2 Mose第23章

学习

   

1 Du sollst kein falsches Gerücht aufnehmen; (O. aussprechen, d. h. verbreiten) du sollst deine Hand nicht dem Gesetzlosen reichen, um ein ungerechter Zeuge zu sein.

2 Du sollst der Menge nicht folgen zum Übeltun; und du sollst bei einem echtsstreit nicht antworten, indem du dich der Menge nach neigest, das echt zu beugen.

3 Und den Armen sollst du in seinem echtsstreit nicht begünstigen. -

4 Wenn du den Ochsen deines Feindes oder seinen Esel umherirrend antriffst, sollst du ihn demselben jedenfalls zurückbringen.

5 Wenn du den Esel deines Hassers unter seiner Last liegen siehst, so hüte dich, ihn demselben zu überlassen; du sollst ihn jedenfalls mit ihm losmachen. -

6 Du sollst das echt deines Armen nicht beugen in seinem echtsstreit.

7 Von der Sache (O. dem Worte) der Lüge sollst du dich fernhalten; und den Unschuldigen und Gerechten sollst du nicht töten, denn ich werde den Gesetzlosen (O. Schuldigen) nicht rechtfertigen.

8 Und kein Geschenk sollst du nehmen; denn das Geschenk blendet die Sehenden und verkehrt die Worte der Gerechten.

9 Und den Fremdling sollst du nicht bedrücken; ihr selbst wisset ja, wie es dem Fremdling zu Mute ist, denn Fremdlinge seid ihr im Lande Ägypten gewesen. -

10 Und sechs Jahre sollst du dein Land besäen und seinen Ertrag einsammeln;

11 aber im siebten sollst du es ruhen und liegen lassen, daß die Armen deines Volkes davon essen; und was sie übriglassen, soll das Getier des Feldes fressen. Desgleichen sollst du mit deinem Weinberge tun und mit deinem Olivenbaum. -

12 Sechs Tage sollst du deine Arbeiten tun; aber am siebten Tage sollst du ruhen, damit dein Ochse und dein Esel raste und der Sohn deiner Magd und der Fremdling sich erhole.

13 Und auf alles, was ich euch gesagt habe, sollt ihr acht haben; und den Namen anderer Götter sollt ihr nicht erwähnen, er soll in deinem Munde nicht gehört werden.

14 Dreimal im Jahre sollst du mir ein Fest feiern.

15 Das Fest der ungesäuerten Brote sollst du beobachten: sieben Tage sollst du Ungesäuertes essen, so wie ich dir geboten habe, zur bestimmten Zeit im Monat Abib, denn in demselben bist du aus Ägypten gezogen; und man soll nicht leer vor meinem Angesicht erscheinen;

16 und das Fest der Ernte, der Erstlinge deiner Arbeit, dessen, was du auf dem Felde säen wirst; und das Fest der Einsammlung im Ausgang des Jahres, wenn du deine Arbeit vom Felde einsammelst.

17 Dreimal im Jahre sollen alle deine Männlichen vor dem Angesicht des Herrn Jehova erscheinen. -

18 Du sollst nicht das Blut meines Schlachtopfers zu Gesäuertem opfern; und nicht soll das Fett meines Festes über Nacht bleiben bis an den Morgen.

19 Das erste der Erstlinge deines Landes sollst du in das Haus Jehovas, deines Gottes, bringen. -Du sollst ein Böcklein nicht kochen in der Milch seiner Mutter.

20 Siehe, ich sende einen Engel vor dir her, um dich auf dem Wege zu bewahren und dich an den Ort zu bringen, den ich bereitet habe.

21 Hüte dich vor ihm und höre auf seine Stimme und reize ihn nicht; (O. sei nicht widerspenstig gegen ihn) denn er wird eure Übertretung nicht vergeben, denn mein Name ist in ihm.

22 Doch wenn du fleißig auf seine Stimme hörst und alles tust, was ich sagen werde, so werde ich deine Feinde befeinden und deine Dränger bedrängen.

23 Denn mein Engel wird vor dir hergehen und wird dich bringen zu den Amoritern und den Hethitern und den Perisitern und den Kanaanitern, den Hewitern und den Jebusitern; und ich werde sie vertilgen.

24 Du sollst dich vor ihren Göttern nicht niederbeugen und ihnen nicht dienen, und du sollst nicht tun nach ihren Taten; sondern du sollst sie ganz und gar niederreißen und ihre Bildsäulen gänzlich zerbrechen.

25 Und ihr sollt Jehova, eurem Gott, dienen: so wird er dein Brot und dein Wasser segnen, und ich werde Krankheit aus deiner Mitte entfernen.

