1 Και με επεστρεψε κατα την οδον της εξωτερας πυλης του αγιαστηριου της βλεπουσης κατα ανατολας· και αυτη ητο κεκλεισμενη.

2 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Η πυλη αυτη θελει εισθαι κεκλεισμενη, δεν θελει ανοιχθη, και ανθρωπος δεν θελει εισελθει δι' αυτης· διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ εισηλθε δι' αυτης, δια τουτο θελει εισθαι κεκλεισμενη.

3 Αυτη θελει εισθαι δια τον αρχοντα· ο αρχων, ουτος θελει καθησει εν αυτη δια να φαγη αρτον ενωπιον του Κυριου· θελει εισελθει δια της οδου της στοας της πυλης ταυτης και δια της αυτης οδου θελει εξελθει.

4 Και με εφερε κατα την οδον της βορειου πυλης κατεναντι του οικου· και ειδον και ιδου, ο οικος του Κυριου ητο πληρης της δοξης του Κυριου· και επεσον επι προσωπον μου.

5 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, προσεξον εν τη καρδια σου και ιδε με τους οφθαλμους σου και ακουσον με τα ωτα σου παντα οσα εγω λαλω προς σε περι πασων των διαταξεων του οικου του Κυριου και περι παντων των νομων αυτου· και παρατηρησον καλως την εισοδον του οικου, μετα πασων των εξοδων του αγιαστηριου.

6 Και θελεις ειπει προς τους απειθεις, προς τον οικον Ισραηλ, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Οικος Ισραηλ, αρκεσθητε εις παντα τα βδελυγματα υμων,

7 οτι εισηξατε αλλογενεις, απεριτμητους την καρδιαν και απεριτμητους την σαρκα, δια να ηναι εν τω αγιαστηριω μου, να βεβηλονωσιν αυτο, τον οικον μου, οταν προσφερητε τον αρτον μου, το παχος και το αιμα, ενω παραβαινουσι την διαθηκην μου εξ αιτιας παντων των βδελυγματων σας.

8 Και δεν εφυλαξατε σεις την φυλακην των αγιων μου, αλλα κατεστησατε επι του αγιαστηριου μου φυλακας της φυλακης μου αντι υμων.

9 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ουδεις αλλογενης απεριτμητος την καρδιαν και απεριτμητος την σαρκα θελει εισερχεσθαι εις το αγιαστηριον μου, εκ παντων των αλλογενων των μεταξυ των υιων Ισραηλ·

10 αλλ' οι Λευιται, οιτινες απεστατησαν απ' εμου οτε ο Ισραηλ απεπλανατο, αποπλανηθεντες απ' εμου κατοπιν των ειδωλων αυτων, και θελουσι βαστασει την ανομιαν αυτων.

11 Και θελουσιν εισθαι λειτουργοι εν τω αγιαστηριω μου, επιστατουντες επι των πυλων του οικου και φυλαττοντες τον οικον· αυτοι θελουσι σφαζει εις τον λαον τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας θυσιας, και αυτοι θελουσιν ιστασθαι ενωπιον αυτων δια να υπηρετωσιν εις αυτους.

12 Διοτι υπηρετουν εις αυτους εμπροσθεν των ειδωλων αυτων και ησαν προσκομμα ανομιας εις τον οικον Ισραηλ· δια τουτο εγω υψωσα την χειρα μου εναντιον αυτων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, και θελουσι βαστασει την ανομιαν αυτων.

13 Και δεν θελουσι με πλησιαζει δια να ιερατευωσιν εις εμε και δεν θελουσι πλησιαζει εις ουδεν απο των αγιων μου, εις τα αγια των αγιων· αλλα θελουσι βαστασει την αισχυνην αυτων και τα βδελυγματα αυτων, τα οποια επραξαν.

14 Και θελω καταστησει αυτους φυλακας της φυλακης του οικου δια πασαν την υπηρεσιαν αυτου και δια παντα οσα θελουσι γινεσθαι εν αυτω.

