Ezekielis第11章

学习

   

1 Dvasia pakėlė mane ir nunešė prie Viešpaties šventyklos rytinių vartų. Ten, prie vartų, mačiau dvidešimt penkis vyrus, tarp jų ir kunigaikščius: Jaazaniją, Azūro sūnų, ir Pelatiją, Benajo sūnų.

2 Jis tarė: “Žmogaus sūnau, šitie vyrai kuria pavojingus planus ir duoda piktus patarimus šiam miestui.

3 Jie sako: ‘Dar toli; statykime namus. Miestas yra katilas, o mes­ mėsa!’

4 Todėl, žmogaus sūnau, pranašauk prieš juos”.

5 Viešpaties Dvasia kalbėjo: “Sakyk: ‘Taip sako Viešpats: ‘Aš žinau, ką jūs sakote ir ką galvojate.

6 Jūs daugelį nužudėte šiame mieste, jų lavonų pripildėte gatves’.

7 Todėl taip sako Viešpats: ‘Jūsų užmuštieji­tai mėsa, o miestas­ katilas. Bet jus Aš pašalinsiu iš miesto.

8 Jūs bijote kardo, ir Aš atiduosiu jus kardui.

9 Aš pašalinsiu jus iš miesto, atiduosiu svetimšaliams ir įvykdysiu jums teismą.

10 Jūs krisite nuo kardo. Aš teisiu jus prie Izraelio sienos, ir jūs žinosite, kad Aš esu Viešpats.

11 Miestas nebus jums katilu ir jūs nebūsite mėsa jame. Aš teisiu jus prie Izraelio sienos.

12 Jūs žinosite, kad Aš esu Viešpats. Jūs nesilaikėte mano įsakymų ir nevykdėte mano sprendimų, bet elgėtės kaip aplink jus gyvenantys pagonys’ ”.

13 Man pranašaujant, mirė Pelatijas, sūnus Benajo. Aš kritau veidu žemėn, balsiai šaukdamas: “Ak, Viešpatie Dieve, ar Tu visai sunaikinsi Izraelio likutį?”

14 Viešpats atsakė:

15 “Žmogaus sūnau, tavo broliai, taip, tavo broliai, yra gyvenantys su tavimi tremtyje, apie kuriuos Jeruzalės gyventojai sako: ‘Jie gyvena toli nuo Viešpaties, o mums duotas šis kraštas!’

16 Aš juos toli išvijau ir išsklaidžiau tarp pagonių tautų, tačiau būsiu jiems šventykla tuose kraštuose.

17 Aš juos surinksiu ir sugrąžinsiu iš tų tautų, kuriose juos išsklaidžiau, ir duosiu jiems Izraelio kraštą.

18 Sugrįžę jie pašalins visas šlykštybes ir bjaurystes.

19 Aš duosiu jiems vieną širdį ir įdėsiu jiems naują dvasią. Aš išimsiu iš jų kūno akmeninę širdį ir duosiu jiems kūno širdį.

20 Jie laikysis mano įsakymų ir vykdys mano nuostatus. Jie bus mano tauta, ir Aš būsiu jų Dievas.

21 O kurių širdys seka šlykštybes ir bjaurystes, tų kelius sugrąžinsiu ant jų galvų,­sako Viešpats Dievas”.

22 Cherubai pakėlė sparnus, ratai pajudėjo su jais, o Izraelio Dievo šlovė buvo virš jų.

23 Viešpaties šlovė pakilo iš miesto vidurio ir nusileido ant kalno į rytus nuo miesto.

24 Po šitų Dievo Dvasios regėjimų dvasia pakėlė mane ir nunešė Chaldėjon pas tremtinius. egėjimas, kurį mačiau, išnyko.

25 Aš papasakojau tremtiniams visa, ką Viešpats man regėjime parodė ir pasakė.

Apocalypse Explained#1081

学习本章节

  
/1232  
  

1081. And shall make her desolate and naked. That this signifies rejection of the falsities thereof, which are falsified truths, and then manifestation that they are destitute of all truth, is evident from the signification of making desolate and naked, as denoting to reject the falsities thereof, which are falsified truths. And, because, when these are rejected, it is manifested that they are without any truth, therefore this also is signified. By being desolate and naked is signified to be destitute of all truth, for spiritual desolation and nakedness is signified. And spiritual desolation is like that in a wilderness, where there are neither corn nor fruit-trees, and spiritual nakedness is like that of a man who is without garments. Corn and fruit-trees also signify the knowledges of truth and good, and garments signify truths clothing. Wherefore, to be without the latter and the former is to be without any truth. That nakedness denotes the deprivation of truth may be seen (n. 240, 1008); and that desolation, such as is in the wilderness, denotes where there is no truth may be seen (n. 730).

Continuation concerning the Word:-

[2] What is the nature of the Word as to influx and as to correspondences can now be illustrated. It is said in John:

"He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and should turn, and I should heal them" (12:40).

By the eyes which are blinded are signified the understanding and the faith of truth; by the heart which is hardened is signified the will and the love of good; and by being healed is signified to be reformed. The reason of their not being turned and healed was, lest they should profane; for the wicked man who is healed, and returns to his evil and falsity, profanes; and so it would have been with the Jewish nation.

[3] In Matthew:

"Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear" (13:16).

By the eyes here also are signified the understanding and the faith of truth; thus, by seeing is signified to understand and believe, and by the ears is signified obedience, thus a life according to the truths of faith, and by hearing is signified to obey and live. For no one is blessed because he sees and hears, but because he understands, believes, obeys, and lives.

[4] In the same:

"The lamp of the body is the eye; if the eye be entire, the whole body is lucid; if the eye be evil, the whole body is darkened. If therefore the light be darkness, how great is the darkness" (6:22, 23).

Here, also, by the eye is signified the understanding and the faith of truth, which is called a lamp from the light of truth, which man has from understanding and faith. And because from the understanding and faith of truth a man becomes wise, it is said, if the eye be entire, the whole body is lucid. The body is the man, and to be lucid is to be wise. But it is the reverse with the evil eye, that is, the understanding and the faith of falsity. Darkness denotes falsities. If the light be darkness, signifies, if the truth be false or falsified. And because truth falsified is worse than every other falsity, it is said, if the light be darkness, how great is the darkness.

[5] From these few examples it is evident what correspondence and influx are, namely, that the eye is a correspondence of the understanding and faith; the heart, a correspondence of the will and love; the ears, a correspondence of obedience; the lamp and light, correspondences of truth; and darkness, a correspondence of the false, and so on. And because the one is spiritual, and the other natural, and the spiritual acts into the natural, and forms it to a likeness of itself that it may appear before the eyes, or before the world, therefore that action is influx. Such is the Word in all and every part.

Genesis第6章

学习

   

1 It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

2 that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.

3 Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

7 Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

8 But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.

9 This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

13 God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.

17 I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.

21 Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."

22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
