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.

In Genesis 19:37; 21:26; 30:32; 40:7; Matthew 6:30; Luke 12:28, this signifies the perpetuity and eternity of a state. (Arcana Coelestia 2838)

In Psalm 2:7, this signifies in time; for with Jehovah the future is present. (True Christian Religion 101)

The expression 'even to this day' or 'today' sometimes appears in the Word, as in Genesis 19:37-38, 22:14, 26:33, 32:32, 35:20, and 47:26. In a historical sense, these expressions have respect to the time when Moses lived, but in an internal sense, 'this day' and 'today' signify the perpetuity and eternity of a state. 'Day' denotes state, and likewise 'today,' which is the current time. Anything related to time in the world is eternal in heaven, and to represent this, 'today' or 'to this day' is added. Although, in the historical sense, this appears as if the expressions only have a literal meaning, just like it says in other parts of the Word, such as Joshua 4:9, 6:25, 7:20, Judges 1:21, 26, etc. 'Today' means something perpetual and eternal in Psalms 2:7, 119:89-91, Jeremiah 1:5, 10, 18, Deuteronomy 29:9-14, Numbers 28:3, 23, Daniel 8:13, 11:31, 12:11, Exodus 16:4, 19, 20, 23, John 6:31, 32, 49, 50, 58, Matthew 6:11, and Luke 11:3.

101. (vii) THUS GOD BECAME MAN, AND MAN GOD, IN ONE PERSON.

It follows that Jehovah God became man and man became God in one person as the consequence of all the previous propositions in this chapter, and particularly these two: Jehovah the Creator of the universe came down and took upon Himself human form, in order to redeem and save mankind (see above 82-84); and the Lord by redeeming acts united Himself with the Father, and the Father reciprocally and mutually united Himself with the Lord (see above 97-100). That reciprocal union makes it obvious that God became man and man God in one person. The same consequence follows from the union of each resembling the union of soul and body; this is in agreement with the faith of the church to-day as stated in the Athanasian Creed (98 above). It is also in agreement with the faith of the Evangelical churches as stated in their leading book of orthodoxy known as the Formula of Concord. In this the doctrine is strongly supported both from Holy Scripture and from patristic literature, as well as by arguments, that Christ's human nature was raised to Divine majesty, omnipotence and omnipresence; also that in Christ man is God and God is man (see pp. 607, 765 of that book).

[2] Moreover it has been proved in the present chapter that Jehovah God in respect of His Human is called in the Word Jehovah, Jehovah God, Jehovah Zebaoth 1 , as well as the God of Israel. Therefore Paul says that in Jesus Christ all the fulness of the Godhead dwells bodily (Colossians 2:9); and John says that Jesus Christ the Son of God is the true God and everlasting life (1 John 5:20). The Son of God in its true sense means His Human (92ff above). Moreover Jehovah God calls both Himself and His Son Lord, for we read:

The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, Psalms 110:1.

and in Isaiah:

A child is born for us, a son is given to us, whose name is God, the everlasting Father, Isaiah 9:6-7.

Son also means the Lord in respect of His Human in the Psalms of David:

I will bring news of a decree, said Jehovah. You are my son, to-day have I begotten you. Kiss the son, so that he may not be angry and so that you do not perish on the way, Psalms 2:7, 12.

This does not mean a Son from eternity, but the Son born in the world, for it is a prophecy of the Lord's coming. This is why it is called a decree, news of which Jehovah gave to David. Earlier in that Psalm it says:

I have anointed my King over Zion, Psalms 2:6.

and later:

I will give him the nations for an inheritance, Psalms 2:8.

This proves that 'to-day' does not mean from eternity, but in time, for with Jehovah the future is present.
