1 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

2 Και συ, υιε ανθρωπου, αναλαβε θρηνον δια την Τυρον,

3 και ειπε προς την Τυρον την κειμενην εν τη εισοδω της θαλασσης, την εμπορευομενην μετα των λαων εν πολλαις νησοις, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Τυρος, συ ειπας, Εγω ειμαι πληρης εις το καλλος.

4 Τα ορια σου ειναι εν τη καρδια των θαλασσων, οι οικοδομοι σου εκαμον πληρες το καλλος σου.

5 Εκτισαν παντα τα πλευρα των πλοιων σου εξ ελατων απο Σενειρ· ελαβον κεδρους εκ του Λιβανου δια να καμωσι καταρτια εις σε.

6 Εκ των δρυων της Βασαν εκαμον τα κωπια σου· εκαμον τα καθισματα σου εξ ελεφαντος, εν πυξω απο των νησων των Κητιαιων.

7 Λεπτον λινον εξ Αιγυπτου κεντητον εξηπλονες εις σεαυτην δια πανια· κυανουν και πορφυρουν εκ των νησων Ελεισα ητο το επισκηνωμα σου.

8 Οι κατοικοι της Σιδωνος και Αρβαδ ησαν οι κωπηλαται σου· οι σοφοι σου, Τυρος, οι οντες εν σοι, αυτοι ησαν οι κυβερνηται των πλοιων σου.

9 Οι πρεσβυτεροι της Γεβαλ και οι σοφοι αυτης ησαν εν σοι οι επισκευασται των χαλασματων σου· παντα τα πλοια της θαλασσης και οι ναυται αυτων ησαν εν σοι, δια να εμπορευωνται το εμποριον σου.

10 Περσαι και Λυδιοι και Λιβυες ησαν εν τοις στρατευμασι σου οι ανδρες σου οι πολεμισται· ασπιδας και περικεφαλαιας εκρεμων εις σε· ουτοι επεδεικνυον την μεγαλοπρεπειαν σου.

11 Οι ανδρες της Αρβαδ μετα του στρατευματος σου ησαν κυκλω επι τα τειχη σου, και οι Γαμμαδιται επι τους πυργους σου· εκρεμων τας ασπιδας αυτων επι τα τειχη σου κυκλω· ουτοι συνεπληρουν το καλλος σου.

12 Η Θαρσεις εμπορευετο μετα σου εις πληθος παντος πλουτου· με αργυρον, σιδηρον, κασσιτερον και μολυβδον εμπορευοντο εν ταις αγοραις σου.

13 Ιαυαν, Θουβαλ και Μεσεχ ησαν εμποροι σου· εν τη αγορα σου εμπορευοντο ψυχας ανθρωπων και σκευη χαλκινα.

14 Απο δε του οικου Θωγαρμα εμπορευοντο εν ταις αγοραις σου ιππους και ιππεας και ημιονους.

15 Οι ανδρες της Δαιδαν ησαν εμποροι σου· πολλων νησων το εμποριον ητο εν τη χειρι σου· εφερον εις σε οδοντας ελεφαντων και εβενον εις ανταλλαγην.

16 Η Συρια εμπορευετο μετα σου δια το πληθος των εργασιων σου· εδιδεν εις τας αγορας σου σμαραγδον, πορφυραν και κεντητα και βυσσον και κοραλλιον και αχατην.

17 Ο Ιουδας και η γη Ισραηλ ησαν εμποροι σου· εδιδον εις την αγοραν σου σιτον του Μιννιθ και στακτην και μελι και ελαιον και βαλσαμον.

18 Η Δαμασκος εμπορευετο μετα σου εις το πληθος των εργασιων σου, εις το πληθος παντος πλουτου· εις οινον της Χελβων και εις λευκα ορια.

19 Και Δαν και Ιαυαν και Μωσελ εδιδον εις τας αγορας σου σιδηρον ειργασμενον, κασιαν και καλαμον αρωματικον· ταυτα ησαν μεταξυ των πραγματειων σου.

20 Η Δαιδαν εμπορευετο μετα σου εις πολυτιμα υφασματα δια αμαξας.

21 Η Αραβια και παντες οι αρχοντες Κηδαρ ησαν εμποροι σου, εμπορευομενοι μετα σου εις αρνια και κριους και τραγους.

22 Οι εμποροι της Σαβα και Ρααμα ησαν εμποροι σου, διδοντες εις τας αγορας σου παν εξαιρετον αρωμα και παντα λιθον τιμιον και χρυσιον.

23 Χαρραν και Χαναα και Εδεν, οι εμποροι της Σαβα, ο Ασσουρ και ο Χιλμαδ, εμπορευοντο μετα σου.

24 Ουτοι ησαν εμποροι σου εις παν ειδος, εις κυανα ενδυματα και κεντητα και εις κιβωτια πλουσιων στολισματων, δεδεμενα με σχοινια και κατεσκευασμενα εκ κεδρου, μεταξυ των αλλων σου πραγματειων.

