出埃及记第19章

学习

   

1 以色列人埃及以後,满了的那一天,就到西乃的旷野

2 他们离了利非订,到西乃的旷野,就在那里的下安营。

3 摩西那里,耶和华呼唤:你要这样告诉雅各家,晓谕以色列人

4 我向埃及人所行的事,你们都见了,且见我如将你们背在翅膀上,带来归我。

5 如今你们若实在从我的话,遵守我的约,就要在万民中作属我的子民,因为全都是我的。

6 你们要归我作祭司的国度,为圣洁的国民。这些你要告诉以色列人

7 摩西去召了民间的长老,将耶和华所吩咐他的都在他们面前陈明。

8 百姓都同声回答:凡耶和华的,我们都要遵行。摩西就将百姓的回覆耶和华

9 耶和华摩西:我要在密中临到你那里,叫百姓在我与你说话的时候可以见,也可以永远信你了。於是,摩西将百姓的奏告耶和华

10 耶和华又对摩西:你往百姓那里去,叫他们今天自洁,又叫他们洗衣服。

11 第三要预备好了,因为第三耶和华要在众百姓眼前降临在西乃上。

12 你要在的四围给百姓定界限,:你们当谨慎,不可上去,也不可摸的边界;凡摸这的,必要治他。

13 不可用摸他,必用石头打死,或用箭射透;无论是牲畜,都不得活。到角声拖长的时候,他们才可到根来。

14 摩西往百姓那里去,叫他们自洁,他们就洗衣服。

15 他对百姓:到第要预备好了。不可亲女人

16 到了第三早晨,在上有轰、闪电,和密,并且角声甚大,中的百姓尽都发颤。

17 摩西率领百姓出迎接,都站在下。

18 西乃全冒烟,因为耶和华中降於上。的烟气上腾,如烧窑一般,遍大大的震动。

19 角声渐渐的高而又高,摩西说话声音答应他。

20 耶和华降临在西乃顶上,耶和华摩西顶,摩西就上去。

21 耶和华摩西:你去嘱咐百姓,不可闯过来到我面前观,恐怕他们有多人死亡;

22 又叫亲我的祭司自洁,恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。

23 摩西耶和华:百姓不能上西乃,因为你已经嘱咐我们:要在的四围定界限,叫成圣

24 耶和华对他去罢,你要和亚伦一同上来;只是祭司和百姓不可闯过来上到我面前,恐怕我忽然出来击杀他们。

25 於是摩西到百姓那里告诉他们。

Apocalypse Revealed#663

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

663. Saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty!" This symbolically means that everything in the world, in heaven and in the church was created and formed by the Lord out of Divine love by means of Divine wisdom.

The Lord's works symbolize everything created and formed by Him, which in general is everything in the world, everything in heaven, and everything in the church, which could not possibly be enumerated in particular. These works are called great and marvelous because greatness is predicated of love, and marvelousness of wisdom, as in no. 656 above. Moreover, the Lord is also called the Lord in the Word because of the Divine goodness of His Divine love, and God because of the Divine truth of His Divine wisdom.

The Lord is called almighty because He is, lives, and can do all things of Himself, and also directs all things from Himself, as may be seen in no. 31 above.

So it is that, in a universal sense, "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty!" means symbolically that everything in the world, in heaven and in the church was created and formed by the Lord out of His Divine love by means of His Divine wisdom.

Revelation第15章

学习

   

1 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God's wrath is finished.

2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

3 They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

4 Who wouldn't fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed."

5 After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.

6 The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts.

7 One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.
