Esekiel 48

Estude

   

1 Dette er stammenes navn: Fra nordenden langs Hetlon-veien til bortimot Hamat og Hasar-Enan ved Damaskus' landemerke, mot nord, ved siden av Hamat, der skal Dan ha landet, fra østsiden til havet - Dan én lodd.

2 Og langsmed Dans landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Aser én lodd.

3 Og langsmed Asers landemerke, fra østsiden og til vestsiden, Naftali én lodd.

4 Og langsmed Naftalis landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Manasse én lodd.

5 Og langsmed Manasses landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Efra'im én lodd.

6 Og langsmed Efra'ims landemerke, fra østsiden og til vestsiden, uben én lodd.

7 Og langsmed ubens landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Juda én lodd.

8 Og langsmed Judas landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, skal det område ligge som I skal avgi som gave til Herren; det skal være fem og tyve tusen stenger i bredde, og i lengde som én av stammeloddene, fra østsiden til vestsiden, og midt i der skal helligdommen være.

9 Det område som I skal avgi til Herren som gave, skal være fem og tyve tusen stenger langt og ti tusen bredt.

10 Og av denne hellige gave skal et stykke tilhøre prestene, i nord fem og tyve tusen stenger, i vest ti tusen i bredde, i øst ti tusen i bredde, og i syd fem og tyve tusen i lengde, og midt i der skal Herrens helligdom være.

11 Prestene, dem som er helliget blandt Sadoks sønner, som tok vare på det jeg vilde ha varetatt, som ikke forvillet sig dengang Israels barn fór vill, således som levittene forvillet sig,

12 dem skal det tilhøre som en del av det landområde som skal avgis til Herren, som et høihellig stykke langsmed levittenes landemerke.

13 Og levittene skal ved siden av prestenes landemerke ha fem og tyve tusen stenger i lengde og ti tusen i bredde; lengden skal i alt være fem og tyve tusen stenger, og bredden ti tusen.

14 De skal ikke selge eller bytte bort noget av det, og denne førstegrøde av landet skal ikke gå over til andre; for den er helliget til Herren.

15 De fem tusen stenger som er tilovers av bredden, langsmed de fem og tyve tusen, skal ikke være hellig land; det skal være til bruk for staden, til boliger og til jorder, og midt i der skal staden være.

16 Og dette er dens mål: Nordsiden skal være fire tusen og fem hundre stenger, og sydsiden fire tusen og fem hundre, og østsiden fire tusen og fem hundre, og vestsiden fire tusen og fem hundre.

17 Og staden skal ha jorder, i nord to hundre og femti stenger og i syd to hundre og femti og i øst to hundre og femti og i vest to hundre og femti.

18 Og det som er tilovers av lengden, langsmed den hellige gave, ti tusen stenger mot øst og ti tusen mot vest, det skal være langsmed den hellige gave, og av grøden av det skal være til føde for stadens arbeidere.

19 Og stadens arbeidere, av alle Israels stammer, skal dyrke det*. / {* jordstykket; ESK 48, 18.}

20 Hele gaven skal være fem og tyve tusen stenger i lengde og fem og tyve tusen i bredde; en fjerdedel i forhold til den hellige gave* skal I avgi til stadens eiendom. / {* ESK 48, 9-14.}

21 Og fyrsten skal ha det som er tilovers på begge sider av den hellige gave og av stadens eiendom, langsmed den fem og tyve tusen stenger brede lodd til den østre grense og mot vest langsmed de fem og tyve tusen stenger til den vestre grense, ved siden av stammeloddene*; det skal tilhøre fyrsten, og den hellige gave og husets helligdom skal være midt imellem. / {* d.e. Judas og Benjamins.}

22 Og det som ligger mellem Judas landemerke og Benjamins landemerke, med levittenes eiendom og stadens eiendom i midten, det skal tilhøre fyrsten.

23 Så kommer de andre stammer: Fra østsiden til vestsiden skal Benjamin ha én lodd.

24 Og langsmed Benjamins landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Simeon én lodd.

25 Og langsmed Simeons landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Issakar én lodd.

26 Og langsmed Issakars landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Sebulon én lodd.

27 Og langsmed Sebulons landemerke, fra østsiden til vestsiden, Gad én lodd.

28 Og langsmed Gads landemerke, på sydsiden, skal grensen mot syd gå fra Tamar til Meribas vann ved Kades; arven skal nå til det store hav.

29 Dette er det land som I skal lodde ut til Israels stammer av arven, og dette er deres lodder, sier Herren, Israels Gud.

