以西结书 41

Studie

   

1 我到殿那里量墙柱:这面厚肘,那面厚肘,宽窄与会幕相同。

2 口宽肘。两旁,这边五肘,那边五肘。他量殿长四十肘,宽二十肘。

3 他到内殿量墙柱,各厚肘。口宽肘,两旁各宽肘。

4 他量内殿,长二十肘,宽二十肘。他对我:这是至所。

5 他又量殿,厚肘;围着殿有旁,各宽肘。

6 层,层叠而上,每层排列三十间。旁的梁木搁在殿坎上,免得插入殿

7 这围殿的旁越高越宽;因旁围殿悬叠而上,所以越上越宽,从下一层,由中一层,到上一层。

8 我又见围着殿有站台。旁根基足一竿,就是大肘。

9 的外厚五肘。旁之外还有馀地。

10 在旁与对面的房屋中间有空地,宽二十肘。

11 旁屋的都向馀地:向北向南。周围的馀地宽五肘。

12 在西面空地之後有房子,宽七十肘,长九十肘,四围厚五肘。

13 这样,他量殿,长一肘,又量空地和那房子并墙,共长一肘。

14 殿的前面和两旁的空地,宽一肘。

15 他量空地面的那房子,并两旁的楼廊,共长一肘。

16 内殿、院廊、门槛、严紧的窗棂,并对着门槛的层楼廊,从到窗棂(窗棂都有蔽子),

17 直到以上,就是到内殿和外殿内外四围,都按尺寸用木板遮蔽。

18 墙上雕刻基路伯和棕树。每基路伯中间有一棵棕树,每基路伯脸。

19 这边有人脸向着棕树,那边有狮子脸向着棕树,殿内周围都是如此。

20 以上,都有基路伯和棕树。殿就是这样。

21 殿的门柱是方的。至所的前面,形状和殿的形状一样。

22 头做的,肘,长肘。角和面,并四旁,头做的。他对我:这是耶和华面前的桌子

23 殿和至所的各有两扇。

24 每扇分两扇,这两扇是摺叠的。这边分两扇,那边也分两扇。

25 殿的扇上雕刻基路伯和棕,与刻在墙上的一般。在外头廊前有槛。

26 廊这边那边都有严紧的窗棂和棕树;殿的旁和槛就是这样。

   

Komentář

 

Ten

  

In most places in the Word, "ten" represents "all," or in some cases "many" or "much." The Ten Commandments represent all the guidance we get from the Lord in life; the ten horns on the beast of Revelation represent all power of falsity; the ten virgins with lamps in Matthew 25 represent all people of the church.

Yet in other places, ten, or especially a "tenth," signifies representing remnants, or tiny scraps of goodness preserved for the future. These can be the remnants of a church -- a few good people that can be built up into a new church. Or they can be tiny subconscious memories of love and joy which the Lord stores in each of us in early childhood, feelings He can use later to draw us toward a life of goodness and affection.

These two meanings seem nearly opposite, but they're actually not. Love is whole and indivisible, so that the tiniest feeling buried inside someone contains all the elements of the love it can become. In a similar way, a remnant of a church that has preserved that church's knowledge has everything it needs to grow into a new church. In a sense, then, those remnants are indeed "all," they're just a version of "all" that is still in a state of potential.
