Deuteronomium 32

Სწავლა

   

1 Pozorujte nebesa a mluviti budu, poslyš i země výmluvností úst mých.

2 Sstupiž jako déšť naučení mé, spadniž jako rosa výmluvnost má, jako tichý déšť na mladistvou trávu, a jako příval na odrostlou bylinu,

3 Nebo jméno Hospodinovo slaviti budu. Vzdejtež velebnost Bohu našemu,

4 Skále té, jejíž skutkové jsou dokonalí, nebo všecky cesty jeho jsou spravedlivé. Bůh silný, pravdomluvný, a není nepravosti v něm, spravedlivý a přímý jest.

5 Ale pokolení převrácené a zavilé zpronevěřilo se jemu mrzkostí vlastní svou,jakáž vzdálena jest od synů jeho.

6 Tím-liž jste se odplacovati měli Hospodinu, lide bláznivý a nemoudrý? Zdaliž on není otec tvůj, kterýž tě sobě dobyl? On učinil tebe a utvrdil tě.

7 Rozpomeň se na dny staré, považte let každého věku; vzeptej se otce svého, a oznámí tobě, starců svých, a povědí tobě.

8 Když dědictví rozděloval Nejvyšší národům, když rozsadil syny Adamovy, rozměřil meze národům vedlé počtu synů Izraelských.

9 Nebo díl Hospodinův jest lid jeho, Jákob provazec dědictví jeho.

10 Nalezl jej v zemi pusté, a na poušti veliké a hrozné; vůkol vedl jej, vyučil jej, a ostříhal ho, jako zřítedlnice oka svého.

11 Jako orlice ponouká orličátek svých, sedí na mladých svých, roztahuje křídla svá, béře je, a nosí je na křídlách svých:

12 Tak Hospodin sám vedl jej, a nebylo s ním boha cizozemců.

13 Zprovodil jej na vysoká místa země, aby jedl úrody polní, a učinil, aby ssál med z skály, a olej z kamene přetvrdého,

14 Máslo od krav a mléko od ovcí, s nejtučnějšími beránky a skopci z Bázan a kozly s jádrem zrn pšeničných, a červené víno výborné aby pil.

15 Takž Izrael ztučněv, zpíčil se; vytyl jsi a ztlustl, tukem jsi obrostl; i opustil Boha stvořitele svého, a zlehčil sobě Boha spasení svého.

16 K horlení popudili ho cizími bohy, ohavnostmi zdráždili jej.

17 Obětovali ďáblům, ne Bohu, bohům, jichž neznali, novým, kteříž z blízka přišli, jichžto se nic nestrašili otcové vaši.

18 Na skálu, kteráž zplodila tě, zapomenul jsi; zapomněl jsi na Boha silného, stvořitele svého.

19 To když viděl Hospodin, popudil se hněvem proti synům a dcerám svým,

20 A řekl: Skryji před nimi tvář svou, podívám se posledním věcem jejich; nebo národ převrácený jest, synové, v nichž není žádné víry.

21 Oniť jsou mne popudili k horlení skrze to, což není Bůh silný, rozhněvali mne svými marnostmi. I jáť popudím jich k závisti skrze ty, kteříž nejsou lid, skrze národ bláznivý k hněvu jich popudím.

22 Nebo oheň zápalen jest v prchlivosti mé, a hořeti bude až do nejhlubšího pekla, a sžíře zemi i úrody její, a zapálí základy hor.

23 Shromáždím na ně zlé věci, střely své vystřílím na ně.

24 Hladem usvadnou, a neduhy pálčivými a nakažením morním přehořkým žráni budou; také zuby šelm pošli na ně s jedem hadů zemských.

25 Meč uvede sirobu vně, a v pokojích bude strach, tak na mládenci jako panně, dítěti prsí požívajícím i muži šedivém.

26 Ano, řekl bych:Rozptýlím je po koutech, rozkáži přestati mezi lidmi paměti jejich,

27 Bych se pýchy nepřítele neobával, aby spatříce to nepřátelé jejich, neřekli: Ruka naše nepřemožená byla, neučinilť jest Hospodin ničeho z těch věcí.

28 Nebo národ ten nesmyslný jest a nemající rozumnosti.

29 Ó by moudří byli, rozuměliť by tomu, prohlédali by na poslední věci své.

