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.

7268. 'See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh' means the law of God and the power it has over those steeped in falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'making you a god' as Divine Truth, or what amounts to the same thing, the Divine Law, and also the power it has, for in the Word when truth and also the power of truth are referred to the name 'God' appears, but when good is referred to the name 'Jehovah' does so, see 300, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3910, 3921 (end), 4287, 4295, 4402, 7010; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who are steeped in falsities and engage in molestation, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683. To pursue further the meaning of GOD, it should be recognized that in the highest sense 'God' is the Divine which is above the heavens, but that in the internal sense 'God' is the Divine which is within the heavens. The Divine which is above the heavens is Divine Good, whereas the Divine within the heavens is Divine Truth. For Divine Good is the source from which Divine Truth springs, and Divine Truth springing from Divine Good makes heaven and brings order into it. What is properly called heaven is nothing other than the Divine that has been given form there, for the angels in heaven are human forms receptive of the Divine, which together constitute an all-embracing form which is that of a Human Being.

[2] The use of 'God' in the Old Testament Word to mean Divine Truth within the heavens explains why the word for God in the original language is Elohim, a plural form. It also explains why the angels in heaven, being receivers of Divine Truth, are called 'gods', as in David,

Who in heaven will compare himself to Jehovah? Who will be likened to Jehovah among the sons of gods? Psalms 89:6-8.

In the same author,

Give to Jehovah, O sons of gods, give to Jehovah glory and strength. Psalms 29:1.

In the same author,

I said, You are gods, and sons of the Most High, all of you. Psalms 82:6.

In John,

Jesus said, Is it not written in your Law, I said, You are gods? If 1 He called them gods, with whom the Word of God came to be . . . John 10:34-35.

In addition there are those places in which the Lord is called 'God of gods' and 'Lord of lords', such as Genesis 46:2, 7; Deuteronomy 10:17; Numbers 16:22; Daniel 11:36; Psalms 136:2-3. From all this one may see in what sense Moses is called 'a god', here 'a god to Pharaoh' and in Exodus 4:16 'a god to Aaron' - that he was called such because Moses represented the Divine Law, which is Divine Truth and is called the Word. This also explains why here Aaron is called his 'prophet', and in a previous place his 'mouth', that is, one who declares in a way suitable for the understanding Divine Truth which comes forth directly from the Lord and surpasses all understanding And since a prophet is one who teaches and declares Divine Truth in a way suitable for the understanding, 'a prophet' also means the teachings of the Church, a subject dealt with in what follows next.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Reading si (if) which accords with the Greek and which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse, for sic (thus).
