Jeremias 42

Дослідження

   

1 Så kom alle hærførerene og Johanan, Kareas søn, og Azarja, Maasejas søn, med alt Folket, store og små,

2 og sagde til Profeten Jeremias: "Måtte vor Bøn nå dit Øre, så du beder til HE EN din Gud for hele denne est, thi som du ser os her, er vi kun få tilbage af mange.

3 Måtte HE EN din Gud kundgøre os, hvilken Vej vi skal , og hvad vi skal gøre!"

4 Profeten Jeremias svarede: "Godt! Jeg vil bede til HE EN eders Gud, som I ønsker; og alt hvad HE EN svarer, vil jeg kundgøre eder uden at forholde eder et Ord."

5 De sagde da til Jeremias: "HE EN skal være et sandt og troværdigt Vidne imod os, hvis vi ikke retter os efter hvert Ord, HE EN din Gud sender os ved dig.

6 Det være godt eller ondt, vi vil adlyde HE EN vor Guds øst, til hvem vi sender dig, at det må gå os vel, når vi adlyder HE EN vor Guds øst."

7 Ti Dage efter kom HE ENs Ord til Jeremias.

8 Så sammenkaldte han Johaoan, Kareas Søn, alle Hærføreme, der var med ham, og alt Folket, store og små,

9 og sagde: Så siger HE EN, Israels Gud, til hvem I sendte mig, for at eders Bøn måtte nå ind for hans Åsyn:

10 Hvis I bliver her i Landet, vil jeg bygge eder og ikke nedbryde eder, plante eder og ikke rykke eder op, thi jeg angrer det onde, jeg har gjort eder.

11 Frygt ikke for Babels Konge, således som I gør, Frygt ikke for ham, lyder det fra HE EN, thi jeg er med eder for at frelse og redde eder af hans Hånd.

12 Jeg vil lade eder finde Barmhjertighed, og han skal forbarme sig over eder og lade eder bo i eders Land.

13 Hvis I derimod ikke hører HE EN eders Guds øst, idet I siger, at I ikke vil bo her i Landet,

14 men drage til Ægypten og bo der for ikke mere at se Krig eller høre Hornets Klang eller hungre efter Brød,

15 hør nu HE ENs Ord, Judas est. Så siger Hærskarers HE E, Israels Gud: Hvis I virkelig har i Sinde at drage til Ægypten og drager derned for at bo der som fremmede,

16 så skal Sværdet, som I frygter, nå eder der i Ægypten, og Hungeren, som I ængstes for, skal følge efter eder til Ægypten, og I skal omkomme der;

17 alle de Mænd, som har i Sinde at drage til Ægypten for at bo der som fremmede, skal ved Sværd, Hunger og Pest, og ingen af dem skal blive tilovers og undslippe fra den Ulykke, jeg sender over dem.

18 Thi så siger Hærskarers HE E, Israels Gud: Som min Vrede og Harme udgød sig over Jerusalems Indbyggere, således skal min Harme udgyde sig over eder, når I drager til Ægypten, og I skal blive et. Edens, ædselens, Forbandelsens og Spottens Tegn og ikke mere få dette Sted at se.

19 Dette er HE ENs Ord til eder. Judas est: Drag ikke til Ægypten! I skal vide, at jeg i Dag har advaret eder.

20 Thi I nedkalder ondt over eder selv, når I sender mig til HE EN eders Gud og siger: "Bed for os til HE EN vor Gud! Hvad HE EN vor Gud siger, skal du nøje kundgøre os, så vil vi gøre det,"

21 og I så alligevel ikke adlyder HE EN eders Guds øst og gør alt, hvad han sendte eder Bud om.

22 Så vid da nu, at I skal omkomme ved Sværd, Hunger og Pest på det Sted, hvor I agter at gå hen for at bo der somfremmede.

158. ADDITIONAL NOTE

Since this chapter has dealt with the Holy Spirit, it is of importance to note that the Holy Spirit is nowhere named in the Old Testament Word, but only 'the Spirit of holiness' in three passages, one in the Psalms of David (Psalms 51:11), and two in Isaiah (Isaiah 63:10-11). But there are frequent references in the New Testament Word, as much in the Gospels as in the Acts of the Apostles and in their Epistles. The reason is that the Holy Spirit first existed when the Lord came into the world, for it came out of Him from the Father; for 'the Lord alone is holy' (Revelation 15:4). For this reason too the angel Gabriel speaking to Mary the mother of Jesus said 'the holy thing which will be born of you' (Luke 1:35). The reason why we read 'The Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified' (John 7:39), although it was said earlier that the Holy Spirit filled Elizabeth (Luke 1:41) and Zechariah (Luke 1:67), as well as Simeon (Luke 2:25), was that it was the spirit of Jehovah the Father which filled them; and it was called the Holy Spirit because the Lord was already at that time in the world.

This is why nowhere in the Old Testament Word does it say that the Prophets spoke from the Holy Spirit, but from Jehovah. For everywhere we read 'Jehovah spoke to me', 'The Word from Jehovah came to me', 'Jehovah said', 'The saying of Jehovah.'

To remove all possibility of doubt I propose to quote the passages solely in Jeremiah where these expressions occur:

2:1-5, 9, 19, 22, 29, 31;

32:1, 6, 14-15, 25-26, 28, 30, 36, 42, 44;

33:1-2, 4, 10-13, 17, 19-20, 23, 25;

34:1-2, 4, 8, 12-13, 22;

35:1, 13, 17-19;

50:1, 4, 10, 18, 20-21, 30-31, 33, 35, 40;

51:25, 33, 36, 39, 52, 58.

These are solely from Jeremiah. There are similar expressions in all the other Prophets, but it is never said that the Holy Spirit spoke, nor that Jehovah spoke to them by means of the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 3

Дослідження

   

1 "They say, 'If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and become another man's, will he return to her again?' Wouldn't that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me," says Yahweh.

2 "Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been lain with? You have sat for them by the ways, as an Arabian in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness.

3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; yet you have a prostitute's forehead, you refused to be ashamed.

4 Will you not from this time cry to me, 'My Father, you are the guide of my youth?'

5 "'Will he retain [his anger] forever? Will he keep it to the end?' Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way."

6 Moreover, Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, "Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the prostitute.

7 I said after she had done all these things, 'She will return to me;' but she didn't return; and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

8 I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, didn't fear; but she also went and played the prostitute.

9 It happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense," says Yahweh.

11 Yahweh said to me, "Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, 'Return, you backsliding Israel,' says Yahweh; 'I will not look in anger on you; for I am merciful,' says Yahweh. 'I will not keep [anger] forever.

13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against Yahweh your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,' says Yahweh."

14 "Return, backsliding children," says Yahweh; "for I am a husband to you. I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

15 I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

16 It shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days," says Yahweh, "they shall say no more, 'The ark of the covenant of Yahweh!' neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more.

17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem 'The throne of Yahweh;' and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem. Neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers.

19 "But I said, 'How I would put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!' and I said, 'You shall call me "My Father," and shall not turn away from following me.'

20 "Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel," says Yahweh.

21 A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping [and] the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Yahweh their God.

22 Return, you backsliding children, I will heal your backsliding. "Behold, we have come to you; for you are Yahweh our God.

23 Truly in vain is [the help that is looked for] from the hills, the tumult on the mountains. Truly the salvation of Israel is in Yahweh our God.

24 But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day. We have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God."