30 Jak by jich jeden honiti mohl tisíc, a dva pryč zahnati deset tisíců? Jediné že Bůh skála jejich prodal je, a Hospodin vydal je.

31 Nebo Bůh skála naše není jako skála jejich, což nepřátelé naši sami souditi mohou.

32 Nebo z kmene Sodomského kmen jejich, a z réví Gomorských hroznové jejich, hroznové jedovatí, zrní hořkosti plné.

33 Jed draků víno jejich, a Jed lítý nejjedovatějšího hada.

34 Zdaliž to není schováno u mne? zapečetěno v pokladnicích mých?

35 Máť jest pomsta a odplata, časemť svým klesne noha jejich; nebo blízko jest den zahynutí jejich, a budoucí věci zlé rychle připadnou na ně.

36 Souditi zajisté bude Hospodin lid svůj, a nad služebníky svými lítost míti bude, když uzří, že odešla síla, a že jakož zajatý tak i zanechaný s nic býti nemůže.

37 I dí: Kde jsou bohové jejich? skála, v níž naději měli?

38 Z jejichžto obětí tuk jídali, a víno z obětí jejich mokrých píjeli? Nechať vstanou a spomohou vám, nechť vám skrejší jest skála ta.

39 Pohleďtež již aspoň, že já jsem, já jsem sám, a že není Boha kromě mne. Já mohu usmrtiti i obživiti, já raniti i uzdraviti, a není žádného, kdo by vytrhl z ruky mé.

40 Nebo já pozdvihám k nebi ruky své, a pravím: Živ jsem já na věky.

41 Jakž nabrousím ostří meče svého, a uchopí soud ruka má, učiním pomstu nad nepřátely svými, a těm, jenž v nenávisti mne měli, odplatím.

42 Opojím střely své krví, a meč můj sžere maso, a to krví raněných a zajatých, jakž jen začnu pomsty uvoditi na nepřátely.

43 Veselte se pohané s lidem jeho, neboť pomstí krve služebníků svých, a uvede pomstu na nepřátely své, a očistí zemi svou a lid svůj.

44 I přišel Mojžíš, a mluvil všecka slova písně této v uši lidu, on a Jozue, syn Nun.

45 A když dokonal Mojžíš mluvení všech slov těch ke všemu množství Izraelskému,

46 Řekl jim: Přiložtež srdce svá ke všechněm slovům, kteráž já dnes osvědčuji vám,a přikažte to synům svým, aby ostříhali všech slov zákona tohoto, a činili je.

47 Nebo není daremné slovo, abyste jím pohrdnouti měli, ale jest život váš; a v slovu tom prodlíte dnů svých na zemi, kterouž abyste dědičně obdrželi, půjdete přes Jordán.

48 Téhož dne mluvil Hospodin k Mojžíšovi, řka:

49 Vstup na horu tuto Abarim, na vrch Nébo, kteráž jest v zemi Moábské naproti Jerichu, a spatř zemi Kananejskou, kterouž já dávám synům Izraelským právem dědičným.

50 A umřeš na vrchu, na kterýž vejdeš, a připojen budeš k lidu svému, jako umřel Aron, bratr tvůj, na hoře řečené Hor, a připojen jest k lidu svému.

51 Nebo jste zhřešili proti mně u prostřed synů Izraelských, při vodách odpírání v Kádes, na poušti Tsin, proto že jste neposvětili mne u prostřed synů Izraelských.

52 Před sebou zajisté uzříš zemi tu, ale tam nevejdeš do země té, kterouž dávám synům Izraelským.

Apocalypse Explained # 39

შეისწავლეთ ეს პასაჟი.

  
/ 1232  
  

39. And all the tribes of the earth shall wail over him. That this signifies that the falsities of the church will resist, is evident from the signification of wailing, as denoting to lament, to grieve, to be indignant, to be angry, to be averse from, thus also to resist; and from the signification of tribes, as denoting all truths and goods in the aggregate, and, in the opposite sense, all falsities and evils in the aggregate, concerning which we shall speak in what follows; and from the signification of the earth, as being the church (on which see above, n. 29). By all the tribes of the earth, therefore, is signified the whole church, and by their wailing over Him, is signified that truths and goods are no more, because falsities and evils are about to dominate and resist. For what the state of the church will be at its end is treated of in general in this verse, when there will be no longer any faith because no charity; that is, that the Lord will then reveal Himself, and that all will acknowledge Him who are in truths from good, and that those also shall see Him who are in falsities from evil, but that the falsities of the church will resist. (That the Apocalypse does not treat of the successive states of the church, but of its last state, or when it is at its end, may be seen above, n. 5; and that its end is when there is no faith because no charity, may be seen in the small work, The Last Judgment 33-39, and following numbers. When there is no faith because no charity, then falsities from evil reign, which offer opposition to truths from good.)

