学习

   

1 耶和华的又临到我说:

2 人子啊,你对推罗君王耶和华如此:因你傲,:我是;我在之位。你虽然居自比,也不过是人,并不是

3 看哪,你比但以理更有智慧,甚麽秘事都不能向你隐藏。

4 你靠自己的智慧聪明得了财宝,收入中。

5 你靠自己的大智慧和贸易增添资财,又因资财心里傲。

6 所以耶和华如此:因你居自比

7 我必使外邦人,就是列国中的强暴人临到你这里;他们必拔刀砍坏你用智慧得来的美物,亵渎你的荣光。

8 他们必使你坑;你必中,与被杀的人一样。

9 在杀你的人面前你还能我是麽?其实你在杀害你的人中,不过是人,并不是

10 你必在外邦人中,与未受割礼(或译:不洁;下同)的人一样,因为这是耶和华的。

11 耶和华的临到我说:

12 人子啊,你为推罗王作起哀歌耶和华如此:你无所不备,智慧充足,全然美丽

13 你曾在伊甸的园中,佩戴各样宝,就是红宝、红璧玺、、水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉蓝宝石、绿宝、红玉,和黄;又有精美的笛在你那里,都是在你受造之日预备齐全的。

14 你是那受膏遮掩约柜的基路伯;我将你安置在上;你在发光如的宝中间往来。

15 你从受造之日所行的都完全,後来在你中间又察出不义。

16 因你贸易很多,就被强暴的事充满,以致犯罪,所以我因你亵渎圣地,就从驱逐你。遮掩约柜的基路伯啊,我已将你从发光如的宝中除灭。

17 你因美丽傲,又因荣光败坏智慧,我已将你摔倒在,使你倒在君面前,好叫他们目睹眼见。

18 你因罪孽众多,贸易不公,就亵渎你那里的圣所。故此,我使从你中间发出,烧灭你,使你在所有观的人眼前变为上的炉灰。

19 各国民中,凡认识你的,都必为你惊奇。你令人惊恐,不再存留於世,直到永远

20 耶和华的临到我说:

21 人子啊,你要向西顿预言攻击他,

22 耶和华如此:西顿哪,我与你为敌,我必在你中间得荣耀。我在你中间施行审判、显为的时候,人就知道我是耶和华

23 我必使瘟疫进入西顿,使血流在他街上。被杀的必在其中仆倒,四围有刀临到他,人就知道我是耶和华

24 四围恨恶以色列家的人,必不再向他们作刺人的荆棘,伤人的蒺藜,人就知道我是耶和华

25 耶和华如此:我将分散在万民中的以色列招聚回来,向他们在列邦人眼前显为的时候,他们就在我赐仆人雅各之地,仍然居住

26 他们要在这地上安然居住。我向四围恨恶他们的众人施行审判以後,他们要盖造房屋,栽种葡萄园,安然居住,就知道我是耶和华─他们的

Apocalypse Explained#268

学习本章节

  
/1232  
  

268. (Verse 3) And he that sat was in aspect like a jasper and a sardius. That this signifies the appearance of the Lord as to Divine truth translucent from the Divine good of the Divine love is evident from the signification of one sitting upon the throne, as being the Lord as to the Last Judgment, which was treated of just above (n. 267); and from the signification of in aspect like, as being appearance; also from the signification of a jasper stone, as being the spiritual love of truth, of which we shall treat in what follows; and from the signification of a sardine stone, as being the celestial love of good, thus by a jasper and a sardius, to which the Lord appeared like, is signified Divine truth translucent from the Divine good of the Divine love.

[2] That a jasper signifies the Divine love of truth, or Divine truth proceeding is evident from those passages in the Word where it is mentioned, as in Exodus 28:20, and in Ezekiel 28:13; also in the Apocalypse:

"The light" of the holy Jerusalem "was like unto a stone most precious, like to a jasper stone, clear as crystal" (21:11.).

By the light of the holy Jerusalem is signified the Divine truth of the church shining, and by the light truth itself shining, by Jerusalem the church as to doctrine; this is likened to a jasper stone, because jasper has a similar signification. And in another place:

"The building of the wall" of the holy Jerusalem "was of jasper, and the city was pure gold like unto pure glass" (21:18).

The wall of the holy Jerusalem is said to be of jasper, because by wall is signified Divine truth defending; and on account of this signification of wall, the first stone of its foundation is said to be jasper (verse 19), foundation signifying the truth upon which the church is founded.

[3] The sardius is also mentioned, because by that stone is signified good, here Divine good, because it is said of the Lord. It is this stone which is called pyropus; and since it shines as it were from fire, by both is signified the translucence of truth from good. (That all precious stones signify the truths of heaven and of the church derived from good, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 114, 9863, 9865, 9868, 9873. This is why in the breast-plate of Aaron, which is called the Urim and Thummim, were set twelve precious stones, and by them responses were given, and this by their shining forth, and at the same time by perception of the thing inquired about, or by a living voice.)
