Éxodo 11

Studie

   

1 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Una plaga traeré aún sobre el Faraón, y sobre Egipto; después de la cual él os dejará ir de aquí; y seguramente os echará de aquí del todo.

2 Habla ahora al pueblo, y que cada uno demande a su vecino, y cada una a su vecina, vasos de plata y de oro.

3 Y el SEÑOR dio gracia al pueblo en los ojos de los egipcios. También Moisés era gran varón en la tierra de Egipto, delante de los siervos del Faraón, y delante del pueblo.

4 Y dijo Moisés: El SEÑOR ha dicho así: A la medianoche yo saldré por en medio de Egipto,

5 y morirá todo primogénito en tierra de Egipto, desde el primogénito del Faraón que está asentado en su trono, hasta el primogénito de la sierva que está tras la muela; y todo primogénito de las bestias.

6 Y habrá gran clamor por toda la tierra de Egipto, cual nunca fue, ni jamás será.

7 Mas entre todos los hijos de Israel, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, ni un perro moverá su lengua: para que sepáis que hará diferencial el SEÑOR entre los egipcios y los israelitas.

8 Y descenderán a mí todos estos tus siervos, e inclinados delante de mí dirán: Sal tú, y todo el pueblo que está debajo de ti; y después de esto yo saldré. Y salió muy enojado de la presencia del Faraón.

9 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: El Faraón no os oirá, para que mis maravillas se multipliquen en la tierra de Egipto.

10 Y Moisés y Aarón hicieron todos estos prodigios delante del Faraón: mas el SEÑOR había endurecido el corazón del Faraón, para que no dejase ir de su tierra a los hijos de Israel.

9164. 'Or is led away captive' means removal. This is clear from the meaning of 'being led away captive', when it has reference to the good or truth present with a person, as removal. The situation here is that when truth that springs from good reigns in a person the truth he believes in the most strongly lies in the middle, and the truths he believes in less strongly are stationed further and further away from the middle, ending with those about which he is in doubt. Bordering the truths are falsities, but they are not part of that sequence of truths. Nor do they stand upright pointing to heaven in the way that the truths springing from good do, but are bent over pointing downwards, and in the measure that they arise from evil they look towards hell. But when falsity supplants truth order is turned upside down; the truths move away to the sides and form the outer circle, and the falsities arising from evil occupy the middle. This shows what removal is used to mean, regarding which see also 3436, 6084, 6103. The reason why that kind of removal is meant by 'being led away captive' is that when falsities take truths captive they lead them away in that manner. Such things are also meant by 'being taken captive' and 'being led away captive' in Jeremiah,

The wind will feed on all your shepherds, and your lovers will be led away into captivity. Jeremiah 22:22.

In the same prophet,

Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished, for your sons have been led away into captivity, and your daughters into captivity. Yet I will bring back the captives 1 of Moab in the last days. Jeremiah 48:46-47.

'Sons' who have been led away into captivity are truths, and 'daughters' are forms of good. And in Luke,

They will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken captive among all the gentiles; 2 and at length Jerusalem will be trodden underfoot by the gentiles. 2 Luke 21:24.

This refers to the close of the age, which is the final period of the Church. 'Falling by the edge of the sword' means being destroyed by falsities, 'the sword' being falsity engaged in conflict against truth, 2799, 4499, 6353, 7102, 8294. 'The gentiles' among whom they will be taken captive and by whom the Church will be trodden underfoot are evils that give rise to falsities, see 1259, 1260, 1849, 1868, 6306; and 'Jerusalem' which will be trodden underfoot then is the Church, 2117, 3654.

4932. The ones who in the Grand Man correspond to the hands and arms, and also the shoulders, are those with power received through the truth of faith grounded in good. For those who have received the truth of faith grounded in good have received power from the Lord. They attribute all their power to Him and none to themselves; and the more they attribute no power to themselves, doing so not with their lips but in their hearts, the greater power they have. This is why angels are called powers and authorities.
