Hosea 8

pag-aaral

   

1 Metu trumpeton al via busxo! Li flugas kiel aglo al la domo de la Eternulo, pro tio, ke ili agis kontraux Mia interligo kaj defalis de Mia instruo.

2 Al Mi ili vokos:Ho mia Dio, ni, Izraelidoj, ekkonis Vin.

3 Izrael forpusxis la bonon; malamiko lin persekutos.

4 Ili starigis regxojn, sed ne de Mi; ili starigis princojn, sed sen Mia scio; el sia argxento kaj oro ili faris al si idolojn, por pereigi sin.

5 Forpusxita estas via bovido, ho Samario; ekflamis kontraux ili Mia kolero; kiel longe ankoraux ili ne povos purigxi?

6 CXar gxi estas faritajxo de Izrael; artisto gxin faris, kaj gxi ne estas dio; dispecetigxos la bovido de Samario.

7 CXar ili semas venton, ili rikoltos ventegon; grenon li ne havos; la kreskantajxo ne donos farunon; se gxi ecx donos, fremduloj gxin formangxos.

8 Izrael estas formangxata; nun ili farigxis inter la popoloj kiel senvalora vazo.

9 CXar ili iris en Asirion, kiel sovagxa azeno solece vaganta; la Efraimidoj donis amajn donacojn.

10 Kvankam ili donis donacojn al la nacioj, Mi nun kolektus ilin, por ke ili iom ripozu de la sxargxo de la regxo de la princoj.

11 Sed multe da altaroj konstruis Efraim, por peki; ili farigxis por li altaroj pekigaj.

12 Mi skribis por li la multon de Miaj legxoj; sed li rigardas ilin kiel fremdajxon.

13 La oferojn, donacatajn al Mi, ili bucxas nur pro viando, por gxin mangxi; la Eternulo ne deziras ilin; nun Li rememoros iliajn malbonagojn kaj punos iliajn pekojn; ili revenos en Egiptujon.

14 Izrael forgesis sian Kreinton, kaj konstruas palacojn; Jehuda konstruis multe da fortikigitaj urboj; sed Mi sendos fajron sur liajn urbojn, kaj gxi ekstermos liajn palacojn.

Apocalypse Explained # 241

241. Verse 18. I counsel thee, signifies the means of reformation of those who are in the doctrine of faith alone. This is evident from what now follows, for the reformation of those who are in that doctrine is now treated of; therefore "I counsel thee" implies precepts as to how such must live that they may be reformed and thus saved.

Arcana Coelestia # 5577

5577. 'In the land' means in the case of the integral parts of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land' in the Word as the Church, and therefore here the integral parts of the Church; for whatever serves to mean the Church also means its integral parts since it is made up of these. The reason why in the Word 'the land' means the Church is that the land of Canaan was the one in which the Church had existed since most ancient times. Consequently when the expression 'the land' appears in the Word it is used to mean the land of Canaan; and when this particular land is meant one understands the Church. For when the expression 'the land' appears there, people in the spiritual world do not concern themselves with the idea of a land, only with the idea of the nation inhabiting it; yet not with an idea of that nation but with an idea of the essential nature of it. Consequently they concern themselves with an idea of the Church when 'the land', used to mean the land of Canaan, appears there.

[2] From this one may see how deluded those people are who believe - on the basis of prophetical utterances in the Old Testament, and in John in the New - that on the day when the last judgement takes place a new earth or land and a new heaven or sky are going to be created, when in fact nothing else than a new external Church is meant by 'a new earth' and a new internal Church by 'a new heaven'. These deluded people also believe that something other than the Church is meant when the expression 'the whole earth' is used in the Word. This shows how little understanding of the Word exists with those who imagine that the Word does not contain any meaning more holy than that shining out of the letter alone.

Regarding the existence of the Church in the land of Canaan since most ancient times, 3686, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136.

Regarding 'the land' in the Word meaning the Church, 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1413, 1607, 1928, 4447.

Regarding 'a new heaven and a new earth' meaning a new Church, internal and external, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 3355 (end), 4535.
