Jeremijas 47

Studie

   

1 Viešpats kalbėjo pranašui Jeremijui apie filistinus, prieš faraonui užimant Gazą:

2 “Vandenys kyla iš šiaurės ir tampa patvinusia upe, apsemia kraštą ir visa, kas jame, miestus ir jų gyventojus. Žmonės šauks, visi krašto gyventojai dejuos

3 nuo žirgų trypimo, kovos vežimų dundėjimo, jų ratų dardėjimo. Tėvai nebesirūpins vaikais, jų rankos nusvirs.

4 Apiplėšimo diena ateina visam filistinų kraštui, kad sunaikintų paskutinius Tyro ir Sidono padėjėjus. Viešpats sunaikins filistinus, Kaftoro krašto likutį.

5 Gaza nupliko, Aškelonas sunaikintas, kartu ir jų slėnių liekanos. Ar ilgai tu raižysi save?

6 Viešpaties karde, ar ilgai tu nenurimsi? Sugrįžk atgal į makštį, liaukis ir nurimk!

7 Kaip jis gali nurimti, kai Viešpats jį pasiuntė prieš Aškeloną ir pajūrį?”

God

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.
