Jeremiáše 33

Lernen

   

1 Potom stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi po druhé, když ještě zavřín byl v síni stráže, řkoucí:

2 Takto praví Hospodin, kterýž učiní to, Hospodin, kterýž sformuje to, potvrdí toho, Hospodin jméno jeho:

3 Volej ke mně, a ohlásímť se, a oznámímť věci veliké a tajné, o nichž nevíš.

4 Nebo takto praví Hospodin, Bůh Izraelský, o domích města tohoto, a o domích králů Judských, kteříž zkaženi býti mají berany válečnými a mečem:

5 Potáhnouť k boji proti Kaldejským, ale aby naplnili tyto domy mrtvými těly lidskými, kteréž zbiji v hněvě svém a v prchlivosti své, pro jejichž všelikou nešlechetnost skryl jsem tvář svou od města tohoto.

6 Aj, já zopravuji je a vzdělám, a uzdravím obyvatele, a zjevím jim hojnost pokoje, a to stálého.

7 Nebo přivedu zase zajaté Judské a zajaté Izraelské, a vzdělám je jako prvé,

8 A očistím je od všeliké nepravosti jejich, kterouž hřešili proti mně, a odpustím všecky nepravosti jejich, kterýmiž hřešili proti mně, a jimiž zpronevěřovali se mně.

9 A toť mi bude k jménu, k radosti, k chvále, a k zvelebení mezi všemi národy země, kteříž uslyší o všem tom dobrém, kteréž já jim učiním, a děsíce se, třásti se budou nade vším tím dobrým a nade vším pokojem tím, kterýž já jim způsobím.

10 Takto praví Hospodin: Na tomto místě, o kterémž vy říkáte: Popléněno jest, tak že není ani člověka ani žádného hovada v městech Judských a na ulicích Jeruzalémských zpustlých, tak že není žádného člověka, ani žádného obyvatele, ani žádného hovada,

11 Ještěť bude slýchán hlas radosti a hlas veselé, hlas ženicha a hlas nevěsty, hlas řkoucích: Oslavujte Hospodina zástupů, nebo dobrý jest Hospodin, nebo na věky milosrdenství jeho, a obětujících díkčinění v domě Hospodinově, když zase přivedu zajaté země této jako na počátku, praví Hospodin.

12 Takto praví Hospodin zástupů: Na místě tomto popléněném, tak že není žádného člověka ani hovada, i ve všech městech jeho bude ještě obydlé pastýřů, kdež by chovali stáda.

13 V městech při horách, v městech na rovinách a v městech v straně polední, tolikéž v zemi Beniaminově a vůkol Jeruzaléma, i v městech Judských, ještě procházívati budou stáda skrze ruce počítajícího, praví Hospodin.

14 Aj, dnové jdou, dí Hospodin, v nichž vykonám slovo to výborné, kteréž jsem mluvil o domu Izraelovu a o domu Judovu.

15 V těch dnech a za času toho způsobím to, aby zrostl Davidovi výstřelek spravedlivý, kterýž konati bude soud a spravedlnost na zemi.

16 V těch dnech spasen bude Juda, a Jeruzalém bydliti bude bezpečně, a toť jest, což jemu přivolá Hospodin, spravedlnost naše.

17 Nebo takto praví Hospodin: Nebudeť vypléněn muž z rodu Davidova, ješto by neseděl na stolici domu Judského.

18 Z kněží také Levítských nebude vypléněn muž od tváři mé, ješto by neobětoval zápalu, a zapaloval suchou obět, a obětoval obět po všecky dny.

19 Potom stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi, řkoucí:

20 Takto praví Hospodin: Jestliže budete moci zrušiti smlouvu mou se dnem, a smlouvu mou s nocí, aby nebývalo dne ani noci časem svým:

21 Takéť smlouva má zrušena bude s Davidem služebníkem mým, aby neměl syna, kterýž by kraloval na stolici jeho, a s Levítskými kněžími, aby nebyli služebníky mými.

22 A jakož nemůže sečteno býti vojsko nebeské, ani změřen býti písek mořský, tak rozmnožím símě Davida služebníka svého, a Levítů mně přisluhujících.

23 Opět stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi, řkoucí:

24 Což nesoudíš, co lid tento mluví, říkaje: Že dvojí čeled, kterouž byl vyvolil Hospodin, již ji zavrhl, a lidem mým že pohrdají, jako by nebyl více národem před oblíčejem jejich.

