Jeremia 46

Studija

   

1 Dies ist das Wort des HERRN, das zu dem Propheten Jeremia geschehen ist wider alle Heiden.

2 Wider Ägypten. Wider das Heer Pharao Nechos, des Königs in Ägypten, welches lag am Wasser Phrath, zu Karchemis, das der König zu Babel, Nebukadnezar, schlug im vierten Jahr Jojakims, des Sohns Josias, des Königs Judas:

3 Rüstet Schilde und Tartschen und ziehet in den Streit!

4 Spannet Rosse an und lasset Reiter aufsitzen! Setzet die Helme auf und schärfet die Spieße und ziehet Panzer an!

5 Wie kommt's aber, daß ich sehe, daß sie verzagt sind und die Flucht geben, und ihre Helden erschlagen sind? Sie fliehen, daß sie sich auch nicht umsehen. Schrecken ist um und um, spricht der HERR.

6 Der Schnelle kann nicht entfliehen noch der Starke entrinnen. Gegen Mitternacht am Wasser Phrath sind sie gefallen und daniedergelegt.

7 Wo ist nun der, so heraufzog wie ein Strom, und seine Wellen sich erhuben wie des Wassers?

8 Ägypten zog herauf wie ein Strom, und seine Wellen erhuben sich wie des Wassers und sprach: Ich will hinaufziehen, das Land bedecken und die Stadt verderben samt denen, die drinnen wohnen.

9 Wohlan, sitzet auf die Rosse, rennet mit den Wagen, lasset die Helden ausziehen, die Mohren und aus Put, die den Schild führen, und die Schützen aus Lydien!

10 Denn dies ist der Tag des HERRN HERRN Zebaoth, ein Tag der Rache, daß er sich an seinen Feinden räche, da das Schwert fressen und von ihrem Blut voll und trunken werden wird. Denn sie müssen dem HERRN HERRN Zebaoth ein Schlachtopfer werden im Lande gegen Mitternacht, am Wasser Phrath.

11 Gehe hinauf gen Gilead und hole Salbe, Jungfrau, Tochter aus Ägypten! Aber es ist umsonst, daß du viel arzeneiest; du wirst doch nicht heil.

12 Deine Schande ist unter die Heiden erschollen, deines Heulens ist das Land voll; denn ein Held fällt über den andern, und liegen beide miteinander danieder.

13 Dies ist das Wort des HERRN, das er zu dem Propheten Jeremia redete, da Nebukadnezar, der König zu Babel, daherzog, Ägyptenland zu schlagen:

14 Verkündiget in Ägypten und saget es an zu Migdal; saget es an zu Noph und Thachpanhes und sprechet: Stelle dich zur Wehre; denn das Schwert wird fressen, was um dich her ist.

15 Wie geht es zu, daß deine Gewaltigen zu Boden fallen und mögen nicht bestehen? Der HERR hat sie so gestürzt.

16 Er macht, daß ihrer viele fallen, daß einer mit dem andern daniederliegt. Da sprachen sie: Wohlauf, laßt uns wieder zu unserm Volk ziehen in unser Vaterland vor dem Schwert des Tyrannen!

17 Daselbst schrie man ihnen nach: Pharao, der König in Ägypten, liegt; er hat sein Gezelt gelassen.

18 So wahr als ich lebe, spricht der König, der HERR Zebaoth heißt, er wird daherziehen so hoch, wie der Berg Tabor unter den Bergen ist und wie der Karmel am Meer ist.

19 Nimm dein Wandergerät, du Einwohnerin, Tochter Ägypten; denn Noph wird wüst und verbrannt werden, daß niemand drinnen wohnen wird.

20 Ägypten ist ein sehr schönes Kalb; aber es kommt von Mitternacht der Schlächter.

21 Und Taglöhner, so drinnen wohnen, sind auch wie gemästete Kälber; aber sie müssen sich dennoch wenden, flüchtig werden miteinander und werden nicht bestehen; denn der Tag ihres Unfalls wird über sie kommen, nämlich die Zeit ihrer Heimsuchung.

22 Sie fahren daher, daß der Harnisch prasselt, und kommen mit Heereskraft und bringen Äxte über sie wie die Holzhauer.

23 Dieselbigen werden hauen also in ihrem Walde, spricht der HERR, daß nicht zu zählen ist; denn ihrer ist mehr weder Heuschrecken, die niemand zählen kann.

24 Die Tochter Ägyptens steht mit Schanden, denn sie ist dem Volk von Mitternacht in die Hände gegeben.

25 Der HERR Zebaoth, der Gott Israels, spricht: Siehe, ich will heimsuchen den Regenten zu No und den Pharao und Ägypten samt seinen Göttern und Königen, ja Pharao mit allen, die sich auf ihn verlassen,

26 daß ich sie gebe in die Hände denen, die ihnen nach ihrem Leben stehen, und in die Hände Nebukadnezars, des Königs zu Babel, und seiner Knechte. Und danach sollst du bewohnet werden wie vor alters, spricht der HERR.

