Zacarias 13

Studie

   

1 Sa araw na yaon ay mabubuksan ang isang bukal sa sangbahayan ni David at sa mga mananahan sa Jerusalem, sa kasalanan, at sa karumihan.

2 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na aking ihihiwalay sa lupain ang mga pangalan ng mga diosdiosan, at sila'y hindi na mangaaalaala pa; at aking palalayasin naman ang mga propeta at ang karumaldumal na espiritu sa lupain.

3 At mangyayari, na pagka ang sinoman ay manghuhula, sasabihin nga sa kaniya ng kaniyang ama at ng kaniyang ina na nanganak sa kaniya, Ikaw ay hindi mabubuhay; sapagka't ikaw ay nagsasalita ng kabulaanan sa pangalan ng Panginoon; at palalagpasan siya ng kaniyang ama at ng kaniyang ina na nanganak sa kaniya samantalang siya'y nanghuhula.

4 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon na ang mga propeta ay mangahihiya bawa't isa dahil sa kaniyang pangitain, pagka siya'y nanghuhula; hindi man sila mangagsusuot ng kasuutang balahibo, upang mangdaya:

5 Kundi kaniyang sasabihin, Ako'y hindi propeta, ako'y mangbubukid sa lupa; sapagka't ako'y pinapaging alipin mula sa aking pagkabinata.

6 At sasabihin ng isa sa kaniya, Ano ang mga sugat na ito sa pagitan ng iyong mga bisig? Kung magkagayo'y siya'y sasagot, Iyan ang mga naging sugat ko sa bahay ng aking mga kaibigan.

7 Gumising ka, Oh tabak, laban sa pastor ko, at laban sa lalake na aking kasama, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo: saktan mo ang pastor at ang mga tupa ay mangangalat; at aking ipipihit ang aking kamay laban sa mga maliit.

8 At mangyayari, na sa buong lupain, sabi ng Panginoon, dalawang bahagi ay mahihiwalay at mamamatay; nguni't ang ikatlo ay maiiwan.

9 At aking dadalhin ang ikatlong bahagi sa apoy, at sila'y dadalisayin ko na parang pilak na dalisay, at sila'y susubukin ko na parang pagsubok sa ginto. Sila'y magsisitawag sa aking pangalan, at akin silang didinggin: aking sasabihin, Siya'y bayan ko; at kanilang sasabihin, Ang Panginoon ay aking Dios.

190. The person who thinks like this fails to reflect that the Lord Jehovah, who is the God of heaven and earth, uttered the Word by means of Moses and the Prophets, and consequently it cannot be anything but Divine truth. For this is what everything is that the Lord Jehovah Himself speaks. He fails too to reflect that the Lord the Saviour, who is the same as Jehovah, uttered the Word in the Gospels, much of it from His own lips, and the remainder by the spirit of His mouth, which is the Holy Spirit, through His twelve Apostles. This is why, as He Himself says, His words contain spirit and life, and why He is the light that enlightens, and why He is truth. This is plain from the following passages:

Jesus said, The words which I speak to you are spirit and life, John 6:63. Jesus said to the woman at Jacob's well, if you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, Give me a drink, you would ask him, and he would give you living water. He who drinks of the water which I shall give, will never thirst, but the water which I shall give will become a well of water springing up in him to give everlasting life, John 4:6, 10, 14.

'Jacob's well' means the Word, as it also does in Deuteronomy 33:28. That is why the Lord, being the Word, sat down there, and talked with the woman. 'Living water' means the truth of the Word.

Jesus said, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and drink. If anyone believes in me, as the scripture says, streams of living water will flow from his belly, John 7:37-38.

Peter said to Jesus, You have the words of everlasting life, John 6:68. Jesus said, Heaven and earth will pass away; my words will not pass away, Mark 13:31.

The reason why the Lord's words are truth and life is that He is truth and life, as He teaches in John:

I am the way, truth and life, John 14:6.

In the same Gospel:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men, John 1:1-4.

The Word means the Lord in respect of Divine truth, in which alone there is life and light. That is why the Word, which is from the Lord and is the Lord, is called 'a spring of living waters' (Jeremiah 2:13; 17:13; 31:9), 'a spring of deliverance' (Isaiah 12:3), 'a spring' (Zechariah 13:1) and 'a river of the water of life' (Revelation 22:1); and it is said that 'the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, [and bring them] to living springs of water' (Revelation 7:17). There are other passages too where the Word is called a 'sanctuary' and 'tabernacle 1 ' in which the Lord dwells with man.
