何西阿書 1

Estudio

1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大,約阿施的兒子耶羅波安作以色列的時候,耶和華的臨到備利的兒子何西阿

2 耶和華初次與何西阿說話,對他:你去娶淫婦為妻,也收那從淫亂所生的兒女;因為這大行淫亂,離棄耶和華

3 於是,何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女兒歌篾。這婦人懷孕,給他生了一個兒子

4 耶和華對何西阿:給他起名耶斯列;因為再過片時,我必討耶戶家在耶斯列殺人流血的罪,也必使以色列家的國滅絕。

5 到那日,我必在耶斯列平原折斷以色列的

6 歌篾又懷孕生了一個女兒,耶和華對何西阿:給她起名哈瑪(就是不蒙憐憫的意思);因為我必不再憐憫以色列家,決不赦免他們。

7 我卻要憐憫猶大家,使他們靠耶和華─他們的,不使他們靠、刀、爭戰、馬匹,與兵得

8 歌篾給羅路哈瑪斷奶以後,又懷孕生了一個兒子

9 耶和華:給他起名羅阿米(就是非我民的意思);因為你們不作我的子民,我也不作你們的神。

10 然而,以色列的必如沙,不可量,不可。從前在甚麼地方對他們你們不是我的子民,將來在那裡必對他們你們是永生神的兒子

11 猶大人和以色列人同聚集,為自己立個首領,從這上去(或譯:從被擄之上來),因為耶斯列的日子必為日。

120. But are a synagogue of Satan, signifies the doctrine of all falsities with these. This is evident from the signification of "synagogue," as being doctrine (of which presently); and from the signification of "Satan," as being the hell from which are all falsities. There are two kinds of hells, one in which those are who are in evils, and the other in which those are who are in the falsities of evil. The hell in which those are who are in evils is called, in one word, Devil, and that in which those are who are in the falsities of evil is called, in one word, Satan. That the hells are thus named is totally unknown to those who know nothing about the hells, but have adopted the belief that the devil was created an angel of light, and because he rebelled was cast down with his crew, and thus hell was made. (That the hells are called Devil and Satan may be seen in the work on Heaven and Hell 311, 544, 553; and in the small work on The Last Judgment, in the chapter where it is shown that Heaven and Hell are from the Human Race, n. 14-22.)

[2] Let it be known, moreover, that as all goods and truths are from the Lord out of the heavens, so all evils and falsities are out of the hells. He is greatly deceived who believes that goods and truths have any other source than out of the heavens from the Lord, or that evils and falsities have any other source than out of the hells. Man is simply a receptacle of these, and to whichever he turns himself of that he is a recipient. If he turns himself towards heaven, which is effected by the goods of love and the truths of faith, he receives goods and truths from the Lord; but if he turns himself towards hell, which is effected by the evils of love and falsities of faith, he receives evils and falsities from the hells. Now as all evils and falsities are from the hells, and as the hells are called, in one word, either Devil or Satan, it follows that by Devil are also signified all evils, and by Satan all falsities. From this it is that by a "synagogue of Satan" the doctrine of all falsities is signified.

[3] By "synagogue" doctrine is signified, because in the synagogues there was instruction, and differences in matters of doctrine were also adjusted. That there was instruction in the synagogues is evident from Matthew 4:23; 9:35; 13:54; Mark 1:21, 22, 29, 39; 6:2; Luke 4:15, 16, 44; 13:10, 14; John 18:20. That differences in matters of doctrine were adjusted in the synagogues may be inferred from what is said in Matthew 10:17; Mark 13:9; Luke 12:11; 21:12; John 9:22; 12:42; 16:2, 3. That with the Jewish nation there was the doctrine of all falsities can be seen from many things known as to that nation; namely, that they denied the Lord; that they wish for a Messiah whose kingdom will be upon the earth, and who will exalt them above all other nations in the world; that they place all worship in externals, and reject the internals of worship, which are of faith in the Lord and of love to Him; that they apply all things in the Word to themselves; and falsify it by traditions of their own invention (See Matthew 15:6-9; Mark 7:1-13). Again, what the quality of that nation in respect to their interiors has been from the beginning can be seen from the song of Moses (Deuteronomy 32), and elsewhere in many passages (See also the quotations from the Arcana Coelestia, in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 248).
