学习

   

1 Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating uli sa akin, na nagsasabi:

2 At ikaw, anak ng tao, panaghuyan mo ang Tiro;

3 At sabihin mo sa Tiro, Oh ikaw na tumatahan sa pasukan sa dagat, na ikaw ang mangangalakal sa mga bansa sa maraming pulo, ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Ikaw, Oh Tiro, nagsabi, Ako'y sakdal sa kagandahan.

4 Ang iyong mga hangganan ay nangasa kalaliman ng mga dagat, ang nagsipagtayo sa iyo ay nangagpasakdal ng iyong kagandahan.

5 Ang ginawa nilang makakapal mong tabla ay mga puno ng abeto na mula sa Senir: sila'y nagsikuha ng cedro mula sa Libano, upang gawing palo ng sasakyan mo.

6 Ginawa nilang iyong mga saguwan ang mga encina sa Basan; ang kanilang ginawang mga bangko mong garing na nalalapat sa kahoy na boj ay mula sa mga pulo ng Chittim.

7 Manipis na kayong lino na yaring may burda na mula sa Egipto ang iyong layag, upang maging sa iyo'y isang watawat; kulay asul at morado na mula sa mga pulo ng Elisah ang iyong kulandong.

8 Ang mga nananahan sa Sidon at Arvad ay iyong mga mananaguwan: ang iyong mga pantas, Oh Tiro, ay nangasa iyo, sila ang iyong mga tagaugit.

9 Ang mga matanda sa Gebal at ang mga pantas niyao'y pawang tagapagpasak mo: ang lahat na sasakyan sa dagat sangpu ng mga tao ng mga yaon ay nangasa iyo upang pangasiwaan ang iyong kalakal.

10 Ang Persia, ang Lud, at ang Phut ay nangasa iyong hukbo, na iyong mga lalaking mangdidigma: kanilang ibinitin ang kalasag at ang turbante sa iyo; nagpapaganda sa iyo.

11 Ang mga lalake sa Arvad na kasama ng iyong hukbo ay nangasa ibabaw ng iyong mga kuta sa palibot, at ang mga matatapang ay nasa iyong mga moog; kanilang isinabit ang kanilang mga kalasag sa iyong mga kuta sa palibot; kanilang pinasakdal ang iyong kagandahan.

12 Ang Tarsis ay iyong mangangalakal dahil sa karamihan ng sarisaring kayamanan; na ang pilak, bakal, lata, at tingga, ay ipinapalit nila sa iyong mga kalakal.

13 Ang Javan, ang Tubal, at ang Mesec, mga mangangalakal mo: kanilang kinakalakal ang mga tao at ang mga sisidlang tanso na ipinapalit nila sa iyong mga kalakal.

14 Ang sangbahayan ni Togarma ay nakikipagpalitan sa iyong mga kalakal ng mga kabayo at ng mga kabayong pangdigma at ng mga mula.

15 Ang mga tao sa Dedan ay iyong mangangalakal: maraming pulo ay nangagdadala ng kalakal sa iyong kamay: kanilang dinadala sa iyo na pinakapalit ay mga sungay na garing at ebano.

16 Naging mangangalakal mo ang Siria dahil sa karamihan ng iyong mga gawang kamay: sila'y nakikipagpalitan sa iyong mga kalakal ng mga esmeralda, kulay ube, at yaring may burda, at manipis na kayong lino, at gasang at mga rubi.

17 Naging mga mangangalakal mo ang Juda, at ang lupain ng Israel: sila'y nakikipagpalitan sa iyong mga kalakal ng trigo ng Minith, at ng pannag, at ng pulot, at ng langis, at ng balsamo.

18 Mangangalakal mo ang Damasko dahil sa karamihan ng iyong mga gawang kamay, dahil sa karamihan ng sarisaring kayamanan, sangpu ng alak sa Helbon, at maputing lana.

19 Nakikipagpalitan ang Vedan at Javan sa iyong mga kalakal ng sinulid na lana: ang makinang na bakal, ang kasia, at ang kalamo, ay ilan sa iyong mga kalakal.

20 Naging iyong mangangalakal ang Dedan sa mga mahalagang kayo na ukol sa pangangabayo.

21 Ang Arabia, at lahat na prinsipe sa Cedar, mga naging mangangalakal ng iyong kamay; sa mga cordero, at mga lalaking tupa, at mga kambing, sa mga ito'y naging mga mangangalakal mo sila.

22 Ang mga mangangalakal sa Seba at sa Raama, mga naging mangangalakal mo; kanilang ipinapalit sa iyong mga kalakal ang mga pinakamainam na especia, at lahat na mahalagang bato, at ang ginto.

