Genesis第8章

学习

   

1 Siis Jumal mõtles Noale ja kõigile metsloomadele ja kõigile kariloomadele, kes temaga laevas olid; ja Jumal laskis tuult puhuda üle maa ja vesi alanes.

2 Ja sügavuse allikad ja taevaluugid suleti, ja sadu taevast keelati.

3 Ja vesi taganes maa pealt, taganes üha, ja saja viiekümne päeva pärast oli vesi vähenenud.

4 Ja seitsmenda kuu seitsmeteistkümnendal päeval peatus laev Ararati mägede kohal.

5 Ja vesi vähenes üha kümnenda kuuni; kümnenda kuu esimesel päeval paistsid mägede tipud.

6 Ja kui nelikümmend päeva oli möödunud, siis Noa avas laeva akna, mille ta oli teinud,

7 ja laskis välja ühe kaarna; see lendas sinna ja tänna, kuni vesi maa pealt oli kuivanud.

8 Siis ta laskis enese juurest välja ühe tuvi, et näha, kas vesi on maa pealt kahanenud.

9 Aga tuvi ei leidnud oma jalavarvastele puhkepaika ja tuli tagasi tema juurde laeva, sest vesi oli veel kogu maa peal; siis ta pistis oma käe välja ja võttis tema ning pani enese juurde laeva.

10 Ja ta ootas veel teist seitse päeva ning laskis taas ühe tuvi laevast välja.

11 Ja õhtul tuli tuvi tema juurde, ja vaata, tal oli nokas õlipuu haljas leht. Siis Noa mõistis, et vesi oli maa pealt kahanenud.

12 Ja ta ootas veel teist seitse päeva ning laskis ühe tuvi välja, aga see ei tulnud enam tagasi tema juurde.

13 Ja kuuesaja esimesel Noa eluaastal, esimese kuu esimesel päeval, oli vesi maa pealt kuivanud. Ja Noa võttis ära laeva katuse ja vaatas, ja ennäe, maapind oli tahenenud.

14 Ja teise kuu kahekümne seitsmendal päeval oli maa täiesti kuiv.

15 Ja Jumal kõneles Noaga ning ütles:

16 'Mine laevast välja, sina ja su naine ja su pojad ja su poegade naised koos sinuga!

17 Kõik loomad, kes su juures on, kõik liha, niihästi linnud kui loomad, ja kõik roomajad, kes maa peal roomavad, vii enesega koos välja, et nad sigineksid maa peal, oleksid viljakad ja et neid maa peale saaks palju!'

18 Ja Noa läks välja ja ta pojad ja ta naine ja ta poegade naised koos temaga.

19 Kõik loomad, kõik linnud ja kõik roomajad, kes liiguvad maa peal, läksid laevast välja sugukondade kaupa.

20 Ja Noa ehitas Issandale altari ja võttis kõigist puhtaist loomadest ja kõigist puhtaist lindudest ning ohverdas altaril põletusohvreid.

21 Ja Issand tundis meeldivat lõhna ja Issand mõtles oma südames: 'Ma ei nea enam maad inimese pärast, sest inimese südame mõtlemised on kurjad ta lapsepõlvest peale; ma ei hävita ka enam kõike, mis elab, nõnda nagu ma olen teinud.

22 Niikaua kui püsib maa, ei lõpe külv ega lõikus, külm ega kuum, suvi ega talv, päev ega öö.'

Apocalypse Revealed#598

598. 13:13 "It also performs great signs." This symbolizes certifications that their teachings are true, even though they are false.

Signs symbolize certifications that things are true, because signs once occurred to attest to a truth. But after signs and miracles ceased, their symbolism still remained, which is the certification of a truth. Here, however, signs symbolize certifications by the beast or false prophet that its falsities were true, because that is how falsities appear after they are defended.

That signs symbolize certifications that something is true can be seen from the following passages:

(At the end of the age) false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. (Matthew 24:24, Mark 13:22).

There will also be fearful... signs from heaven... There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars..., the sea and the waves roaring. (Luke 21:11, 25)

(Jehovah) frustrates the signs of liars, drives diviners mad, turning back wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish. (Isaiah 44:25)

Do not learn the way of the gentiles, and do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven. (Jeremiah 10:2)

...they are spirits of demons, performing signs..., to gather them to the battle of that great day... (Revelation 16:14)

Then the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who worked signs in its presence, (and) led astray... (Revelation 19:20)

[2] That signs were certifications that something was a truth is further apparent from the following:

(The disciples said to Jesus,) "What sign do You perform then, that we may... believe You? What work do You do?" (John 6:30-33)

The Jews, scribes and Pharisees sought a sign from the Lord, that they might know He was the Christ (Matthew 12:38-40; 16:1-4, Mark 8:11-12.

(The disciples said to Jesus,) "What will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?" (Matthew 24:3, cf. Mark 13:4)

...if they do not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, still they will believe the message of the latter sign. (Exodus 4:8-9)

The message of a sign is a certification.

They have set among them the messages of His signs... (Psalms 105:27)

(Jehovah said to Ahaz,) "Ask a sign for yourself from Jehovah...." (Isaiah 7:11, 14)

This is the sign to you from Jehovah...: "Behold, I will turn back the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz...." (Isaiah 38:7-8)

Hezekiah said, "What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?" (Isaiah 38:22)

This shall be a sign to you..., that I will visit you in this place, that you may know that My words will... stand... (Jeremiah 44:29-30)

Show me a sign (O Jehovah) for good, that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed. (Psalms 86:17)

They will... announce to us what will happen..., that we may set our heart... Show the sign that is to come..., that we may know that you are gods. (Isaiah 41:22-23)

Your enemies roar in the midst of your festival; they set up their banners as signs. (Psalms 74:3-4, 9)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 45:11; 55:13; Jeremiah 32:20-21; Ezekiel 4:3; Psalms 65:6-8; 78:42, 43; Exodus 7:3; Numbers 14:11, 22; Deuteronomy 4:34; 13:1-3; Judges 6:17, 21; 1 Samuel 2:34; 14:10; Mark 16:17, 18, 20; Luke 2:11, 12, 16).

Signs of the covenant have a similar symbolic meaning in Genesis 9:13; 17:11, Ezekiel 20:12, 20.

[3] It can be clearly seen from this that the great signs that this beast of the dragon performed do not mean signs, but certifications by the clergy that their teachings are true. For every heretic who confirms himself in falsities, afterward certifies that his falsities are true. Indeed, he does not see truths any longer, since the certification of a falsity is a denial of the truth, and truth denied loses its light. Moreover, in the measure that the light of their certification causes falsities to shine with an illusory light, in the same measure the light of truth becomes darkness (as may be seen in no. 566 above).
