Mateo 1

Studie

1 Ang aklat ng lahi ni Jesucristo, na anak ni David, na anak ni Abraham.

2 Naging anak ni Abraham si Isaac; at naging anak ni Isaac si Jacob; at naging anak ni Jacob si Juda at ang kaniyang mga kapatid;

3 At naging anak ni Juda kay Tamar si Fares at si Zara; at naging anak ni Fares si Esrom; at naging anak ni Esrom si Aram;

4 At naging anak ni Aram si Aminadab; at naging anak ni Aminadab si Naason; at naging anak ni Naason si Salmon;

5 At naging anak ni Salmon kay Rahab si Booz; at naging anak ni Booz kay Rut si Obed; at naging anak ni Obed si Jesse.

6 At naging anak ni Jesse ang haring si David; at naging anak ni David si Salomon, doon sa naging asawa ni Urias;

7 At naging anak ni Salomon si Reboam; at naging anak ni Reboam si Abias; at naging anak ni Abias si Asa;

8 At naging anak ni Asa si Josafat; at naging anak ni Josafat si Joram; at naging anak ni Joram si Ozias;

9 At naging anak ni Ozias si Joatam; at naging anak ni Joatam si Acaz; at naging anak ni Acaz si Ezequias;

10 At naging anak ni Ezequias si Manases; at naging anak ni Manases si Amon; at naging anak ni Amon si Josias;

11 At naging anak ni Josias si Jeconias at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, nang panahon ng pagkadalang-bihag sa Babilonia.

12 At pagkatapos nang pagkadalangbihag sa Babilonia, ay naging anak ni Jeconias si Salatiel; at naging anak ni Salatiel si Zorobabel;

13 At naging anak ni Zorobabel si Abiud; at naging anak ni Abiud si Eliaquim; at naging anak ni Eliaquim si Azor;

14 At naging anak ni Azor si Sadoc; at naging anak ni Sadoc si Aquim; at naging anak ni Aquim si Eliud;

15 At naging anak ni Eliud si Eleazar; at naging anak ni Eleazar si Matan; at naging anak ni Matan si Jacob;

16 At naging anak ni Jacob si Jose asawa ni Maria, na siyang nanganak kay Jesus, na siyang tinatawag na Cristo.

17 Sa makatuwid ang lahat ng mga salit-saling lahi buhat kay Abraham hanggang kay David ay labingapat na salit-saling lahi; at buhat kay David hanggang sa pagdalang-bihag sa Babilonia ay labingapat na sali't-saling lahi; at buhat sa pagkadalang-bihag sa Babilonia hanggang kay Cristo ay labingapat na sali't-saling lahi.

18 Ang pagkapanganak nga kay Jesucristo ay ganito: Nang si Maria na kaniyang ina ay magaasawa kay Jose, bago sila magsama ay nasumpungang siya'y nagdadalang-tao sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo.

19 At si Jose na kaniyang asawa, palibhasa'y lalaking matuwid, at ayaw na ihayag sa madla ang kaniyang kapurihan, ay nagpasiyang hiwalayan siya ng lihim.

20 Datapuwa't samantalang pinagiisip niya ito, narito, ang isang anghel ng Panginoon ay napakita sa kaniya sa panaginip, na nagsasabi: Jose, anak ni David, huwag kang mangamba sa pagtanggap kay Maria na iyong asawa: sapagka't ang kaniyang dinadalang-tao ay sa Espiritu Santo.

21 At siya'y manganganak ng isang lalake; at ang pangalang itatawag mo sa kaniya'y JESUS; sapagka't ililigtas niya ang kaniyang bayan sa kanilang mga kasalanan.

22 At nangyari nga ang lahat ng ito, upang maganap ang sinalita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng propeta, na nagsasabi,

23 Narito, ang dalaga'y magdadalang-tao at manganganak ng isang lalake, At ang pangalang itatawag nila sa kaniya ay Emmanuel; na kung liliwanagin, ay sumasa atin ang Dios.

24 At nagbangon si Jose sa kaniyang pagkakatulog, at ginawa niya ang ayon sa ipinagutos sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, at tinanggap ang kaniyang asawa;

25 At hindi nakilala siya hanggang sa maipanganak ang isang lalake: at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang JESUS.

10154. 'And I will be their God' means the Lord's presence and His influx into truth in the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'being their God' as the Lord's presence and His influx into truth - into truth because in the Old Testament Word the Lord is called God where truth is the subject, but Jehovah where good is the subject. This also goes to explain why angels are called gods, because they are recipients of Divine Truth from the Lord, and in addition why in the original language the plural word Elohim is used to denote God; for truths are many but good is one, Matthew 19:16-17.

The Lord is called God where truth is the subject but Jehovah where good is the subject, see 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921, 4287, 4402, 7010, 9167.

