1 אז ישיר־משה ובני ישראל את־השירה הזאת ליהוה ויאמרו לאמר אשירה ליהוה כי־גאה גאה סוס ורכבו רמה בים׃

2 עזי וזמרת יה ויהי־לי לישועה זה אלי ואנוהו אלהי אבי וארממנהו׃

3 יהוה איש מלחמה יהוה שמו׃

4 מרכבת פרעה וחילו ירה בים ומבחר שלשיו טבעו בים־סוף׃

5 תהמת יכסימו ירדו במצולת כמו־אבן׃

6 ימינך יהוה נאדרי בכח ימינך יהוה תרעץ אויב׃

7 וברב גאונך תהרס קמיך תשלח חרנך יאכלמו כקש׃

8 וברוח אפיך נערמו מים נצבו כמו־נד נזלים קפאו תהמת בלב־ים׃

9 אמר אויב ארדף אשיג אחלק שלל תמלאמו נפשי אריק חרבי תורישמו ידי׃

10 נשפת ברוחך כסמו ים צללו כעופרת במים אדירים׃

11 מי־כמכה באלם יהוה מי כמכה נאדר בקדש נורא תהלת עשה פלא׃

12 נטית ימינך תבלעמו ארץ׃

13 נחית בחסדך עם־זו גאלת נהלת בעזך אל־נוה קדשך׃

14 שמעו עמים ירגזון חיל אחז ישבי פלשת׃

15 אז נבהלו אלופי אדום אילי מואב יאחזמו רעד נמגו כל ישבי כנען׃

16 תפל עליהם אימתה ופחד בגדל זרועך ידמו כאבן עד־יעבר עמך יהוה עד־יעבר עם־זו קנית׃

17 תבאמו ותטעמו בהר נחלתך מכון לשבתך פעלת יהוה מקדש אדני כוננו ידיך׃

18 יהוה ימלך לעלם ועד׃

19 כי בא סוס פרעה ברכבו ובפרשיו בים וישב יהוה עלהם את־מי הים ובני ישראל הלכו ביבשה בתוך הים׃ ף

20 ותקח מרים הנביאה אחות אהרן את־התף בידה ותצאן כל־הנשים אחריה בתפים ובמחלת׃

21 ותען להם מרים שירו ליהוה כי־גאה גאה סוס ורכבו רמה בים׃ ס

22 ויסע משה את־ישראל מים־סוף ויצאו אל־מדבר־שור וילכו שלשת־ימים במדבר ולא־מצאו מים׃

23 ויבאו מרתה ולא יכלו לשתת מים ממרה כי מרים הם על־כן קרא־שמה מרה׃

24 וילנו העם על־משה לאמר מה־נשתה׃

25 ויצעק אל־יהוה ויורהו יהוה עץ וישלך אל־המים וימתקו המים שם שם לו חק ומשפט ושם נסהו׃

26 ויאמר אם־שמוע תשמע לקול יהוה אלהיך והישר בעיניו תעשה והאזנת למצותיו ושמרת כל־חקיו כל־המחלה אשר־שמתי במצרים לא־אשים עליך כי אני יהוה רפאך׃ ס

27 ויבאו אילמה ושם שתים עשרה עינת מים ושבעים תמרים ויחנו־שם על־המים׃

8265. 'The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea' means in that as a result simply of His presence falsities arising from evil have been damned and cast into hell. This is clear from the meaning of 'the horse' as falsities belonging to a perverted understanding, for 'horse' means the power of understanding, see 2761, 2762, 3217, 5321, and in the contrary sense a perverted understanding, which is no understanding at all, and therefore falsity is meant in that contrary sense by 'horse' and false factual knowledge by 'Pharaoh's horse', 6125, 8146, 8148; from the meaning of 'rider' (or 'horseman') as reasonings based on that false knowledge, dealt with in 8146, 8148; and from the meaning of 'throwing into the sea' as damning and casting into hell. 'The sea', the Sea Suph at this point, is the hell where the falsities arising from evil are, the falsities of those belonging to the Church who have upheld separated faith and led a life of evil, see 8099, 8137, 8148, which is why they are called falsities arising from evil. The fact that those falsities were damned and cast into hell as a result simply of the Lord's presence was shown in the previous chapter. The evil cannot at all bear or put up with God's presence. His presence causes them pain, torments them, and so to speak snuffs the life out of them; they behave like those in the throes of death. The reason for this is that what is God's has the totality of power within it; it destroys and wipes out that which is opposed to it, namely falsity and evil. This is why at God's presence the life of those steeped in falsity and evil becomes burdensome and contains, in the measure that He is present, the feeling of hell within it. But in order that those steeped in falsities and evils may not be completely crushed and suffer torment they are shielded by their own falsities and evils, which act like mists. These are by nature such that they diminish, or divert, or smother the flow of what is Divine in the same way that earthly mists or clouds normally do to sunrays.

[2] These things are meant by the following words in John,

They will say to the mountains and rocks, Rush down on us and hide us from the face of Him who is seated on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb. For the great day of His anger has come; who therefore will be able to stand firm? Revelation 6:16-17.

Evils and falsities are meant by 'the mountains and rocks' which they will address, saying that they should rush down on them and hide them. 'The anger of the Lamb' means torment, the appearance being that the Divine would cause the torment because of His anger, but the reality being that the falsities and evils themselves are responsible for it. The words contained in Isaiah 2:10, Hosea 10:8, and Luke 23:30 have a similar meaning. The fact that damnation takes place as a result simply of the Lord's presence is also meant by these words that follow in the song,

You send out Your wrath, it eats them up like stubble. And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the floods stood as a heap. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them over; they sought a deep place. You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. Verses 7-8, 10, 12.

Words with a similar meaning occur in very many other places in the Word.

Revelation第5章

学习

   

1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.

2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?"

3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it.

4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it.

5 One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."

6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

8 Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood, out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

10 and made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign on earth."

11 I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;

12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!"

13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!"

14 The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
