Нравственные размышления на Книгу Иова.Толкование на группу стихов: Ис: 27: 1-1
After these things have been accomplished, then one will be able to say: “The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” For this reason, at the conclusion of everything and after all else, the Word affirms: On that day, that is, during that time, God will bring his holy and great and strong dagger. But instead of holy, all the other Greek translations say hard. Therefore, he will deal out this judgment from afar and let loose against no one else, but he will bring it on this one only, for whom also it was reserved in proportion to his evil. And who else could this be but the one who in the beginning supplanted the first man in the paradise of God and caused him to fall from his position before God? This was the one who was aptly called the crooked snake and the dragon, since he was dragged down to the earth and slithers about and lurks at people’s feet, hoping to bite someone and drive his toxic venom into him and thus to cause him to fall from his upright journey that leads to God. Therefore, indeed, the rod of God is straight and is used for instruction, as we read: “Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity.” It has been reserved for those who have committed curable sins, and it was brought on them for their instruction and betterment and for the profit of their soul. But the one who never did anything upright or straight but was always completely and continually bent and crooked lies on his abdomen on the earth and crawls on his belly, lurking around the feet of all in order to supplant them and cause them to fall after the ungodly. He will be delivered over to a hard and great and strong dagger, for the great judge has dealt out a sentence only for him. And what could this dagger be—which the Septuagint said was holy and great and strong—except “the word of God, which is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.”
Here he calls the action of judgment a dagger, but he also says that it is holy. He consoles them in their fear of the threatened judgment, and at the same time he points out that those who are punished will not be subjected to destruction and that the reason for their holiness is that they repented. For God does not wish to destroy those he chastises, but to cleanse and to sanctify those whom he reforms. But then, when he attacks his rival and opponent, the dragon that has had so many victories against him, he will kill him. And he will remove his very being from the realm of what exists, so that he will no longer be, nor will he be counted among what exists. It is for this reason that he was not even deemed worthy of the wrath of God. For this wrath was instructive and reformatory, as he teaches when he avers: “O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor chasten me in your wrath.” This is spoken on the one hand about an anger that possesses a reproving power and, on the other hand, about a wrath that has an instructive power. Therefore, he pursued those who have committed sins that are lesser in degree and brought reproaches on them and chastened them, but the dragon was worthy of neither reproaches nor training but only of absolute annihilation. Because of this, God will first bring his holy 173 and great and strong dagger against him. And the one who sees the dagger will surrender himself in flight, but he will do this thoughtlessly and frantically, since it is rightly said: “Where can I go from your Spirit, and where can I flee from your presence?” But, except he endeavor to flee, the holy and great and strong dagger of God will apprehend him and kill this crooked one and will take away all his essence from existence. And just as one flees away into the innermost room of the house in order to hide himself, so he attempted to do so in that which was called the sea. Concerning this sea it has been said: “This great and wide sea; there are creeping things without number, living things small and great,” and “this is the dragon that you formed to play in it.” And in Job, the one who identifies himself as the Lord taught about this when he said: “And will you draw out a dragon with a fish hook, and put a halter around its nose? Or will you fasten a ring in its nostril?”
Concerning these things, he adds: “He is the first of the Lord’s creation, made to be mocked by his angels,” and again he says: “He is king over everything that lives in the water.” And in these things, the Word teaches that he is released on all sides because he has given up his life “to be mocked by the saints of God,” who are exercised in battling with him, at one time casting “fishhooks” around him, and at another time fettering him by “putting a halter around his nose” and at another time piercing him with a “ring.” This is why it has been said: “Made to be mocked by his angels.” But after this hunt and contest, he confronted the athletes of God, and those who train exhibited a proof of their own prowess against him and through their contest with him. And the “dragon” himself continued to be “mocked” when the contest had come to an end, and “the righteous judgment of God” then presented rewards to those who contended until the consummation of the universe.
After the judgment against the ungodly, God will bring his holy and great and strong dagger against the dragon, a fleeing snake, against the dragon, a crooked snake. But according to Symmachus, the text reads: Against Leviathan, the crooked snake, and in that day he will slay the dragon in the sea; and Aquila says: On Leviathan, a snake who has become dried out and dispersed, and in that day he will slay him with the sea monster in the sea; and Theodotion says: On the dragon, the strong snake, and on the dragon, the crooked snake, and he will slay the dragon in that day in the sea. And the snake and dragon is also called Leviathan, and this name was given to him from the Lord. And this was indeed the “great sea monster,” although we read that the Lord “subdued” him: “He who is about to subdue the great sea monster.” And in this context he is called Leviathan, as well as in the psalm which says: “This is the dragon that you formed to play with it,” 174 for according to the Hebrew text he is called Leviathan. And likewise in the verse in Job which says: “And will you draw out a dragon with a fish hook?” again he is called Leviathan in the Hebrew. In the same way, this many-headed and many-named dragon is at once called a snake and the devil and Satan and a “great sea monster” and Leviathan, and in other contexts also a “lion” and a “serpent.”
In that day—that is, in the time of the consummation of the age—God, the judge of the universe, will kill the dragon with his dagger, and in that day he will deeply wound this one. And in his first coming to humanity, the Christ of God did not assail him as with a dagger, and he did not kill him but rather only stepped on him and trampled his powers. For this reason it has been said to his face: “You will tread on the asp and the serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.” And now, indeed, “he has trampled down” and still even now “he treads down,” for he has given “authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy” to his disciples. And at the indicated time of the consummation after everything, the dagger of God will apprehend the ungodly and seize him who flees, and he will take him away from existence so that he will no longer exist. Here also the Word of God continues to delineate the universal judgment, as he had been doing beginning with the verse: “Look, the Lord is ruining the world and will make it desolate.” Now that the prophecy has brought a conclusion to this theme, it commences a new and different one.
