Что это значит: Бог послал Свое Слово и исцелил их?? He sent His Word and healed them is often quoted and used for the healing of sickness. But does Psalm 107:20 only refers to physical healing or does it refer to more than that?
The fools, who were afflicted because of their transgression and iniquities
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent His word, и исцелил их, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the Lordfor his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing (Псалмы 107:17-22)
Псалом 107:17-22 is about fools, who are afflicted because of their transgression (грех) and their iniquities. Who are fools? Fools are those, who don’t have a fear for God and turn against God and His Word and keep walking in sins and iniquities and therefore are sinners, или другими словами, злой. The wicked have the ability to repent and turn from their wicked ways, but they don’t want to because they love doing the works of the flesh (грех).
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid Me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. I create the fruit of the lips; Мир, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, говорит Господь; and I will heal him.
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked (Исайя 57:17-21)
The fools aka the wicked live under the authority of the devil in the oppression of the death and are tormented in their soul. They have no peace in their heart, but live in fear and are on their way to eternal death.
They are always looking for ways and methods to get rid of the torment in their souls and their fears and experience rest and peace in their lives
But this peace, which is obtained with the use of (natural) technics and methods is only temporary and shall not be able to redeem man from their fears and deliver them from death.
God sent His word through His prophets
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, Говоря, Go unto this people, и скажи, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear It (Действия 28:25-28, see also Isaiah 6:9-10, Мэтью 13:13-15, Джон 12:39-41)
В Ветхом Завете, God sent His word many times by His prophets, to turn the fools aka the wicked from their wicked ways and restore them (heal them) with God.
Много раз, God called His people to repent from their vain walk that caused apostasy and led to oppression, bondage, and captivity. But the people were rebellious and stubborn and didn’t listen to the words of God and didn’t obey His words, but rejected the words of God and trusted their own insight.
God healed His people and the land, when the people repented
Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up. After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord (Осия 6:1-3)
But every time the people called on God in their trouble and repented and turned to God, God heard the cry of His people and sent His word and healed them.
God sent His saviours to deliver His people from the hand of their enemies and to save them from their trouble, affliction, and/or captivity and restore (лечить) the land or deliver the people and led them back to their land. And so God healed His people and the land (Ой. 2 Хроники 15, Nehemia 9:26-31).
What does the word ‘râphâ’ mean?
The word ‘‘râphâ’ (H7495) means a.o., выздоровление, recover, make whole, repair, врачи.
The word ‘healing’ refers to many more things than just the sickness of the human body.
God healed (and still heals) много людей, who were sick, but God healed (and still heals) so much more by His word. God healed through His word that was spoken by His prophets, the water, the land, душа, His people (congregation), the wicked sinful state (нечистота) of His people, и т. д.. (Ой. 2 Короли 2:21-22, 2 Хроники 7:14; 30:170-20, Псалмы 41:4, Исайя 6:9-10;19:22; 57:18-19, Иеремия 3:22, Иезекииль 47:8, Осия 6:1; 7:1.
God sent His Word and healed them
яn the beginning was the Word, и Слово было у Бога, и Слово было Бог. То же было вначале с Богом. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; и жизнь была светом людей. And the light shineth in darkness; и тьма не объяла его.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, им дал власть стать сынами Божиими, даже тем, кто верует во имя Его: Которые родились, не крови, ни от воли плоти, ни по воле человека, но от Бога.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (Джон 1:1-14)
В конце концов, God sent His Word to heal (восстановить) the separation between God and man and the position of fallen man, whereby the promise of God was fulfilled to restore (лечить) mankind and make them whole, and return the dominion that God originally had given to man when He created them, to the (новый) мужчина (Ой. Бытие 3:15, Иезекииль 11:19-20; 36:25-29 (Читайте также: ‘Мир, который Иисус восстановил между падшим человеком и Богом‘ и ‘Иисус восстановил положение падшего человека').
Иисус заплакал и сказал, Тот, кто верит в Меня, не верь Мне, но на Пославшего Меня. И видящий Меня видит Пославшего Меня. Я пришел светом в мир, чтобы всякий верующий в Меня не оставался во тьме. И если кто услышит Мои слова, и не верь, я его не осуждаю: ибо Я пришел не судить мир, но спасти мир. Тот, кто отвергает Меня, и не принимает слов Моих, есть ли тот, кто судит его: слово, которое я произнес, тот же будет судить его в последний день. Ибо Я говорил не о Себе; но Отец, пославший Меня, Он дал Мне заповедь, что я должен сказать, и что мне следует говорить. И я знаю, что Его заповедь – жизнь вечная: что бы я ни говорил, поэтому, как сказал Мне Отец, так что я говорю (Джон 12:44-50)
God sent His Son Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God and Saviour of mankind, to the earth to deliver mankind from destruction.
Jesus came to deliver mankind from the power of the devil (oppressor, afflicter) грех, беззаконие, and death and save mankind from hell (Аид), and heal fallen man, или другими словами, to restore the righteous state and position of fallen man and reconcile man back to God.
A person can only be saved from eternal destruction and escape hell (Аид) if a person believes the Word and repent and is delivered by Jesus Christ; the Word and is restored (исцелённый) from his fallen state and be made whole , and by the blood of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, is reconciled with God.
Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and called the people to repentance. Jesus came first for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and healed all, who were oppressed by the devil, by preaching the Kingdom of God, calling the people to repentance, forgiving their sins, healing the sick, casting out demons, и т. д.. (Ой. Мэтью 9:12-13; 15:24, Люк 4:18-19; 5:32, Действия 10:38-39)
Через Иисуса Христа, the Word and Saviour, and His redemptive work man is healed
And finally, Jesus finished the perfect work of redemption for mankind, by taking the place of fallen man on the cross.
Jesus carried the sins of the world, which the Father had laid upon Him, and because of that Jesus entered hell (Аид), where Jesus conquered the death and rose as a Victor from the dead with the keys of hell and death (Читайте также ‘Распятие души', ‘Распятие плоти‘ и ‘Истинное значение креста').
Jesus had finished the redemptive work and gave, and still gives, to everyone the ability to be delivered from the power of the devil and sin and death, by faith and regeneration in Him; the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus restored man, или другими словами, Jesus healed man completely; дух, душа, и тело. God restored His breath of life in the new man through His Holy Spirit.
The new man is born of God and is healed (made whole) in Jesus Christ and is delivered from the power of the devil and sin and death and saved from eternal destruction!
And so God sent His Word and healed them.
