学习

   

1 Kaj vi, ho filo de homo, profetu pri Gog, kaj diru:Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Jen Mi iras kontraux vin, ho Gog, cxefa princo de Mesxehx kaj Tubal.

2 Kaj Mi vagigos vin, allogos vin, levos vin de la nordaj randoj, kaj venigos vin sur la montojn de Izrael.

3 Kaj Mi elbatos vian pafarkon el via maldekstra mano, kaj Mi elfaligos viajn sagojn el via dekstra mano.

4 Sur la montoj de Izrael vi falos, vi kaj cxiuj viaj tacxmentoj, kaj la popoloj, kiuj estos kun vi; al cxiaspecaj rabobirdoj kaj al la bestoj de la kampo Mi transdonos vin kiel mangxajxon.

5 Sur la kampo vi falos; cxar Mi tion decidis, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

6 Kaj Mi sendos fajron sur Magogon kaj sur la eksterdangxerajn logxantojn de la insuloj; kaj oni ekscios, ke Mi estas la Eternulo.

7 Kaj Mian sanktan nomon Mi konatigos meze de Mia popolo Izrael, kaj Mi ne plu permesos malhonori Mian sanktan nomon; kaj la popoloj ekscios, ke Mi estas la Eternulo, la Sanktulo en Izrael.

8 Jen tio venos kaj plenumigxos, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo; tio estos la tempo, pri kiu Mi parolis.

9 Kaj eliros la logxantoj de la urboj de Izrael, faros fajron, kaj bruligos la armilojn, la sxildojn kaj kirasojn, la pafarkojn kaj sagojn, la ponardojn kaj lancojn; kaj ili bruligados per tio fajron en la dauxro de sep jaroj.

10 Ili ne alportados lignon de la kampo, ne hakados el la arbaroj, sed per la armiloj ili farados fajron; ili prirabos siajn rabintojn, kaj prenos kaptajxon de tiuj, kiuj prenis kaptajxon de ili, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

11 En tiu tempo Mi donos al Gog tombolokon en Izrael, la valon, tra kiu oni iras orienten de la maro, kaj gxi fortimigos la pasantojn, kaj tie oni enterigos Gogon kaj lian tutan homomulton, kaj oni nomos gxin Valo de la Homomulto de Gog.

12 Kaj la domo de Izrael enterigos ilin, por purigi la landon, en la dauxro de sep monatoj.

13 Kaj la enterigadon faros la tuta popolo de la lando; kaj glora estos por ili tiu tempo, kiam Mi montros Mian majeston, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

14 Kaj ili destinos konstantajn homojn, kiuj irados tra la lando, kaj kune kun la trairantoj ili enterigados tiujn, kiuj restis sur la suprajxo de la tero, por purigi cxi tiun; post paso de sep monatoj ili komencos la sercxadon.

15 Kaj kiam iu el la trairantoj de la lando vidos oston de homo, li starigos cxe gxi signon, gxis la enterigantoj enterigos gxin en la Valo de la Homomulto de Gog.

16 Kaj ecx la nomo de la urbo estos Homomulto. Kaj oni purigos la landon.

17 Kaj vi, ho filo de homo, tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Diru al la cxiaspecaj birdoj kaj al cxiuj bestoj de la kampo:Kolektigxu kaj venu, kunvenu de cxirkauxe al la bucxado, kiun Mi faras por vi, al la granda bucxado sur la montoj de Izrael; kaj vi mangxos karnon kaj trinkos sangon.

18 Karnon de fortuloj vi mangxos, kaj sangon de princoj de la tero vi trinkos, kiel de virsxafoj, sxafidoj, kaproj, kaj bovoj, cxiuj bone grasigitaj.

19 Kaj vi mangxos grasajxon gxissate, kaj vi trinkos sangon gxisebrie de Mia bucxofero, kiun Mi bucxis por vi.

20 Kaj cxe Mia tablo vi satigxos de cxevaloj kaj rajdantoj, de fortuloj kaj cxiaspecaj militistoj, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

21 Kaj Mi montros Mian majeston inter la nacioj, kaj cxiuj nacioj vidos Mian jugxon, kiun Mi faris, kaj Mian manon, kiun Mi metis sur ilin.