25 Τα πλοια της Θαρσεις υπερειχον εις το εμποριον σου, και ησο πληρης, και εσταθης ενδοξοτατη εν τη καρδια των θαλασσων.

26 Οι κωπηλαται σου σε εφερον εις υδατα πολλα· αλλ' ο ανεμος ο ανατολικος σε συνετριψεν εν τη καρδια των θαλασσων.

27 Τα πλουτη σου και αι αγοραι σου, το εμποριον σου, οι ναυται σου και οι κυβερνηται σου, οι επισκευασται των πλοιων σου και οι εμπορευομενοι το εμποριον σου, και παντες οι ανδρες σου οι πολεμισται οι εν σοι και παν το αθροισμα σου το εν μεσω σου, θελουσι πεσει εν τη καρδια των θαλασσων, την ημεραν της πτωσεως σου.

28 Τα προαστεια θελουσι σεισθη εις τον ηχον της κραυγης των κυβερνητων σου.

29 Και παντες οι κωπηλαται, οι ναυται, παντες οι κυβερνηται της θαλασσης, θελουσι καταβη εκ των πλοιων αυτων, θελουσι σταθη επι της γης,

30 και θελουσι κραυγασει με την φωνην αυτων επι σε, και θελουσι βοησει πικρα και ριψει χωμα επι τας κεφαλας αυτων και κατακυλισθη εν τη σποδω.

31 Και θελουσι φαλακρωθη ολοκληρως δια σε και περιζωσθη σακκον και κλαυσει δια σε με πικριαν ψυχης, οδυρομενοι πικρως.

32 Και εν τω οδυρμω αυτων θελουσιν αναλαβει θρηνον δια σε και θελουσι θρηνωδησει, λεγοντες περι σου, Τις ως η Τυρος, ως η καταστραφεισα εν μεσω της θαλασσης;

33 Οτε αι πραγματειαι σου εξηρχοντο εκ των θαλασσων, εχορταινες πολλους λαους· με το πληθος του πλουτου σου και του εμποριου σου επλουτιζες τους βασιλεις της γης.

34 Τωρα συνετριβης εν ταις θαλασσαις, εν τω βαθει των υδατων· το εμποριον σου και παν το αθροισμα σου επεσον εν μεσω σου.

35 Παντες οι κατοικοι των νησων θελουσιν εκπλαγη δια σε και οι βασιλεις αυτων θελουσι κατατρομαξει, θελουσιν ωχριασει τα προσωπα.

36 Οι εμποροι μεταξυ των εθνων θελουσι συριξει επι σε· φρικη θελεις εισθαι και δεν θελεις υπαρξει εως αιωνος.

426. As regards 'iron' meaning natural truth, this is clear from the places quoted already, and from the following as well: In Ezekiel in reference to Tyre,

Tarshish was your trader because of the vastness of all your wealth - in silver, iron, tin, and lead they provided Your wares. Dan and Javan, and Meusal, exchanged wrought iron in your tradings; cassia and calamus were in your market. Ezekiel 27:12, 19.

From these verses, and from those before and after them in the same chapter, it is quite clear that celestial and spiritual riches are meant. Each commodity, and also each name mentioned there, has some specific meaning, for the Word of the Lord is spiritual and not just verbal in content.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Can one smash iron, iron from the north, and bronze? Your resources and your treasures I will give as spoil, without price, even for all your sins. Jeremiah 15:12-13.

Here 'iron' and 'bronze' stand for natural truth and good. 'That which comes from the north' means that which is sensory and natural, for natural in comparison with spiritual and celestial is as thick darkness or the north to light or the south. The natural also resembles shade, which is also the meaning here of 'Zillah' who was the mother. It is also quite plain that 'resources and treasures' are celestial and spiritual riches.

[3] In Ezekiel,

Take an iron pan and place it as an iron wall between you and the city, and set your face 1 towards it, and let it be in a state of siege, and oppress it. Ezekiel 4:3.

Here too it is clear that 'iron' means truth. Great strength is attributed to truth because nothing is able to withstand it. This in addition is why iron, which means truth, that is, the truth of faith, is referred to as smashing and crushing to pieces, as in Daniel 2:33, 40. And in John,

He who overcomes, to him will I give power over the nations to rule 2 them with an iron rod as when earthen pots are broken in pieces. Revelation 2:26-27.

In the same author,

The woman gave birth to a male child, who was to rule 2 all nations with an iron rod. Revelation 12:5.

[4] The explanation appears in John that an 'iron rod' means truth which belongs to the Word of the Lord,

I saw heaven opened, when behold, a white horse! And He who sat upon it was called faithful and true, and in righteousness He judges and fights. He was clothed in a robe dipped in blood and His name is called the Word of God. From His mouth issues a sharp sword, and with it He will smite the nations, and will rule 2 them with an iron rod. Revelation 19, 11, 13, 15.

Revelation 11

Дослідження

   

1 A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise, and measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.

5 If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

6 These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

9 From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

10 Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

11 After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.

12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.

13 In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.

15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!"

16 The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God's throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,

17 saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.

18 The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

19 God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
