学习

   

1 Jen estas la vorto de la Eternulo, kiu aperis al la profeto Jeremia pri la Filisxtoj, antaux ol Faraono venkobatis Gazan:

2 Tiele diras la Eternulo:Jen venos akvo de norde, kaj gxi farigxos inundanta torento, kaj gxi inundos la landon, kaj cxion, kio estas en gxi, la urbon kaj gxiajn logxantojn; ekkrios la homoj, kaj ekploregos cxiuj logxantoj de la lando.

3 Pro la sonado de la hufoj de la fortaj cxevaloj, pro la bruo de la cxaroj, pro la bruego de la radoj la patroj ne atentos siajn infanojn, senforte mallevigxos iliaj manoj;

4 pro la tago, kiu venos, kiam oni prirabos cxiujn Filisxtojn, ekstermos cxe Tiro kaj Cidon cxiujn restintajn helpantojn; cxar la Eternulo ruinigos la Filisxtojn, la restajxon de la insulo Kaftor.

5 Kalveco trafos Gazan, pereos Asxkelon kaj la restajxo de ilia valo. Kiel longe ankoraux vi faros al vi trancxojn?

6 Ho glavo de la Eternulo, kiel longe vi ne kvietigxos? eniru en vian ingon, haltu kaj silentu.

7 Sed kiel vi povas kvietigxi? la Eternulo donis al gxi ordonon kontraux Asxkelon kaj kontraux la bordo de la maro; tien Li destinis gxin.

Country

  
This World War I poster shows the nations allied against the Axis countries.

Generally in the Bible a "country" means a political subdivision ruled by a king, or sometimes a tribe with a territory ruled by a king or chieftain. Others are what we now call city-states, with surrounding farm areas. In almost all cases these countries were far smaller than our modern idea of countries, though Egypt and Assyria would be exceptions. Sometimes the word is used to refer to countryside, a wide area with no consideration of boundaries as when the twelve Israelites were sent to spy out the country.

6821. One's country is the neighbour over the community because it is like a parent, for being the place where the person is born, it nurtures him and protects him from all harm. One ought out of love for one's country to do good to it according to its needs, which have regard primarily to its sustenance, its public life, and its spiritual life. Anyone who loves his country and out of goodwill does good to it will in the next life love the Lord's kingdom, for there the Lord's kingdom becomes his country. And anyone who loves the Lord's kingdom loves the Lord since the Lord is the All in all of His kingdom, for strictly speaking the Lord's kingdom is the goodness and truth which reside with the inhabitants of that kingdom, and which they receive from the Lord.