[2] Tribes are often mentioned in the Word, because the Israelitish people were divided into twelve tribes; and he who is ignorant of the internal sense of the Word supposes, that by tribes are meant the tribes of Israel; nevertheless, by tribes are not meant tribes, nor is Israel meant by Israel; but tribes mean all those who are in truths from good, and Israel means the church of the Lord. He who does not know this, will easily accept the common belief that the children of Israel were chosen before all others on the whole earth, and also that they will be introduced at last into the land of Canaan. Indeed, he will believe that heaven will consist chiefly of them; although, by the names of those tribes in the Word they are not meant, but those who are in truths from good, that is, those who belong to the church; by the twelve tribes, all, and by each one of them, some special truth and good pertaining to those who belong to the church.

[3] These things being understood, it is evident what is meant by these words in the Apocalypse:

"I heard the number of them which were sealed; and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the sons of Israel. Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand" (7:4-8).

In this passage those who belonged to the Israelitish nation are not meant, but all those, however many they may be, who are in truths from good; for all these are sealed for heaven. The numbers one hundred and forty-four thousand and twelve thousand, also signify all, and each tribe signifies all those who are in that truth or good which is signified by its name.

(As may be evident from what is shown in Arcana Coelestia in regard to the following: what good and truth are signified by Judah, n. 3881, 6363; what by Reuben, n. 3861, 3866, 4605, 4731, 4734, 4761, 6342-6345; what by Gad, n. 3934, 3935; what by Asher, n. 3938, 3939, 6408; what by Naphtali, n. 3927, 3928 what by Manasseh, n. 3969, 5354, 6222, 6231, 6238, 6267, 6296 what by Simeon, n. 3869-3872, 4197, 4502, 4503, 5482, 5626, 5630; what by Levi, n. 3875, 3877, 4497, 4502, 4503; what by Issachar, n. 3956, 3957; what by Zebulun, n. 3960, 3961, 6383; what by Joseph, n. 3969, 3971, 4669, 6417; and what by Benjamin, n. 3969, 4592, 5411, 5413, 5443, 5639, 5686, 5688, 5689, 6440.

That all numbers in the Word signify things, see n. 482, 487, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 6175, 9488, 9659, 10217, 10253.

That twelve signifies all, and all things as to truths from good, see n. 577, 2089, 2129, 2130, 3272, 3858, 3913; also, the numbers 72, 144, 12,000, 144,000, because they arise from the number 12 by multiplication, n. 7973.

That numbers multiplied signify the same as the simple numbers from which they are produced by multiplication, see n. 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.)

[4] He who does not know that numbers signify things, what the numbers twelve, one hundred and forty-four, and twelve thousand signify, and also what tribes and apostles signify, cannot know what is signified by those passages in the Apocalypse, where it is said, that the holy city, New Jerusalem,

"had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel; and the wall had twelve foundations, in which were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The wall was a hundred and forty and four cubits, and the length and the breadth of the city twelve thousand furlongs" (21:12, 14, 16, 17).

The signification of all these things may be seen explained in the little work, The New Jerusalem and its Doctrine, n. 1; where it is shown, that by Jerusalem is signified the church as to doctrine; by the wall, its truths of defence; by the gates, introductory truths; by the foundations, the knowledges upon which doctrine is founded; by twelve angels, and by twelve tribes, all truths and goods collectively; the same by the twelve apostles; and by the numbers twelve, one hundred and forty-four, and twelve thousand, all things and all persons.

