1 I det ellevte år, på den første dag i måneden, kom Herrens ord til mig, og det lød så:

2 Menneskesønn! Fordi Tyrus sier om Jerusalem: Ha, ha! Sønderbrutt er den, denne folkenes port; den er flyttet til mig, jeg blir fylt - den er ødelagt,

3 derfor sier Herren, Israels Gud, så: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Tyrus, og fører mange folk frem mot dig, likesom havet fører sine bølger frem.

4 Og de skal ødelegge Tyrus' murer og rive ned dets tårner, og jeg vil feie bort dets grus av det og gjøre det til nakent berg;

5 det skal bli til en tørkeplass for fiskegarn ute i havet. For jeg har talt, sier Herren, Israels Gud, og det skal bli til hærfang for folkene,

6 og dets døtre på fastlandet* skal slåes ihjel med sverd, og de skal kjenne at jeg er Herren. / {* d.e. de til Tyrus hørende mindre byer.}

7 For så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Se, jeg lar Nebukadnesar, Babels konge, kongenes konge, komme mot Tyrus fra Norden med hester og vogner og ryttere og med en hær og meget folk.

8 Dine døtre på fastlandet skal han slå ihjel med sverd, og han skal bygge skanser mot dig og kaste en voll op mot dig og reise skjoldtak mot dig.

9 Og sin murbrekker skal han sette mot dine murer, og dine tårn skal han bryte ned med sine jern.

10 Hans hester er så mange at støvet av dem skal dekke dig; for larmen av ryttere og hjul og vogner skal dine murer beve, når han drar inn gjennem dine porter, som en drar inn i en hærtatt by.

11 Med sine hesters hover skal han trampe ned alle dine gater; ditt folk skal han slå ihjel med sverd, og dine sterke søiler skal synke til jorden.

12 De skal røve ditt gods og rane dine varer og bryte ned dine murer og rive ned dine herlige hus og kaste dine stener og ditt treverk og ditt støv ut i vannet.

13 Jeg lar dine larmende sanger høre op, og lyden av dine citarer skal ikke høres mere.

14 Jeg vil gjøre dig til nakent berg; du skal bli til en tørkeplass for fiskegarn; du skal aldri bygges op igjen; for jeg, Herren, har talt, sier Herren, Israels Gud.

15 sier Herren, Israels Gud, til Tyrus: Se, kystene skal beve ved braket av ditt fall, ved de såredes stønn og ved de mange mord midt i dig.

16 Alle havets fyrster skal stige ned fra sine troner og legge av sine kapper og ta av sig sine utsydde klær; de skal klæ sig i redsel, sitte på jorden og reddes hvert øieblikk og forferdes over dig.

17 De skal stemme i en klagesang over dig og si til dig: Hvorledes er du gått til grunne, du som hadde dine innbyggere fra havene, du den lovpriste stad, som var så mektig på havet, både du og dine innbyggere, som utbredte redsel for dig blandt alle som bodde der?

18 Nu gripes øene av redsel på den dag du faller - øene i havet forferdes over den ende du fikk.

19 For så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Når jeg gjør dig til en ødelagt by, lik de byer som det ikke lenger bor folk i, når jeg lar dypets vann stige op over dig, så vannmassene skjuler dig,

20 da lar jeg dig fare ned likesom de som farer ned i graven, til fortidens folk, og lar dig bo i dødsrikets land, i ruiner fra eldgammel tid, likesom de som farer ned i graven, forat ingen mere skal bo i dig; men jeg vil gjøre herlige ting* i de levendes land. / {* forherlige Israel.}

21 Til en forferdelse vil jeg gjøre dig, og du skal ikke være til mere; de skal søke efter dig, men aldri i evighet finne dig, sier Herren, Israels Gud.

58. The state of consummation of the Israelitish Church is described in both the historical parts of the Word, and its prophetic parts: in the prophetic, by the atrocious deeds of the kings, first of those of the Israelites, and afterwards of those of the Jews, by whom and under whom the land is said to have been profaned. But it is needless to recite them, because they are well known; only those passages from the prophetic parts shall be adduced in which the consummation and devastation of that Church are treated of. In these passages by "earth" and "land," "Zion," "Jerusalem," "cities," "mountains," "hills," "valleys," and "rivers," similar things are signified as above (n. 55). The following are from the prophetic parts of the Word:

[2] I saw the earth, and behold it was empty and void; and towards the heavens, and their light was not.... I saw, when, behold, Carmel 1 was a desert, and all the cities were desolated at the presence of Jehovah.... For thus hath Jehovah said, The whole land shall be wasteness, yet will I not make a consummation. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be blackened.

Thou, therefore, that art vastated, what wilt thou do? (Jer. 4:23-31; 5:10, 18).

The lion hath come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of nations... hath gone forth from his place, to reduce the land to a waste.... In that day... the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished (Jer. 4:7, 9).

