Ezekiel 36

Studie

   

1 At ikaw, anak ng tao, manghula ka laban sa mga bundok ng Israel, at sabihin mo, Kayong mga bundok ng Israel, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon.

2 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: sapagka't sinabi ng kaaway sa inyo, Aha! at, Ang dating mga mataas na dako ay aming pag-aari;

3 Kaya't manghula ka, at iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sapagka't, sa makatuwid baga'y sapagka't kanilang ginawang sira kayo, at nadaig kayo sa lahat ng dako, upang kayo'y maging pag-aari ng nalabi sa mga bansa, at kayo'y nabanggit ng mga labi ng mga mangdadaldal, at masamang ulat ng bayan;

4 Kaya't kayong mga bundok ng Israel, inyong pakinggan ang salita ng Panginoong Dios: Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa mga bundok at sa mga burol, sa mga daan ng tubig at sa mga libis, sa mga sirang dako at sa mga bayan na nangapabayaan, na mga naging samsam at kakutyaan na nalabi sa mga bansa na nangasa palibot;

5 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Tunay na sa silakbo ng aking paninibugho ay nagsalita ako laban sa nalabi sa mga bansa, at laban sa buong Edom, na nagtakda ng aking lupain sa kanilang sarili na pag-aari na may kagalakan ng buo nilang puso, na may sama ng loob, upang ihagis na pinakasamsam.

6 Kaya't manghula ka tungkol sa lupain ng Israel, at sabihin mo sa mga bundok at sa mga burol, sa mga daan ng tubig at sa mga libis, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, ako'y nagsalita sa aking paninibugho at sa aking kapusukan, sapagka't inyong tinaglay ang kahihiyan ng mga bansa.

7 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Aking itinaas ang aking kamay, na aking sinasabi, Tunay na ang mga bansa na nangasa palibot ninyo, mangagtataglay sila ng malaking kahihiyan.

8 Nguni't, kayo, Oh mga bundok ng Israel, inyong isusupling ang inyong mga sanga, at magbubunga sa aking bayang Israel; sapagka't sila'y malapit nang dumating.

9 Sapagka't, narito, ako'y sa inyo, at ako'y babalik sa inyo, at kayo'y mabubukid at mahahasikan;

10 At ako'y magpaparami ng mga tao sa inyo, buong sangbahayan ni Israel, sa makatuwid baga'y siyang lahat; at ang mga bayan ay tatahanan, at ang mga sirang dako ay mangatatayo;

11 At ako'y magpaparami sa inyo ng tao at hayop; at sila'y magsisidami at mangagkakaanak: at aking patatahanin kayo ayon sa inyong dating kalagayan, at gagawan ko kayo ng magaling kay sa una: at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

12 Oo, aking palalakarin sa inyo ang mga tao, sa makatuwid baga'y ang aking bayang Israel; at kanilang aariin ka, at ikaw ay magiging kanilang mana, at hindi mo na sila wawalaan ng mga anak.

13 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sapagka't kanilang sinasabi sa iyo, Ikaw na lupain ay manglalamon nga ng mga tao, at naging mapagpahirap sa iyong bansa;

14 Kaya't hindi ka na manglalamon pa ng mga tao o papatay pa man sa iyong bansa, sabi ng Panginoong Dios;

15 O iparirinig ko pa man sa iyo ang kahihiyan ng mga bansa, o magtataglay ka pa man ng kakutyaan ng mga bayan, o ititisod mo pa man ang iyong bansa, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

16 Bukod dito'y dumating sa akin ang salita ng Panginoon, na nagsasabi,

17 Anak ng tao, nang tumatahan ang sangbahayan ni Israel sa kanilang sariling lupain, kanilang inihawa ng kanilang lakad at ng kanilang mga gawa: ang kanilang lakad sa harap ko ay naging parang karumihan ng babae sa kaniyang kapanahunan.

18 Kaya't aking ibinugso ang aking kapusukan sa kanila dahil sa dugo na kanilang ibinubo sa lupain, at dahil sa kanilang nilapastangan ng kanilang mga diosdiosan;

19 At aking pinangalat sila sa mga bansa, at sila'y nagsipanabog sa mga lupain: ayon sa kanilang lakad at ayon sa kanilang mga gawa ay hinatulan ko sila.