22 Kaj la domo de Izrael ekscios, ke Mi estas la Eternulo, ilia Dio, de tiu tempo kaj plue.

23 Kaj la nacioj ekscios, ke la domo de Izrael estis forkondukita en kaptitecon pro siaj malbonagoj; pro tio, ke ili perfidis Min, Mi kasxis Mian vizagxon antaux ili kaj transdonis ilin en la manojn de iliaj malamikoj, kaj ili cxiuj falis de glavo.

24 Konforme al ilia malpureco kaj al iliaj krimoj Mi agis kun ili, kaj Mi kasxis antaux ili Mian vizagxon.

25 Tial tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Nun Mi revenigos la forkaptitojn de Jakob, Mi kompatos la tutan domon de Izrael, kaj Mi fervoros pri Mia sankta nomo.

26 Kaj ili konscios sian malhonoron, kaj cxiujn siajn perfidojn, kiujn ili faris kontraux Mi, kiam ili sidos sendangxere sur sia tero kaj neniu ilin timigos;

27 kiam Mi revenigos ilin el inter la popoloj kaj kolektos ilin el la landoj de iliaj malamikoj kaj montros sur ili Mian sanktecon antaux la okuloj de la multaj popoloj.

28 Kaj ili ekscios, ke Mi, la Eternulo, estas ilia Dio, kiam, dispelinte ilin inter la naciojn, Mi rekolektos ilin en ilian landon kaj neniun plu restigos tie.

29 Kaj Mi ne plu kasxos Mian vizagxon antaux ili, kiam Mi elversxos Mian spiriton sur la domon de Izrael, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

8875. 'A jealous God' means that as a result there is falsity and evil. This is clear from the consideration that in the genuine sense 'a jealous God' means the Divine Truth of Divine Good, since 'God' has reference to truth, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921 (end), 4287, 4402, 7010, 7268, 8301, and 'jealous' to good, as will be seen below. But so far as those who do not receive the Divine Truth of the Lord's Divine Good are concerned, 'a jealous God' is falsity and evil. For those who are opposed to Him perceive Divine Truth as falsity, and Divine Good as evil; for the way in which everyone sees that Truth and Good is determined by what he really is in himself. So it is that the Lord's zeal, 1 which in itself is love and compassion, is seen by them as anger; for when the Lord in love and mercy protects His own in heaven those ruled by evil are indignant and angry with the good. They plunge into the sphere where Divine Good and Divine Truth are, endeavouring to destroy those who are there. But then the Divine Truth of Divine Good acts on them and causes them to experience torments like those suffered in hell. As a consequence of this they attribute wrath and anger, and also all evil, to the Divine, when in fact there is no anger whatever in the Divine, nor any evil whatever, only pure forbearance and mercy.

[2] From all this it is evident why 'jealous' means falsity and evil, and why 'zeal' means anger. See what has been shown already about them, that is to say, in the following places,

Wrath and anger are attributed to the Lord, when in fact they exist with those who are ruled by evil or who are full of anger against the Divine, 5798, 6997, 8284, 8483.

Evil things, punishments, and times of vastation are in a similar way attributed to the Lord, when in fact nothing except love and mercy reside with the Lord, 2447, 6071, 6559, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7643, 7679, 7710, 7877, 7926, 8214, 8223, 8226-8228, 8282, 8632.

Through their endeavour to destroy goodness and truth the evil bring about their own devastation and cast themselves into damnation and hell, 7643, 7679, 7710, 7926, 7989.

The way in which everyone sees the Lord is determined by what he is within himself, 1861 (end), 6832, 8197.

[3] The places in the Word which are quoted below will show that 'the zeal of the Lord' is love and mercy, and that when the Lord protects the good against the evil it seems like hostility, and also like anger.

The zeal of the Lord is love and mercy.

In Isaiah,

Look out from heaven, and see from the dwelling-place of Your holiness and of Your glory. And where are Your zeal and Your might? The yearning of Your loins, 2 and Your compassion, 3 towards me have held themselves back. Isaiah 63:15.

'Zeal' here stands for mercy, which is 'a yearning of the loins' and has reference to good. For where it says 'Your zeal and Your might' the word 'zeal' has reference to good, and the word 'might' to truth; and 'the yearning of the loins' likewise has reference to good, and 'compassion' to truth. In a like manner 'the dwelling-place of holiness' stands for the heaven where members of the celestial kingdom live, and 'the dwelling-place of glory' for the heaven where members of the spiritual kingdom live. From this too it is evident that where good is referred to in the Word, truth is referred to as well, on account of the heavenly marriage, which is the marriage of good and truth, in every individual part of the Word. This is so in the case of the Lord's two names Jesus and Christ; they are a sign of the Divine marriage within the Lord. Regarding these matters, see 683, 793, 801, 2516, 4138 (end), 5138, 5502, 6343, 7945, 8339 (end).

