Exodo 33

Студија

   

1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, Yumaon ka, sumampa ka mula rito, ikaw at ang bayan na iyong isinampa mula sa lupain ng Egipto, na patungo kayo sa lupain na aking isinumpa kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob, na aking sinasabi, Sa iyong binhi ay aking ibibigay.

2 At aking susuguin ang isang anghel sa unahan mo: at aking palalayasin ang Cananeo, ang Amorrheo, at ang Hetheo, at ang Pherezeo, ang Heveo, at ang Jebuseo:

3 Sa isang lupaing binubukalan ng gatas at pulot: sapagka't hindi ako sasampa sa gitna mo; sapagka't ikaw ay bayang may matigas na ulo; baka ikaw ay aking lipulin sa daan.

4 At nang marinig ng bayan ang masasamang balitang ito, ay nanangis sila: at walang taong nagsuot ng kaniyang mga pahiyas.

5 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Sabihin mo sa mga anak ni Israel, Kayo'y isang bayang may matigas na ulo: kung ako'y sumampa sa gitna mo na sangdali, ay lilipulin kita: kaya't ngayo'y alisin mo ang iyong mga pahiyas sa iyo upang aking maalaman kung anong aking gagawin sa iyo.

6 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay naghubad ng kanilang mga pahiyas mula sa bundok ng Horeb.

7 Kinaugalian nga ni Moises na dalhin ang tolda at itayo sa labas ng kampamento, na malayo sa kampamento at kaniyang tinawag iyon, Tabernakulo ng kapisanan. At nangyari na bawa't magsiyasat sa Panginoon ay lumalabas na pumaparoon sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, na nasa labas ng kampamento.

8 At nangyari, pagka si Moises ay lumalabas na napasa sa Tolda, na ang buong bayan ay bumabangon at tumatayo, bawa't lalake sa pintuan ng kaniyang tolda at pinanonood si Moises hanggang sa makapasok sa Tolda.

9 At nangyari, pagka si Moises ay pumapasok sa Tolda ay bumababa ang haliging ulap at tumitigil sa pintuan ng Tolda ang Panginoon ay nakikipagsalitaan kay Moises.

10 At nakikita ng buong bayan ang haliging ulap at tumitigil sa pintuan ng Tolda; at ang buong bayan ay tumitindig at sumasamba, na bawa't isa'y sa tabi ng pintuan ng kaniyang tolda.

11 At nakikipagsalitaan ang Panginoon kay Moises ng mukhaan, gaya ng isang taong nakikipagsalitaan sa kaniyang kaibigan. At siya'y bumabalik uli sa kampamento, datapuwa't ang kaniyang tagapangasiwang si Josue, na anak ni Nun, na may kabataan pa, ay hindi umaalis sa Tolda.

12 At sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, Tingnan mo, iyong sinasabi sa akin: Isampa mo ang bayang ito: at hindi mo ipinakilala sa akin kung sino yaong susuguin mo na kasama ko. Gayon ma'y iyong sinabi, Aking nakikilala ka sa pangalan, at ikaw rin naman ay nakasumpong ng biyaya sa aking paningin.

13 Ngayon nga, isinasamo ko sa iyo, na kung ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, ay ituro mo sa akin ngayon ang iyong mga daan, upang ikaw ay aking makilala, na ano pa't ako'y makasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin: at akalain mo, na ang bansang ito ay iyong bayan.

14 At kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y sasa iyo, at ikaw ay aking bibigyan ng kapahingahan.

15 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Kung ikaw ay hindi sasa akin ay huwag mo na kaming pasampahin mula rito.

16 Sapagka't saan ngayon makikilala na ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, ako at ang iyong bayan? hindi ba dahil sa ikaw ay lumalakad na kasama namin, upang kami ay maging bukod, ako at ang iyong bayan, sa lahat ng bayan na nasa balat ng lupa?

17 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Akin ding gagawin ang bagay na ito na iyong sinalita: sapagka't ikaw ay nakasumpong ng biyaya sa aking paningin, at ikaw ay aking nakikilala sa pangalan.

18 At sinabi ni Moises, Ipakita mo sa akin, idinadalangin ko sa iyo, ang iyong kaluwalhatian.

19 At kaniyang sinabi, Aking papangyayarihin ang aking buong kabutihan sa harap mo, at aking itatanyag ang pangalan ng Panginoon sa harap mo; at ako'y magkakaloob ng biyaya sa kanino mang aking ibig pagkalooban, at ako'y magmamaawain sa kanino mang aking ibig kaawaan.

20 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi mo makikita ang aking mukha: sapagka't hindi maaaring makita ako ng tao at mabuhay.

