Ezekielis 39

Étudier

   

1 “Tu, žmogaus sūnau, pranašauk prieš Gogą ir sakyk, kad Aš, Viešpats Dievas, taip sakau: ‘Gogai, vyriausiasis Mešecho ir Tubalo kunigaikšti, Aš esu prieš tave.

2 Aš apgręšiu tave ir atvesiu iš tolimos šiaurės į Izraelio kalnus,

3 ir sulaužysiu lanką tavo kairėje bei išmesiu strėles iš tavo dešinės.

4 Tu ir visi tavo pulkai bei kitos tautos, esančios su tavimi, krisite Izraelio kalnuose. Aš atiduosiu tave ėdesiu paukščiams ir laukiniams žvėrims.

5 Tu krisi atvirame lauke, nes Aš tai pasakiau,­sako Viešpats.­

6 Aš pasiųsiu ugnį į Magogą ir ant salose nerūpestingai gyvenančių. Tada jie žinos, kad Aš esu Viešpats.

7 Mano šventas vardas bus žinomas Izraelio tautoje, ir Aš nebeleisiu jo sutepti. Tada tautos žinos, kad Aš esu Viešpats, Izraelio Šventasis.

8 Tai ateis ir įvyks,­sako Viešpats Dievas,­diena, apie kurią Aš kalbėjau.

9 Izraelio miestų gyventojai išėję uždegs ginklus: mažuosius ir didžiuosius skydus, lankus, strėles, ietis ir durtuvus­ir degins juos septynerius metus.

10 Jie nerinks malkų laukuose ir nekirs miškų. Ginklai bus jų kuras. Jie naikins tuos, kurie juos naikino, ir apiplėš tuos, kurie juos apiplėšė,­sako Viešpats Dievas.­

11 Gogo kapinės bus Izraelyje, praeivių slėnyje, į rytus nuo jūros. Jos užtvers kelią praeiviams, ir ten bus palaidotas Gogas bei jo daugybė; ir ta vieta bus vadinama Gogo karių slėniu.

12 Izraelitai, valydami kraštą, laidos juos septynis mėnesius,

13 visi krašto gyventojai laidos juos. Jie minės tą dieną, kurią Aš būsiu pašlovintassako Viešpats Dievas.­

14 Po septynių mėnesių bus paskirti vyrai, kurie ieškos krašte nepalaidotų ir juos laidos, valydami kraštą.

15 Praeiviai, suradę žmogaus kaulus, pažymės tą vietą, o duobkasiai juos palaidos Gogo karių slėnyje.

16 Miesto vardas bus Hamona. Taip kraštas bus apvalytas’.

17 Tu gi, žmogaus sūnau, sukviesk iš visur paukščius bei laukinius žvėris į didelę puotą, kurią paruošiau jiems Izraelio kalnuose, kad ėstų mėsą ir gertų kraują.

18 ‘Jūs ėsite galiūnų kūnus ir gersite kunigaikščių kraują, avinų, ėriukų, ožių ir jaučių­nupenėtų Bašano gyvulių.

19 Jūs ėsite taukų iki soties ir prisigersite kraujo mano jums paruoštoje puotoje.

20 Jūs pasisotinsite prie mano stalo žirgų, raitelių, karžygių ir karių lavonais,­sako Viešpats Dievas.­

21 Taip Aš iškelsiu savo šlovę tautose: jos matys mano teismą, kurį įvykdysiu, ir pajus ranką, kurią uždėsiu ant jų.

22 Nuo tos dienos Izraelis žinos, kad Aš esu Viešpats, jų Dievas.

23 Tautos žinos, kad Izraelis buvo patekęs į nelaisvę dėl savo nusikaltimų. Jie nusikalto man, todėl Aš nusigręžiau nuo jų ir atidaviau juos jų priešams.

24 Už jų netyrumą ir nusikaltimus Aš tai padariau jiems ir pasitraukiau nuo jų’.

25 Todėl taip sako Viešpats Dievas: ‘Dabar Aš parvesiu Jokūbo ištremtuosius, pasigailėsiu Izraelio ir būsiu pavydus dėl savo švento vardo.

