പഠനം

   

1 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Ang pintuang-daan ng lalong loob na looban na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan ay sasarhan sa anim na araw na iginagawa; nguni't sa sabbath ay bubuksan, at sa kaarawan ng bagong buwan ay bubuksan.

2 At ang prinsipe ay papasok sa daan ng portiko ng pintuang-daan sa labas; at tatayo sa tabi ng haligi ng pintuang-daan; at maghahanda ang mga saserdote ng kaniyang handog na susunugin, at ng kaniyang mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, at siya'y sasamba sa may pasukan ng pintuang-daan; kung magkagayo'y lalabas siya; nguni't ang pintuang-daan ay hindi sasarhan hanggang sa hapon.

3 At ang bayan ng lupain ay sasamba sa may pintuan ng pintuang-daang yaon sa harap ng Panginoon sa mga sabbath at sa mga bagong buwan.

4 At ang handog na susunugin na ihahandog ng prinsipe sa Panginoon sa araw ng sabbath ay anim na batang tupa na walang kapintasan at isang lalaking tupang walang kapintasan;

5 At ang handog na harina ay isang efa sa lalaking tupa, at ang handog na harina sa mga batang tupa ay ang kaniyang kayang ibigay, at isang hin ng langis sa isang efa.

6 At sa kaarawan ng bagong buwan ay isang guyang toro na walang kapintasan, at anim na batang tupa at isang lalaking tupa; mga walang kapintasan:

7 At siya'y maghahanda ng handog na harina, isang efa sa toro, at isang efa sa lalaking tupa, at sa mga batang tupa ay ayon sa kaniyang kaya, at isang hin na langis sa isang efa.

8 At pagka ang prinsipe ay papasok, siya'y papasok sa daan ng portiko ng pintuang-daan, at sa daan ding yaon siya lalabas.

9 Nguni't pagka ang bayan ng lupain ay haharap sa Panginoon sa mga takdang kapistahan, siyang pumapasok sa daan ng pintuang-daang hilagaan upang sumamba ay lalabas sa daan ng pintuang-daang timugan ay lalabas sa daan ng pintuang-daang hilagaan; hindi siya babalik sa daan ng pintuang-daan na kaniyang pinasukan, kundi lalabas na matuwid sa harap niya.

10 At ang prinsipe, pagka sila'y magsisipasok, ay magsisipasok sa gitna ng mga yaon; at pagka sila'y magsisilabas ay magsisilabas na magkakasama.

11 At sa mga kapistahan at sa mga kadakilaan ay ang handog na harina ay magiging isang efa sa isang toro, at isang efa sa lalaking tupa, at sa mga batang tupa ay ang kayang ibigay niya, at isang hin ng langis sa isang efa.

12 At pagka ang prinsipe ay maghahanda ng kusang handog, ng handog na susunugin o ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan na pinakakusang handog sa Panginoon, may isang magbubukas sa kaniya ng pintuang-daan na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan; at kaniyang ihahanda ang kaniyang handog na susunugin at ang kaniyang mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, gaya ng kaniyang ginagawa sa araw ng sabbath; kung magkagayo'y lalabas siya; at pagkalabas niya ay sasarhan ng isa ang pintuang-daan.

13 At ikaw ay maghahanda ng isang batang tupa ng unang taon na walang kapintasan na pinakahandog na susunugin sa Panginoon araw-araw: tuwing umaga ay maghahanda ka.

14 At iyong ihahandang handog na harina na kasama niyaon tuwing umaga, ang ikaanim na bahagi ng isang efa, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng isang hin ng langis, upang basain ang mainam na harina; isang handog na harina na lagi sa Panginoon: na pinakalaging alituntunin.

15 Ganito nila ihahanda ang batang tupa at ang handog na harina, at ang langis, tuwing umaga, na pinakahandog na susunuging lagi.

16 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Kung ang prinsipe ay magbigay ng kaloob sa kanino man sa kaniyang mga anak, ay magiging kaniyang mana, mauukol sa kaniyang mga anak; siyang kanilang pag-aari na pinakamana.

17 Nguni't kung ibigay niya ang kaniyang mana na pinakakaloob sa isa sa kaniyang mga alipin, magiging kaniya sa taon ng kalayaan; kung magkagayo'y mababalik sa prinsipe; nguni't tungkol sa kaniyang mana, magiging sa kaniyang mga anak.

18 Bukod dito'y hindi kukuha ang prinsipe ng mana ng bayan, na aalisin sa kanila ang kanilang pag-aari; siya'y magbibigay ng mana sa kaniyang mga anak na mula sa kaniyang sariling pag-aari, upang ang aking bayan ay huwag mangalat bawa't isa sa kaniyang pag-aari.

