Oseas 3

1 Y me dijo otra vez el SEÑOR: Ve, ama una mujer amada de su compañero, y adúltera, como el amor del SEÑOR para con los hijos de Israel; los cuales miran a dioses ajenos, y aman frascos de vino.

2 La compré entonces para mí por quince dineros de plata, y un homer y medio de cebada;

3 y le dije: Tú estarás para mí muchos días; no fornicarás, ni tomarás otro varón; también estaré yo para ti.

4 Porque muchos días estarán los hijos de Israel sin Rey, y sin Señor, y sin sacrificio, y sin estatua, y sin efod, y sin terafín.

5 Después volverán los hijos de Israel, y buscarán al SEÑOR su Dios, y a David su rey; y temerán al SEÑOR y a su bondad en el fin de los días.

Apocalypse Explained #607

Study this Passage

  
/ 1232  
  

607. And lifted up his hand to heaven, signifies bearing witness before the angels respecting the state of the church. This is evident from the signification of "to lift up the hand to heaven," as being bearing witness before the angels; that it means respecting the state of the church is evident from what follows. That bearing witness before the angels is what is here signified by "lifting up the hand to heaven" may be concluded from this, that bearing witness is expressed by raising the hands to heaven; also from this, that "he sware by Him that liveth unto the ages of the ages that time shall be no more," as immediately follows, and "to swear" is an expression of bearing witness, and the "time that shall be no more" means the state of the church.