25 Takto praví Hospodin: Nebude-liť smlouva má se dnem a nocí, a ustanovení nebes i země zdržáno,

26 Také símě Jákobovo a Davida služebníka svého zavrhu, abych nebral z semene jeho těch, kteříž by panovati měli nad semenem Abrahamovým, Izákovým a Jákobovým, když zase přivedu zajaté jejich, a smiluji se nad nimi.

Jerusalem

  

Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.

6756. 'That he went out to his brothers' means a joining to the Church's truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'brothers' as the truths of the Church, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'going out to them' as being joined to them. As regards 'brothers', sometimes the expression means the forms of good, at other times the truths of the Church. Forms of good are meant when the celestial Church is the subject, truths when the spiritual Church is the subject. The reason for this is that the celestial Church is governed by good, but the spiritual Church by truth; and in ancient times all who belonged to the Church called one another brothers. Those who belonged to the spiritual Church did indeed call one another brothers on the basis of good, 3803; yet there were differences in the ways that members of the internal Church did so. Those differences depended on the nature of the good, and so on truths since good derives its specific nature from truths. Later on when the Church fell away from good, and consequently from truth also, people ceased any more to call one another brothers as a result of spiritual connections and relationships, which are those of charity and faith, but solely as a result of natural connections and relationships, or else as a result of friendship. They also began to consider it beneath them to call someone brother who ranked less highly than themselves. The reason for this was that they attached little or no importance to close ties that sprang from a spiritual origin, but great and supreme importance to close ties that had a natural or social origin. The Church's truths are clearly called 'brothers', because the sons of Jacob represented the truths of the Church in their entirety, 5407, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512.

[2] The reason why in ancient times people were called 'brothers' as a result of spiritual relationships is that the new birth or regeneration established family connections and relationships on a level superior to that of those established by natural birth. A further reason is that those connections and relationships trace their origin back to the same Father, who is the Lord. This goes to explain why people who enter heaven after death no longer acknowledge any brother, or even their mother or father, if the relationship is not founded on goodness and truth. It is in accordance with these that new brotherly relationships are formed there. This then is why those who belonged to the Church in former times called one another brothers.

[3] The fact that the children of Israel referred to all who were descended from Jacob as brothers, but everyone else as companions, is evident from the following places:

In Isaiah,

I will embroil Egypt with Egypt, in order that a man may fight against brother, and a man against his companion. Isaiah 19:2.

In the same prophet,

A man helps his companion and says to his brother, Be firm. Isaiah 41:6.

In Jeremiah,

Take heed, a man of his companion, and put no trust in any brother, for every brother supplants wholly, and every companion utters slanders. Jeremiah 9:4.

[4] The fact that all who were descended from Jacob called themselves brothers may be seen in Isaiah,

Then they will bring all your brothers from all nations as an offering to Jehovah, on horses, in chariots, and in covered waggons. Isaiah 66:20.

In Moses,

You shall indeed set a king over you 1 whom Jehovah your God will choose, from among your brothers shall you set a king over you; 1 you may not place over you 1 a foreigner, who is not your 1 brother. Deuteronomy 17:15.

Even the children of Esau, because they were descended from Jacob, were called brothers by them, in Moses,

We passed through, away from our brothers the children of Esau dwelling in Seir. Deuteronomy 2:8.

[5] The reason why in ancient times those who belonged to the Church called one another brothers was, as stated above, that they acknowledged the Lord as their one and only Father and received a new soul and life from Him, on account of which the Lord says,

Refuse to be called Rabbi, for one is your Master, Christ; but all you are brothers. Matthew 23:8.

Since spiritual brotherhood has its origin in love, that is, one person is another's, and those who are governed by good abide in the Lord, and He abides in them, John 14:20, the Lord calls them brothers, in Matthew,

Jesus stretching out His hand over His disciples said, Behold My mother and My brothers; for whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven is My brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:49-50.

In the same gospel,

Insofar as you did it to one of the least of My brothers you did it to Me. Matthew 25:40.

He again calls the disciples brothers in Matthew 28:10; John 20:17. 'Disciples' is used in the representative sense to mean all who are guided by the truths of faith and governed by the good of charity.
