Iz 66, 1-24

1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? 2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. 3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. 5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies. 7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. 12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. 15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. 17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD. 18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. 19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. 20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. 24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Verš 1

Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

1Kr 8:27 - But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

2Krn 6:18 - But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

Sk 7:48 - Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Sk 17:24 - God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Verš 22

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Iz 65:17 - For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

2Pt 3:13 - Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Zjv 21:1 - And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Verš 4

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Prís 1:24 - Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Jer 7:13 - And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

Iz 65:12 - Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Verš 5

Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Iz 5:19 - That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

Verš 12

For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

Iz 60:4 - Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Iz 66,1 - Boh pripomína Izraelitom v zajatí, že stavba nového chrámu, po ktorej túžia, nestačí. Veď on má nádhernejší chrám, než bol chrám jeruzalemský.

Iz 66,3 - Ani bezduchými obetami neurobia zadosť svojim povinnostiam k Bohu. Jemu predsa nemôže byť milá obeta človeka, ktorý síce obetuje vola, ale pritom sa dopúšťa aj vraždy; Bohu obetuje ovcu, ale aj pohanským bôžikom obetuje psa, prináša Pánovi potravinovú obetu, ale súčasne obetuje modlám nečistú bravčovú krv, páli Pánovi tymian, a pritom obetuje aj modlám.

Iz 66,5 - Modlárski Izraeliti sa posmievali nádejam svojich veriacich bratov.

Iz 66,7 - Prorok oznamuje, čo videl vo videní: Sion porodil svoje obyvateľstvo. Proroctvo sa dokonale splnilo na Turíce, po zoslaní Ducha Svätého, keď sa na slová apoštola Petra razom zrodil celý národ, tritisíc duší vstúpilo do Cirkvi. Boh sa zaručuje, že sa tento pôrod uskutoční (porov. 37,3).

Iz 66,14 - Ezechiel (hl. 37) prirovnáva zajatý národ k vyschnutým kostiam. Tieto kosti však znovu "vypučia", ožijú.

Iz 66,17 - Prorok sa obracia zas proti modlárstvu. Osnova je nejasná. Hovorí sa asi o nejakom pohanskom obrade, konanom v záhradách, kde zasvätenci kráčali v sprievode za "kýmsi", asi za nejakým pohanským kňazom, ktorý stál azda uprostred záhrady alebo uprostred zasvätencov. Títo modlári sa očisťovali kvôli pohanským obradom, ale nedbali na čistotu, ktorú predpisoval zákon (porov. 65,4; 66,3; o myšiach Lv 11,29).

Iz 66,19 - Taršiš pozri 2,16. – Národ menom Púl nepoznáme. Pravdepodobne je tu reč o akomsi africkom národe, zvanom Pút, ktorý sa spolu s Lúdom spomína aj na iných miestach Biblie (Jer 46,9; Ez 27,10; 30,5). Lúd boli podľa niektorých maloázijskí Lýdovia, podľa iných to bol tiež nejaký africký kmeň. Tubal bol asi národ, ktorý Gréci volali národom Tibarénov. Bývali juhovýchodne od Čierneho mora. Javan sú Jóni a Gréci vôbec.

Iz 66,21 - Kňazstvo bude v novom Božom kráľovstve prístupné všetkým, ktorých si vyberie Boh.

Iz 66,22 - O novom nebi a novej zemi pozri pozn. k 65,17.

Iz 66,23 - V novej Božej ríši budú ľudia prichádzať do chrámu často, nielen tri razy do roka, ako to bolo v Starom zákone. Tu už je celkom zrejmé, že prorok nemyslí na palestínsky Sion a Jeruzalem, veď by bolo nemožné, aby ľudia z celého sveta putovali mesačne, ba týždenne do Palestíny.

Iz 66,24 - Hriešnikov, keďže sa ani v týchto časoch milosti neobrátia, zastihne hrozný osud; večné zatratenie. Je pozoruhodné, že prorok, ktorého kniha obsahuje toľko utešených proroctiev, končí svoje dielo týmto hrozným pohľadom do večného zatratenia. Ale kniha obsahuje dostatok myšlienok a prisľúbení, ktoré sú zárukou veriacim, že dostanú prisľúbenú odmenu a oslavu v živote večnom.