23 Ang Haran at ang Canneh at ang Eden, na mga mangangalakal sa Seba, ang Assur at ang Chilmad ay naging mga mangangalakal mo.

24 Ang mga ito ang iyong mga mangangalakal sa mga piling kalakal sa mga balutan ng mga yaring asul at may burda, at sa mga baul na may mainam na hiyas, natatalian ng mga sintas, at yaring cedro, na ilan sa iyong mga kalakal.

25 Ang mga sasakyan sa Tarsis ay iyong mga pulutong sa iyong kalakal: at ikaw ay napuno at naging totoong maluwalhati sa kalagitnaan ng mga dagat.

26 Dinala ka ng iyong mga manggagaod sa malawak na dagat: binagbag ka ng hanging silanganan sa kalagitnaan ng dagat.

27 Ang iyong kayamanan, at ang iyong mga kalakal, ang iyong tinda, at ang iyong mga manggagaod, at ang iyong mga tagaugit, ang iyong mga tagapagpasak, at ang nagsisipamahala ng iyong mga kalakal, at ang lahat mong lalaking mangdidigma na nangasa iyo, sangpu ng iyong lahat na pulutong na nangasa gitna mo, mangalulubog sa kalagitnaan ng dagat sa kaarawan ng iyong pagkasira.

28 Sa lakas ng hiyaw ng iyong mga tagaugit, ang mga nayon ay mangayayanig.

29 At lahat na nagsisihawak ng gaod, ang mga tao sa sasakyan, at lahat ng tagaugit sa dagat, ay magsisibaba sa kanilang mga sasakyan; sila'y magsisitayo sa ibabaw ng lupain,

30 At iparirinig ang kanilang tinig sa iyo, at hihiyaw ng kalagimlagim, at mangagbubuhos ng alabok sa kanilang mga ulo, sila'y magsisigumon sa mga abo:

31 At mangagpapakakalbo dahil sa iyo, at mangagbibigkis ng kayong magaspang, at kanilang iiyakan ka ng kapanglawpanglaw sa kalooban, na may mapanglaw na pananangis.

32 At sa kanilang pagtangis ay pananaghuyan ka nila, at tatangisan ka, na sasabihin, Sino ang gaya ng Tiro na gaya niya na nadala sa katahimikan sa gitna ng dagat?

33 Pagka ang iyong mga kalakal ay inilalabas sa mga dagat, iyong binubusog ang maraming bayan; iyong pinayaman ang mga hari sa lupa ng karamihan ng iyong mga kayamanan at ng iyong mga kalakal.

34 Sa panahon na ikaw ay bagbag sa tabi ng mga dagat sa kalaliman ng tubig, ang iyong kalakal at ang iyong buong pulutong ay lumubog sa gitna mo.

35 Lahat ng mananahan sa mga pulo ay nangatitigilan dahil sa iyo, at ang kanilang mga hari ay nangatakot ng di kawasa, sila'y nangamanglaw sa kanilang mukha.

36 Pinagsutsutan ka ng mga mangangalakal sa gitna ng mga bayan; ikaw ay naging kakilakilabot, at hindi ka na mabubuhay pa.

Apocalypse Explained#356

学习本章节

  
/1232  
  

356. And he that sat on him had a bow. That this signifies the doctrine of charity and faith thence, from which evils and falsities are fought against and dispersed, is clear from the signification of one sitting on a white horse, as denoting the Word (of which we have treated just above); and from the signification of a bow as denoting the doctrine of charity and faith, from which evils and falsities are combated and dispersed. That by a bow is signified that doctrine, will be seen in what follows. Here something shall first be said concerning doctrine:

1. That no one can understand the Word without doctrine;

2. That no one can fight against evils and falsities, and dissipate them, without doctrine from the Word;

3. That no one within the church where the Word is can become spiritual without doctrine from the Word;

4. That doctrine cannot be procured from any other source than from the Word, and by no others but those who are in enlightenment from the Lord;

