耶利米书 44

1 有临到耶利米,论及一切埃及的犹大人,就是在密夺、答比匿、挪弗、巴忒罗境内的犹大人,说:

2 万军之耶和华以色列的如此:我所降与耶路撒冷犹大各城的一切灾祸你们都见了。那些城邑今日荒凉,无人居住

3 这是因居民所行的恶,去烧香事奉别,就是他们和你们,并你们列祖所不认识的,惹我发怒。

4 我从起来差遣我的仆人先知去说,你们切不要行我所厌恶这可憎之事。

5 他们却不从,不侧耳而,不离恶事,仍向别烧香。

6 因此,我的怒气和忿怒都倒出来,在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷的街上,如火着起,以致都荒废凄凉,正如今日一样。

7 现在耶和华─万军之以色列的如此:你们为何作这恶自害己命,使你们的男人妇女、婴孩,和吃奶的都从犹大中剪除、不留一呢?

8 就是因你们所做的,在所去寄居的埃及向别烧香惹我发怒,使你们被剪除,在天下万国中令人咒诅羞辱。

9 你们列祖的恶行,犹大和他们后妃的恶行,你们自己和你们妻子的恶行,就是在犹大耶路撒冷街上所行的,你们都忘了麽?

10 到如今还没有懊悔,没有惧,没有遵行我在你们和你们列祖面前所设立的法度律例。

11 所以万军之耶和华以色列的如此:我必向你们变脸降灾,以致剪除犹大众人。

12 那定意进入埃及、在那里寄居的,就是所剩下的犹大人,我必使他们尽都灭绝,必在埃及仆倒,必因刀饥荒灭绝;从最小的到至的都必遭刀饥荒而,以致令人辱骂、惊骇、咒诅、羞辱。

13 我怎样用刀、饥荒、瘟疫刑罚耶路撒冷,也必照样刑罚那些埃及的犹大人;

14 甚至那进入埃及寄居的,就是所剩下的犹大人,都不得逃脱,也不得存留归回犹大。他们心中甚想归回居住;除了逃脱的以外,一个都不能归回。

15 那些埃及巴忒罗知道自己妻子向别烧香的,与旁边站立的众妇女,聚集成群,回答耶利米

16 论到你奉耶和华的名向我们我们必不从。

17 我们定要成就我们中所出的一切,向后烧香、浇奠祭,按着我们我们列祖、君、首领在犹大的城邑中和耶路撒冷的街上素常所行的一样;因为那时我们吃饱饭、享福乐,并不见灾祸。

18 自从我们停止向后烧香、浇奠祭,我们倒缺乏一切,又因刀饥荒灭绝。

19 妇女:我们向后烧香、浇奠祭,做后像的饼供奉他,向他浇奠祭,是外乎我们的丈夫麽?

20 耶利米对一切那样回答他的男人妇女

21 你们与你们列祖、君、首领,并国内的百姓,在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷上所烧的香,耶和华岂不记念,中岂不思想麽?

22 耶和华因你们所作的恶、所行可憎的事,不能再容忍,所以你们的荒凉,令人惊骇咒诅,无人居住,正如今日一样。

23 你们烧香,得罪耶和华,没有听从他的话,没有遵行他的律法、条例、法度,所以你们遭遇这灾祸,正如今日一样。

24 耶利米又对众民和众妇女:你们在埃及的一切犹大人当耶和华的

25 万军之耶和华以色列的如此:你们和你们的妻都里做,我们定要偿还所许的愿,向后烧香、浇奠祭。现在你们只管坚定所许的愿而偿还罢!

26 所以你们埃及的一切犹大耶和华的耶和华:我指着我的名起誓,在埃及,我的名不再被犹大一个称呼:我指着─永生的耶和华起誓。

27 我向他们留意降祸不降福;在埃及的一切犹大必因刀、饥荒所灭,直到灭尽。

28 脱离刀、从埃及归回犹大的人数很少;那进入埃及要在那里寄居的,就是所剩下的犹大人,必知道是谁的立得住,是我的呢?是他们的呢?

29 耶和华:我在这地方刑罚你们,必有预兆,使你们知道我降祸与你们的必要立得住。

30 耶和华如此:我必将埃及王法老合弗拉交在他仇敌和寻索其命的人中,像我将犹大王西底家交在他仇敌和寻索其命的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒中一样。

Apocalypse Revealed #578

578. And all the earth went marveling after the beast. This symbolically means that then that faith was accepted with joy and made the doctrine of the whole church, because people were in that case not servants under the law, but free under faith.

That the earth went marveling symbolizes people's marveling that the "mortal injury" was healed, and their acceptance of that faith therefore with joy. All the earth symbolizes the entire Protestant Reformed Church, inasmuch as the earth is the church (no. 285). Consequently, that all the earth went marveling after the beast means symbolically that that faith was accepted with joy and made the doctrine of the whole church. People received it with joy because in that case they were not servants under the law, but free under faith - not knowing that the case is altogether the reverse, namely, that people who believe themselves to be free under faith, either because of that faith or by means of that faith, are servants to sin, that is to say, to the devil, for sin and the devil are one and the same. Indeed, they believe that in their case the law does not condemn. Thus they believe that to sin without the condemnation of the law is freedom, provided they have faith, even though this is the essence of servitude. On the other hand, when a person refrains from sin, that is, from the devil, he becomes no longer a servant but free.

[2] To this I will add the following account:

I have spoken with several church doctors in the world of spirits, asking what they mean by works of the law, and by the law under whose yoke, servitude and condemnation they say they are not.

They said they were the works of the law in the Decalogue.

At that I then said, "What does the Decalogue command? Is it not the following, 'You shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness'? These are the works of the law that you divorce from faith, saying that faith alone apart from works of the law justifies and saves, and that they are works for which Christ made satisfaction."

They replied that they were the works. And they heard then a voice from heaven saying, "Who can be so irrational?" And immediately their faces were turned in the direction of some diabolical spirits, with Machiavelli 1 among them, and many of the Jesuit order, who permitted all of these forbidden practices, provided they took precautions against the world's laws. And the church doctors would have joined their company, except that a society was interposed between them and separated them.

We are told that all the earth went marveling after the beast. That to go after it means to follow it and obey it, is apparent from the following passages:

...David... kept My commandments and... walked after Me with all his heart... (1 Kings 14:8)

The... sons of Jesse went... after Saul into battle. (1 Samuel 17:13)

You shall not go after a multitude to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute... after many to pervert justice. (Exodus 23:2)

...you shall not go after other gods whom you do not know. (Jeremiah 7:9)

They have gone after other gods to serve them. (Jeremiah 11:10, cf. Deuteronomy 8:19)

...Jehovah... will destroy...[every] man... who went after Baal of Peor. (Deuteronomy 4:3)

Fusnotat:

1. Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), an Italian statesman and writer, whose political theories published in The Prince put expediency above morality, and excused the use of deceit and craft in maintaining the authority of the ruler and the execution of his policies.
