申命记 7

Studie

   

1 耶和华─你领你进入要得为业之,从你面前赶出许多国民,就是赫人、革迦撒人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人,共国的民,都比你强大。

2 耶和华─你将他们交你击杀,那时你要把他们灭绝净尽,不可与他们立约,也不可怜恤他们。

3 不可与他们结亲。不可将你的女儿嫁他们的儿子,也不可叫你的儿子娶他们的女儿

4 因为他必使你儿子离不跟从,去事奉别,以致耶和华的怒气向你们发作,就速速地将你们灭绝。

5 你们却要这样待他们:拆毁他们的祭坛,打碎他们的柱像,砍下他们的木偶,用焚烧他们雕刻的偶像。

6 因为你归耶和华─你为圣洁的民;耶和华─你从地上的万民中拣选你,特作自己的子民。

7 耶和华专爱你们,拣选你们,并非因你们的人数多於别民,原来你们的人数在万民中是最少的。

8 只因耶和华爱你们,又因要守他向你们列祖所起的誓,就用大能的领你们出来,从为奴之家救赎你们脱离埃及法老的

9 所以,你要知道耶和华─你的,他是,是信实的;向他、守他诫命的人守约,施慈爱,直到

10 向恨他的人当面报应他们,将他们灭绝。凡恨他的人必报应他们,决不迟延。

11 所以,你要谨守遵行我今日所吩咐你的诫命、律例、典章。

12 你们果然从这些典章,谨守遵行,耶和华─你就必照他向你列祖所起的誓守约,施慈爱。

13 他必你,赐福与你,使你人数增多,也必在他向你列祖起誓应许你的地上赐福与你身所生的,地所产的,并你的五谷、新酒,和油,以及牛犊、羔。

14 你必蒙福胜过万民;你们的男女没有不能生养的,牲畜也没有不能生育的。

15 耶和华必使一切的病症离开你;你所知道埃及各样的恶疾,他不加在你身上,只加在一切恨你的人身上。

16 耶和华─你所要交你的一切人民,你要将他们除灭;你眼不可顾惜他们。你也不可事奉他们的,因这必成为你的网罗。

17 你若心里,这些国的民比我更多,我怎能赶出他们呢?

18 你不要惧他们,要牢牢记念耶和华─你法老埃及全地所行的事,

19 就是你亲眼所见的试验、迹、奇事,和能的,并伸出来的膀,都是耶和华─你领你出来所用的。耶和华─你必照样待你所惧怕的一切人民。

20 并且耶和华─你必打发黄蜂飞到他们中间,直到那剩下而藏躲的人从你面前灭亡。

21 你不要因他们惊恐,因为耶和华─你在你们中间是而可畏的

22 耶和华─你必将这些国的民从你面前渐渐赶出;你不可把他们速速灭尽,恐怕野地的兽多起来害你。

23 耶和华─你必将他们交你,的扰乱他们,直到他们灭绝了;

24 又要将他们的君交在你中,你就使他们的名从消灭。必无一能在你面前站立得住,直到你将他们灭绝了。

25 他们雕刻的像,你们要用焚烧;其上的,你不可贪图,也不可收取,免得你因此陷入网罗;这原是耶和华─你所憎恶的。

26 可憎的物,你不可进家去;不然,你就成了当毁灭的,与那物一样。你要十分厌恶,十分憎嫌,因为这是当毁灭的物。

An Invitation to the New Church #34

Bestudeer deze passage

  
/ 59  
  

34. The Coming of the Lord is according to the order that the spring does not come until after the winter, nor the morning until after the night; nor comfort and joy to the travailing woman until after the pain; that consolations are after temptations; one lives truly after death, even as the Lord says,

Except the grain... die, etc. (John 12:24).

The Lord exhibited the type of this order in that He suffered Himself to be crucified and to die, and afterwards rose again. This type signifies the state of the Church.... This, also, is involved in the image which appeared to Nebuchadnezzar, in that the Stone became a great Rock at the last; it is further involved in the four beasts out of the sea, and in what is related there concerning that horrible nation (all of which is to be explained). It is likewise involved in the four Ages known to the ancients, the golden, the silver, the copper and the iron ages; further, in the ages of every man, from infancy to old age-then is the end of the life of the body, and then comes the life of the spirit, which is the life of all those who have lived well. The same also is implied in the heaven which has first to pass away (Revelation 21:1-2). The case with the Church is similar.

15 The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.

16 They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
