13
Kayo ang asin ng lupa: nguni't kung ang asin ay tumabang, ay ano ang ipagpapaalat? wala nang ano pa mang kabuluhan, kundi upang itapon sa labas at yurakan ng mga tao.
Mateo 5:13
Apocalypse Explained # 341
341. Verse 13. And every created thing that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those that are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Unto Him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb, be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might unto the ages of the ages.
13. "And every created thing that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those that are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying" signifies the acknowledgment and consequent glorification of the Lord by the angels that are in the lowest parts of heaven n. 342; "Unto Him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb" signifies the Lord in respect to Divine good and Divine truth n. 343; "blessing" signifies acknowledgment, glorification, and thanksgiving that all good and truth, and thence heaven and eternal happiness, are for those who receive (n. 344); "and the honor and the glory," signifies that to Him alone belongs every Divine good and Divine truth, and therefore, every good of love and truth of faith, from which is all the wisdom and intelligence that angels and men have (n. 345); "and the might unto the ages of the ages," signifies that to Him belongs omnipotence to eternity (n. 346).
Psalms 128
1
Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.
2
For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4
Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Yahweh.
5
May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6
Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel. A Song of Ascents.
