Naum 1

Studie

1 Breme Nineviji; knjiga od utvare Nauma Elkošanina.

2 Bog je revnitelj i Gospod je osvetnik; osvetnik je Gospod i gnevi se; Gospod se sveti protivnicima svojim, i drži gnev prema neprijateljima svojim.

3 Gospod je spor na gnev i velike je moći; ali nikako ne pravda krivca; put je Gospodnji u vihoru i buri, i oblaci su prah od nogu Njegovih.

4 Zaprećuje moru i isušuje ga, i sve reke isušuje, vene Vasan i Karmil, i cvet vasanski vene.

5 Gore se tresu od Njega, i humovi se rastapaju, a zemlja gori pred Njim i vasiljena i sve što živi u njoj.

6 Pred gnevom Njegovim ko će se održati? I ko će se opreti jarosti gneva Njegovog? Jarost se Njegova izliva kao oganj, i stene se raspadaju Pred Njim.

7 Dobar je Gospod, grad je u nevolji, i poznaje one koji se uzdaju u Nj.

8 Ali će silnom poplavom učiniti kraj mestu njenom, i tama će goniti neprijatelje Njegove.

9 Šta smišljate Gospodu? On će učiniti kraj; neće se dva puta podignuti pogibao.

10 Jer kao trnje spleteni i kao od vina pijani proždreće se kao suva slama.

11 Iz tebe je izašao koji smišlja zlo Gospodu, savetnik nevaljao.

12 Ovako veli Gospod: Ako i jesu u sili i mnogo ih ima, opet će se iseći i proći. Mučio sam te, neću te više mučiti.

13 Nego ću sada slomiti jaram njegov s tebe, i pokidaću tvoje okove.

14 Ali za tebe zapovedi Gospod da se ne seje više ime tvoje; iz doma bogova tvojih istrebiću likove rezane i livene; načiniću ti od njega grob kad budeš prezren.

15 Eto, na gorama noge onog koji nosi dobre glase, koji oglašuje mir. Praznuj, Juda, svoje praznike, ispunjaj zavete svoje, jer zlikovac neće više prolaziti po tebi; sasvim se zatro.

Apocalypse Explained # 662

/ 1232  
  

662. Because those two prophets tormented them that dwell upon the earth, signifies anxiety of heart in the devastated church on account of these. This is evident from the signification of "the two witnesses," who are here called "two prophets," as being the goods and truths of doctrine; also from the signification of "tormenting," as being anxiety of heart; also from the signification of "them that dwell upon the earth," as being those who live in the church, here in the devastated church. Therefore these words signify the anxiety of heart from the goods of love and the truths of doctrine with those who are of the devastated church; for here the end of the church is treated of, when the loves of self and of the world, and their lusts and the evils and falsities of those lusts, have rule. Then men are tormented by the goods of love and the truths of doctrine, because inwardly or in their hearts they hate them, howsoever they may profess them with their lips; and when anything that is hated enters there is inward torment; and yet such a man of the church does not know, so long as he lives in the world, that he has so great hate for these two witnesses, and that he is inwardly tormented by them, for the reason that he does not know the state of his interior thought and affection, but only the state of his exterior thought and affection, which falls immediately into speech. But when he comes into the spiritual world his exterior thought and affection are laid asleep, and the interior are opened, and then he feels so great a repugnance from hatred against the goods of love and the truths of doctrine that he cannot endure hearing them. When, therefore, such a man enters any angelic society where spiritual love and faith rule he is grievously tormented, which is a sign of interior repugnance from hatred against love and faith. This makes clear what is signified by "those two prophets tormented them that dwell upon the earth." "Them that dwell upon the earth" mean those in the church who are in good in respect to life, but here those who are in evil, for such are interiorly tormented by the goods of love and the truths of doctrine. That "to dwell" signifies to live, and thus life, can be seen from passages in the Word, where "to dwell" is mentioned (Isaiah 9:2; 13:20; 37:16; Jeremiah 2:6, 15; 51:13; Daniel 2:22; 4:9; Ezekiel 31:6; Hosea 9:2, 3; Psalms 23:6; 27:4; 80:1; 101:7; Zephaniah 3:6; and elsewhere).
