Ezekielis 10

Study

   

1 Aš pažvelgiau aukštyn, ir štai skliaute, virš cherubų galvų, spindėjo lyg safyras, lyg sosto pavidalas.

2 Dėvinčiam drobiniais Jis kalbėjo: “Eik tarp ratų po cherubais, paimk rankomis žėruojančių anglių, esančių prie cherubų, ir išbarstyk jas mieste”. Aš mačiau, kaip jis ėjo.

3 Cherubai stovėjo šventyklos pietų pusėje. Kai vyras įėjo, debesis pripildė vidinį kiemą.

4 Viešpaties šlovė pasitraukė nuo cherubo prie šventyklos įėjimo; debesiui pripildžius namus, Viešpaties šlovės spindesio buvo pilnas visas kiemas.

5 Cherubų sparnų šlamėjimas buvo girdėti net išoriniame kieme lyg visagalio Dievo balsas.

6 Kai Jis įsakė drobiniais apsirengusiam: “Paimk ugnies tarp ratų po cherubais”, jis ėjo ir atsistojo prie ratų.

7 Cherubas ištiesė ranką į ugnį, kuri buvo tarp jų, paėmė jos ir padavė ją vyrui, dėvinčiam drobiniais. Jis, gavęs ugnies, išėjo.

8 Po cherubų sparnais buvo lyg žmogaus rankos.

9 Aš stebėjau ir mačiau prie kiekvieno cherubo po ratą. atai žėrėjo lyg krištolas.

10 Visi keturi ratai buvo vienodi ir atrodė, lyg būtų ratas rate.

11 Jie galėjo judėti nepasisukę keturiomis kryptimis. Į kurią pusę buvo nukreipta galva, jie sekė iš paskos.

12 Visų keturių kūnai, nugaros, rankos, sparnai ir ratai buvo pilni akių.

13 Man girdint, ratai buvo pavadinti sūkuriu.

14 Kiekvienas cherubas turėjo keturis veidus: pirmasis veidas buvo cherubo, antrasis­žmogaus, trečiasis­liūto, ketvirtasis­erelio.

15 Cherubai pakilo. Tai buvo tos pačios būtybės, kurias mačiau prie Kebaro upės.

16 Kai cherubai judėjo, su jais judėjo ir ratai. Kai cherubai pakeldavo sparnus pakilti nuo žemės, ratai nepasitraukdavo nuo jų.

17 Kai anie sustodavo, stovėdavo ir šie, nes būtybių dvasia buvo juose.

18 Viešpaties šlovė, pakilus nuo šventyklos durų, sustojo ant cherubų.

19 Man matant, cherubai pakėlė sparnus ir pakilo nuo žemės, o ratai pakilo kartu su jais. Jie sustojo prie Viešpaties šventyklos rytinių vartų, ir Izraelio Dievo šlovė stovėjo virš jų.

20 Tai buvo tos pačios būtybės, kurias mačiau prie Kebaro upės po Izraelio Dievu. Aš supratau, kad tai buvo cherubai.

21 Kiekvienas turėjo po keturis veidus bei keturis sparnus. Po sparnais buvo lyg žmogaus rankos.

22 Jų veidų išvaizda buvo visai tokia, kokią mačiau prie Kebaro upės. Jie judėjo tiesiai pirmyn.

Doctrine of the Lord #38

38. The Lord is called Jehovah. This is apparent from the following:

...thus said Jehovah, your Creator, O Jacob, and your Maker, O Israel: “...for I have redeemed you.... ...I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:1, 3)

I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. (Isaiah 43:15)

Thus said Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker.... (Isaiah 45:11, cf. 45:15)

...that all flesh may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)

...that you may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)

...Jehovah...your Maker from the womb.... (Isaiah 49:5)

...O Jehovah, my rock, and my Redeemer! (Psalms 19:14)

Thus said Jehovah, your Maker, and your Former from the womb.... Thus said Jehovah, the King of Israel, and its Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts.... (Isaiah 44:2, 6)

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

“With everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you.” Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:8)

Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah of Hosts is His name. (Jeremiah 50:34)

Jehovah (God) is my rock, my fortress, and...the horn of my salvation..., my Savior.... (2 Samuel 22:2-3)

...said Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.... (Isaiah 43:14, 48:17)

Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One...: “Kings shall see....” (Isaiah 49:7)

I...am Jehovah, and besides Me there is no Savior. (Isaiah 43:11)

Have not I, Jehovah? And there is no other God besides Me, (and)...a Savior, there is none besides Me. Look to Me, that you may be saved, all you ends of the earth! (Isaiah 45:21-22)

I am Jehovah your God..., and...there is no Savior besides Me. (Hosea 13:4)

You have redeemed me, O Jehovah, God of truth. (Psalms 31:5)

Let Israel hope in Jehovah; for with Jehovah there is mercy, ...with Him is abundant redemption. He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities. (Psalms 130:7-8)

...Jehovah of Hosts is His name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He shall be called God of the whole earth. (Isaiah 54:5)

In these passages Jehovah is called Redeemer and Savior, and because the Lord alone is the Redeemer and Savior, it is the Lord who is meant by Jehovah.

[2] That the Lord is Jehovah, or in other words, that Jehovah is the Lord, is apparent also from the following:

A Rod shall come forth from the stem of Jesse, and an Offshoot out of his roots shall bear fruit. The Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon Him.... (Isaiah 11:1-2)

It will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him to save us. This is Jehovah, for whom we have waited; we will rejoice and be glad in His salvation.” (Isaiah 25:9)

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of Jehovah; make smoothe in the desert a highway for our God.... (For) the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it....” Behold, the Lord Jehovih is coming in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him. (Isaiah 40:3, 5, 10)

I, Jehovah...will...give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles.... I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another.... (Isaiah 42:6-8)

Behold, the days are coming...when I will raise to David a righteous offshoot, (who) shall reign as king and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.... And this is His name by which they will call Him: Jehovah Our Righteousness. (Jeremiah 23:5-6, cf. 33:15-16)

You, Bethlehem Ephrathah..., out of you shall come forth to Me One to be Ruler in Israel.... He shall stand and give pasture in the strength of Jehovah.... (Micah 5:2, 4)

...unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called...God, Hero, Father of Eternity...., upon the throne of David..., to establish it and found it with judgment and justice, from that time on and even to eternity. (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Jehovah will go forth and fight against the nations.... And...His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem.... (Zechariah 14:3-4)

Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you doors of the world, that the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and a hero, Jehovah a hero of war. (Psalms 24:7-10)

In that day Jehovah of Hosts will become a crown of adornment and a miter of beauty to the remnant of His people. (Isaiah 28:5)

...I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great...day of Jehovah. (Malachi 4:5)

And so on elsewhere in places that mention the great and coming day of Jehovah, such as Ezekiel 30:3, Joel 2:11, Amos 5:18, 20, Zephaniah 1:7, 14-15, 18.
