1 Διοτι, ιδου, εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω, οταν επιστρεψω τους αιχμαλωτους του Ιουδα και της Ιερουσαλημ,

2 θελω συναξει ετι παντα τα εθνη και θελω καταβιβασει αυτα εις την κοιλαδα του Ιωσαφατ, και θελω κριθη μετ' αυτων εκει υπερ του λαου μου και της κληρονομιας μου Ισραηλ, τον οποιον διεσπειραν μεταξυ των εθνων και διεμοιρασθησαν την γην μου·

3 και ερριψαν κληρους δια τον λαον μου· και εδωκαν παιδιον δια πορνην και επωλουν κορασιον δια οινον και επινον.

4 Και ετι τι εχετε σεις να καμητε μετ' εμου, Τυρε και Σιδων και παντα τα ορια της Παλαιστινης; θελετε μοι ανταποδωσει ανταποδομα; εαν σεις ανταποδωσητε εις εμε, χωρις αργοποριας ταχεως θελω επιστρεψει το ανταποδομα σας επι την κεφαλην σας.

5 Διοτι ελαβετε το αργυριον μου και το χρυσιον μου, και τα εκλεκτα μου αγαθα εφερετε εις τους ναους σας.

6 Τους δε υιους Ιουδα και τους υιους Ιερουσαλημ επωλησατε εις τους υιους των Ελληνων, δια να απομακρυνητε αυτους απο των οριων αυτων.

7 Ιδου, εγω θελω εγειρει αυτους απο του τοπου οπου επωλησατε αυτους, και θελω επιστρεψει το ανταποδομα σας επι την κεφαλην σας.

8 Και θελω πωλησει τους υιους σας και τας θυγατερας σας εις την χειρα των υιων Ιουδα, και θελουσι πωλησει αυτους εις τους Σαβαιους, εις εθνος μακραν απεχον· διοτι ο Κυριος ελαλησε.

9 Κηρυξατε τουτο εν τοις εθνεσιν, αγιασατε πολεμον, διεγειρατε τους μαχητας, ας πλησιασωσιν, ας αναβαινωσι παντες οι ανδρες του πολεμου·

10 σφυρηλατησατε τα υνια σας εις ρομφαιας και τα δρεπανα σας εις λογχας· ο αδυνατος ας λεγη, Εγω ειμαι δυνατος·

11 Συναθροισθητε και ελθετε κυκλοθεν, παντα τα εθνη, και συναχθητε ομου· εκει θελει καταστρεψει ο Κυριος τους ισχυρους σου.

12 Ας εγερθωσι και ας αναβωσι τα εθνη εις την κοιλαδα του Ιωσαφατ· διοτι εκει θελω καθησει δια να κρινω παντα τα εθνη τα κυκλοθεν.

13 Βαλετε δρεπανον, διοτι ο θερισμος ειναι ωριμος· ελθετε, καταβητε· διοτι ο ληνος ειναι πληρης, τα υποληνια υπερεκχειλιζουσιν· επειδη η κακια αυτων ειναι μεγαλη.

14 Πληθη, πληθη εις την κοιλαδα της δικης· διοτι εγγυς ειναι η ημερα του Κυριου εις την κοιλαδα της δικης.

15 Ο ηλιος και σεληνη θελουσι συσκοτασει και οι αστερες θελουσι συρει οπισω το φεγγος αυτων.

16 Ο δε Κυριος θελει βρυχησει εκ Σιων και εκπεμψει την φωνην αυτου εξ Ιερουσαλημ· και οι ουρανοι και η γη θελουσι σεισθη· αλλ' ο Κυριος θελει εισθαι το καταφυγιον του λαου αυτου και η ισχυς των υιων Ισραηλ.

17 Ουτω θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας, ο κατοικων εν Σιων, τω ορει τω αγιω μου· τοτε η Ιερουσαλημ θελει εισθαι αγια και αλλογενεις δεν θελουσι διελθει δι' αυτης πλεον.

18 Και εν τη ημερα εκεινη τα ορη θελουσι σταλαξει γλευκος και οι λοφοι θελουσι ρεει γαλα και παντες οι ρυακες του Ιουδα θελουσι ρεει υδατα και πηγη θελει εξελθει εκ του οικου του Κυριου και θελει ποτιζει την φαραγγα του Σιττειμ.

19 Η Αιγυπτος θελει εισθαι ηρημωμενη και ο Εδωμ θελει εισθαι ερημος αβατος δια τας εις τους υιους Ιουδα αδικιας, διοτι εχυσαν αιμα αθωον εν τη γη αυτων.

