Deuteronomio 6

Studie

   

1 Ito nga ang utos, ang mga palatuntunan, at ang mga kahatulan, na iniutos ng Panginoon ninyong Dios na ituro sa inyo, upang inyong magawa sa lupaing inyong paroroonan upang ariin:

2 Na ikaw ay matakot sa Panginoon mong Dios, na iyong ingatan ang lahat niyang mga palatuntunan at ang kaniyang mga utos, na aking iniutos sa iyo, sa iyo, at sa iyong anak, at sa anak ng iyong anak sa lahat ng araw ng iyong buhay; at upang ang iyong mga araw ay lumawig.

3 Dinggin mo nga, Oh Israel, at iyong isagawa upang ikabuti mo, at upang kayo'y dumaming maigi, na gaya ng ipinangako sa iyo ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng iyong mga magulang, sa lupaing binubukalan ng gatas at pulot.

4 Dinggin mo, Oh Israel: ang Panginoon nating Dios ay isang Panginoon:

5 At iyong iibigin ang Panginoon mong Dios ng iyong buong puso, at ng iyong buong kaluluwa, at ng iyong buong lakas.

6 At ang mga salitang ito, na aking iniuutos sa iyo sa araw na ito, ay sasa iyong puso;

7 At iyong ituturo ng buong sikap sa iyong mga anak, at iyong sasalitain tungkol sa kanila pagka ikaw ay nakaupo sa iyong bahay, at pagka ikaw ay lumakad sa daan, at pagka ikaw ay nahihiga at pagka ikaw ay bumabangon.

8 At iyong itatali na pinakatanda sa iyong kamay at mga magiging pinakatali sa iyong noo.

9 At iyong isusulat sa itaas ng pintuan ng iyong bahay at sa iyong mga pintuan-daan.

10 At mangyayari, pagka ipapasok ka ng Panginoon mong Dios sa lupain na kaniyang isinumpa sa iyong mga magulang, kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob, upang ibigay sa iyo; na may malalaki at mabubuting bayan na hindi mo itinayo,

11 At mga bahay na puno ng lahat na mabubuting bagay, na hindi mo pinuno, at mga balong hukay na hindi mo hinukay, mga ubasan at mga puno ng olibo, na hindi mo itinanim, at iyong kakanin at ikaw ay mabubusog;

12 At magingat ka nga, baka iyong malimutan ang Panginoon, na naglabas sa iyo sa lupain ng Egipto, sa bahay ng pagkaalipin.

13 Ikaw ay matakot sa Panginoon mong Dios; at sa kaniya'y maglilingkod ka, at sa pamamagitan lamang ng kaniyang pangalan susumpa ka.

14 Huwag kang susunod sa ibang mga dios, sa mga dios ng mga bansang nasa palibot mo;

15 Sapagka't ang Panginoon mong Dios na nasa gitna mo, ay isang mapanibughuing Dios; baka ang galit ng Panginoon mong Dios ay magalab laban sa iyo, at ikaw ay kaniyang lipulin sa ibabaw ng lupa.

16 Huwag ninyong tutuksuhin ang Panginoon ninyong Dios, gaya ng tuksuhin ninyo siya sa Massah.

17 Inyong iingatan ng buong sikap ang mga utos ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, at ang kaniyang mga patotoo, at ang kaniyang mga palatuntunan, na kaniyang iniutos sa iyo.

18 At iyong gagawin ang matuwid at mabuti sa paningin ng Panginoon: upang ikabuti mo, at upang iyong mapasok at ariin ang mabuting lupain na isinumpa ng Panginoon sa iyong mga magulang,

19 Upang palayasin ang lahat ng iyong mga kaaway sa harap mo, gaya ng sinalita ng Panginoon.

20 Pagka tatanungin ka ng iyong anak sa panahong darating, na sasabihin: Anong kahulugan ng mga patotoo, at ng mga palatuntunan, at ng mga kahatulan, na iniutos sa inyo ng Panginoon nating Dios?

21 Ay iyo ngang sasabihin sa iyong anak: Kami ay naging mga alipin ni Faraon sa Egipto, at inilabas kami ng Panginoon sa Egipto sa pamamagitan ng makapangyarihang kamay.

22 At ang Panginoon ay nagpakita ng mga tanda at ng mga kababalaghan, dakila at panggiba, sa Egipto, kay Faraon, at sa kaniyang buong sangbahayan, sa harap ng aming mga mata:

23 At kami ay inilabas niya roon, na kaniyang ipinasok kami rito, upang ibigay sa amin ang lupain na kaniyang isinumpa sa ating mga magulang.

