Mateo 3

Studie

   

1 EN aquellos dias vino Juan el Bautista predicando en el desierto de Judéa,

2 Y diciendo: Arrepentíos, que el reino de los cielos se ha acercado.

3 Porque este es aquel del cual fué dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo: Voz de uno que clama en el desierto: Aparejad el camino del Señor, enderezad sus veredas.

4 Y tenia Juan su vestido de pelos de camellos, y una cinta de cuero alrededor de sus lomos, y su comida era langostas, y miel silvestre.

5 Entónces salia á el Jerusalem y toda Judéa, y toda la provincia de alrededor del Jordan;

6 Y eran bautizados de él en el Jordan, confesando sus pecados.

7 Y viendo él muchos de los Fariséos y de los Saducéos, que venian á su bautismo, decíales: Generacion de víboras, ¿quién os ha enseñado á huir de la ira que vendrá?

8 Haced pues frutos dignos de arrepentimiento;

9 Y no penseis decir dentro de vosotros: A Abraham tenemos por padre: porque yo os digo, que puede Dios despertar hijos á Abraham aun de estas piedras.

10 Ahora, ya tambien la segur está puesta á la raiz de los árboles; y todo árbol que no hace buen fruto, es cortado y echado en el fuego.

11 Yo á la verdad os bautizo en agua para arrepentimiento: mas el que viene tras mí, mas poderoso es que yo; los zapatos del cual yo no soy digno de llevar: él os bautizará en Espíritu Santo, y [en] fuego.

12 Su aventador en su mano [está,] y aventará su era; y allegará su trigo en el alfolí, y quemará la paja en fuego que nunca se apagará.

13 Entónces Jesus vino de Galiléa á Juan al Jordan, para ser bautizado de él.

14 Mas Juan lo resistia mucho, diciendo: Yo he menester ser bautizado de tí, ¿y tu vienes á mí?

15 Empero respondiendo Jesus le dijo: Deja ahora: porque así nos conviene cumplir toda justicia. Entónces le dejó.

16 Y Jesus despues que fué bautizado, subió luego del agua: y hé aquí los cielos le fueron abiertos, y vió al Espíritu de Dios que descendia, como paloma, y venia sobre el,

17 Y hé aquí una voz de los cielos que decia: Este es mi Hijo amado, en el cual tengo contentamiento.

2798. That 'Abraham took the pieces of wood for the burnt offering' means the merit of righteousness is clear from what has been stated and shown above in 2784, and so without further explanation.

[2798a] 'And laid them on Isaac [his son]' means that it, that is to say, the merit of righteousness, was joined to the Divine Rational. This becomes clear from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Lord's Divine Rational, often dealt with already, and from the meaning of 'laying it on him' as allying it. The expression 'his son' is used because the Lord's Divine Human was not only conceived but was also born from Jehovah. The Lord's conception from Jehovah is very well known from the Word of the Lord, and therefore He is called 'Son of the Most High', 'Son of God', and 'Only Begotten of the Father' in Matthew 2:15; 3, 16, 17; 16:13-17; 17:5; 27:43, 54; Mark 1:11; 9:7, 9; 14:61-62; Luke 1:31-32, 35; 3:21-22; 9:35; 10:22; John 1:14, 18, 49; 3:13, 16-18; 5:20-27; 6:69; 9:34-35, 38; 10:35-36; 20:30-31, and besides these in very many other places where He calls Jehovah His Father.

[2] It is also well known that He was born of a virgin Mary, yet even so like any other. But when He was born again, that is, became Divine, this was from Jehovah who dwelt within Him and who was Himself as to the very Being (Esse) of life. The union of the Divine Essence and the Human Essence was effected mutually and reciprocally, so that He united the Divine Essence to the Human Essence, and the Human Essence to the Divine Essence, see 1921, 1999, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2083, 2508, 2523, 2618, 2628, 2632, 2728, 2729. From this it may become clear that the Lord made the Human within Himself Divine from His own power and in so doing became Righteousness. That which was allied to the Divine Rational when He underwent inmost temptation was the merit of righteousness; and it was from the Divine Rational that He fought, and it was against it that evil genii fought, until He glorified that Divine Rational also. These are the things meant in the internal sense by Abraham's laying the pieces of wood for the burnt offering on Isaac his son, and they are the things which angels perceive when these words are being read.

Genesis 16

Studie

   

1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2 Sarai said to Abram, "See now, Yahweh has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain children by her." Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

3 Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

4 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5 Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Yahweh judge between me and you."

6 But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes." Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

7 The angel of Yahweh found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

8 He said, "Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, where did you come from? where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai."

9 The angel of Yahweh said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands."

10 The angel of Yahweh said to her, "I will greatly multiply your seed, that they will not be numbered for multitude."

11 The angel of Yahweh said to her, "Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction.

12 He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. He will live opposite all of his brothers."

13 She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, "You are a God who sees," for she said, "Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?"

14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15 Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