21 At sinabi ng Panginoon, Narito, may isang dako sa tabi ko, at ikaw ay tatayo sa ibabaw ng batong iyan:

22 At mangyayari, na samantalang ang aking kaluwalhatian ay dumadaan, na aking ilalagay ka sa isang bitak ng bato, at tatakpan kita ng aking kamay hanggang sa ako'y makaraan:

23 At aking aalisin ang aking kamay, at iyong makikita ang aking likod: datapuwa't ang aking mukha ay hindi makikita.

Rise

  

It is common in the Bible for people to "rise up," and it would be easy to pass over the phrase as simply describing a physical action. But in fact it represents an elevation in spiritual state, moving to a more internal frame of mind closer to the Lord. Often it has to do with understanding a new or important idea; we "rise up" to a state of greater perception and enlightenment. Obviously context is crucial to the exact meaning of the phrase in a given passage -- it matters greatly who it is that is rising up, and why.

3355. In the internal sense 'an earthquake' is an alteration of the state of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the earth' as the Church, dealt with in 566, 662, 1066, 1068, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, and from the meaning of 'a quake' as an alteration of state, here an alteration as regards the things that constitute the Church, namely good and truth. This is also evident from other places in the Word, as in Isaiah,

It will happen, that he who is fleeing from the sound of the terror will fall into the pit, and he who is climbing out of the middle of the pit will be caught in the snare, for the floodgates from on high have been opened and the foundations of the earth have been made to tremble, the earth has been utterly shattered. The earth has been made to quake thoroughly, the earth staggers like a drunken man, it sways to and fro like a hut, and heavy upon it is its transgression, and it will fall and not rise again. And it will be on that day, that Jehovah will visit the host of the height on high and the kings of the ground on the ground. Isaiah 24:18-21.

Here it is quite evident that 'the earth' is the Church, for the subject is a Church whose 'foundations' are said to 'have been made to tremble', while the Church itself, having been 'shattered' and 'made to quake', 'staggers' and 'sways to and fro' when good and truth are not known any longer. 'The kings of the ground' are truths, in this case falsities, upon which visitation will take place. As regards 'kings' meaning truths and in the contrary sense falsities, see 1672, 2015, and as regards 'the ground' being similar in meaning to 'the earth', namely the Church, though there is a difference, see 566, 1068.

[2] In the same prophet,

I will make a man (homo) more rare than pure gold, and a man (homo) than the gold of Ophir. Therefore I will make heaven quake and the earth will quake out of its place, at the wrath of Jehovah Zebaoth and in the day of His fierce anger. Isaiah 13:12-13.

Here also, the subject being Judgement Day, 'the earth' plainly stands for the Church which is said to 'quake out of its place' when it undergoes a change of state - 'place' meaning state, see 1273-1275, 1377, 2625, 2837. In the same prophet,

Is this the man who, making the earth quake, making the kingdoms quake, makes the world into a wilderness and destroys its cities? Isaiah 14:16-17.

This refers to Lucifer. 'The earth' stands for the Church, which is said 'to quake' when it lays claim to all things as its own. For 'kingdoms' means the truths accepted by the Church, see 1672, 2547.

[3] In Ezekiel,

It will be on that day, that Gog will come over the land of Israel. My wrath will come up in My anger and in My zeal. In the fire of My wrath I will say, Surely on that day there will be a great earthquake on Israel's ground. Ezekiel 38:18-20.

'Gog' stands for external worship that has been separated from internal and so made idolatrous, 1151. 'Israel's land' or 'ground' stands for the spiritual Church, 'an earthquake' for an alteration of its state. In Joel,

The earth quaked before Him, the heavens trembled. The sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars withdrew their shining. Joel 2:10.

This also refers to Judgement Day. 'The earth quaked' stands for an altered state of the Church, 'the sun and moon' for the good of love and the truth of faith, 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495, which are said to be 'darkened' when goods and truths are not acknowledged any longer. 'The stars' stands for cognitions of good and truth, 2495, 2849. In David,

The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook and trembled because He was angered. Psalms 18:6-7.

'The earth trembled and quaked' stands for the Church when its state has become perverted.

[4] In John,

When he opened the sixth seal I looked again, and behold, a great earthquake took place, and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the full moon became like blood, and the stars in the sky fell to the earth. Revelation 6:12-13.

Here 'an earthquake', 'the sun', 'the moon', and 'the stars' have a similar meaning to that which they have above in Joel. In the same book,

At that hour a great earthquake took place, and a tenth part of the city fell, and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand people. 1 Revelation 11:13.

From all these places it is evident that 'an earthquake' means nothing other than an alteration of the state of the Church, and that 'the earth' has no other meaning in the internal sense than the Church. And since 'the earth' is the Church it is clear that 'the new heaven and the new earth' which are to take the place of the previous heaven and earth, Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; Revelation 21:1, means nothing other than a new Church, internal and external, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end).
