1 La parole de l'Eternel me fut encore [adressée], en disant :

2 Fils d'homme : tu demeures au milieu d'une maison rebelle, [au milieu de gens] qui ont des yeux pour voir, et ne voient point; et qui ont des oreilles pour ouïr, et n'entendent point; parce qu'ils [sont] une maison rebelle.

3 Toi donc, fils d'homme, fais-toi l'équipage d'un homme qui déloge, et déloge de jour, eux le voyant; déloge, dis-je, de ton lieu pour aller en un autre, eux le voyant; peut-être qu'ils y prendront garde; quoiqu'ils soient une maison rebelle.

4 Tu mettras donc dehors pendant le jour ton équipage, tel qu'est l'équipage d'un homme qui déloge, eux le voyant; et sur le soir tu sortiras, eux le voyant, comme quand on sort pour déloger.

5 Perce-toi la paroi, eux le voyant, et tire par-là dehors [ton équipage].

6 Tu [le] porteras sur l'épaule, eux le voyant, et tu [le] tireras dehors sur la brune; tu couvriras aussi ton visage, afin que tu ne voies point la terre; car je t'ai mis pour être un signe à la maison d'Israël.

7 Je fis donc comme il m'avait été commandé : je portai dehors durant le jour mon équipage tel qu'est l'équipage d'un homme qui déloge, et sur le soir je me perçai la paroi avec la main, je le tirai dehors sur la brune, [et] le portai sur l'épaule, eux le voyant.

8 Et au matin la parole de l'Eternel me fut [adressée], en disant :

9 Fils d'homme, la maison d'Israël, maison rebelle, ne t'a-t-elle pas dit : qu'est-ce que tu fais?

10 Dis-leur : ainsi a dit le Seigneur l'Eternel : Cet ordre dont je suis chargé s'adresse au Prince qui est dans Jérusalem, et à toute la maison d'Israël qui est parmi eux.

11 Dis : Je vous suis pour un signe; comme j'ai fait, ainsi il leur sera fait; ils délogeront pour s'en aller en captivité.

12 Et le Prince qui est parmi eux, portera sur la brune [son équipage] sur l'épaule, et sortira; on lui percera la paroi pour le tirer par-là dehors; il couvrira son visage, afin qu'il ne voie point de ses yeux la terre.

13 J'étendrai mon rets sur lui, et il sera pris dans mes filets; et je le ferai entrer dans Babylone au pays des Caldéens, mais il ne la verra point, et il y mourra.

14 Et je disperserai à tout vent tout ce qui est autour de lui, son secours, et toutes ses troupes; et je tirerai l'épée après eux.

15 Et ils sauront que je suis l'Eternel, quand je les aurai répandus parmi les nations, et que je les aurai dispersés par les pays.

16 Et je laisserai de reste d'entre eux quelque peu de gens, [préservés] de l'épée, de la famine, et de la mortalité, afin qu'ils racontent toutes leurs abominations, parmi les nations vers lesquelles ils seront parvenus; et ils sauront que je suis l'Eternel.

17 Puis la parole de l'Eternel me fut [adressée], en disant :

18 Fils d'homme, mange ton pain dans l'agitation, et bois ton eau en tremblant et avec inquiétude.

19 Puis tu diras au peuple du pays : ainsi a dit le Seigneur l'Eternel touchant les habitants de Jérusalem, à la terre d'Israël : ils mangeront leur pain avec chagrin, et ils boiront leur eau avec frayeur, parce que son pays sera désolé, étant privé de son abondance, à cause de la violence de tous ceux qui y habitent.

20 Et les villes peuplées seront désertes, et le pays ne sera que désolation; et vous saurez que je suis l'Eternel.

21 La parole de l'Eternel me fut encore [adressée], en disant :

22 Fils d'homme, quel est ce proverbe dont vous usez touchant la terre d'Israël, en disant : les jours seront prolongés, et toute vision périra?

23 C'est pourquoi dis-leur : ainsi a dit le Seigneur l'Eternel, je ferai cesser ce proverbe, et on ne s'en servira plus pour proverbe en Israël; et dis-leur : les jours, et la parole de toute vision sont proches.

24 Car il n'y aura plus désormais aucune vision de vanité, ni aucune divination de flatteur, au milieu de la maison d'Israël.

25 Car moi l'Eternel, je parlerai, et la parole que j'aurai prononcée sera mise en exécution, elle ne sera plus différée; mais, ô maison rebelle! je prononcerai en vos jours la parole, et je l'exécuterai, dit le Seigneur l'Eternel.

26 La parole de l'Eternel me fut encore [adressée], en disant :

27 Fils d'homme, voici, ceux de la maison d'Israël disent : la vision que celui-ci voit n'arrivera pas de longtemps, et il prophétise pour des temps qui sont encore éloignés.

28 C'est pourquoi dis-leur : ainsi a dit le Seigneur l'Eternel : aucune de mes paroles ne sera plus différée, mais la parole que j'aurai prononcée sera exécutée [incessamment], dit le Seigneur l'Eternel.

Apocalypse Revealed#880

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

880. Jerusalem in the Word means the church because the Temple and altar were there in the land of Canaan and nowhere else, and sacrifices were made there. Thus it was the focus of Divine worship. The three annual feasts were accordingly also celebrated there, and every male throughout the land was commanded to attend them. For that reason Jerusalem symbolizes the church with respect to worship, and so also the church with respect to doctrine, inasmuch as worship is prescribed by doctrine and is conducted in accordance with it.

