Amsal 30:4: Perbedaan antara revisi

=== Siapakah yang naik ke sorga lalu turun? ===

Siapa yang telah naik ke sorga, atau turun? Siapa dia yang mempunyai tempat duduk di sorga, dan melakukan pekerjaan di bumi? Siapa dia yang pengetahuan semestanya dapat dirasakan dan dialami? Dimana Sosok misterius ini yang menyembunyikan dirinya dari pengetahuan manusia?<ref name=pulpit/> Kristus telah menyatakannya dalam [[Yohanes 3#Ayat 13|Yohanes 3:13]]. Juga Rasul Paulus menuliskannya dalam [[Efesus 4|Surat Efesus pasal 4:9]].<ref>{{Alkitab|Efesus 4:9}}</ref> Dalam bahasa Alkitab Allah dikatakan telah datang dari sorga untuk menghukum, membantu dan menyatakan kehendak-Nya dan sebagainya ({{Alkitab|Kejadian 11:7; Mazmur 18:9}} dan lain-lain); dan Ia kembali ke sorga setelah intervensinya selesai ({{Alkitab|Kejadian 17:22}}; {{Alkitab|Kejadian 35:13}}).<ref name=pulpit/>

Who hath established all the ends of the earth? Who hath consolidated the foundations, and defined the limits, of the remotest regions of the earth? (comp. Job 38:4, etc.). The answer to these four questions is "Almighty God." He alone can order and control the forces of nature. What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? or, if thou knowest. It is not enough to acknowledge the power and operation and providence of this mysterious Being; Agur longs to know more of his nature, his essence. He must have personality; he is not an abstraction, a force, a quality; he is a Person. What, then, is his name, the name which expresses what he is in himself? Men have different appellations for this Supreme Being, according as they regard one or other of his attributes: is there one name that comprehends all, which gives an adequate account of the incomprehensible Creator? The question cannot be answered affirmatively in this life. "We know that if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is" (1 John 3:2). The further question, "What is his son's name?" has given some difficulty. The LXX. has, "What is the name of his children (τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ)?" as if there was reference to Israel, the special children of God. But the original does not bear out this interpretation, which is also opposed to the idea of the enigma proposed. The inquiry might mean - Are we to apply to the Supreme Being the same notion of natural relationship with which we are familiar in the human family? But this seems a low and unworthy conception. Or the "son" might be primeval man (Job 15:7) or the sage; but the answer would not be satisfactory, and would not tend to solve the great question. There are two replies which can be made to Agur's interrogation. Looking to the marvellous description of Wisdom in Proverbs 8:22, etc., we may consider Wisdom to be a denotation of the Son of God, and the inquirer desires to know the name and nature of this personage, of whose existence he was certified. Or he may have arrived at a knowledge of the only begotten Son of God, as the idea of the Logos is more or less developed in the Book of Wisdom, in Philo's treatises, and in the Alexandrian school; and longs for more perfect knowledge. This, indeed, is hidden: "He hath name written, which no one knoweth but he himself" (Revelation 19:12). It is useless to put such question to a fellow man; no human mind can fathom the nature of the Godhead, or trace out its operations (Ecclus. 18:4, etc.).<ref name=pulpit/>
