1 És lõn az Úr beszéde hozzám, mondván:

2 Embernek fia! mondjad Tírus fejedelmének: Ezt mondja az Úr Isten: Mivelhogy felfuvalkodott szíved és ezt mondtad: Isten vagyok én, Isten székében ülök a tengerek szívében, holott csak ember vagy és nem Isten, mégis olylyá tevéd szíved, minõ az Isten szíve,

3 Lám, hát bölcsebb volnál te Dánielnél! Semmi elrejtett dolog nem homályos néked!

4 Bölcseségeddel és értelmeddel gyûjtöttél magadnak gazdagságot, s gyûjtöttél aranyat s ezüstöt kincses házaidba.

5 Bölcseségednek nagy voltával kereskedésed közben megsokasítád gazdagságodat, és felfuvalkodott szíved gazdagságod miatt.

6 Ezokáért így szól az Úr Isten: Mivel olylyá tevéd szíved, minõ az Isten szíve:

7 Azért ímé, hozok reád idegeneket, a nemzetek legkegyetlenebbjeit, és kivonszák fegyvereiket bölcseséged szépsége ellen, és megfertéztetik fényességedet.

8 A sírgödörbe szállítnak alá, s meghalsz a megölettek halálával a tengerek szívében.

9 Vajjon mondván mondod-é megölõd elõtt: Isten vagyok én? holott ember vagy és nem Isten a téged átütõnek kezében!

10 Körülmetéletlenek halálával halsz meg, idegeneknek keze által. Mert én szóltam, ezt mondja az Úr Isten.

11 És lõn az Úr beszéde hozzám, mondván:

12 Embernek fia! kezdj gyászéneket Tírus királyáról, és mondd néki: Így szól az Úr Isten: Te valál az arányosság pecsétgyûrûje, teljes bölcseséggel, tökéletes szépségben.

13 Édenben, Isten kertjében voltál; rakva valál mindenféle drágakövekkel: karniollal, topázzal és jáspissal, társiskõvel és onixxal, berillussal, zafirral, gránáttal és smaragddal; [és ]karikáid mesterkézzel és mélyedéseid aranyból készültek ama napon, melyen teremtetél.

14 Valál felkent oltalmazó Kérub; és [úgy] állattalak téged, hogy Isten szent hegyén valál, tüzes kövek közt jártál.

15 Feddhetetlen valál útaidban attól a naptól fogva, melyen teremtetél, míg gonoszság nem találtaték benned.

16 Kereskedésed bõsége miatt belsõd erõszakossággal telt meg és vétkezél; azért levetélek téged az Isten hegyérõl, és elvesztélek, te oltalmazó Kérub, a tüzes kövek közül.

17 Szíved felfuvalkodott szépséged miatt; megrontottad bölcseségedet fényességedben; a földre vetettelek királyok elõtt, adtalak szemök gyönyörûségére.

18 Vétkeid sokaságával kereskedésed hamisságában megfertéztetted szenthelyeidet; azért tüzet hoztam ki belsõdbõl, ez emésztett meg téged; és tevélek hamuvá a földön mindenek láttára, a kik reád néznek.

19 Mindnyájan, a kik ismertek a népek közt, elborzadnak miattad; rémségessé lettél, s többé örökké nem leszel!

20 És lõn az Úr beszéde hozzám, mondván:

21 Embernek fia! vesd tekintetedet Sidonra, és prófétálj ellene.

22 És mondjad: Így szól az Úr Isten: Ímé, én ellened [megyek, ]Sidon, és megdicsõítem magamat közepetted, hogy megtudják, hogy én vagyok az Úr, mikor ítéleteket cselekszem benne, és megszentelem magamat benne.

23 És bocsátok reá döghalált és vért utczáira, és sebesültek hullanak el benne fegyver miatt, mely reá [jõ] mindenfelõl; hogy megtudják, hogy én vagyok az Úr.

24 És ne legyen többé Izráel házának szúró tövise és fájdalomszerzõ tüskéje mindazok között, kik körülöttök vannak, kik õket megvetik, és tudják meg, hogy én vagyok az Úr.

25 Így szól az Úr Isten: Mikor egybegyûjtöm Izráel házát a népek közül, kik közé szétszórattak, akkor megszentelem magamat rajtok a pogányok szeme láttára, és laknak az õ földjökön, melyet adtam Jákóbnak, az én szolgámnak.

26 És laknak azon bátorsággal, és házakat építenek s szõlõket plántálnak, és laknak bátorsággal, mikor ítéleteket cselekedtem mindazokon, kik õket megvetik vala õ körülöttök, hogy megtudják, hogy én vagyok az Úr, az õ Istenök.

Apocalypse Revealed#405

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

405. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died. (8:9) This symbolically means that those who had lived that faith and continued to live it could not be reformed and receive life.

A third symbolizes all such, as said above. Creatures mean people who can be reformed (no. 290). The reason is that to create means, symbolically, to reform (no. 254). Their living means, symbolically, to be able by reformation to receive life. That they died means, symbolically, that people who live that faith alone cannot receive life. They cannot, because people are all reformed by a faith united to charity, thus by a faith accompanying charity, and none by faith alone; for charity is the life of faith.