26 Kai jie patirs gėdą dėl savo nusikaltimų ir neištikimybės, jie vėl saugiai gyvens savo krašte, ir niekas jų negąsdins.

27 Parvedęs juos iš tautų bei surinkęs iš jų priešų kraštų, Aš pasirodysiu šventas juose tautų akivaizdoje.

28 Tada jie žinos, kad Aš esu Viešpats, jų Dievas, kuris buvau juos išsklaidęs tarp tautų, bet vėl surinkau ir parvedžiau­nė vieno iš jų ten nepalikau.

29 Aš nebeslėpsiu savo veido nuo jų, nes Aš ant jų išliejau savo dvasią,­sako Viešpats Dievas’ ”.

Arcana Coelestia #9680

9680. 'And let the veil be for you a divider between the holy place and the holy of holies' means between spiritual good - which is the good of charity towards the neighbour and the good of faith in the Lord - and celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord and the good of mutual love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the holy place' as the good reigning in the middle heaven; and from the meaning of 'the holy of holies' as the good reigning in the inmost heaven. The fact that the latter good is the good of love to the Lord and the good of mutual love, and that the former good - the good reigning in the middle heaven - is the good of charity towards the neighbour and the good of faith in the Lord, is evident from all that has been shown in the places referred to in 9670 regarding both kinds of good, celestial and spiritual. The good of love to the Lord in the inmost heaven is the internal good there, while the good of mutual love is the external good there; but the good of charity towards the neighbour is the internal good in the middle heaven, and the good of faith in the Lord is the external good there. In both heavens there is an internal and an external, as there is in the Church. Regarding the Church, that this is internal and external, see 409, 1083, 1098, 1238, 1242, 4899, 6380, 6587, 7840, 8762, 9375.

[2] All good is holy, and so is all truth to the extent that it has good within it. Good is said to be holy and from the Lord because the Lord alone is holy and He it is from whom all good and all truth come, 9229, 9479. From this it is evident why the dwelling-place is called the holy place and the ark containing the Testimony is called the holy of holies. For the Testimony is the Lord Himself in respect of Divine Truth, 9503, and the ark is the inmost heaven where the Lord is, 9485. The Lord is indeed present in the middle heaven, but more immediately so in the inmost heaven. For those who have been joined to the Lord through the good of love are with Him, whereas those who have been joined to the Lord through the truth of faith are indeed with Him, but more remotely. In the middle heaven they are joined to the Lord through faith implanted in the good of charity towards the neighbour. From all this it evident why the dwelling-place outside the veil is called the holy place and the dwelling-place inside the veil is called the holy of holies.

[3] The fact that the Lord is the Source of everything holy and that He is the real 'Holy of Holies' is clear in Daniel,

Seventy weeks have been decreed concerning your 1 people, to anoint the Holy of Holies. 2 Daniel 9:24.

And in the Book of Revelation,

Who is not going to fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. Revelation 15:4.

Therefore also the Lord is called the Holy One of Israel in Isaiah 1:4; 5:19, 24; 10:20; 12:6; 17:7; 29:19; 30:11-12, 15; 31:1; 37:23; 41:14, 16, 20; 43:3, 14; 45:11; 60:9, 14; Jeremiah 50:29; 51:5; Ezekiel 39:7; Psalms 71:22; 78:41; 89:18; 2 Kings 19:22; and elsewhere. Anything whatever therefore among the children of Israel which represented the Lord, or the goodness and truth that emanate from Him, was called holy once it had been dedicated, because the Lord alone is holy. The Holy Spirit in the Word is also that which is holy, emanating from the Lord.

Exodus 26

Étudier

   

1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.

3 Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling; and likewise you shall make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one to another.

6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle shall be a unit.

7 "You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make them eleven curtains.

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling.

11 You shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

15 "You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board.

17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,

21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22 For the far part of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.

23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

24 They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far part westward.

28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
