1 Posle ovih stvari dođe Avramu reč Gospodnja u utvari govoreći: Ne boj se, Avrame, ja sam ti štit, i plata je tvoja vrlo velika.

2 A Avram reče Gospode, Gospode, šta ćeš mi dati kad živim bez dece, a pa kome će ostati moja kuća to je Elijezer ovaj Damaštanin?

3 Još reče Avram: Eto meni nisi dao poroda, pa će sluga rođen u kući mojoj biti moj naslednik.

4 A gle, Gospod mu progovori: Neće taj biti naslednik tvoj, nego koji će izaći od tebe taj će ti biti naslednik.

5 Pa ga izvede napolje i reče mu: Pogledaj na nebo i prebroj zvezde, ako ih možeš prebrojati. I reče mu: Tako će ti biti seme tvoje.

6 I poverova Avram Bogu, a On mu primi to u pravdu.

7 I reče mu: Ja sam Gospod, koji te izvedoh iz Ura haldejskog da ti dam zemlju ovu da bude tvoja.

8 A on reče: Gospode, Gospode, po čemu ću poznati da će biti moja?

9 I reče mu: Prinesi mi junicu od tri godine i kozu od tri godine i ovna od tri godine i grlicu i golupče.

10 I on uze sve to, i raseče na pole, i metnu sve pole jednu prema drugoj; ali ne raseče ptice.

11 A ptice sletahu na te mrtve životinje; a Avram ih odgoniše.

12 A kad sunce beše na zalasku, uhvati Avrama tvrd san, i gle, strah i mrak velik obuze ga.

13 I Gospod reče Avramu: Znaj zacelo da će seme tvoje biti došljaci u zemlji tuđoj, pa će joj služiti, i ona će ih mučiti četiri stotine godina.

14 Ali ću suditi i narodu kome će služiti; a posle će oni izaći s velikim blagom.

15 A ti ćeš otići k ocima svojim u miru, i bićeš pogreben u dobroj starosti.

16 A oni će se u četvrtom kolenu vratiti ovamo; jer gresima amorejskim još nije kraj.

17 A kad se sunce smiri i kad se smrče, gle, pećse dimljaše, i plamen ognjeni prolažaše između onih delova.

18 Taj dan učini Gospod zavet s Avramom govoreći: Semenu tvom dadoh zemlju ovu od vode misirske do velike vode, vode Efrata,

19 Kenejsku, kenezejsku i kedmonejsku,

20 I hetejsku i ferezejsku i rafajsku,

21 I amorejsku i hananejsku i gergesejsku i jevusejsku.

Scriptural Confirmations #49

49. 21. (The young lions roar, they give out their voice, they reduce the land to wasteness (Jeremiah 2:15).)

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah, and all the nations shall be gathered on account of the name of Jehovah to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 3:17). Concerning the New Church.

(A lion has gone up from his thicket and a destroyer of nations has set out; he is gone forth from his place to reduce thy land to wasteness. It shall come to pass in that day that the heart of the king shall perish and the heart of the princes, and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder (Jeremiah 4:7, 9).)

Breaking upon breaking is cried, for the whole land is devastated; suddenly are my tents devastated. I beheld, when lo, Carmel was a wilderness, and all the cities were desolated at the presence of Jehovah, for thus saith Jehovah the whole land shall be a waste; nevertheless I will not make a full end (Jeremiah 4:20, 26-28; 5:10, 18).

Shall I not visit for this, and shall not my soul take vengeance on such a nation as this? (Jeremiah 5:9, 29.)

(As a fountain causeth its waters to be cast forth, so Jerusalem causeth her wickedness to be cast forth; violence and vastation is heard in her. Receive reproof, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I reduce thee to a waste, a land not inhabited (Jeremiah 6:7-8).

At [that] time I will visit them (Jeremiah 6:15).

(Daughter of my people, make thee mourning for an only begotten, for the waster shall suddenly come upon you (Jeremiah 6:26).

(Behold the days come when the carcass of this people shall be for food for the bird of the heavens, and for the beast of the earth, none frightening them away. I will cause to cease from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall become a waste (Jeremiah 7:32-34; Genesis 15:11, 17).)