In that day, every place where there were a thousand vines shall be... for thorns and briars,... because all the land shall be thorns and briars (Isa. 7:23-24).

A voice of the cry of the shepherds and... of the powerful ones of the flock, for Jehovah layeth waste their pastures: whence the sheepfolds of peace were devastated. Jehovah hath forsaken His tabernacle, for their land was reduced to a desolation (Jer. 25:36-38).

This house shall be like Shiloh, and Jerusalem shall be a devastation (Jer. 26:9; 27:17).

Jerusalem, and all the cities of Judah, shall be a desolation and a devastation in this day, because of the wickedness of your works; . . . your land is become a desolation, an astonishment and a curse (Jer. 44:2, 6, 22).

I will give the land to devastation, because they have committed transgression (Ezek. 15:8).

They shall be devastated in the midst of the devastated lands, and her cities in the midst of the desolated cities.... Then I will make the rivers drought,... the land into the hand of the evil, and I will vastate the land and the fulness thereof (Ezek. 30:7, 12).

When I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heavens, and will make the stars thereof black. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine;... and I will set darkness upon the land... when I shall bring on thy breaking up (Ezek. 32:7-9);

in like manner as the Lord foretold concerning the consummation of the present Christian Church (Matt. 24:29).

[3] I will give Mount Seir to wasteness and to devastation.... I will make thee the wastes of eternity... (Ezek. 35:3-4, 7, 9, 12, 14-15).

In that day they shall bring up a proverb against you... and say, In vastating we are vastated (Micah 2:4).

Fear and the pit have taken hold of us, devastation and breaking up (Lam. 3:47).

The mountain of Zion is vastated (Lam. 5:18).

Thine iniquity is consummated, O daughter of Zion (Lam. 4:22).

Woe to the sinful nation, heavy with iniquity;... they have provoked the Holy One of Israel.... From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness;... your land is a solitude.... The daughter of Zion is left as a tent in a vineyard, as a besieged city (Isa. 1:4-8, and following verses).

What will ye do in the day of visitation and devastation? Consummation is finished, justice is overwhelmed; for the Lord Jehovih is making a consummation and decision in the whole land (Isa. 10:3, etc., Isa. 10:22-23).

I have heard a consummation and decision from the Lord Jehovih of hosts in the whole land (Isa. 28:22).

The prophet fell upon his face, and said, Lord Jehovih! Thou art making a consummation with the remnants of Israel (Ezek. 11:13).

My sanctuary was profaned, and the land of Israel was devastated (Ezek. 25:3).

Were even Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst of it,... they only shall be delivered, but the land shall become a desolation (Ezek. 14:14, 16).

[4] The completion of the consummation of the Israelitish and Jewish Church was accomplished when the Lord our Saviour, after receiving the sponge of vinegar, cried out upon the cross,

It is consummated (John 19:29-30);

for it is said in David:

They gave gall for My meat, and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink:... let their habitation be devastated (Psalm 69:21, 25).

And in another place:

Without cause have they hid for Me the pit of the net; without cause have they digged for My soul. Let devastation come upon him before he is aware;... let him fall into devastation. Rescue My soul from their devastators, and My only one,-that is, the Church-from the lions' whelps (Psalm 35:7-8, 17).

I will make Jerusalem heaps, a habitation of dragons; I will reduce the cities of Judah to a waste;... behold, I am feeding them, even this people, with wormwood, and I will give them waters of gall to drink (Jer. 9:11-15).

Full consummation, after this, is described in Hosea thus:

The sons of Israel shall sit many days: no king, no prince, no sacrifice, no image, no ephod, and no teraphim (Hosea 3:4).

Such is their state at the present day. There is no need to adduce more passages. The passages in which the vastation, desolation and consummation of this Church are further mentioned, shall be only named: as, for example, Isa. 9:13-21; 22:4-14: Jer. 7:31-34; 25:33; 47:4: Ezek. 13:14-15; 14:8, 15; 19:7; 25:12-13; 26:2; 29:9-10, 12; 32:12, 15: Joel 1:15-20; 2:3; 3:19: Nahum 1:8-9: Zeph. 1:15; 2:9: Lam. 1:16: Psalm 73:17-19; 74:3.

The devastated are also called "thrust through" 2 (Ezek. 11:6-7; 21:30, 34; 26:6; 28:8, 23; 31:17-18; 32:20-24, 28-32; 35:8: Zeph. 2:12: Lam. 4:9: Psalm 69:27: and in other places). They are said to be "thrust through" because a "sword," by which this is done, signifies falsity destroying truth.

脚注:

1. See R.V. margin.

2. In most of these passages our ordinary Bibles have "slain"; but Young's Literal Translation of the Bible has "pierced," which, of course, is the same as "thrust through."
