The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 135
135. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 12
Vastation of the church, and fulfillment of the prophecy. (3)
1-2 They are opposed to the Lord and the Word. (3)
3-12 It is represented that the church has departed from them, through the falsification of the Word in respect to the sense of the letter, until there is no longer any church. (3)
13 They have destroyed the chief truths by reasonings from the natural man, (3)
14-16 and consequently the remaining truths, so that there is little left. (3)
17-20 It is not known what good and truth are. (3)
21-25 The Coming of the Lord will not be delayed. (1)
26-28 It is vain for them to say that the prophecies of the Word concerning the Lord will be fulfilled after a long time. (2, 1)
Ezekiel 12:21-25
21
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
22
Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
23
Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but Tell them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24
For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25
For I am Yahweh; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, says the Lord Yahweh.