5. That all things of doctrine are to be confirmed by the sense of the letter of the Word.

1. That no one can understand the Word without doctrine, is evident from this fact, that the sense of its letter consists of pure correspondences, which contain in themselves spiritual things, thus it consists of such things as are in the world and partake of its nature. Hence it is that the sense of the letter is natural and not spiritual, accommodated, nevertheless, to the apprehension of the simple who do not elevate their ideas above such things as they see before their eyes. For this reason it also contains things that do not appear to be spiritual, although the whole Word inwardly is purely spiritual, because it is Divine. On this account there are many things in the sense of the letter which can serve for no doctrine of the church at this day, and many things which can be applied to various and diverse principles, whence, heresies; but still there are many things intermingled, from which doctrine may be gathered and formulated, especially the doctrine of life, which is the doctrine of charity, and of faith thence. But he who reads the Word from doctrine, sees there all things that are confirmatory, and also many things which lie hidden from the eyes of others; nor does he suffer himself to be drawn away into strange doctrines by those things therein that do not appear to agree, and which he does not understand; for everything of doctrine that he sees therein [appears] to him in clearness, and the rest are obscure to him. Therefore doctrine, which consists of genuine truths, is like a lamp to those who read the Word; and, on the other hand, the Word, to those who read it without doctrine, is like a candlestick without a light, put in an obscure place, by which nothing conducing to salvation can be there seen, known, sought for, and found. Such persons, besides, may be led away into error of every kind, to which the mind inclines from some love, or is drawn from some principle. Hence it is evident that no one can understand the Word without doctrine.

[2] 2. No one can fight against evils and falsities, and disperse them, without doctrine from the Word.

This is evident from this fact, that from doctrine truths can be seen in their own light, and in their proper order, but not from the Word without doctrine, which is manifest from what has just been said; and if truths cannot be seen, neither can falsities and evils be seen, for the latter are opposed to the former; and yet all combat against evils and falsities is from truths, that is, by means of truths from the Lord. Therefore he who reads the Word without doctrine, may easily fight for falsity against truth, and for evil against good, by confirming those things by a wrong interpretation and application of the sense of the letter of the Word; hence it follows that the man is not reformed; for he is reformed by the dispersion of evils and of the falsities thence, by truths applied to the life. This now is what is meant by the white horse which was seen, and by him that sat on him, who had a bow; for by a white horse is signified the understanding of truth from the Word, and by the bow is signified the doctrine of charity and of the faith thence, from which evils and falsities are fought against and dispersed.

[3] 3. No one within the church where the Word is, can become spiritual without doctrine from the Word.

This is evident from what has now been said, namely, that the Word without doctrine is not understood, and that without doctrine from the Word no one can fight against evils and falsities; for man becomes spiritual by a life according to Divine truths (these he does not know without doctrine) and by the removal of evils and falsities, which is not effected without doctrine, as said above; without these two man is not reformed, thus does not become spiritual, but remains natural, and confirms his natural life by the sense of the letter of the Word, which is natural, by wrongly interpreting and applying it. It is said, "within the church where the Word is," because those who are out of the church have not the Word, and hence know nothing concerning the Lord; and no one becomes spiritual except from the Lord. But still all those who acknowledge a God, and worship Him under the human form, and live in charity according to a religious persuasion agreeing with the Word, are prepared by the Lord to receive spiritual life, which also they do receive in the other life (concerning which circumstance see the work concerning Heaven and Hell 318-328; and above, n. 107, 195). Man becomes spiritual by regeneration, and regeneration is effected by water and the spirit, that is, by truths and by a life according to them (as may be seen in the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 173-186; that baptism in the Christian world is for a sign and memorial thereof, n. 202-209, in the same work).

[4] 4. Doctrine can be procured from no other source but the Word, and by none but those who are enlightened by the Lord.

This is evident from this consideration, that the Word is Divine truth itself, and of such a quality that the Lord is in it, for the Lord is in His own Divine truth which proceeds from Him; therefore those who form doctrine from any other source than the Word, do not form it from the Divine truth nor from the Lord. Moreover, in every particular of the Word there is a spiritual sense, in which sense the angels of heaven are, whence there is conjunction of heaven with the church by means of the Word; therefore those who form doctrine from any other source than from the Word, do not form it in conjunction with heaven, whence nevertheless, all enlightenment comes. (That the conjunction of heaven with man is by the Word, may be seen in the work concerning Heaven and Hell 303-310.) Hence it is evident that doctrine is to be procured from no other source but the Word, and by none but those who are enlightened by the Lord. Those are enlightened by the Lord who love truths because they are truths; these, because they do them, are in the Lord and the Lord in them.

[5] 5. All things of doctrine are to be confirmed by the sense of the letter of the Word.

This is evident from this consideration, that the Divine truth is in the sense of the letter in its fulness, for that is the final sense, and in it is the spiritual sense; therefore, when doctrine is confirmed thence, the doctrine of the church is also the doctrine of heaven, and there is conjunction by the correspondences. This may be illustrated by this consideration alone: When man thinks any truth, and confirms it by the sense of the letter, it is perceived in heaven, but not if he does not confirm it; for the sense of the letter is the basis into which the spiritual ideas that the angels possess terminate, nearly in the same manner as expressions are the basis into which the sense of the thought falls and is communicated to another. That this is the case might be confirmed by much experience from the spiritual world; but this is not the place to adduce it.
