阿摩司書 9

Студија

   

1 見主站在祭壇旁邊;他:你要擊打柱頂,使門檻震動,打碎柱頂,落在眾人上;所剩下的人,我必用刀殺戮,無一人能逃避,無一人能逃脫。

2 他們雖然挖透陰間,我的必取出他們來;雖然爬上去,我必拿他們來;

3 雖然藏在迦密山頂,我必搜尋,捉出他們來;雖然從我眼前藏在底,我必命咬他們;

4 雖被仇敵擄去,我必命刀殺戮他們;我必向他們定住眼目,降禍不降福。

5 ─萬軍之耶和華就消化,凡上的都必悲哀。必全然像尼羅河漲起,如同埃及河落下。

6 那在建造樓閣、在上安定穹蒼、命水澆在上的─耶和華是他的名。

7 耶和華以色列人哪,我豈不看你們如古實人嗎?我豈不是領以色列人埃及,領非利士人出迦斐託,領亞蘭人出吉珥嗎?

8 耶和華的眼目察看這有罪的國,必將這國從地上滅絕,卻不將雅各家滅絕淨盡。這是耶和華的。

9 我必出令,將以色列家分散在列國中,好像用篩子篩穀,連一粒也不落在上。

10 我民中的一切罪人:災禍必追不上我們,也迎不著我們。他們必在刀下。

11 到那日,我必建立大衛倒塌的帳幕,堵住其中的破口,把那破壞的建立起來,重新修造,像古時一樣,

12 使以色列人得以東所餘剩的和所有稱為我名下的國。此乃行這事的耶和華的。

13 耶和華:日子將到,耕種的必接續收割的;踹葡萄的必接續撒種的;大要滴下甜酒;小都必流奶(原文是消化,見約珥三章十八節)。

14 我必使我民以色列被擄的歸回;他們必重修荒廢的城邑居住,栽種葡萄園其中所出的酒,修造果木園,其中的果子。

15 我要將他們栽於本地,他們不再從我所賜他們的地上拔出來。這是耶和華─你的的。

Apocalypse Revealed # 705

705. 16:15 "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and preserves his garments." This symbolizes the Lord's advent and heaven then for people who look to Him and remain steadfast in a life in accordance with His precepts, which are the Word's truths.

To come as a thief, when said of the Lord, symbolizes His advent, and heaven then for people who have lived a good life, but hell for those who have lived an evil life, as may be seen in no. 164 above. That person is called blessed who receives eternal life (no. 639). To watch means, symbolically, to live spiritually, that is, to possess truths and live in accordance with them and look to the Lord (no. 158). And to preserve one's garments means, symbolically, to remain steadfast in those truths to the end of one's life. For garments symbolize truths that clothe (nos. 166, 212, 328), thus the Lord's precepts in the Word, because these are truths.

This meaning now follows in sequence from the preceding ones, for the subject before was the Lord's advent and a new church, and then an attack on that church by people of the former church; and because the conflict is at hand, those people who possess truths from the Word are admonished to remain steadfast in them, lest they succumb in the battle that is the subject of the following verse.

Revelation 16

Студија

   

1 I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth!"

2 The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.

3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.

4 The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you have judged these things.

6 For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this."

7 I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."

8 The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.

9 People were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn't repent and give him glory.

10 The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,

11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They didn't repent of their works.

12 The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.

13 I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;

14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God, the Almighty.

15 "Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn't walk naked, and they see his shame."

16 He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, Megiddo.

17 The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came forth out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

18 There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

19 The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague is exceedingly severe.