[4] In the same prophet,

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder; and His name is called' 4 Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there will be no end. The zeal of Jehovah will do this. Isaiah 9:6-7.

This refers to the Lord and His Coming. 'The zeal of Jehovah will do this' stands for His acting from a love that burns to save the human race. In the same prophet,

Out of Jerusalem will go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah will do this. Isaiah 37:32.

'The zeal of Jehovah will do this' stands for His acting out of love and mercy.

[5] In Ezekiel,

Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name. 5 Ezekiel 39:25.

'Being jealous' stands for having mercy. In David, The zeal of Your house has devoured me. Psalms 69:9.

This refers to the Lord. 'The zeal of Jehovah's house' stands for love towards those who receive goodness and truth; for they are Jehovah's house.

[6] The Lord's zeal or mercy when He protects the good seems like hostility.

In Isaiah,

Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war He will arouse zeal; He will shout aloud and cry out, He will prevail over His enemies. Isaiah 42:13.

And in Joel,

Jehovah will be jealous for His land, and spare His people. Joel 2:18.

[7] The Lord's zeal is called anger and wrath because mercy is seen as such by the evil.

In Moses,

You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are round about you (for Jehovah your God in the midst of you is a jealous God), lest perhaps the anger of Jehovah your God flare up against you and destroy you from the face of the earth. Deuteronomy 6:14-15.

In the same author,

They provoked Him to jealousy through foreign [gods]; through abominations they made Him angry. They sacrifice to demons. They have moved Me to jealousy, 6 by what is not god, they have provoked Me to anger with their idols. 7 Deuteronomy 32:16-17, 21.

In Ezekiel,

When My anger is accomplished and I make My wrath rest on them, I will repent, so that they may know that I Jehovah have spoken in My zeal, when I have accomplished My wrath on them. Ezekiel 5:13.

In Zechariah,

The angel of Jehovah [speaking] in me said to me, Cry out, saying, Thus said Jehovah Zebaoth, I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal. For I have become extremely indignant against the nations that feel secure. Zechariah 1:14-15; 8:2.

In Zephaniah,

I will pour out onto them My indignation, all My fierce anger, 8 for in the fire of My zeal the whole earth will be devoured. Zephaniah 3:8.

In Moses,

Jehovah will not be pleased to pardon him; but then the anger of Jehovah, and His zeal, will smoke against that man, and every curse will rest on him Deuteronomy 29:20.

In David,

How long, O Jehovah; will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn line fire? Pour out Your anger on the nations that do not know You. Psalms 79:5-6.

Jehovah's zeal is in like manner referred to as 'anger' in Psalms 38:1; Ezekiel 16:42; 23:25; 38:19.

All this shows what is meant by 'Jehovah's zeal' or 'a jealous God' - in the genuine sense love and mercy, but in the non-genuine sense, such as that understood by those immersed in evils and falsities, anger and ruination.

[8] It should be recognized that Jehovah, that is, the Lord, is called 'jealous' or 'an avenger' especially when what ought to reign universally with a member of the Church - that is to say, what is Divine and must be either loved, held in mind, or feared above all things - is being corrupted. When it has been corrupted or destroyed complete and utter darkness ensues in place of heavenly light; for that light no longer flows in from the Divine because there is no acceptance of it. This is why the commandment says, 'I am Jehovah your God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth [generations] of those who hate Me', which He would do if they worshipped other gods or made either a graven image or likenesses for themselves. For these corrupt what is Divine and ought to reign universally.

[9] Therefore similar declarations occur elsewhere in Moses,

Take care, lest you make for yourselves a graven image of any figure; for Jehovah your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. Deuteronomy 4:23-24

And in the same author,

You shall not worship any other god; for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, He is a jealous [God]. Exodus 34:14.

The reason why the Israelite nation was forbidden so strictly to do these things was that any adoration of other gods, graven images, and other images destroyed everything representative of the Church among them. For in heaven Jehovah, that is, the Lord, reigns universally; His Divine [Life] fills all things there and composes the life of all. If anything else had been worshipped instead of the Divine, everything representative, and so contact with heaven, would have perished.