20 Η δε Ιουδαια θελει κατοικεισθαι εις τον αιωνα και η Ιερουσαλημ εις γενεας γενεων.

21 Και θελω καθαρισει το αιμα αυτων, το οποιον δεν εκαθαρισα· διοτι ο Κυριος κατοικει εν Σιων.

5236. 'And a Hebrew boy was there with us' means that owing to temptation the guiltlessness of the Church had been cast away there. This is clear from the meaning of 'a boy' as guiltlessness, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'Hebrew' as a person belonging to the Church, dealt with in 5136, thus some attribute of the Church. His having been cast away there owing to temptation is meant by the words 'was there', that is to say, in custody; for 'custody', in which Joseph had been placed, means a state of temptation, 5036, 5037, 5039, 5044, 5045, that state being the subject in Chapters 39, 40.

[2] The reason 'a boy' [or older 'child'] 1 means guiltlessness is that in the internal sense a young child means innocence. References are made in the Word to suckling, young child, and older child, by whom three degrees of innocence are meant, the first degree being meant by 'suckling', the second degree by 'young child', and the third by 'older child'. But because an older child is one who is beginning to lose his innocence, he therefore means the kind of innocence that is called guiltlessness. Because three degrees of innocence are meant by 'suckling', 'young child', and 'child', three degrees of love and charity are also meant by them, for the reason that celestial and spiritual love, which is love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, can have no existence except within innocence. It should be recognized however that the innocence of sucklings, young children, and older ones is purely external and that no internal innocence exists with anyone until he has been born anew, that is, has so to speak become a suckling, young child, and older child once again. These are the states meant in the Word by these three, for the internal sense of the Word has only that which is spiritual as its meaning, and therefore has purely spiritual birth - called rebirth and also regeneration - as its meaning.

[3] The fact that the innocence called guiltlessness is meant by 'a child' is clear in Luke,

Jesus said, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. Luke 18:17.

'Receiving the kingdom of God like a child' means receiving charity and faith because of one's innocence In Mark,

Jesus took a child, set him in the midst of them and took him up in His arms. He said to them, Whoever takes up one of such children in My name is taking up Me. Mark 9:36-37; Luke 9:47-48.

'A child' here is a representation of innocence; anyone who takes this up is taking up the Lord because He is the Source from which every trace of innocence is derived. Anyone may see that 'taking up a child in the Lord's name' does not mean taking up a child, so that something heavenly is represented by such an action.

[4] In Matthew,

When the children in the temple cried out, Hosanna to the son of David, [the chief priests and scribes] were indignant. Therefore Jesus said to them, Have you not read that out of the mouth of young children and sucklings You have perfected praise? Matthew 21:15-16; Psalms 8:2.

The children's cry 'Hosanna to the son of David' was voiced so as to represent the truth that innocence alone acknowledges and accepts the Lord, that is, that those who have innocence within them do so. The words 'out of the mouth of young children and sucklings You have perfected praise' mean that there is no other path than innocence along which praise can go to the Lord. Along this path alone can any communication be established, any influx take place, or consequently any approach be made. This is why the Lord says, in the same gospel,

Unless you are converted and become as children you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3.

[5] In the following places too 'a boy' [or 'a child'] means innocence: In Zechariah,

The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. Zechariah 8:5.

This refers to a new Jerusalem, or the Lord's kingdom. In David.

Praise Jehovah, Young men and also virgins, old men and children. Psalms 148:12

In the same author,

Jehovah redeems 2 Your life from the pit. He satisfies your mouth with what is good, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 3 Psalms 103:4-5.

In Joel,

Over My people they have cast lots, for they have given a boy for a harlot and have sold a girl for wine which they have drunk. Joel 3:3.

In Jeremiah,

I will scatter throughout you man and woman, and I will scatter throughout you old man and boy, and I will scatter throughout you young man and virgin. Jeremiah 51:12.

In Isaiah,

To us a boy is born, to us a son is given, upon whose shoulder is the government; and He will call His name, Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6.

Примітки:

1. The Latin word puer used for a boy may also be used to mean simply a child, male or female, as in several places in the remainder of this paragraph.

2. The Latin means renews, but the Hebrew means redeems, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.

3. literally, so that you are renewed like the eagle with your childhood

Luke 10

Дослідження

   

1 Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.

2 Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.

3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don't go from house to house.

8 Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

9 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'

10 But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into its streets and say,

11 'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.'

12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

15 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.

16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."

17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"

18 He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.

20 Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

21 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."

22 Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."

23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn't see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn't hear them."

25 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26 He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

27 He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

28 He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

30 Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'

36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

37 He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

38 It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."

41 Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
