学习

   

1 Bukod dito'y itinaas ako ng Espiritu, at dinala ako sa pintuang-daang silanganan ng bahay ng Panginoon, na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan: at narito, nasa pinto ng pintuang-daan ang dalawang pu't limang lalake; at nakita ko sa gitna nila si Jaazanias na anak ni Azur, at si Pelatias na anak ni Benaias, na mga prinsipe ng bayan.

2 At sinabi niya sa akin, Anak ng tao, ito ang mga lalake na nagsisikatha ng kasamaan, at nagbibigay ng masamang payo sa bayang ito;

3 Na nagsasabi, Hindi malapit ang panahon ng pagtatayo ng mga bahay; ang bayang ito ang caldera, at tayo ang karne.

4 Kaya't manghula ka laban sa kanila, manghula ka, Oh anak ng tao.

5 At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, at sinabi niya sa akin, Salitain mo, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Ganito ang inyong sinabi, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel; sapagka't nalalaman ko ang mga bagay na pumasok sa inyong pag-iisip.

6 Inyong pinarami ang inyong pinatay sa bayang ito, at inyong pinuno ang mga lansangan nito ng mga patay.

7 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Ang inyong mga patay na inyong ibinulagta sa gitna nito, ay karne, at ang bayang ito ay siyang caldera: nguni't kayo'y ilalabas sa gitna nito.

8 Kayo'y nangatakot sa tabak; at aking pararatingin ang tabak sa inyo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

9 At aking ilalabas kayo sa gitna nito, at ibibigay ko kayo sa mga kamay ng mga taga ibang lupa, at maglalapat ako ng mga kahatulan sa inyo.

10 Kayo'y mangabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak; aking hahatulan kayo sa hangganan ng Israel; at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

11 Ang bayang ito ay hindi magiging inyong caldera, o kayo man ay magiging karne sa gitna nito, aking hahatulan kayo sa hangganan ng Israel;

12 At inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon: sapagka't kayo'y hindi nagsilakad ng ayon sa aking mga palatuntunan, o inyo mang isinagawa ang aking mga kahatulan, kundi kayo'y nagsigawa ng ayon sa mga kaugalian ng mga bansa na nangasa palibot ninyo.

13 At nangyari, nang ako'y nanghuhula, na si Pelatias na anak ni Benaias ay namatay. Nang magkagayo'y nasubasob ako, at ako'y sumigaw ng malakas, at aking sinabi, Ah Panginoong Dios! gagawa ka baga ng lubos na wakas sa nalabi sa Israel?

14 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na sinasabi,

15 Anak ng tao, ang iyong mga kapatid, sa makatuwid baga'y ang iyong mga kapatid, na mga lalake sa iyong kamaganakan, at ang buong sangbahayan ni Israel, silang lahat, siyang mga pinagsabihan ng mga nananahan sa Jerusalem. Magsilayo kayo sa Panginoon; sa amin ay ibinigay ang lupaing ito na pinakaari.

16 Kaya't iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Bagaman sila'y aking inilayo sa gitna ng mga bansa, at bagaman aking pinangalat sila sa gitna ng mga lupain, gayon ma'y ako'y magiging pinaka santuario sa kanila sa sandaling panahon sa mga lupain na kanilang kapaparunan.

17 Kaya't iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Aking pipisanin kayo mula sa mga bayan, at titipunin ko kayo sa mga lupain na inyong pinangalatan, at aking ibibigay sa inyo ang lupain ng Israel.

18 At sila'y magsisiparoon, at kanilang aalisin ang lahat na karumaldumal na bagay niyaon, at ang lahat ng kasuklamsuklam niyaon, mula roon.

19 At aking bibigyan sila ng isang puso, at aking lalagyan ng bagong diwa ang loob ninyo; at aking aalisin ang batong puso sa kanilang laman, at aking bibigyan sila ng pusong laman;

20 Upang sila'y magsilakad sa aking mga palatuntunan, at ganapin ang aking mga kahatulan at isagawa: at sila'y magiging aking bayan, at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios.