[5] Moreover, he who knows that such things are signified by the twelve tribes may see the mystery involved in the names of the twelve tribes being engraved upon the precious stones of the Urim and Thummim, and also the signification of the breast-plate (Exodus 28:21; 39:10-15). (This arcanum may be seen unfolded in Arcana Coelestia 3858, 6335, 6640, 9863, 9865, 9873, 9874, 9905.) He may also see what is the signification of the twelve apostles sitting upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28), namely, that the Lord alone will judge every one by truths from good (n. 2129, 6397); also what things are meant by the predictions of Israel the father, concerning his sons (Gen. 49); and also the meaning of many other passages in the Word where the tribes are mentioned (as in Isaiah 19:13; 49:6; 63:17; Jeremiah 10:16; Ezekiel 48:1, and following verses; Psalm 122:3-5; Deuteronomy 32:8; Numbers 24:2; Apoc. 5:9; 7:4-9; 11:9; 13:7; 14:6; and elsewhere).

[6] And again, the meaning of the Lord's words about the consummation of the age and His coming, may be seen:

"After the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and much glory" (Matthew 14:29, 30).

(These words may be seen explained in detail in the work, Heaven and Hell 1; and in the following passages in Arcana Coelestia, where it is shown that the twelve tribes of Israel represented, and thence signified, all truths and goods collectively, thus all things of faith and love, n. 3858, 3926, 4060, 6335; that similar things are signified by the twelve apostles, n. 2129, 3354, 3488, 3858, 6397; and that they have various significations according to the order in which they are named, n. 3862, 3926, 3939, 4603, 6337, 6640, 10335.)

2075. 'And will Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, give birth?' means that truth joined to good will achieve this. This is clear from the representation and meaning of 'Sarah' as truth joined to good, which is Divine truth, and from the meaning of the number 'ninety', or what amounts to the same, 'nine'. One is bound to be surprised that the number 'a hundred years', which was Abraham's age, means that the Rational belonging to the Lord's Human Essence was to be united to the Divine Essence, and that the number 'ninety years', which was Sarah's age, means that truth joined to good would achieve this. But as there is nothing in the Lord's Word that is not heavenly and Divine, the same must be true of the actual numbers which appear there. That all numbers used in the Word, as with all names used in it, mean real things has been shown in Volume One, in 482, 487, 488, 493, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 893, 1988.

[2] Now as regards the number nine meaning conjunction, more so the number ninety, which is the product of nine times ten, 'ten' meaning remnants by which conjunction is achieved - as shown by what has been said above at the end of 1988 - this is also made clear from the following representatives and meaningful signs. It was commanded that on the tenth day of the seventh month there was to be a day of atonement, and that this was to be a sabbath of rest; 1 and on the ninth day of the seventh month in the evening, from one evening to the next, they were to celebrate the sabbath, Leviticus 23:27, 32.

[3] In the internal sense these details mean conjunction through remnants, that is to say, 'nine' means conjunction and 'ten' remnants. The existence of a Divine arcanum lying concealed within these numbers is quite evident from the months and the days of the year which were to be held sacred, for example, every seventh day was to be a sabbath; every seventh month, as stated here, was to be a sabbath of rests; likewise every seventh year, and also every seven times seventh year, which was to mark the start of a jubilee year. The same applies to all other numbers in the Word, for example, to the number three which has almost the same meaning as seven; to the number twelve which means all things belonging to faith; and to the number ten which, the same as tenths, means remnants, 576; and so on. And in the verses from Leviticus quoted above, unless the numbers ten and nine embodied arcana it would by no means have been commanded that there should be this sabbath of rest 1 on the tenth day of the seventh month, and that they should celebrate it on the ninth day of the month. Such is the Word of the Lord in the internal sense, even though nothing of the sort is evident in the historical sense.

[4] The same applies to what is recorded about Jerusalem being besieged by Nebuchadnezzar in the ninth year of Zedekiah, and about its being breached on the ninth day of the month in the eleventh year, as follows in the Second Book of Kings,

In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel came against Jerusalem, and the city came under siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. On the ninth day of the month the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land; and the city was breached. 2 Kings 25:1, 3-4.

'The ninth year, the tenth month' and 'the eleventh year and ninth day of the month when there was a famine in the city and no bread for the people of the land' means in the internal sense that no conjunction by means of the things of faith and charity existed any longer. 'Famine in the city and no bread for the people of the land' means that no faith at all nor any charity at all was left. This is the internal sense of these words which is nowhere apparent in the letter. Matters like these shine out even less from the historical sections of the Word than from the prophetical because the historical incidents captivate the mind (animus), so much that belief in anything deeper there is scarcely possible. Yet all those incidents are representative and the words used to describe them in every case carry spiritual meanings. These matters are hard to believe but they are nevertheless true, see 1769 1772.