[2] Since in the spiritual world the affections and consequent perceptions and thoughts of spirits and angels appear at a distance in the forms of animals or creatures on the earth called beasts, of creatures in the air called birds, and of creatures in the sea called fish, therefore the Word so often mentions beasts, birds, and fish, which nevertheless have precisely the meaning stated. So for example in the following places:

...Jehovah has a quarrel with the inhabitants of the land, for there is no truth or mercy or knowledge of God... And everyone who dwells in it will waste away along with the beast of the field and the bird of the air; even the fish of the sea will be gathered up. (Hosea 4:1, 3)

I will consume man and beast..., the bird of the heavens, the fish of the sea, ...the stumbling blocks along with the impious... (Zephaniah 1:3)

There shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, and the fish of the sea, the bird of the heavens, and the beast of the field... shall tremble before Me. (Ezekiel 38:18-20)

You have made Him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet... the beasts of the fields, the bird of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the path of the seas. (Psalms 8:6-8)

The latter is said of the Lord.

Pray ask the beasts, and they will teach you; or the birds of the air, and they will inform you...; and the fish of the sea will tell you. Who of all these does not know that the hand of Jehovah has done this? (Job 12:7-9)

And in many other places as well.

[3] Fish, moreover, and creatures of the sea, as they are called here, mean the affections and consequent thoughts of such people as are concerned with general truths, and so who take more from a natural source than from a spiritual one. These people are meant by fish in the preceding passages, and also in the following ones:

By My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink... and die of thirst. (Isaiah 50:2)

...the king of Egypt, a great whale, you who lie in the midst of your rivers, you said, "The river is mine; I made myself..".. (Therefore) I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales..., and I will leave you in the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. (Ezekiel 29:3-5)

This was addressed to the king of Egypt, because Egypt symbolizes the natural level divorced from the spiritual one, and so the fish of his rivers mean people governed by doctrines, who because of them are caught up in faith separated from charity, a faith that is simply knowledge.

Because of that separation, moreover, one of the miracles in Egypt was the turning of their waters into blood, so that the fish died (Exodus 7:17-25, Psalms 105:29).

[4] Furthermore:

Why do You make mankind like fish of the sea...? Everyone draws them up with a hook, and gathers them in a net... (Habakkuk 1:14-16)

Fish here stand for people concerned with general truths and caught up in faith divorced from charity. In contrast, fish stand for people concerned with general truths and governed by a faith conjoined with charity in Ezekiel:

He said to me: "These waters flowing to the eastern boundary... enter the sea, (from which comes) every living soul that creeps... and very much fish... ...fishermen will stand by it... with a spreading of their nets. Its fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. (Ezekiel 47:1, 8-10)

In Matthew:

(Jesus said,) the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, and they gathered (fish).... And they put the good ones into vessels and threw the bad away. (Matthew 13:47-49)

And in Jeremiah:

I will bring (the children of Israel) back into their land... And I will send for many fishermen...(who) shall fish them. (Jeremiah 16:15-16)

[5] Consequently, anyone who knows that fish symbolize people and things of the kind stated, can see the following: Why the Lord chose fishermen to be His disciples, and said,

Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men. (Matthew 4:18-19)

Why the disciples, with the Lord's blessing, caught a huge multitude of fish, and the Lord said to Peter,

Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men. (Luke 5:2-10)

Why, when they wished to exact tribute from the Lord, He told Peter to go to the sea and draw out a fish, and to give them the coin found in it for Him and for himself (Matthew 16:24-27).

Why, after His resurrection, the Lord gave His disciples fish and bread to eat (John 21:2-13).

And why He told them to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). For the nations they were converting possessed only general truths, and were concerned more with natural things than spiritual ones.

Apocalypse Revealed#290

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

290. And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying. (5:13) This symbolizes a confession and glorification of the Lord by angels of the lowest heavens.

That it is a confession and glorification of the Lord by angels of the lowest heavens is apparent from the series, because the preceding confessions and glorifications of the Lord were made by angels of the higher and lower heavens (nos. 275ff., 286ff.). For there are three heavens, and in each countless societies, every one of which is called a heaven.

It is apparent that angels are meant by every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea, for we are told, "I heard (them) saying," and they said "Blessing and honor and glory and strength be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!"

[2] Their being called created things accords with the style of the Word, in which all created things, both those of the animal kingdom and those of the plant kingdom, symbolize various constituents in a person - in general constituents having to do with his will or affection, and constituents having to do with his intellect or thought. They have symbolic meanings because they are correspondent forms. And because the Word was written solely in terms of things that correspond, similar things are therefore said in it about angels in heaven and people of the church. To confirm this we will cite just a few passages, as the following:

(Jesus) said (to the disciples,) "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)

But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or... the vegetation of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will recount to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of Jehovah has done this... (Job 12:7-9)

Let heaven and earth praise (Jehovah), the seas and everything that moves in them. For God will save Zion... (Psalms 69:34-35)

Praise Jehovah from the earth, you whales and all the depths. (Psalms 148:7)

I will utterly consume everything from the face of the earth...; I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea. (Zephaniah 1:2-3, Revelation 8:7-9)

The heavens will be glad, the earth will rejoice, the sea will pitch and roll, and all its fullness; the field will exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing before Jehovah. For He is coming, coming to judge the earth. (Psalms 96:11-13)

And so on in many other places.

[3] The text says, "every created thing," and the meaning is every reformed thing, or all reformed people. For to create means, symbolically, to reform and regenerate (no. 254).

To be shown the meaning of "in heaven," "on the earth," and "under the earth," see no. 260 above. And for the meaning of the sea, no. 238. It is apparent from this what is symbolically meant by "such as are in the sea, and all that are in them." Such things as are in the Word are meant by the fish of the sea, and these are sensual affections, which are the lowest affections of the natural self. For in the spiritual world people's affections look at a distance like fish, and as being in a sea, because the atmosphere in which they exist appears as though made of water, and thus as a sea, in the eyes of the inhabitants who dwell in the heavens and on the earth there, as may be seen in no. 238 above, and as regards fish, in no. 405.