19 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa pasukan, na nasa tabi ng pintuang-daan, sa loob ng mga banal na silid na ukol sa mga saserdote, na nakaharap sa hilagaan: at, narito, may isang dako sa lalong loob na bahagi na dakong kalunuran.

20 At sinabi niya sa akin, Ito ang dako na pagpapakuluan ng mga saserdote ng handog sa pagkakasala at ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, na siyang kanilang pagiihawan ng handog na harina; upang huwag nilang mailabas sa lalong labas na looban, upang banalin ang bayan.

21 Nang magkagayo'y inilabas niya ako sa labas ng looban ng bahay at pinaraan niya ako sa apat na sulok ng looban; at, narito, sa bawa't sulok ng looban ay may isang looban.

22 Sa apat na sulok ng looban ay may mga looban na nababakod, apat na pung siko ang haba at tatlong pu ang luwang: ang apat na ito sa mga sulok ay may isang sukat.

23 At may isang pader sa palibot ng mga yaon, sa palibot ng apat, at may ginawang pakuluang mga dako sa ilalim ng mga pader sa palibot.

24 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Ito ang mga dako na pakuluan na pagpapakuluan ng mga tagapangasiwa sa bahay ng hain ng bayan.

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).

Apocalypse Revealed #173

173. "'These things says He who is holy, who is true.'" This symbolically means the Lord in relation to Divine truth.

Clearly it means the Lord. He who is holy, who is true, is the Lord in relation to Divine truth, because the Lord is called holy owing to His Divine truth, and called just or righteous owing to His Divine goodness. It is in consequence of this that His emanating Divinity - which is Divine truth - is called the Holy Spirit; and here the Holy Spirit is He who is holy, who is true.

[2] Holiness is often mentioned in the Word, and it is everywhere predicated of truth; and because all truth that is true in itself originates from goodness and from the Lord, it is that truth that is called holy. In contrast, the goodness from which truth originates is called just or righteous. It is owing to this that angels governed by truths of wisdom, called spiritual angels, are termed holy, while angels governed by the goodness of love, called celestial angels, are termed just or righteous. The same is the case with people in the church.

It is because of this also that prophets and apostles are called saints, or holy, for prophets and apostles symbolize the church's doctrinal truths.

It is because of this, too, that the Word is called holy, for the Word is Divine truth. That is why the Law in the ark in the Tabernacle was called the most holy place and also the sanctuary.

That, too, is why Jerusalem is called holy, for Jerusalem symbolizes a church which possesses Divine truths.

For the same reason the altar, the Tabernacle, and the garments of Aaron and his sons were called holy after they were anointed with oil; for oil symbolizes the goodness of love, and this sanctifies or makes a thing holy, and everything made holy relates to truth.

[3] From the following passages it is apparent that the Lord alone is holy, because He is Divine truth itself:

Who shall not... O Lord..., glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. (Revelation 15:4)

...your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth shall He be called. (Isaiah 54:5)

Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One... (Isaiah 49:7)

As for our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 47:4)

Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel... (Isaiah 43:14)

...in that day... they will depend on Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. (Isaiah 10:20)

And also elsewhere, as Isaiah 1:4; 5:19; 12:6; 17:7; 29:19; 30:11-12; 41:16; 45:11, 15; 48:17; 55:5; 60:9, Jeremiah 50:29, Daniel 4:13, 23, Psalms 78:41.

Since the Lord is holiness itself, therefore the angel said to Mary,

...the holy thing that will be born of you shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)

And regarding Himself the Lord said,

(Father,) sanctify them with the truth. Your word is truth... ...for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified with truth. (John 17:17, 19)

[4] It is apparent from this that the truth that comes from the Lord is holiness itself, because He alone is holy - concerning which the Lord says the following:

When... the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all truth. ...He will not speak on His own... ...He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. (John 16:13-15)

The Counselor, the Holy Spirit..., He will teach you all things... (John 14:26)

To be shown that the Holy Spirit is the life in the Lord's wisdom, thus Divine truth, see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Lord 51.

It can be seen from this that He who is holy, who is true, is the Lord in relation to Divine truth.

That holiness is predicated of truth, and justice or righteousness of goodness, is apparent from passages in the Word where the two are mentioned, as in the following:

He who is just, let him be just still; he who is holy, let him be holy still. (Revelation 22:11)

Just and true are Your ways, O King of saints! (Revelation 15:3)

...to serve Him, in holiness and righteousness. (Luke 1:75)

...Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man... (Mark 6:20)

...the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (Revelation 19:8)