27 Aber du, mein Knecht Jakob, fürchte dich nicht, und du, Israel, verzage nicht! Denn siehe, ich will dir aus fernen Landen und deinem Samen aus dem Lande seines Gefängnisses helfen, daß Jakob soll wiederkommen und in Frieden sein und die Fülle haben, und niemand soll ihn schrecken.

28 Darum fürchte dich nicht, du Jakob, mein Knecht, spricht der HERR; denn ich bin bei dir. Mit allen Heiden, dahin ich dich verstoßen habe, will ich's ein Ende machen; aber mit dir will ich's nicht ein Ende machen, sondern ich will dich züchtigen mit Maße, auf daß ich dich nicht ungestraft lasse.

10622. 'And He does not at all absolve' means allowing them to exist until they reach their closing stage. This is clear from the meaning of 'absolving' as forgiving sin; but when the words does or will not absolve are added 1 , allowing the thing to exist is meant. The reason why until their closing stage is meant is that the Lord allows evil to exist until it has reached its closing stage or culmination. Various places throughout the Word use the expression 'the close of the age'; and in these places evil may be spoken of as having reached or not having reached its closing stage, at which stage visitation takes place. Since this is the meaning of the words 'He does (or will) not at all absolve' a brief statement must be made showing what to understand by this. In general the closing stage or the close means the end of the Church. And it reaches its end when neither charity nor faith exist any longer, because the Church has turned itself completely away from the Lord and no good at all reigns there any longer, only evil. This is called its close, at which stage visitation takes place. When it takes place all those ruled by evil are cast away, and all those governed by good are accepted. This visitation takes place in the next life, where all who have belonged to the Church from its beginning through to its end dwell together. The casting away of the evil into hell when it takes place and the saving of the good is what is called the last judgement.

[2] In particular the closing stage takes place with every individual person in a very similar manner. When anybody enters the next life, which happens immediately after death, he is allowed to exist among those who are good; even someone bad is allowed to do so. But after a while the person's interiors are opened. If these are evil he is borne away more and more into his own evil, until his will is taken over by his evil, and his understanding by the falsity which goes with that evil. Once this has happened that evil is said to have reached the closing stage in him, and he is cast away into hell. These are the things that should be understood by 'He will not at all absolve'. The like is meant by what Jehovah said to Moses,

Now, go! lead the people to what I have spoken of to you. Behold, My angel will go before you; and on the day of My visitation I will visit their sin upon them. Exodus 32:34.

[3] The fact that the close means the end of the Church is clear from the following places: In Jeremiah,

With Israel and with Judah I will not bring about the close 2 , but I will not treat you as one who is at all innocent 3 , because there is no hope for your fracture; the wound is grievous. You have no restorative medicaments. Jeremiah 30:11-13; 46:28.

In the same prophet,

Your iniquity, O daughter of Zion, has been brought to a close. He will visit your iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He will reveal your sins. Lamentations 4:22.

In Daniel,

Seventy weeks have been decreed concerning your people, to bring transgression to a close and to seal up sins and to atone for iniquity. At length upon the bird of abominations will come desolation; and until the close ... Daniel 9:24, 27.

In Matthew,

The harvest is the close of the age. As the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so will it be at the close of the age. Matthew 13:39-40.

In the same gospel,

The disciples said to Jesus, Tell us, what will be the sign of Your coming and of the close of the age? Matthew 24:3.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, Behold I am with you at all times 4 even to the close of the age. Matthew 28:20.

Bilješke:

1. i.e. when he does not absolve is added to absolving; literally, and absolving He does not absolve

2. i.e. He will not make an end of Israel and Judah, as He will of the nations among whom they are exiled

3. literally, nor rendering will I render you innocent

4. literally, I am with you all the days

Jeremiah 46

1 The word of Yahweh which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.

2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.

3 Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!

4 Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.

5 Why have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and don't look back: terror is on every side, says Yahweh.

6 Don't let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen.

7 Who is this who rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?

8 Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he says, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.

9 Go up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.

10 For that day is [a day] of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain do you use many medicines; there is no healing for you.

12 The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.

13 The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.

14 Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say, Stand forth, and prepare; for the sword has devoured around you.

15 Why are your strong ones swept away? they didn't stand, because Yahweh did drive them.

16 He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one on another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.

17 They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.

18 As I live, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

19 You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.

20 Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; [but] destruction out of the north is come, it is come.

21 Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they didn't stand: for the day of their calamity is come on them, the time of their visitation.

22 The sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.

23 They shall cut down her forest, says Yahweh, though it can't be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.

24 The daughter of Egypt shall be disappointed; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

25 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him:

26 and I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says Yahweh.

27 But don't you be afraid, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

28 Don't you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.