26 Keine Fehlgebärende und Unfruchtbare wird in deinem Lande sein; die Zahl deiner Tage werde ich voll machen.

27 Meinen Schrecken werde ich vor dir hersenden und alle Völker verwirren, zu denen du kommst, und dir zukehren den ücken aller deiner Feinde.

28 Und ich werde die Hornisse vor dir hersenden, daß sie vor dir vertreibe die Hewiter, die Kanaaniter und die Hethiter.

29 Nicht in einem Jahre werde ich sie vor dir vertreiben, damit nicht das Land eine Wüste werde, und das Getier des Feldes sich wider dich mehre.

30 Nach und nach werde ich sie vor dir vertreiben, bis daß du fruchtbar bist und das Land besitzest.

31 Und ich werde deine Grenze setzen vom Schilfmeer bis an das Meer der Philister, und von der Wüste bis an den Strom; (der Euphrat; vergl. 1. Mose 15,18; 4. Mose 34,1-12) denn ich werde die Bewohner des Landes in deine Hand geben, daß du sie vor dir vertreibest.

32 Du sollst mit ihnen und mit ihren Göttern keinen Bund machen.

33 Sie sollen nicht in deinem Lande wohnen, damit sie dich nicht wider mich sündigen machen; denn du würdest ihren Göttern dienen, denn es würde dir zum Fallstrick sein.

Apocalypse Revealed#81

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

81. "'And have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary.'" This symbolizes their effort and work in acquiring for themselves and also teaching the constituents of religion and its accompanying doctrine.

The name of Jehovah or the Lord in the Word does not mean His name, but everything by which He is worshiped. And because He is worshiped in accordance with doctrine in the church, His name means everything pertaining to doctrine, and in the broadest sense, everything pertaining to religion.

These are the meanings of the name of Jehovah, and the reason is that in heaven the only names found are ones that reflect a person's character, and God's character includes everything by which He is worshiped.

One who is not aware of this symbolic meaning of a name in the Word can understand it only as a name; and in this alone there is nothing pertaining to worship and religion.

[2] Someone who keeps in mind, therefore, this symbolic meaning of "the name of Jehovah" when it is mentioned in the Word, will of himself understand its symbolic meaning in the following passages:

In that day you will say: "Confess to Jehovah, call upon His name." (Isaiah 12:4)

...O Jehovah, we have waited for You; the desire of our soul is for Your name... ...by You we make mention of Your name. (Isaiah 26:8, 13)

From the rising of the sun My name shall be called on. (Isaiah 41:25)

...from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to My name...; for My name shall be great among the nations... ...you profane (My name) when you say, "The table of Jehovah is defiled...." But you sneer at (My name)..., when you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick. (Malachi 1:11-13)

...all peoples walk in the name of their god, but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God... (Micah 4:5)

Everyone who is called by My name, for My glory I have created him, I have formed him... (Isaiah 43:7)

You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; ...Jehovah will not hold him innocent who takes His name in vain. (Deuteronomy 5:11)

They were to worship Jehovah in one place, where He should put His name (Deuteronomy 12:5, 11, 13-14, 18; 16:2, 6, 11, 15-16). And so on in many other places. Who does not see that the name in them does not mean simply a name?

[3] It is the same with the name of the Lord in the New Testament, as in the following places:

(Jesus said,) "You will be hated by all because of My name. (Matthew 10:22; cf. 24:9-10)

...where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)

Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters... for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and... eternal life. (Matthew 19:29)

As many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. (John 1:12)

...many believed in His name... (John 2:23)

He who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:17-18)

...believing (they will) have life in His name. (John 20:31)

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! (Matthew 21:9; 23:39; Luke 13:35, cf. 19:38)

[4] In respect to His humanity the Lord is the name of the Father, as witness the following:

Father, glorify Your name. (John 12:28)

Hallowed be Your name (and) Your kingdom come. (Matthew 6:9-10)

See also Exodus 23:20-21. 3

"Name" in the case of other people refers to a quality of worship, as in the following:

(A shepherd) calls his own sheep by (their) name... (John 10:3)

You have a few names in Sardis... (Revelation 3:4)

I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem..., and My new name. (Revelation 3:12)

And the like elsewhere.

It can be seen from this now that the statement, "You have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary," symbolizes their effort and work in acquiring for themselves and also teaching the constituents of religion and its accompanying doctrine.

Revelation第2章

学习

   

1 "To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:

2 "I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can't tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.

4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.

6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

8 "To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

9 "I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

10 Don't be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.

12 "To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:

13 "I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn't deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.

16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

18 "To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

19 "I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

22 Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.

23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don't have this teaching, who don't know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.

25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.

26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

28 and I will give him the morning star.

29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
