Haggai 1

Studie

1 Nang ikalawang taon ni Dario na hari, nang ikaanim na buwan, nang unang araw ng buwan, dumating ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Hagai na propeta kay Zorobabel na anak ni Sealtiel, na gobernador sa Juda, at kay Josue na anak ni Josadac na dakilang saserdote, na nagsasabi,

2 Ganito ang sinasalita ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na sinasabi, ang bayang ito'y nagsasabi, Hindi pa dumarating ang panahon, ang panahon ng pagtatayo ng bahay sa Panginoon.

3 Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Hagai na propeta, na nagsasabi,

4 Panahon baga sa inyo na tumahan sa inyong mga nakikisamihang bahay, samantalang ang bahay na ito ay namamalaging wasak?

5 Ngayon nga'y ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Gunitain ninyo ang inyong mga lakad.

6 Kayo'y nangaghasik ng marami, at nagsisiani ng kaunti; kayo'y nagsisikain, nguni't hindi kayo nagkaroon ng kahustuhan; kayo'y nagsisiinom, nguni't hindi kayo nangapapatirang-uhaw; kayo'y nangananamit, nguni't walang mainit; at yaong kumikita ng mga pinagarawan ay kumikita ng mga pinagarawan upang ilagay sa supot na may mga butas.

7 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Gunitain ninyo ang inyong mga lakad.

8 Magsiahon kayo sa bundok, at mangagdala ng kahoy, at mangagtayo kayo ng bahay; at aking kalulugdan, at ako'y luluwalhati, sabi ng Panginoon.

9 Kayo'y nangaghintay ng marami, at, narito, ang dumating ay kaunti; at nang inyong dalhin sa bahay, aking hinipan. Bakit? sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo. Dahil sa ang aking bahay ay nahahandusay na wasak, samantalang tumatakbo bawa't isa sa inyo sa kanikaniyang sariling bahay.

10 Kaya't dahil sa inyo, pinipigil ng langit ang hamog, at ipinagkakait ng lupa ang kaniyang bunga.

11 At ako'y nagpasapit ng pagkatuyo sa lupa, at sa mga bundok, at sa trigo, at sa alak, at sa langis, at sa sumisibol sa lupa, at sa mga tao, at sa baka, at sa lahat ng pinagpagalan ng mga kamay.

12 Nang magkagayo'y si Zorobabel na anak ni Sealtiel, at si Josue na anak ni Josadac, na pangulong saserdote, sangpu ng buong nalabi sa bayan, nagsitalima sa tinig ng Panginoon nilang Dios, at sa mga salita ni Hagai na propeta, na siyang sinugo ng Panginoon nilang Dios; at ang bayan ay natakot sa harap ng Panginoon.

13 Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita si Hagai, na sugo ng Panginoon ayon sa pasugo ng Panginoon sa bayan, na nagsasabi, Ako'y sumasainyo, sabi ng Panginoon.

14 At kinilos ng Panginoon ang kalooban ni Zorobabel na anak ni Sealtiel, na gobernador sa Juda, at ang kalooban ni Josue na anak ni Josadac na pangulong saserdote, at ang kalooban ng buong nalabi sa bayan; at sila'y nagsiparoon, at nagsigawa sa bahay ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na kanilang Dios,

15 Nang ikadalawang pu't apat na araw ng buwan, nang buwang ikaanim, nang ikalawang taon ni Dario na hari.

Joshua

  
Joshua commanding the sun to stand still, by John Martin

Initially, Joshua represents truth from the Bible fighting against evil, assisting Moses. Joshua then takes on this complete representation when Moses dies. When a person decides to leave behind what is merely natural and looks for something deeper, that person might find something he didn't expect. His or her mind is populated by selfish loves that don't want to think internally about heavenly love. Though the person can subdue these, he or she must fight to do what's right, and finds that they are never fully conquered so as to be absolutely gone. Joshua continues to represent the truths from the Bible that we know and that we use to fight against the evils in ourselves. All the wars in the Bible represent this same battle.

In Exodus 17:9, he signifies fighting truth. (Arcana Coelestia 8595)

In Exodus 32:17, he later signifies the truth of the Word surveying and observing. (Arcana Coelestia 10454)

(Odkazy: Exodus 17; Matthew 10, 10:35, Matthew 10:36)

10454. 'And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted' means contemplating and discerning what the interiors of that nation were like. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing' as contemplating and discerning, for the subject now is what that nation was like inwardly, thus what their interiors were like; from the representation of 'Joshua' as the truth of the Word contemplating and discerning (he was Moses' minister, and Moses represented the Word, as shown above, so that his minister represents truth, for all truth belongs to the Word, at this point truth that contemplates, examines, and discerns); and from the meaning of 'the noise of the people as they shouted' as what that nation was like inwardly, thus what their interiors were like. In the Word 'noise' or 'voice' means the inner voice, which is thought, consequently what the interiors are like as regards either truth or falsity, for the one or the other gives rise to the thought, see 219, 220, 3563, 7573, 8813, 9926. But 'shouting' means the utterance of sound, whether that of speaking, singing, or crying out, which emanates from thought or the inner voice. So it is that 'hearing the noise of shouting' means discerning what the interiors are like from the sound that indicates it. For the sound, whether that of speaking, singing, or crying out, emanates from inner affection and thought, both of which are present within the sound and are also discerned by those who listen to it and think about it, to see for example whether it is angry, threatening, friendly, gentle, joyful, gloomy, and so on. In the next life such discernment is so sharp that angels can discern what someone's interiors are like from the sound of just one of the words he uses. This then is what 'hearing the noise of the people as they shouted' is used to mean.
