以西结书 2

Studie

   

1 他对我:人子啊,你站起来,我要和你说话

2 他对我说话的时候,灵就进入我里面,使我站起,我便见那位对我说话的声音。

3 他对我:人子啊,我差你往悖逆的国民以色列人那里去。他们是悖逆我的,他们和他们的列祖违背我,直到今日。

4 这众子面无羞耻,里刚硬。我差你往他们那里去,你要对他们耶和华如此

5 他们或,或不,(他们是悖逆之家),必知道在他们中间有了先知

6 人子啊,虽有荆棘和蒺藜在你那里,你又在蝎子中间,总不要他们,也不要他们的;他们虽是悖逆之,还不要他们的,也不要因他们的脸色惊惶。

7 他们或,或不,你只管将我的告诉他们;他们是极其悖逆的。

8 人子啊,要我对你所的话,不要悖逆像那悖逆之家,你要开我所赐你的。

9 我观,见有一只向我伸出来,中有一卷。

10 他将书卷在我面前展开,内外都着字,其上所的有哀号、叹息、悲痛的话。

1. NINE QUESTIONS ON THE TRINITY AND RELATED TOPICS PROPOSED BY THOMAS HARTLEY TO EMANUEL SWEDENBORG WITH HIS ANSWERS

QUESTION 1.

In what sense did the Lord call Himself the Son of Man, if He took only the flesh from the mother and not the rational soul? Does Human Sonship refer only to human flesh?

ANSWER

The Lord called Himself the Son of Man, because He was the Word or Divine Truth as to the Human too; for in the spiritual sense 'Son or Man' means the truth of the church from the Word. The same was meant by 'prophet', because the prophets taught truths from the Word. Therefore the Lord, Who was in the supreme degree a prophet as well as the Word and consequently Divine Truth, called Himself as to the Human, the Son of Man. This is why it is often said in the prophets and in David, in treating of the destruction of truth in the church that the Son of Man dwells there no more. This is also why the prophets themselves were called sons of man, as in Ezekiel 2:3, 6, 8; 3:3-4, 10, 17, 25, and frequently in the following chapters; likewise in Daniel. This has been shown from many passages in ANGELIC WISDOM CONCERNING THE LORD, which you should consult if available.