20 At nang sila'y dumating sa mga bansa, na kanilang pinaroonan, kanilang nilapastangan ang aking banal na pangalan; sa pagsasabi ng mga tao tungkol sa kanila, Ang mga ito ay bayan ng Panginoon, at nagsilabas sa kaniyang lupain.

21 Nguni't iginalang ko ang aking banal na pangalan, na nilapastangan ng sangbahayan ni Israel sa mga bansa na kanilang pinaroonan.

22 Kaya't sabihin mo sa sangbahayan ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios; Hindi ko ginawa ito dahil sa inyo, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, kundi dahil sa aking banal na pangalan, na inyong nilapastangan sa mga bansa na inyong pinaroonan.

23 At aking babanalin ang aking dakilang pangalan, na nalapastangan sa mga bansa, na inyong nilapastangan sa gitna nila; at malalaman ng mga bansa na ako ang Panginoon, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, pagka ako'y aariing banal sa inyo sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.

24 Sapagka't aking kukunin kayo sa mga bansa, at pipisanin ko kayo na mula sa lahat ng lupain, at dadalhin ko kayo sa inyong sariling lupain.

25 At ako'y magwiwisik ng malinis na tubig sa inyo, at kayo'y magiging malinis: sa buo ninyong karumihan, at sa lahat ninyong mga diosdiosan, lilinisin ko kayo.

26 Bibigyan ko rin naman kayo ng bagong puso, at lalagyan ko ang loob ninyo ng bagong diwa; at aking aalisin ang batong puso sa inyong katawan, at aking bibigyan kayo ng pusong laman.

27 At aking ilalagay ang aking Espiritu sa loob ninyo, at palalakarin ko kayo ng ayon sa aking mga palatuntunan, at inyong iingatan ang aking mga kahatulan, at isasagawa.

28 At kayo'y magsisitahan sa lupain na ibinigay ko sa inyong mga magulang; at kayo'y magiging aking bayan, at ako'y magiging inyong Dios.

29 At lilinisin ko kayo sa lahat ninyong karumihan: at aking patutubuin ang trigo, at aking pararamihin, at hindi na ako magpaparating ng kagutom sa inyo.

30 At aking pararamihin ang bunga ng punong kahoy, at ang ani sa bukid, upang huwag na kayong tumanggap pa ng kadustaan ng kagutom sa mga bansa.

31 Kung magkagayo'y inyong maaalaala ang inyong mga masamang lakad, at ang inyong mga gawa na hindi mabuti; at kayo'y mayayamot sa inyong sarili sa inyong paninging sarili, dahil sa inyong mga kasamaan at dahil sa inyong mga kasuklamsuklam.

32 Hindi dahil sa inyo ginagawa ko ito, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, tantuin ninyo: kayo'y mangahiya at mangalito dahil sa inyong mga lakad, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel.

33 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sa araw na aking linisin kayo sa lahat ninyong kasamaan, aking patatahanan ang mga bayan, at ang mga gibang dako ay mangatatayo.

34 At ang lupain na naging sira ay mabubukid, na naging sira sa paningin ng lahat na nangagdaraan.

35 At kanilang sasabihin, Ang lupaing ito na naging sira ay naging gaya ng halamanan ng Eden; at ang sira at giba at wasak na mga bayan ay nakukutaan at tinatahanan.

36 Kung magkagayo'y malalaman ng mga bansa na nalabi sa palibot ninyo na akong Panginoon ay nagtayo ng mga guhong dako, at tinamnan ko ang dakong sira: akong Panginoon ang nagsalita, at aking gagawin.

37 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Bukod dito pa'y pagsasanggunian ako ng sangbahayan ni Israel, upang gawin sa kanila; ako'y magpaparami sa kanila ng tao na parang kawan.