24 At iniutos ng Panginoon sa amin na gawin ang lahat ng mga palatuntunang ito, na matakot sa Panginoon nating Dios, sa ikabubuti natin kailan man, upang ingatan niya tayong buhay, gaya sa araw na ito.

25 At siya'y magiging katuwiran sa atin, kung ating isagawa ang buong utos na ito sa harap ng Panginoon nating Dios, gaya ng iniutos niya sa atin.

Apocalypse Explained # 639

/ 1232  
  

639. Standing before the God of the earth, signifies which are the Divine things proceeding from the Lord, and are His in heaven and in the church. This is evident from the signification of "the God of the earth," as being the Lord, who is the God of heaven and earth, and particularly the God of the church in heaven and in the world; for in the Word "the earth" signifies the church, and the church is both in heaven and in the world. "The earth" means heaven and also the church there, because there are lands in the spiritual world, like as in the natural world, and in external appearance they are altogether similar in that world as in this; this is why "the God of the earth" means the God of heaven and earth, and particularly the God of the church in heaven and in the world. That the Lord is the God of heaven and earth He Himself teaches in Matthew:

Jesus said, All power hath been given unto Me in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18).

The above is evident also from the signification of "standing before Him," as meaning the being [esse] from Him, and thus what is His in heaven and in the church.

[2] In the Word it is here and there said of angels and of the men of the church that "they stand before God," also that "they walk before Him," and in the spiritual sense "to stand before God" signifies being from Him, and "to walk before God" signifies to live according to being [esse] from Him; for all the being [esse] of heaven and the world proceeds from the Lord; for it is the Divine proceeding that has created and formed all things of heaven and the world; this Divine proceeding is called "the Word" in John 1:1-3; and "the Word" there is the Divine proceeding, which is called Divine truth, from which all things were made and created. Because this extends itself in every direction about the Lord as a sun, it is properly said "to stand before Him," for it looks to the Lord as its common center, from every quarter and from every boundary. This is, in its essence, the Lord in heaven, for it is the Divine proceeding, and that which proceeds is of Him from whom it proceeds, and indeed is Himself; just as the heat and light that proceed from the sun are of the sun. For this reason all angels, who are recipients of this Divine proceeding, which is called Divine truth, turn themselves to the Lord, and thus are continually in His presence; for, as was said, the Divine proceeding looks to the Lord as its center from which it is and to which it looks; so also do the angels, who are the recipients of Divine truths, and are as it were Divine truths in form. This is why angels are said "to stand before the Lord," for "to stand" is properly predicated of Divine truth, because this stands about the Lord as a sun.

[3] "To stand before God" signifies to be in Divine truth, and thus with the Lord, also in the following passages. In Luke:

The angel said, I am Gabriel, that standeth before God (Luke 1:19).

In the first book of Kings:

I saw Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the hosts of the heavens standing beside Him on His right hand and on His left (1 Kings 22:19).

In Jeremiah:

There shall not be cut off from Jonadab a man to stand before Me all the days (Jeremiah 35:19).

In David:

On my right hand standeth the queen in the best gold of Ophir (Psalms 45:9).

In Luke:

Be ye wakeful at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to stand before the Son of man (Luke 21:36).

In Revelation:

The great day of His anger is come, and who is able to stand? (Revelation 6:17)

All the angels stood around the throne, and the elders and the four animals (Revelation 7:11).

I saw the seven angels who stood before God (Revelation 8:2).

In Zechariah:

The two olive trees and two berries of olives, which are the two sons of the olive tree standing beside the Lord of the whole earth (Zechariah 4:11, 12, 14).

And in other places. It is also said of the Lord Himself that "He stood to judge," because it is said of the Divine proceeding from the Lord, which is called the Divine truth, for judgment is from it. Thus it is said in Isaiah:

Jehovah hath stood up to plead, and standeth to judge (Isaiah 3:13).

And in David:

God stood in the congregation of God, in the midst of the gods He will judge (Psalms 82:1.)

"The congregation of God," and the "gods" in the midst of whom Jehovah stood, mean the angels, by whom in the spiritual sense Divine truths are signified; and because the Lord in heaven is the Divine truth He is here said "to stand." This makes clear that "to stand before the God of the earth" signifies the Divine proceeding from the Lord, which is His in heaven and in the church; that this, and those who are in this, are meant can be seen also from this, "to stand before the God of the earth" is predicated of "the two olive trees" and "the two lampstands," and these signify good and truth, and thus the Divine proceeding. (See also in the preceding article, n. 638)
