346) \u201cBehold, a day of the Lord is coming,\u201d \u201cAnd there shall be one day which shall be known as the Lord’s.\u201d But are the rest of the days not the Lord\u2019s? This teaches that the rest of the days were given to the ministers, and that \u201cday\u201d is not the ministers\u2019, but the Creator\u2019s, to execute judgment on idolaters, since on that day, all the ministers will fall from their degree. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,\u201d since on that day there will be no rank to the ministers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
347) When the Creator passes judgment on the ministers above, it is written, \u201cFor My sword has drunk its fill in heaven.\u201d But does the Creator have a sword? He has a sword, as it is written, \u201cThe sword of the Lord is filled with blood,\u201d and it is written, \u201cBy His sword with all flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
348) That sword is the judgment that He executes, as it is written, \u201cAnd David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord standing between the earth and the heaven, with his sword drawn in his hand.\u201d But was there a drawn sword in the hand of the angel? He was given authority to execute judgment, and that authority is called a \u201csword.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
349) The angel of death said, \u201cIf I did not spare the dignity of people, I would reveal to them the slaughterhouse like a beast.\u201d This means that there is a real sword in the hands of the angel of death, but wherever it writes, \u201csword,\u201d in the upper ones, it means that he was given authority to complete the judgment, not a real sword. And disclosure of the slaughterhouse is that he would reveal the cause of death, the iniquity, which is like a slaughterhouse, the reason for the death of the beast, as it is written, \u201cHaving a drawn sword in his hand,\u201d meaning the authority given to him to execute judgment. Why does it say, \u201cAnd he put his sword back into its sheath\u201d? It means that the judgment was given back to the litigant, and the authority to execute the judgment was returned to the one that the authority is His, to the Creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