38 Kung paano ang kawan na panghain, kung paano ang kawan ng Jerusalem sa kanilang mga takdang kapistahan, gayon mapupuno ang mga gibang bayan ng mga kawan ng mga tao: at kanilang malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

477. 'Man' is the Most Ancient Church. This has been stated and shown quite often already, for in the highest sense the Lord Himself alone is Man. From this the celestial Church, being the likeness of Him, is referred to as 'Man', and then from this the spiritual Church is so called because it was an image of Him. But in a general sense everyone is called man who has human understanding, for a person is man, one person more so than the next, by virtue of his understanding. Nevertheless one person ought to be distinguished from the next according to faith inherent in love to the Lord.

[2] The Most Ancient Church, and every true Church, and so people who belong to the Church, that is, who do so by virtue of love to the Lord and of faith in Him, are pre-eminently called 'Man'. This is clear from the Word, as in Ezekiel,

I will cause man to multiply upon you, the whole house of Israel, all of it. I will cause man and beast to multiply upon you so that they multiply and are fruitful, and I will resettle you 1 to be as in your ancient times, and I will do more good than in your early days. I will cause man to walk upon you, even My people Israel. Ezekiel 36:10-12.

Here the Most Ancient Church is meant by 'earliest times', the Ancient Churches by 'early days', and the Primitive Church, or Church among gentiles, by 'the house of Israel' and 'the people of Israel', all of which Churches are called Man.

[3] In Moses,

Remember the days of old, understand the years of generation after generation. When the Most High gave to the nations an inheritance, when He separated the sons of man, He fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. Deuteronomy 32:7-8.

Here the Most Ancient Church is meant by 'the days of old' and the Ancient Churches by 'generation after generation'. Those people are called 'sons of man' whose faith was in the Lord, which faith is 'the number of the sons of Israel'. A regenerate person is called 'man' in Jeremiah,

I looked to the earth, and behold, a void and an emptiness, and at the heavens, and they had no light. I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the air' had flown away. Jeremiah 4:23, 25.

Here 'earth' stands for the external man, 'heaven' for the internal man; 'man' stands for a love of good, and 'the birds of the air' 2 for an understanding of truth.

[4] In the same prophet,

Behold, the days are coming when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. Jeremiah 31:27.

Here 'man' stands for the internal man, 'beast' for the external man. In Isaiah,

Turn yourselves away from the man in whose nostrils there is breath, 2 for of what account is he? Isaiah 2:22.

'Man' stands for the member of the Church. In the same prophet,

Jehovah will remove man far away, and there will be many forsaken places in the midst of the land. Isaiah 6:12.

This refers to the vastation of man, so that good and truth are no more. In the same prophet,

The inhabitants of the land will be scorched and few men (homo) left. Isaiah 14:6.

Here 'men' (homo) stands for people who have faith. In the same prophet,

The highways have been laid waste, the wayfarer has ceased. He has made the covenant worthless, despised cities, had no regard for man; the land mourns and languishes. Isaiah 33:8-9.

This stands for the man who in Hebrew is Enosh. In the same prophet,

I will make a man (homo) more precious than pure gold, and a man (homo) than the gold of Ophir. Therefore I will jolt heaven, and the earth will be shaken out of its place. Isaiah 13:12-13.

The first reference to 'a man' here is Enosh, but the second is Adam.

Deuteronomy 31

Studie

   

1 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

2 He said to them, "I am one hundred twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: and Yahweh has said to me, 'You shall not go over this Jordan.'

3 Yahweh your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them: [and] Joshua, he shall go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

4 Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.

5 Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

6 Be strong and courageous, don't be afraid, nor be scared of them: for Yahweh your God, he it is who does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you."

7 Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous: for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.

8 Yahweh, he it is who does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: don't be afraid, neither be dismayed."

9 Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel.

10 Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of [every] seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tents,

11 when all Israel is come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and your foreigner who is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;

13 and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it."

14 Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him." Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.

15 Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.

16 Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, 'Haven't these evils come on us because our God is not among us?'

18 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.

19 "Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

21 It shall happen, when many evils and troubles are come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore."

22 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

23 He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, "Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you."

24 It happened, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

25 that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,

26 "Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.

27 For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; and how much more after my death?

28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you will do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands."

30 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