21 Nguni't tungkol sa kanila na ang puso ay nagsisunod ayon sa kanilang mga karumaldumal na bagay, at sa kanilang mga kasuklamsuklam, aking pararatingin ang kanilang lakad sa kanilang sariling mga ulo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

22 Nang magkagayo'y itinaas ng mga kerubin ang kanilang mga pakpak, at ang mga gulong ay nangasa siping nila; at ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios ng Israel ay nasa itaas ng mga yaon.

23 At ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay napailanglang mula sa pinakaloob ng bayan, lumagay sa ibabaw ng bundok na nasa dakong silanganan ng bayan.

24 At itinaas ako ng Espiritu, at dinala ako sa pangitain sa Caldea sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng Dios, sa kanila na mga bihag. Sa gayo'y ang pangitain na aking nakita ay napaitaas mula sa akin.

25 Nang magkagayo'y sinalita ko sa kanila na mga bihag ang lahat na bagay na ipinakita sa akin ng Panginoon.

8972. Verse 1 And these are the judgements which you shall set before them means those more external truths such as must exist in a civic state where the Church is representative, which flow from the internal truths belonging to order in heaven. The fact that these things are meant by 'the judgements that were to be set before the children of Israel' is clear from the meaning of 'judgements' as truths, dealt with in 2235, 6397, 7206, 8685, 8695. The reason why 'judgements' are truths is that all judgement is effected by means of truths; therefore 'executing judgement' in the Word means executing truth, that is, judging in accordance with truths. But the plural 'judgements' means civil laws, thus those more external truths such as exist in a civic state. The words 'where the Church is representative' are added because these truths contain and embody within themselves the truths that belong to order in heaven, as may be recognized from the internal sense of them.

[2] The laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments, judgements, and statutes. The term 'commandments' was given to those which were laws of life, 'judgements' to those which were laws of the civic state, and 'statutes' to those which were laws of worship. As regards judgements specifically, they are the kinds of laws that are contained in the present chapter and also some that follow. They served as laws in a Church in which inner realities, those of heaven and of the Church, were represented by outward things; but they do not serve as laws in a Church in which inner realities are no longer represented by outward things, as in the Christian Church. The reason for this is that inner realities have been revealed to people of this Church, and therefore inner realities are the channel through which contact is made with heaven, not outward things, as had been the situation before the Christian Church. Here is the reason why members of the Christian Church are not bound to adhere to the outward requirements of the laws called judgements and statutes, only to the inward ones. Holiness still remains within them because they hold holy truths within them, as also does every single command in the Word regarding the sacrifices. Although these are no longer prescriptive laws they remain holy constituents of the Word because of the Divine realities which they hold within themselves and which they represented. For when they are read by a Christian the Divine realities which are held within them and which were represented by them are discerned in heaven. They fill the angels with holiness, and at the same time the reader too through influx from the angels, especially if the reader himself is thinking at the same time about the Divine realities within them. From this it is evident that even the Old Testament Word is extremely holy.

[3] The fact that the laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments that were laws of life, judgements that were laws of the civic state, and statutes that were laws of worship, is evident in Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Go, say to them, Go back into your tents. But you, stand here with Me, that I may tell you all the commandments, and statutes, and judgements which you shall teach them, so that they may do them. Deuteronomy 5:30-31.

In the same author,

Furthermore these are the commandments, statutes, and judgements which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you. Deuteronomy 6:1.

In the same author,

Therefore you shall keep the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them. Deuteronomy 7:11.

In David,

If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgements, if they profane My statutes and do not keep My commandments, I will visit their transgression with the rod. Psalms 89:30-32.

[4] Furthermore all the laws, in that they were those of a representative Church, were generally called judgements and statutes, as in Moses,

Now therefore, O Israel, hear the statutes and the judgements which I will teach you, that you may do them. What great nation [is there] that has righteous statutes and judgements, like all this law which I will set before you today? Deuteronomy 4:1, 8; 5:1.

In Ezekiel.

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands that are around her; for they have repudiated My judgements, and have not walked in My statutes. Ezekiel 5:6-7.

In the same prophet,

Let him 1 walk in My statutes and keep My judgements - to do the truth. Ezekiel 18:9.

In addition to these there are many other places, such as Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 26:17; Ezekiel 11:12, 20; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24.
