89. 7. From the Prophets
See also Redemption.
Thus said Jehovah, thy Maker and thy Former from the womb, For I will pour waters upon the thirsty and streams upon the dry land: I will pour out My spirit upon thy seed and My blessing upon thine offspring: and they shall spring up among the grass, and as willows by the rivers of waters (Isaiah 44:2-3, 4). I have formed thee; thus said thy Redeemer and thy Former from the womb, I am Jehovah that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; and spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself. I will blot out as a cloud, thy transgressions and as a cloud thy sins: return unto Me; for I have redeemed thee (Isaiah 44:21-24).
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds flow down with justice: let the earth open that they may bring forth salvation, and let justice spring forth together. Thus said Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and His Former, I have made the earth, and I have created man upon it: My hands have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded (Isaiah 45:8, 11-12).
Jehovah said, my Former from the womb (Isaiah 49:5).
That regeneration, which will take place in the New Church, is described by dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-15), and also by the two sticks of Judah and Joseph, which were to become one stick (verses 15-20). That this is done by the Lord, who is there meant by David (verses 24-28).
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a steadfast spirit in the midst of me. And take not the spirit of holiness from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let Thy free spirit uphold me (Psalms 51:10-12).
Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, and He will hear their cry (Psalms 145:18-19).
1
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
7
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
9
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
