Sacharja 8

പഠനം

   

1 Und es geschah das Wort Jehovas der Heerscharen also:

2 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Ich eifere für Zion mit großem Eifer, und mit großem Grimme eifere ich für dasselbe.

3 So spricht Jehova: Ich kehre nach Zion zurück und will inmitten Jerusalems wohnen; und Jerusalem wird genannt werden "Stadt der Wahrheit", und der Berg Jehovas der Heerscharen "der heilige Berg".

4 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Es werden noch Greise und Greisinnen in den Straßen von Jerusalem sitzen, ein jeder mit seinem Stabe in seiner Hand vor Menge der Tage.

5 Und die Straßen der Stadt werden voll sein von Knaben und Mädchen, die auf seinen Straßen spielen.

6 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Wenn es wunderbar ist in den Augen des Überrestes dieses Volkes in jenen Tagen, wird es auch in meinen Augen wunderbar sein? spricht Jehova der Heerscharen.

7 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Siehe, ich werde mein Volk retten aus dem Lande des Aufgangs und aus dem Lande des Untergangs der Sonne;

8 und ich werde sie herbeibringen, und sie werden wohnen inmitten Jerusalems; und sie werden mein Volk, und ich werde ihr Gott sein in Wahrheit und in Gerechtigkeit.

9 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Stärket eure Hände, die ihr in diesen Tagen diese Worte aus dem Munde der Propheten höret, welche an dem Tage waren, da der Grund des Hauses Jehovas der Heerscharen, des Tempels, gelegt wurde, um ihn zu erbauen!

10 Denn vor diesen Tagen war kein Lohn für die Menschen und kein Lohn für das Vieh; und der Aus-und Eingehende hatte keinen Frieden vor dem Bedränger, und ich ließ alle Menschen gegeneinander los.

11 Nun aber will ich dem Überrest dieses Volkes nicht sein wie in den früheren Tagen, spricht Jehova der Heerscharen;

12 sondern die Saat des Friedens, der Weinstock, wird seine Frucht geben, und die Erde ihren Ertrag geben, und der Himmel wird seinen Tau geben; und dem Überrest dieses Volkes werde ich das alles zum Erbteil geben.

13 Und es wird geschehen, gleichwie ihr, Haus Juda und Haus Israel, ein Fluch unter den Nationen gewesen seid, also werde ich euch retten, und ihr werdet ein Segen sein. Fürchtet euch nicht, stärket eure Hände!

14 Denn so spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Gleichwie ich euch Böses zu tun gedachte, als eure Väter mich erzürnten, spricht Jehova der Heerscharen, und ich es mich nicht gereuen ließ,

15 also gedenke ich wiederum in diesen Tagen Jerusalem und dem Hause Juda Gutes zu tun. Fürchtet euch nicht!

16 Dies sind die Dinge, die ihr tun sollt: Redet die Wahrheit einer mit dem anderen; richtet der Wahrheit gemäß und fället einen Rechtsspruch des Friedens in euren Toren;

17 und sinnet keiner auf des anderen Unglück in euren Herzen, und falschen Eid liebet nicht; denn alles dieses, ich hasse es, spricht Jehova.

18 Und das Wort Jehovas der Heerscharen geschah zu mir also:

19 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Das Fasten des vierten und das Fasten des fünften und das Fasten des siebten und das Fasten des zehnten Monats wird dem Hause Juda zur Wonne und zur Freude und zu fröhlichen Festzeiten werden. Doch liebet die Wahrheit und den Frieden.

20 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Noch wird es geschehen, daß Völker und Bewohner vieler Städte kommen werden;

21 und die Bewohner der einen werden zur anderen gehen und sagen: "Laßt uns doch hingehen, um Jehova anzuflehen und Jehova der Heerscharen zu suchen!" "Auch ich will gehen!"

22 Und viele Völker und mächtige Nationen werden kommen, um Jehova der Heerscharen in Jerusalem zu suchen und Jehova anzuflehen.