15 Οι δε ιερεις οι Λευιται, οι υιοι Σαδωκ, οι φυλαξαντες την φυλακην του αγιαστηριου μου, οτε οι υιοι Ισραηλ απεπλανωντο απ' εμου, ουτοι θελουσι με πλησιαζει δια να λειτουργωσιν εις εμε, και θελουσιν ιστασθαι ενωπιον μου δια να προσφερωσιν εις εμε το παχος και το αιμα, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος·

16 ουτοι θελουσιν εισερχεσθαι εις το αγιαστηριον μου και ουτοι θελουσι πλησιαζει εις την τραπεζαν μου, δια να λειτουργωσιν εις εμε και θελουσι φυλαττει την φυλακην μου.

17 Και οταν εισερχωνται εις τας πυλας της εσωτερας αυλης, θελουσιν ενδυεσθαι λινα ιματια· και δεν θελει εισθαι μαλλιον επ' αυτων, ενω λειτουργουσιν εις τας πυλας της εσωτερας αυλης και ενδον.

18 Θελουσιν εχει τιαρας λινας επι τας κεφαλας αυτων και θελουσιν εχει λινα περισκελη επι τας οσφυας αυτων· δεν θελουσι περιζωννυσθαι ουδεν προξενουν ιδρωτα.

19 Και οταν εξερχωνται εις την αυλην την εξωτεραν, εις την αυλην την εξωτεραν προς τον λαον, θελουσιν εκδυεσθαι τα ενδυματα αυτων, με τα οποια ελειτουργουν, και θετει αυτα εις τους αγιους θαλαμους, και θελουσιν ενδυεσθαι αλλα ενδυματα· και δεν θελουσιν αγιαζει τον λαον με τα ενδυματα αυτων.

20 Και δεν θελουσι ξυριζει τας κεφαλας αυτων και δεν θελουσιν αφινει την κομην αυτων να αυξανηται· μονον θελουσι κουρευει τας κεφαλας αυτων.

21 Και οινον δεν θελει πινει ουδεις ιερευς, οταν εισερχηται εις την εσωτεραν αυλην.

22 Και χηραν και αποβεβλημενην δεν θελουσι λαμβανει εις εαυτους δια γυναικα· αλλα θελουσι λαμβανει παρθενον εκ του σπερματος του οικου Ισραηλ η χηραν χηρευουσαν ιερεως.

23 Και θελουσι διδασκει τον λαον μου την διαφοραν μεταξυ αγιου και βεβηλου, και θελουσι καμνει αυτους να διακρινωσι μεταξυ ακαθαρτου και καθαρου.

24 Και εν ταις αμφισβητησεσιν ουτοι θελουσιν ιστασθαι δια να κρινωσι· κατα τας κρισεις μου θελουσι κρινει αυτας και θελουσι φυλαττει τα νομιμα μου και τα διαταγματα μου εν πασαις ταις εορταις μου· και θελουσιν αγιαζει τα σαββατα μου.

25 Και δεν θελουσιν εισερχεσθαι εις νεκρον ανθρωπου δια να μιανθωσιν· ειμη δια πατερα η δια μητερα η δια υιον η δια θυγατερα, δι' αδελφον η δια αδελφην μη υπανδρευθεισαν, δια τουτους θελουσι μιαινεσθαι.

26 Αφου δε ο μεμιασμενος καθαρισθη, θελουσιν αριθμει εις αυτον επτα ημερας.

27 Και την ημεραν, καθ' ην εισερχεται εις το αγιαστηριον, εις την αυλην την εσωτεραν, δια να λειτουργηση εν τω αγιαστηριω, θελει προσφερει την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν αυτου, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

28 Και τουτο θελει εισθαι εις αυτους δια κληρονομιαν· εγω ειμαι η κληρονομια αυτων· και ιδιοκτησιαν δεν θελετε διδει εις αυτους εν τω Ισραηλ· εγω ειμαι η ιδιοκτησια αυτων.

29 Θελουσι τρωγει την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν και την περι ανομιας προσφοραν· και παν αφιερωμα μεταξυ του Ισραηλ θελει εισθαι αυτων.

30 Και αι απαρχαι παντων των πρωτογεννηματων και πασα υψουμενη προσφορα παντων εκ παντος ειδους των υψουμενων προσφορων σας θελουσιν εισθαι των ιερεων· και την απαρχην της ζυμης σας θελετε διδει εις τον ιερεα, δια να επαναπαυη ευλογιαν εις τους οικους σας.

