Ezekiel第26章

学习

   

1 At nangyari, nang ikalabing isang taon, nang unang araw ng buwan, na ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,

2 Anak ng tao, sapagka't ang Tiro ay nagsabi laban sa Jerusalem, Aha, siya na naging pintuan ng mga bayan ay sira; siya'y nabalik sa akin: ako'y mapupuno ngayong siya'y sira:

3 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, ako'y laban sa iyo, Oh Tiro, at aking pasasampahin ang maraming bansa laban sa iyo, gaya ng pagpapasampa ng dagat ng kaniyang mga alon.

4 At kanilang gigibain ang mga kuta ng Tiro, at ibabagsak ang kaniyang mga moog: akin din namang papalisin sa kaniya ang kaniyang alabok, at gagawin ko siyang hubad na bato.

5 Siya'y magiging dakong ladlaran ng mga lambat sa gitna ng dagat: sapagka't ako ang nagsalita sabi ng Panginoong Dios; at siya'y magiging samsam sa mga bansa.

6 At ang kaniyang mga anak na babae na nangasa parang ay papatayin ng tabak: at kanilang malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

7 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, aking dadalhin sa Tiro si Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, na hari ng mga hari, mula sa hilagaan, na may mga kabayo, at may mga karo, at may mga nangangabayo, at isang pulutong, at maraming tao.

8 Kaniyang papatayin ng tabak ang iyong mga anak na babae sa parang; at siya'y gagawa ng mga katibayan laban sa iyo, at magtitindig ng isang bunton laban sa iyo, at magtataas ng longki laban sa iyo.

9 At kaniyang ilalagay ang kaniyang mga pangsaksak laban sa iyong mga kuta, at sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga palakol ay kaniyang ibabagsak ang iyong mga moog.

10 Dahil sa kasaganaan ng kaniyang mga kabayo, tatakpan ka ng kaniyang alabok: ang iyong mga kuta ay uuga sa hugong ng mga mangangabayo, at ng mga kariton, at ng mga karo, pagka siya'y papasok sa iyong mga pintuang-bayan, na gaya ng pagpasok ng tao sa isang bayan na pinamutasan.

11 Tutungtungan ng mga paa ng kaniyang mga kabayo ang lahat mong mga lansangan; papatayin niya ng tabak ang iyong bayan; at ang mga haligi ng iyong lakas ay mabubuwal sa lupa.

12 At sila'y magsisisamsam ng iyong mga kayamanan, at lolooban ang iyong kalakal; at kanilang ibabagsak ang iyong mga kuta, at gigibain ang iyong mga masayang bahay; at ilalagay ang iyong mga bato, at ang iyong kahoy at ang iyong alabok sa gitna ng tubig.

13 At aking patitigilin ang tinig ng iyong mga awit; at ang tunog ng iyong mga alpa ay hindi na maririnig.

14 At gagawin kitang hubad na bato: ikaw ay magiging dakong ladlaran ng mga lambat; ikaw ay hindi na matatayo; sapagka't akong Panginoon ang nagsalita, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

15 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa Tiro; Hindi baga mayayanig ang mga pulo sa tunog ng iyong pagbagsak, pagka ang nasugatan ay dumadaing, pagka may patayan sa gitna mo?

16 Kung magkagayo'y lahat na prinsipe sa dagat ay magsisibaba mula sa kanilang mga luklukan, at aalisin ang kanilang mga balabal, at huhubuin ang kanilang mga damit na may burda: sila'y dadatnan ng panginginig; sila'y magsisiupo sa lupa, at manginginig sa tuwituwina, at mangatitigilan sa iyo.

17 At pananaghuyan ka nila, at magsasabi sa iyo, Ano't nagiba ka, na tinatahanan ng mga taong dagat, na bantog na bayan na malakas sa dagat, siya at ang mga mananahan sa kaniya, na nagpapangilabot sa lahat na nagsisitahan sa kaniya!

18 Ang mga pulo nga ay mayayanig sa kaarawan ng iyong pagbagsak; oo, ang mga pulo na nangasa dagat ay manganglulupaypay sa iyong pagyaon.

19 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Pagka ikaw ay aking gagawing sirang bayan, na parang mga bayan na hindi tinatahanan, pagka tatabunan kita ng kalaliman, at tatakpan ka ng maraming tubig;

20 Ibababa nga kita na kasama nila na bumababa sa hukay, sa mga tao nang una, at patatahanin kita sa mga malalim na bahagi ng lupa, sa mga dakong sira nang una, na kasama ng nagsibaba sa hukay, upang ikaw ay huwag tahanan; at ako'y maglalagay ng kaluwalhatian sa lupain ng buhay.