23 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: In jenen Tagen, da werden zehn Männer aus allerlei Sprachen der Nationen ergreifen, ja, ergreifen werden sie den Rockzipfel eines jüdischen Mannes und sagen: Wir wollen mit euch gehen, denn wir haben gehört, daß Gott mit euch ist.

501. And their bodies will lie in the street of the great city. (11:8) This symbolically means that these two essential elements of the New Church have been utterly rejected by people inwardly caught up in the doctrinal falsities connected with justification by faith alone.

The bodies of the two witnesses symbolize the two essential elements of the New Church, namely, an acknowledgment of the Lord as the only God of heaven and earth, and conjunction with Him by a life in accordance with the Ten Commandments (nos. 490ff.). The street of the great city symbolizes doctrinal falsity connected with justification by faith alone - the street symbolizing falsity, as we shall see next, and the city symbolizing doctrine (no. 194). It is called a great city because the doctrine is the prevailing doctrine throughout the Protestant Reformed Christian world among the clergy, though not in the same way among the laity.

Streets in the Word have almost the same symbolic meaning as ways, because streets are a city's ways. Still, streets symbolize doctrinal truths or falsities, because a city symbolizes doctrine (no. 194), while ways symbolize a church's truths or falsities, because the earth symbolizes the church (no. 285).

[2] That streets symbolize doctrinal truths or falsities can be seen from the following passages:

Justice has been rejected, and righteousness stands afar off, for truth has stumbled in the street, and rectitude cannot enter. (Isaiah 59:14)

The chariots raced madly in the streets, they rushed in every direction in the town squares. (Nahum 2:4)

In the days of Jael, the ways were deserted... The town squares were deserted... in Israel... (Judges 5:6-7)

How the glorious city is forsaken...! Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets... (Jeremiah 49:25-26, cf. 50:30)

Those who ate delicacies are devastated in the streets... Darker than black is the appearance (of the Nazirites); they go unrecognized in the streets... They wandered blind in the streets... They tracked our steps so that we could not go into our streets. (Lamentations 4:5, 8, 14, 18)

I will cut off nations, their corners will be devastated; I will make their streets desolate... (Zephaniah 3:6)

(After) sixty-two weeks, the street (of Jerusalem) shall be built again..., but in distressful times. (Daniel 9:25)

...the street of the city (New Jerusalem) was pure gold, like transparent glass. (Revelation 21:21)

In the middle of its street... on this side and that, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits... (Revelation 22:1-2)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 15:3; 24:10-11; 51:20.

As streets symbolize the church's doctrinal truths, therefore they taught in the streets (2 Samuel 1:20). And we are told,

We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. (Luke 13:26)

For this reason also hypocrites prayed on street corners (Matthew 6:2, 5). And for this reason the master of the house in Luke 14:21 ordered his servants to go out into the streets and squares and bring people in.

For the same reason, too, anything false or falsified is called mire, filth and excrement in the streets (Isaiah 5:25; 10:6, Micah 7:10, Psalms 18:42).

Prophets who prophesied falsely were cast out into the streets of Jerusalem, and no one buried them (Jeremiah 14:16).

Jeremiah 14

പഠനം

   

1 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.

2 Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black on the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

3 Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.

4 Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their heads.

5 Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes [her young], because there is no grass.

6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.

7 Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name's sake, Yahweh; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.

8 You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?

9 Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't save? Yet you, Yahweh, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; don't leave us.

10 Thus says Yahweh to this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Yahweh does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

11 Yahweh said to me, Don't pray for this people for [their] good.

12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

13 Then I said, Ah, Lord Yahweh! behold, the prophets tell them, You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

14 Then Yahweh said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I didn't send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.

15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and I didn't send them, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By Sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

16 The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them--them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them.

17 You shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.

18 If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.

19 Have you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion? why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!

20 We acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.

21 Do not abhor [us], for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory: remember, don't break your covenant with us.

22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, Yahweh our God? therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
