Talált 7420 Eredmények: Temple Of The Lord
While they were calling upon the Almighty Lord that he would keep what had been entrusted safe and secure for those who had entrusted it, (2 Maccabees 3, 22)
they praised the Lord who had acted marvelously for his own place. And the temple, which a little while before was full of fear and disturbance, was filled with joy and gladness, now that the Almighty Lord had appeared. (2 Maccabees 3, 30)
While the high priest was making the offering of atonement, the same young men appeared again to Heliodorus dressed in the same clothing, and they stood and said, "Be very grateful to Onias the high priest, since for his sake the Lord has granted you your life. (2 Maccabees 3, 33)
Then Heliodorus offered sacrifice to the Lord and made very great vows to the Savior of his life, and having bidden Onias farewell, he marched off with his forces to the king. (2 Maccabees 3, 35)
But Menelaus, thinking he had obtained a suitable opportunity, stole some of the gold vessels of the temple and gave them to Andronicus; other vessels, as it happened, he had sold to Tyre and the neighboring cities. (2 Maccabees 4, 32)
and inflamed with anger, he immediately stripped off the purple robe from Andronicus, tore off his garments, and led him about the whole city to that very place where he had committed the outrage against Onias, and there he dispatched the bloodthirsty fellow. The Lord thus repaid him with the punishment he deserved. (2 Maccabees 4, 38)
As a result, they wounded many of them, and killed some, and put them all to flight; and the temple robber himself they killed close by the treasury. (2 Maccabees 4, 42)
Not content with this, Antiochus dared to enter the most holy temple in all the world, guided by Menelaus, who had become a traitor both to the laws and to his country. (2 Maccabees 5, 15)
Antiochus was elated in spirit, and did not perceive that the Lord was angered for a little while because of the sins of those who dwelt in the city, and that therefore he was disregarding the holy place. (2 Maccabees 5, 17)
But the Lord did not choose the nation for the sake of the holy place, but the place for the sake of the nation. (2 Maccabees 5, 19)
Therefore the place itself shared in the misfortunes that befell the nation and afterward participated in its benefits; and what was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty was restored again in all its glory when the great Lord became reconciled. (2 Maccabees 5, 20)
So Antiochus carried off eighteen hundred talents from the temple, and hurried away to Antioch, thinking in his arrogance that he could sail on the land and walk on the sea, because his mind was elated. (2 Maccabees 5, 21)