30 Og dette er stadens yttergrenser: På nordsiden skal den måle fire tusen og fem hundre stenger;

31 og stadens porter skal opkalles efter Israels stammer; tre av dem skal ligge mot nord: ubens port én, Judas port én, Levis port én.

32 Og på østsiden skal den måle fire tusen og fem hundre stenger og ha tre porter: Josefs port én, Benjamins port én, Dans port én.

33 Og sydsiden skal måle fire tusen og fem hundre stenger og ha tre porter: Simeons port én, Issakars port én, Sebulons port én.

34 Vestsiden skal måle fire tusen og fem hundre stenger og ha tre porter: Gads port én, Asers port én, Naftalis port én.

35 undt omkring skal staden måle atten tusen stenger. Og stadens navn skal fra den dag være: Herren er der.

26. Again I swear in truth that these events and words occurred as I have related them, the first ones in the world of spirits, which is midway between heaven and hell, and the subsequent ones in a society of heaven, the society from which came the angel with the trumpet, who acted as guide.

Who in the Christian world would know anything about heaven and the joys and happiness there - knowledge of which is also knowledge of salvation - unless it pleased the Lord to open to someone the sight of his spirit and to show him and teach him?

Corroboration that things like these occur in the spiritual world appears plainly from the things seen and heard by the apostle John, as described in the book of Revelation. For example, he describes having seen the following:

The Son of Man in the midst of the seven lampstands. 1

A tabernacle, temple, ark, and altar in heaven. 2

A book sealed with seven seals. The book opened, and horses going out of it. 3

Four living creatures around a throne. 4

Twelve thousand taken from each tribe. 5

Locusts arising out of the abyss. 6

A dragon and its fight with Michael. 7

A woman giving birth to a male child and fleeing into the wilderness because of the dragon. 8

Two beasts, one rising up out of the sea, the other out of the earth. 9

A woman sitting on a scarlet beast. 10

The dragon cast into a lake of fire and brimstone. 11

A white horse, and a great supper. 12

A new heaven and a new earth, and the holy Jerusalem coming down, described as to its gates, wall, and foundations. 13

Also a river of water of life, and trees of life yielding fruits every month. 14

Besides many other things, all of which were seen by John, and seen when he was in the spirit 15 in the spiritual world and in heaven. In addition, those things which were seen by the apostles after the Lord's resurrection. 16 And which were later seen by Peter (Acts of the Apostles 11). 17 Also which were then seen and heard by Paul. 18

Moreover, there were the things seen by the prophets. For example, Ezekiel saw the following:

Four living creatures, which were cherubs. (Ezekiel 1 and 10)

A new temple and a new earth, and an angel measuring them. (Ezekiel 40-48)

Being carried off to Jerusalem, he saw the abominations there. (Ezekiel 8) And he was also carried off into Chaldea, to those in captivity. (Ezekiel 11) 19

Something similar happened with Zechariah:

He saw a man riding among myrtle trees. (Zechariah 1:8 ff.)

He saw four horns, and then a man with a measuring line in his hand. (Zechariah 1:18 ff., 2:1 ff.)

He saw a lampstand and two olive trees. (Zechariah 4:1 ff.)

He saw a flying scroll, and an ephah. (Zechariah 5:1, 6)

He saw four chariots coming from between two mountains, with horses. (Zechariah 6:1 ff.)

Likewise with Daniel:

He saw four beasts come up from the sea. (Daniel 7:1 ff.)

Also the combats of a ram and a goat. (Daniel 8:1 ff.)

He saw the angel Gabriel, who spoke at length with him. (Daniel 9) 20

Moreover, Elisha's young man saw fiery chariots and horses around Elisha, and he saw them when his eyes were opened. 21

From these and many other passages in the Word, it is evident that the things which exist in the spiritual world have appeared to many, before and after the Lord's Advent. Why should it be surprising for them to appear also now, when the Church is beginning and the New Jerusalem is coming down from the Lord out of heaven

Luke 24

Estude

   

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

3 They entered in, and didn't find the Lord Jesus' body.

4 It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

5 Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

6 He isn't here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?"

8 They remembered his words,

9 returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

11 These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn't believe them.

12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

13 Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

14 They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

15 It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

17 He said to them, "What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?"

18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things which have happened there in these days?"

19 He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

21 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

22 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

23 and when they didn't find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

24 Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn't see him."

25 He said to them, "Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Didn't the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"

27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

29 They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over." He went in to stay with them.

30 It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

32 They said one to another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?"

33 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

34 saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

35 They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

36 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."

37 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 While they still didn't believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

43 He took them, and ate in front of them.

44 He said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."

45 Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

46 He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 You are witnesses of these things.

49 Behold, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high."

50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 It happened, while he blessed them, that he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven.

52 They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
