1 Mose第6章

学习

   

1 Da sich aber die Menschen begannen zu mehren auf Erden und ihnen Töchter geboren wurden,

2 da sahen die Kinder Gottes nach den Töchtern der Menschen, wie sie schön waren, und nahmen zu Weibern, welche sie wollten.

3 Da sprach der HERR: Die Menschen wollen sich von meinem Geist nicht mehr strafen lassen; denn sie sind Fleisch. Ich will ihnen noch Frist geben hundertundzwanzig Jahre.

4 Es waren auch zu den Zeiten Tyrannen auf Erden; denn da die Kinder Gottes zu den Töchtern der Menschen eingingen und sie ihnen Kinder gebaren, wurden daraus Gewaltige in der Welt und berühmte Männer.

5 Da aber der HERR sah, daß der Menschen Bosheit groß war auf Erden und alles Dichten und Trachten ihres Herzens nur böse war immerdar,

6 da reute es ihn, daß er die Menschen gemacht hatte auf Erden, und es bekümmerte ihn in seinem Herzen,

7 und er sprach: Ich will die Menschen, die ich gemacht habe, vertilgen von der Erde, vom Menschen an bis auf das Vieh und bis auf das Gewürm und bis auf die Vögel unter dem Himmel; denn es reut mich, daß ich sie gemacht habe.

8 Aber Noah fand Gnade vor dem HERRN.

9 Dies ist das Geschlecht Noahs. Noah war ein frommer Mann und ohne Tadel und führte ein göttliches Leben zu seinen Zeiten.

10 und zeugte drei Söhne Sem, Ham und Japheth.

11 Aber die Erde war verderbt vor Gottes Augen und voll Frevels.

12 Da sah Gott auf die Erde, und siehe, sie war verderbt; denn alles Fleisch hatte seinen Weg verderbt auf Erden.

13 Da sprach Gott zu Noah: Alles Fleisches Ende ist vor mich gekommen; denn die Erde ist voll Frevels von ihnen; und siehe da, ich will sie verderben mit der Erde.

14 Mache dir einen Kasten von Tannenholz und mache Kammern darin und verpiche ihn mit Pech inwendig und auswendig.

15 Und mache ihn also: Dreihundert Ellen sei die Länge, fünfzig Ellen die Weite und dreißig Ellen die Höhe.

16 Ein Fenster sollst du daran machen obenan, eine Elle groß. Die Tür sollst du mitten in seine Seite setzen. Und er soll drei Boden haben: einen unten, den andern in der Mitte, den dritten in der Höhe.

17 Denn siehe, ich will eine Sintflut mit Wasser kommen lassen auf Erden, zu verderben alles Fleisch, darin ein lebendiger Odem ist, unter dem Himmel. Alles, was auf Erden ist, soll untergehen.

18 Aber mit dir will ich einen Bund aufrichten; und du sollst in den Kasten gehen mit deinen Söhnen, mit deinem Weibe und mit deiner Söhne Weibern.

19 Und du sollst in den Kasten tun allerlei Tiere von allem Fleisch, je ein Paar, Männlein und Weiblein, daß sie lebendig bleiben bei dir.

20 Von den Vögeln nach ihrer Art, von dem Vieh nach seiner Art und von allerlei Gewürm auf Erden nach seiner Art: von den allen soll je ein Paar zu dir hineingehen, daß sie leben bleiben.

21 Und du sollst allerlei Speise zu dir nehmen, die man ißt, und sollst sie bei dir sammeln, daß sie dir und ihnen zur Nahrung da sei.

22 Und Noah tat alles, was ihm Gott gebot.

482. Until now nobody has known what the years and the numbers of years occurring in this chapter mean in the internal sense. People who stay within the sense of the letter imagine that they are no more than chronological years. But none of the content from here down to Chapter 12 is history as it seems to be in the sense of the letter, for every single detail contains something of a different nature. What applies to names applies to numbers as well. In the Word the number three occurs frequently, and so does the number seven; and in every instance they mean something holy or inviolable as regards those states which the periods of time or whatever else that is mentioned embody or represent. This applies as much to the shortest as to the longest time-intervals; for just as parts makeup the whole, so do the shortest make up the longest. For a similarity must exist in order that a whole may emerge satisfactorily out of the parts, or that which is largest out of that which is smallest.

[2] As in Isaiah,

Jehovah has now spoken, saying, In three years, according to the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab will be rendered worthless. Isaiah 16:14.

In the same prophet,

The Lord said to me, Within yet a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar will be brought to an end. Isaiah 21:6.

Here both the shortest as well as the longest time-intervals are meant. In Habakkuk,

O Jehovah, I have heard Your fame; I was afraid. O Jehovah, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years do You make it known. Habakkuk 3:2.

Here 'the midst of the years' stands for the Lord's Coming. If the intervals are shorter this stands for every coming of the Lord, as when a person is being regenerated; but if longer it stands for the rising anew of the Lord's Church. It is also called in Isaiah 'the year of the redeemed', The day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. Isaiah 63:4.

So too 'the thousand years' for which Satan is to be bound, Revelation 20:2-3, 7, and 'the thousand years' associated with the first resurrection, Revelation 20:4-6. These in no way mean a thousand years but the states associated with them. For just as 'days, as shown 'already, are interpreted as a state, so too are 'years', and the states are described by the number of the years. From this it becomes clear that periods of time in this chapter also embody states, for every Church experienced a different state of perception from the next, according to differences of disposition resulting from inherited and acquired characteristics.

Genesis第12章

学习

   

1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.

2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."

4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came.

6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.

7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your seed." He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him.

8 He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.

9 Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.

10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.

11 It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

12 It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' They will kill me, but they will save you alive.

13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you."

14 It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17 Yahweh plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?

19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way."

20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they brought him on the way with his wife and all that he had.