Angels are called gods, because they are recipients of Divine Truth from the Lord, 4295, 4402, 7268, 7873, 8192, 8302, 8867, 8941.

In the Word Jehovah means the Lord, see the places referred to in 9373; and in Isaiah He is called explicitly 'Father from eternity' and also 'God',

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder; His name is called, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of peace. Isaiah 9:6.

And in the same prophet,

A virgin will conceive and bear [a son], and His name will be called Immanuel, that is, God with us. Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23.

The meaning of the words here 'I will be their God' as the Lord's presence and His influx into truth is also evident from the fact that 'I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel' means the Lord's presence and His influx through good. For wherever good is the subject in the Word, so too is truth, on account of the heavenly marriage, which is that of goodness and truth, in every single part of the Word, see the places referred to in 9263, 9314.

Arcana Coelestia # 4287

4287. 'For as a prince you have contended with God and with men, and have prevailed' means repeated victories in conflicts over truths and goods. This is clear from the meaning of 'contending as a prince' as overcoming in conflicts, in this case conflicts that accompany temptations since these are the subject at present; and from the meaning of 'with God and with men' as conflicts over truths and goods, to be dealt with below.

[2] The subject in the highest sense being the Lord, it is He who is meant in that sense by 'one contending as a prince with God and with men', for by His own power He suffered all temptations and through them overcame the hells. Indeed He allowed into Himself all the hells in their order, and even the angels, as will be explained later on. In so doing he brought into order everything in the heavens and in the hells, and at length glorified Himself, that is, made the Human within Him Divine.

[3] From this it is evident that in the highest sense the Lord is meant by Jacob and Israel, as shown immediately above in 4286. Not only has He Himself 'contended as a prince', that is, has suffered all the conflicts brought about by temptations and has overcome in them, but also He suffers them in every individual human being. But see what has been stated many times already on these matters in the following references,

The Lord suffered the severest temptations, greater than anybody else has done, 1663, 1668, 1787, 2776, 2786, 2795, 2816.

Unlike any others the Lord fought out of Divine love, 1690, 1691 (end), 1789, 1812, 1813, 1820.

The Lord fought against hereditary evil from the mother, so that at length He was not her son; even so, no evil of His own doing was attached to Him, 1444, 1573, 2025, 2574, 2649, 3318 (end).

Through the conflicts brought about by temptations and through repeated victories the Lord arranged all things into the form which heaven possesses, 1928.

And through repeated victories in conflicts brought about by temptations He united the Divine Essence to the Human Essence, 1616, 1737, 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2500, 2523, 2632, 2776.

The Lord suffers the temptations that take place in man, subduing evil and the hells, 987, 1661, 1692 (end).

[4] The arcanum that 'contending with God and with men' means being tempted over truths and over goods is one that is not open to view in the letter. It is clear to anyone, and will also be evident from the explanation given below, that it was not God with whom Jacob contended, for it cannot be said of anyone that he contends with God and prevails. But the internal sense teaches what 'God' and 'men' mean here - that 'God' means truth, and 'men' good. The reason for this is that 'God' in the internal sense means truth, and therefore whenever truth is dealt with the name God is used, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, whereas the term 'man' is used to mean good. And 'man' means good because the Lord is the only Man and anyone else is called such by virtue of Him, 49, 288, 565, 1894. A further reason is that by virtue of Him heaven is man and is called the Grand Man, 684, 1276, 3624-3649, 3741-3750. And this also was why the Most Ancient Church which was governed by celestial good was referred to as Man, 478.

[5] Therefore whenever good is dealt with in the Word, 'man' (homo) means good, as in Isaiah,

I will make the male person (vir homo) more rare than gold, and man (homo) than the gold of Ophir. Isaiah 13:12.

In the same prophet,

The inhabitants of the land will be scorched and few male persons (vir homo) left. Isaiah 24:6.

'Male persons' stands for spiritual good or the good of truth. 'Man' stands for good. In the same prophet, The highways have been laid waste, the wayfarer has ceased. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he has no regard for the male person (vir homo). Isaiah 33:8.

In Jeremiah,

I looked to the earth, and behold, that which is void and empty, and towards 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.

In the same prophet, behold, the days are coming, said Jehovah, in which 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.

In Ezekiel,

Your merchants [traded] in the souls of men and vessels of bronze, giving these for your merchandise. Ezekiel 27:13.

In the same prophet, You, O my flock, the flock of My pasture, you are men; I am your God. Ezekiel 34:31.

In the same prophet, They will be cities laid waste, filled with the flock of mankind. Ezekiel 36:38.

In these places 'man' (homo) stands for people who are governed by good, and so stands for good, since good is what causes anyone to be 'man'. Truth however which is grounded in good is referred to in the Word as 'a male person' (vir homo) and also as 'the son of man'.
