Jonas 2

Учиться

   

1 Men Herren lot en stor fisk komme og sluke Jonas, og Jonas var i fiskens buk tre dager og tre netter.

2 Og Jonas bad til Herren sin Gud fra fiskens buk

3 og sa: Jeg kalte på Herren i min nød, og han svarte mig; fra dødsrikets skjød ropte jeg, du hørte min røst.

4 Du kastet mig i dypet, midt i havet, og vannstrømmer omgav mig; alle dine brenninger og dine bølger gikk over mig.

5 Jeg tenkte: Jeg er støtt bort fra dine øine. Men jeg skal atter skue op til ditt hellige tempel.

6 Vannene omringet mig like til sjelen, dypet omgav mig, tang innhyllet mitt hode,

7 til fjellenes grunnvoller sank jeg ned, jordens bommer var lukket efter mig for evig. Men du førte mitt liv op av graven, Herre min Gud!

8 Da min sjel vansmektet i mig, kom jeg Herren i hu, og min bønn kom til dig i ditt hellige tempel.

9 De som holder sig til de tomme avguder, de forlater sin miskunnhet*. / {* sin miskunnelige Gud; SLM 144, 2.}

10 Men jeg vil ofre til dig med takksigelses røst; det jeg har lovt, vil jeg holde; frelsen hører Herren til.

11 spydde fisken på Herrens bud Jonas ut på det tørre land.

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.