Jerusalem means the church, too, because the Lord was there and taught in its temple, and later glorified His humanity there.

That Jerusalem means the church with respect to its doctrine and consequent worship is apparent from many passages in the Word. As for example, from these verses in Isaiah:

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as a radiance, and her salvation as a burning lamp. Then gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall also be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will proclaim. And you shall be a crown of glory in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal jewel 1 in the hand of your God... ...Jehovah will delight in you, and your land shall be married.

Behold, your salvation is coming; behold, His reward is with Him... And they shall call them a holy people, the redeemed of Jehovah; and you shall be called a city sought out, not forsaken. (Isaiah 62:1-4, 11-12)

[2] The subject in that chapter is the Lord's advent and a new church to be established by Him. This new church is the church meant by Jerusalem, which shall be called by a new name that the mouth of Jehovah will proclaim; which will be a crown of glory in the hand of Jehovah and a royal jewel 1 in the hand of God; in which Jehovah will delight; and which shall be called a city sought out and not forsaken. This does not mean the Jerusalem inhabited by Jews when the Lord came into the world, for that Jerusalem was of a totally opposite character. It was rather to be called Sodom, as it also is called in Revelation 11:8, Isaiah 3:9, Jeremiah 23:14, and Ezekiel 16:46, 48.

[3] Elsewhere in Isaiah:

...behold, I am creating a new heaven and a new earth; the former shall not be remembered... Be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating. ...behold, I am creating Jerusalem to be an exultation, and her people a joy, that I may exult over Jerusalem and rejoice over My people... Then the wolf and the lamb shall feed together... They shall not do evil... in all My holy mountain... (Isaiah 65:17-19, 25)

In this chapter, too, the subject is the Lord's advent and a church to be established by Him, one that was not established among the people in Jerusalem but among people elsewhere. Consequently that church is the one meant here by Jerusalem, which will be an exultation to the Lord and whose people will be a joy to Him, where the wolf and lamb will feed together, and the people will not do evil.

As in the book of Revelation, we are told here also that the Lord will create a new heaven and a new earth, and that He will create Jerusalem, which have similar symbolic meanings.

[4] Elsewhere in Isaiah:

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you. Shake yourself from the dust, arise; sit down, O Jerusalem! ...Therefore My people shall know My name... in that day; for it is I who speaks: behold, it is I. ...Jehovah has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. (Isaiah 52:1-2, 6, 9)

The subject in this chapter is also the Lord's advent and the church to be established by Him. Therefore the Jerusalem into which the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come, and which the Lord will redeem, means the church, and Jerusalem, the holy city, means the church with respect to doctrine from the Lord and concerning the Lord.

[5] In Zephaniah:

Shout, O daughter of Zion! Be glad... with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! ...The King of Israel... is in your midst; fear evil no longer! ...He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will rest in your love, He will exult over you with exultation... ...I will give you a name and praise among all the peoples of the earth... (Zephaniah 3:14-17, 20)

Here likewise the subject is the Lord and a church established by Him, over which the King of Israel, namely the Lord, will rejoice with gladness and exult with exultation, and in whose love He will rest, who will give them a name and praise among all the peoples of the earth.

[6] In Isaiah:

Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer and your Former..., who says to Jerusalem, "You shall be inhabited," and to the cities of Judah, "You shall be rebuilt."... (Isaiah 44:24, 26)

And in Daniel:

Know and perceive: from the going forth of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks... (Daniel 9:25)

It is apparent that Jerusalem here also means the church, since it was the church that the Lord restored and rebuilt, and not Jerusalem, the Jewish capital.

[7] Jerusalem means a church established by the Lord also in the following passages. In Zechariah:

Thus said Jehovah, "I will return to Zion and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth, and the mountain of Jehovah Zebaoth a holy mountain." (Zechariah 8:3, cf. 8:20-23)

In Joel:

Then you shall know that I am Jehovah your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy... And it will come to pass in that day that the mountains shall drip with new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk..., and Jerusalem (shall abide) from generation to generation. (Joel 3:17-21)

In Isaiah:

In that day the offshoot of Jehovah shall be beautiful and glorious... And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy - everyone recorded among the living in Jerusalem. (Isaiah 4:2-3)

In Micah:

...in the latter days the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on top of the mountains... For out of Zion doctrine shall go forth, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem... ...to you... the former kingdom shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. (Micah 4:1-2, 8)

In Jeremiah:

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah, and all the nations shall be gathered..., because of the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem. No more shall they go after the justification of their evil hearts. (Jeremiah 3:17)

In Isaiah:

Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; let your eyes see Jerusalem, a tranquil habitation, a tabernacle that will not vanish; its stakes will never be removed, nor any of its cords be broken. (Isaiah 33:20)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 24:23; 37:32; 66:10-14; Zechariah 12:3, 6, 8-10; 14:8, 11-12, 21; Malachi 3:2, 4; Psalms 122:1-7; 137:4-6.

[8] Jerusalem in these places means a church which the Lord would establish, and not Jerusalem in the land of Canaan inhabited by Jews. This can be seen from passages in the Word which say that Jerusalem was completely ruined and would be destroyed, as in Jeremiah 5:1; 6:6-7; 7:17-18; Luke 19:41-44; 21:20-22; 23:28-30; and in many other places.

脚注:

1. The word translated as "jewel" here means a diadem or crown in the original Greek and Latin, but the writer's definitions of the term elsewhere make plain that he regularly and consistently interpreted it to mean a jewel or gem.