31 Οι ιερεις δεν θελουσι τρωγει ουδεν θνησιμαιον η θηριαλωτον, ειτε πτηνον ειτε κτηνος.

191. "'I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God.'" This symbolically means that the truths they possess, springing from goodness derived from the Lord, sustain the Lord's church in heaven.

A temple symbolizes the church, and the temple of My God symbolizes the Lord's church in heaven. It is apparent from this that a pillar symbolizes what sustains and stabilizes the church, and that is the Divine truth in the Word.

In the highest sense, a temple symbolizes the Lord in respect to His Divine humanity, particularly in respect to Divine truth. In a representative sense, however, a temple symbolizes the Lord's church in heaven, and so also the Lord's church in the world.

That a temple in the highest sense symbolizes the Lord in respect to His Divine humanity, and particularly in respect to Divine truth, is apparent from the following passages:

(Jesus said to the Jews,) "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." ...He was speaking of the temple of His body. (John 2:19, 21)

I saw no temple in (the New Jerusalem), for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. (Revelation 21:22)

Behold..., the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire. (Malachi 3:1)

I will bow myself toward Your holy temple... (Psalms 138:2)

...I will look again toward Your holy temple... And my prayer went to You, to Your holy temple. (Jonah 2:4, 7)

Jehovah is in His holy temple. (Habakkuk 2:20)

The holy temple of Jehovah or of the Lord is His Divine humanity, for it is to this that people bow, look to, and pray, and not to the temple merely, as the temple is not, in itself, holy. It is called a holy temple, because holiness is predicated of Divine truth (no. 173).

"The temple that sanctifies the gold" in Matthew 23:16-17 means nothing else than the Lord's Divine humanity.

[2] That a temple in a representative sense symbolizes the Lord's church in heaven, is apparent from the following passages:

(The) voice (of Jehovah) from the temple...! (Isaiah 66:6)

...a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven... (Revelation 16:17)

The temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. (Revelation 11:19)

...the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. And out of the temple came the seven angels... And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God... (Revelation 15:5-6, 8)

I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple... (Psalms 18:6)

I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty, and His skirts filled the temple. (Isaiah 6:1)

[3] That a temple symbolizes the church in the world is apparent from these passages:

Our holy... temple... has become a conflagration... (Isaiah 64:11)

I will shake all nations..., that I may fill this house with glory... The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former... (Haggai 2:7, 9)

The new temple in Ezekiel 40; 41; 42; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48 describes a church to be established by the Lord. A church is also meant in Revelation 11:1 by the temple that the angel measured. So likewise elsewhere, as in Isaiah 44:28, Jeremiah 7:2-4, 9-11, Zechariah 8:9.

...the disciples (of Jesus) came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, ."..Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left... upon another, that shall not be demolished." (Matthew 24:1-2)

The temple here symbolizes the church today; and its demolition means, symbolically, that not one stone would be left upon another. This symbolizes the end of that church, when not any truth would remain. For when the disciples spoke with the Lord about the temple, the Lord foretold the consecutive states of this church, even to its last one, or the end of the age; and the end of the age means the final period of the church, which is the one that exists today. This was represented by the destruction of that temple to its foundations.

[4] A temple has these three symbolic meanings, namely the Lord, the church in heaven, and the church in the world. Because these three are bound up together, they cannot be separated. Consequently one cannot be meant without the other. Therefore anyone who divorces the church in the world from the church in heaven, or the one or the other from the Lord, is without the truth.

The temple here means the church in heaven, because reference to the church in the world follows after this (no. 194).

Matthew 24

പഠനം

   

1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.

2 But he answered them, "You see all of these things, don't you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."

3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"

4 Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.

5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.

8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

9 Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.

10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

11 Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.

12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.

13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house.

18 Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.

19 But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!

20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,

21 for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.

23 "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it.

24 For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

25 "Behold, I have told you beforehand.

26 If therefore they tell you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' don't go out; 'Behold, he is in the inner rooms,' don't believe it.

27 For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28 For wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures gather together.

29 But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

30 and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

31 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

32 "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near.

33 Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

36 But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,

39 and they didn't know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left;

41 two women grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left.

42 Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes.

43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come.

45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.

47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,'

49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,

50 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't expect it, and in an hour when he doesn't know it,

51 and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
