhvativši ga odsekoše mu palce u ruku i u nogu.

7 Tada reče Adoni-Vezek: Sedamdeset careva odsečenih palaca u ruku i u nogu kupiše šta beše pod mojim stolom; kako sam činio, tako mi plati Bog. I odvedoše ga u Jerusalim, i onde umre.

8 Jer sinovi Judini udariše na Jerusalim i uzeše ga, i isekoše građane oštrim mačem, a grad sažegoše ognjem.

9 Potom iziđoše sinovi Judini da vojuju na Hananeje, koji življahu u gori i na jugu i u ravni.

10 I Juda iziđe na Hananeje koji življahu u Hevronu, a Hevronu beše pre ime Kirijat-Arva; i pobiše Sesaja i Ahimana i Talmaja.

11 A odatle otidoše na Davirane, a Daviru pre beše ime Kirijat-Sefer.

12 I reče Halev: Ko savlada Kirijat-Sefer i uzme ga, daću mu Ahsu kćer svoju za ženu.

13 I uze ga Gotonilo, sin Kenezov, mlađi brat Halevov; i dade mu Ahsu kćer svoju za ženu.

14 I kad polažaše, nagovaraše je da ište u oca njenog polje: Pa skoči s magarca. A Halev joj reče: Šta ti je?

15 A ona mu reče: Daj mi dar; kad si mi dao suvu zemlju, daj mi i izvore vodene. I dade joj Halev izvore gornje i izvore donje.

16 A i sinovi Keneja tasta Mojsijevog iziđoše iz grada palmovog sa sinovima Judinim u pustinju Judinu, koja je na jugu od Arada. I došavši življahu s narodom.

17 Potom iziđe Juda sa Simeunom bratom svojim, i pobiše Hananeje koji življahu u Sefatu, i raskopaše ga, i prozva se grad Orma.

18 I Gazu uze Juda s međama njenim, i Askalon s međama njegovim, i Akaron s međama njegovim.

19 Jer Gospod beše s Judom, te osvoji goru; ali ne izagna one koji življahu u dolini, jer imahu gvozdena kola.

20 I dadoše Halevu Hevron, kao što beše zapovedio Mojsije, a on izagna odande tri sina Enakova.

21 A sinovi Venijaminovi ne izagnaše Jevuseja koji življahu u Jerusalimu; nego Jevuseji ostaše u Jerusalimu sa sinovima Venijaminovim do ovog dana.

22 Iziđoše i sinovi Josifovi na Vetilj, i Gospod beše s njima.

23 I uhodiše Vetilj sinovi Josifovi, a ime gradu beše pre Luz.

24 I uhode videše čoveka koji iđaše iz grada i rekoše mu: Hajde pokaži nam kuda ćemo ući u grad, pa ćemo ti učiniti milost.

25 A on im pokaza kuda će ući u grad: i isekoše u gradu sve oštrim mačem, a onog čoveka pustiše sa svom porodicom njegovom.

26 I otide onaj čovek u zemlju hetejsku, i onde sazida grad, i prozva ga Luz; to mu je ime do danas.

27 A Manasija ne izagna stanovnike iz Vet-Sana i sela njegovih, ni iz Tanaha i sela njegovih, ni stanovnike iz Dora i sela njegovih, ni stanovnike iz Ivleama i sela njegovih, ni stanovnike iz Megida i sela njegovih; i Hananeji stadoše živeti u toj zemlji.

28 A kad ojača Izrailj, udari na Hananeje danak, ali ih ne izagna.

29 Ni Jefrem ne izagna Hananeje koji življahu u Gezeru; nego ostaše Hananeji s njim u Gezeru.

30 Zavulon ne izagna stanovnike iz Kitrona, ni stanovnike iz Nalola; nego ostaše Hananeji s njim, i plaćahu danak.

31 Asir ne izagna stanovnike iz Akona, ni stanovnike iz Sidona ni iz Alava, ni iz Ahaziva, ni iz Helve, ni iz Afika, ni iz Reova;

32 Nego Asir življaše među Hananejima, stanovnicima one zemlje, jer ih ne izagna.

33 Neftalim ne izagna stanovnike iz Vet-Semesa, ni stanovnike iz Vet-Anata; nego življaše među Hananejima stanovnicima one zemlje; i stanovnici u Vet-Semesu i u Vet-Anatu plaćahu im danak.

34 A Amoreji pritešnjavahu sinove Danove u gori, i ne davahu im silaziti u dolinu.

35 I Amoreji stadoše živeti u gori Eresu, u Ajalonu i u Salvimu; a kad osili ruka doma Josifovog, plaćaše danak.

36 A međa Amorejima beše od gore akravimske, od stene pa naviše.

614. From these points it can be seen that being forgiven for our sins is not a matter of their being completely washed away or eliminated from us, but of their being relocated and sequestered within us. It is also clear that every evil that we have actively made our own stays with us.

Because "forgiveness of sins" means that they are relocated and sequestered within us, it follows that we are withheld from our evil by the Lord and held in goodness. This is the benefit that regeneration gives us.

On one occasion I heard someone in the lowest heaven saying that he was free of sin because his sins had been washed away; he added that this had been done by the blood of Christ. Because he was in heaven and had that mistaken belief through ignorance, he was plunged back into his sins. As they returned upon him, he owned up to them. As a result, he adopted a new belief, which was that every human being and every angel is held back by the Lord from what is evil inside them and kept in what is good.

[2] This experience also makes it clear that our sins are not instantly forgiven; they are forgiven in accordance with our regeneration and our progress in it.

The laying aside of our sins, which is called forgiveness of sins, can be compared with the dumping of waste from the camp of the children of Israel in the surrounding desert (their camp represented heaven; the desert represented hell).

It can also be compared with the separation of the nations from the children of Israel in the land of Canaan, and of the Jebusites in Jerusalem [Joshua 15:63]; they were not cast out, they were just kept apart.

It can also be compared with Dagon, the god of the Philistines. When the ark was brought in, Dagon first lay on its face on the ground, and afterward lay with its head and its hands broken off on the threshold [1 Samuel 5:3-4]. It was not cast out; it was just moved to a different place.

[3] It can also be compared with the demons that the Lord sent into the pigs, who then plunged into the sea [Matthew 8:31-32]. The sea here and elsewhere in the Word means hell.

It can also be compared with the dragon's gang, which was separated from heaven. It first invaded the earth and was then cast down to hell [Revelation 12:9; 20:2, 10].

It can also be compared with a forest full of predatory animals. Once the forest is cut down, the animals retreat into the surrounding bushes, and the land in the middle is leveled and cultivated as a field.