21 Gagawin kitang kakilakilabot, at hindi ka na mabubuhay: bagaman ikaw ay hanapin ay hindi ka na masusumpungan pa uli, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

Apocalypse Revealed#285

学习本章节

285. We are told they "will reign upon the earth" because the earth here and elsewhere means the Lord's church in heaven and on earth. The church in both worlds is the Lord's kingdom. Therefore, lest anyone suppose that people who are redeemed by the Lord all become kings and priests who will reign upon the earth, it is important that we demonstrate from the Word that the earth or land symbolizes the church. This can be seen from the following passages:

Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes (the earth) waste, and will overturn its surface... The land shall be entirely emptied... The (habitable) earth will mourn and... be turned upside down... The earth will be profaned under its inhabitants... Therefore a curse shall devour the earth... and... the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men will be left... ...in the midst of the land... it shall be like the stripping of an olive tree... ...the cataracts on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth are shaken. The earth is violently broken, the earth is utterly split open, the earth is shaken exceedingly. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard... (Isaiah 24:1-23.)

[2] The lion has come up from his thicket... to make your land desolate... I beheld the earth (when) lo, it was empty and void... ...Jehovah has said, "The whole land shall be desolate... For this shall the earth mourn... (Jeremiah 4:7, 23-28)

How long will the land mourn...? The whole land is made desolate, because no one lays it to heart. (Jeremiah 12:4, 11-13)

The earth mourns and languishes, Lebanon is shamed and withered away. (Isaiah 33:9)

Its land shall become burning pitch...(and) it shall lie waste. (Isaiah 34:9-10)

...I have heard from the Lord... a destruction decreed upon the whole earth. (Isaiah 28:22)

Behold, the day of Jehovah comes... to lay the land desolate..., and the earth will be shaken out of its place... (Isaiah 13:9-13)

The earth shook and trembled, and the foundations of the mountains quaked... (Psalms 18:7)

...we will not fear when the earth is transformed... When He uttered His voice, the earth melted. (Psalms 46:2-3, 6, 8)

Have you not understood the foundations of the earth? (Isaiah 40:21)

O God, You have forsaken us... You have made the earth tremble...; heal its breaches, for it is shaken. (Psalms 60:1-2)

[3] The earth and all its inhabitants will melt away; I will firm up its pillars. (Psalms 75:3)

Woe to a land overshadowed by wings... Go, ...messengers, to... a nation... trodden down, whose land rivers have despoiled. (Isaiah 18:1-2)

By the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts the land is darkened... (Isaiah 9:19)

...you will be a delightful land... (Malachi 3:12)

...I have given You as a covenant of the people to restore the earth... Sing, O heavens! And exult, O earth! (Isaiah 49:8, 13)

I shall not see Yah... in the land of the living. (Isaiah 38:11)

...who caused terror in the land of the living. (Ezekiel 32:23-27)

I would not have believed I would see the goodness... in the land of life. (Psalms 27:13)

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)

I am Jehovah, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens alone, who spreads out the earth by Myself. (Isaiah 44,24, cf. Zechariah 12:1, Jeremiah 10:11-13; 51:15, Psalm. 136:6)

Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation... ...thus said Jehovah, who created the heavens..., who formed the earth... (Isaiah 45:8, 12, 18-19)

...behold, I create new heavens and a new earth... (Isaiah 65:17, cf. 66:22)

And in many other places as well, which, if I were to cite them, would fill a page.

[4] The earth or land symbolizes the church for the reason that it very often means the land of Canaan, which is where the church was. That is the heavenly Canaan. Moreover, when the earth or land is mentioned, angels, being spiritual, do not think of the earth or land, but of the human race dwelling upon it and its spiritual state; and its spiritual state is the state of the church.

The earth or land also has an opposite meaning, and in that sense it symbolizes damnation, since when the church is not present in a person, damnation is. The earth or land is mentioned in that sense in Isaiah 14:12; 21:9; 26:19, 21; 29:4; 47:1; 63:6, Lamentations 2:2, 10, Ezekiel 26:20; 32:24, Numbers 16:29-33; 26:10, and elsewhere.

Isaiah第24章

学习

   

1 Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.

2 It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.

3 The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word.

4 The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.

5 The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

7 The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.

8 The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.

9 They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.

10 The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.

12 The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

13 For it will be so in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.

14 These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.

15 Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!

16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, "I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!" The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

17 Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabitant the earth.

18 It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

19 The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.

20 The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.

21 It shall happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.

22 They shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders will be glory.
