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.

2083. 'And you will call his name Isaac' means the Divine Rational. This is clear from Isaac's representation and also from the meaning of his name in the internal sense.

From Isaac's representation: As stated frequently already, 'Abraham' represents the Lord's Internal Man, 'Isaac' His Rational Man, and 'Jacob' His Natural Man. The Lord's Internal Man was Jehovah Himself. Because the Rational Man was conceived from the influx of the Internal Man into the External Man's affection for knowledge, 1896, 1902, 1910, it originated in the Divine thus joined to the Human. Consequently the first rational represented by 'Ishmael' was human, but it was made Divine by the Lord, and is then represented by 'Isaac'.

From the meaning of his name: He was given the name Isaac from the word for 'laughter', and because laughter in the internal sense means the affection for truth, which belongs to the rational, as shown above in 2072, Isaac accordingly here means the Divine Rational.

[2] From His own power the Lord made Divine everything that was human with Him. Thus He made not only the rational Divine but also the sensory part, interior and exterior, and so the body itself. In this way He united the Human to the Divine. It has been shown already that not only the rational, but also the sensory part, and so the whole body also was made Divine and Jehovah. This may also become clear to anyone from the fact that He alone has risen as to the body from the dead, and sits at the right hand of the Divine Power both with His entire Divine and with His entire Human. 'Sitting at the right hand of Divine power' means having all power in heaven and on earth.
