Hosea 14

Studie

   

1 Samarien skall lida vad det har förskyllt genom sin gensträvighet mot sin Gud. Inbyggarna skola falla för svärd, deras späda barn skola bliva krossade och deras havande kvinnor skall man upprista.

2 Vänd om, o Israel, till HERREN, din Gud; ty genom din missgärning har du kommit på fall.

3 Tagen med eder böneord, och vänden så åter till HERREN; sägen till honom: »Skaffa bort all missgärning, och tag fram goda håvor, så vilja vi hembära dig våra läppars offer, såsom man offrar tjurar.

4 Hos Assur skola vi ej mer söka vår frälsning, vi skola icke vidare stiga till häst. våra händers verk skola vi icke mer kalla för vår Gud. Ty hos dig är det som den faderlöse undfår barmhärtighet.»

5 Ja, deras avfällighet vill jag hela, jag vill bevisa dem kärlek av hjärtat, ty min vrede har vänt sig ifrån dem.

6 Jag skall bliva för Israel såsom dagg, han skall blomstra såsom en lilja, och såsom Libanons skog skall han skjuta rötter.

7 Telningar skola utgå från honom, han skall bliva lik ett olivträd i fägring och doft skall han sprida såsom Libanon.

8 De som bo i hans skugga skola åter få odla säd och skola grönska såsom vinträd; hans namn skall vara såsom Libanons vin.

9 Men vad har jag då mer att skaffa med avgudarna, du Efraim! Jag själv vill ju giva bönhörelse och se till honom. Ja, lik en grönskande cypress vill jag bliva; hos mig skall finnas frukt att hämta för dig.

10 Den som är vis, han akte härpå; den som är förståndig, han besinne detta. Ty HERRENS vägar äro rätta, och på dem vandra de rättfärdiga, men överträdarna komma där på fall.

83. The idea that a Son born from eternity came down and took upon Himself human form collapses as totally erroneous and is exploded on considering the passages from the Word in which Jehovah Himself says that He is the Saviour and Redeemer, as the following:

Am I not Jehovah, and there is no God beside Me? There is no righteous God and Saviour beside Me, Isaiah 45:21-22.

I am Jehovah, and there is no Saviour beside Me, Isaiah 43:11.

I am Jehovah your God, and you are not to acknowledge any God beside Me, and there is no Saviour beside Me, Hosea 13:4.

That all flesh may know that I am Jehovah your Saviour and your Redeemer, Isaiah 49:26; 60:16.

As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, Isaiah 47:4.

Their Redeemer, the mighty Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, Jeremiah 50:34.

Jehovah, my rock and my Redeemer, Psalms 19:14.

Thus spoke Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah your God, Isaiah 48:17; 43:14; 49:7.

Thus spoke Jehovah, your Redeemer; I am Jehovah who makes all things, and I alone by Myself, Isaiah 44:24.

Thus spoke Jehovah, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth; I am the First and the Last, and there is no God beside me, Isaiah 44:6.

You are Jehovah our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name, Isaiah 63:16.

I will take pity with eternal mercy, thus spoke your Redeemer Jehovah, Isaiah 54:8. You had redeemed me, Jehovah of truth, Psalms 31:5.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, for there is mercy with Jehovah, with Him is very much redemption. He shall redeem Israel from all his sins, Psalms 130:7-8.

Jehovah Zebaoth 1 is His name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He shall be called the God of all the earth, Isaiah 54:5.

From these and very many more passages anyone who has eyes, and a mind opened by using his eyes, can see that God, who is one, came down and was made man in order to effect redemption. Can anyone fail to see this as clear as in morning light, so long as he pays attention to those very sayings of God which have been quoted? Those, however, who are plunged in the shades of night as the result of convincing themselves that a second God was born from eternity, and that it was He who came down and redeemed us, close their eyes to those Divine sayings, and ponder with their eyes shut how to pervert them and make them square with their false ideas.
