Jeremias 43

Studie

   

1 At nangyari, na nang si Jeremias ay makatapos ng pagsasalita sa buong bayan ng lahat ng mga salita ng Panginoon nilang Dios, na ipinasugo sa kaniya ng Panginoon nilang Dios sa kanila, sa makatuwid ang lahat ng mga salitang ito;

2 Nagsalita nga kay Jeremias si Azarias na anak ni Osaias, at si Johanan na anak ni Carea, at ang lahat na palalong lalake, na nangagsasabi, Ikaw ay nagsasalita ng kasinungalingan: hindi ka sinugo ng Panginoon nating Dios, na magsabi, Kayo'y huwag magsisiparoon sa Egipto na mangibang bayan doon;

3 Kundi hinikayat ka ni Baruch na anak ni Nerias laban sa amin, upang ibigay kami sa kamay ng mga Caldeo, upang maipapatay nila kami, at mangadala kaming bihag sa Babilonia.

4 Sa gayo'y si Johanan na anak ni Carea, at ang lahat na kapitan sa mga kawal, at ang buong bayan, ay hindi nagsitalima sa tinig ng Panginoon na tumahan sa lupain ng Juda.

5 Kundi kinuha ni Johanan na anak ni Carea, at ng lahat na kapitan sa mga kawal ang buong nalabi sa Juda na nagbalik na mula sa lahat ng mga bansa na pinagtabuyan nila na mangibang bayan sa lupain ng Juda;

6 Ang mga lalake, at ang mga babae, at ang mga bata, at ang mga anak na babae ng hari, at bawa't tao na naiwan ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay na kasama ni Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, na anak ni Saphan, at si Jeremias na propeta, at si Baruch na anak ni Nerias:

7 At sila'y nagsipasok sa lupain ng Egipto; sapagka't hindi nila tinalima ang tinig ng Panginoon: at sila'y nagsiparoon hanggang sa Taphnes.

8 Nang magkagayo'y dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Jeremias sa Taphnes, na nagsasabi,

9 Magtangan ka ng mga malaking bato sa iyong kamay, at iyong kublihan ng argamasa sa nalaladrillohan, na nasa pasukan ng bahay ni Faraon, sa Taphnes sa paningin ng mga tao sa Juda;

10 At iyong sabihin sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Dios ng Israel, Narito, ako'y magsusugo at kukunin ko si Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, na aking lingkod, at aking ilalagay ang kaniyang luklukan sa mga batong ito na aking ikinubli; at kaniyang ilaladlad ang kaniyang pabillong hari sa mga yaon.

11 At siya'y paririto, at kaniyang sasaktan ang lupain ng Egipto; na yaong sa pagkamatay ay mabibigay sa kamatayan, at yaong sa pagkabihag ay sa pagkabihag, at yaong sa tabak ay sa tabak.

12 At ako'y magsisilab ng apoy sa mga bahay ng mga dios ng Egipto; at kaniyang mga susunugin, at sila'y dadalhing bihag: at kaniyang aariin ang lupain ng Egipto na parang pastor na nagaari ng kaniyang kasuutan; at siya'y lalabas na payapa mula riyan.

13 Kaniya ring babaliin ang mga haligi ng Beth-semes na nasa lupain ng Egipto; at ang mga bahay ng mga dios ng Egipto ay susunugin ng apoy.

939. The fact that seeing the Lord's face does not mean seeing His face, but knowing and acknowledging Him as He is in respect to His Divine attributes, of which there are many, and that people conjoined with Him by love know Him and in that way see His face, can be seen from the following passages:

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me... ...When you come to see the face of Jehovah... (Isaiah 1:11-12)

My heart said..., "Seek my face. Your face, Jehovah, I am seeking." (Psalms 27:8)

We will shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His face with confession. (Psalms 95:1-2)

My soul thirsts... for the living God. When shall I come to see the face of God? ...yet shall I confess to Him the salvation of His countenance. (Psalms 42:2, 5)

They shall not see My face empty-handed. (Exodus 23:15)

...to come... to placate the face of Jehovah. (Zechariah 8:21-22, cf. Malachi 1:9)

Make Your face shine upon Your servant. (Psalms 31:16)

Who will show us any good? Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, Jehovah. (Psalms 4:6)

They shall walk, O Jehovah, in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 89:15)

...O God, cause Your face to shine, that we may be saved! (Psalms 80:3, 7, 19)

God be merciful to us and bless us. May He cause His face to shine upon us. (Psalms 67:1)

Jehovah bless you and keep you; Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be merciful to you; Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

You hide them in the secret place of Your countenance... (Psalms 31:20)

You have set... our hidden secret in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 90:8)

(Jehovah) said (to Moses), "My countenance will go... (Moses) said..., "If Your countenance does not go..., do not bring us down from here." (Exodus 33:14-15)

The bread on the table in the Tabernacle was called [literally] "the bread of faces" (Exodus 25:30, Numbers 4:7).

[2] We are often told, too, that Jehovah hid His face or turned His face away, as in the following:

...for (their) wickedness I have hidden My face from (them). (Jeremiah 33:5, cf. Ezekiel 7:22)

Your sins have hidden (God's) face from you... (Isaiah 59:2)

The face of Jehovah... will no longer regard them. (Lamentations 4:16)

(Jehovah) will hide His face from them..., according as they have made their works evil. (Micah 3:4)

You hid Your face... (Psalms 30:7, cf. 44:24; 104:29)

I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them... I will surely hide My face... because of all the evil which they have done... (Deuteronomy 31:17-18)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 8:17; Ezekiel 39:23, 28-29; Deuteronomy 32:20.

[3] In an opposite sense, the face of Jehovah symbolizes anger and aversion, because an evil person turns away from the Lord, and when he turns away, it seems to him as though the Lord had turned away and was angry, as is clear from the following passages:

...I have set My face against this city for its evil... (Jeremiah 21:10, cf. 44:11)

I will set My face against that man and... devastate him... (Ezekiel 14:7-8)

I will set My face against them... and... fire shall devour them..., when I set My face against them. (Ezekiel 15:7)

...(he) who eats any blood, I will set My face against that soul... (Leviticus 17:10)

At the rebuke of Your countenance they perished. (Psalms 80:16)

The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil... (Psalms 34:16)

...I send an angel before you... Beware of his face..., for he will not endure your transgression. (Exodus 23:20-21)

Let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee from Your countenance. (Numbers 10:35)

(I saw one sitting on the throne) from whose face the earth and heaven fled away. (Revelation 20:11)

That no one can see the Lord as He is in Himself, as we said above, is apparent from the following:

(Jehovah said to Moses,) "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live." (Exodus 33:18-23)

That people nevertheless saw the Lord and lived, because He appeared by means of an angel, is apparent from Genesis 32:30, 1 Judges 13:22-23, 2 and elsewhere.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

2. Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God!" But his wife said to him, "If Jehovah had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time."
