以西结书 15

Studie

   

1 耶和华的临到我说:

2 人子啊,葡萄比别样有甚麽强处?葡萄枝比众枝有甚麽好处?

3 其上可以取料做甚麽工用,可以取来做钉子甚麽器皿麽?

4 看哪,已经抛在中当作柴烧,既烧了两头,中间也被烧了,还有益於工用麽?

5 完全的时候尚且不合乎甚麽工用,何况被烧坏,还能合乎甚麽工用麽?

6 所以,耶和华如此:众以内的葡萄,我怎样使他在中当柴,也必照样待耶路撒冷居民

7 我必向他们变脸;他们虽从中出来,却要烧灭他们。我向他们变脸的时候,你们就知道我是耶和华

8 我必使土荒凉,因为他们行事干犯我。这是耶和华的。

1475. 'Say, now, you are my sister' means intellectual truth, which is 'a sister'. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'sister' as intellectual truth when celestial truth is meant by 'wife', which meaning of 'sister' is shown further on. The implications here are as follows: Knowledge is of such a nature that it desires nothing more than to introduce itself into celestial things and examine them. But this is contrary to order, for if knowledge is used in this way it does violence to celestial things. The proper order is for the celestial to introduce itself by way of the spiritual into the rational and in this manner into factual knowledge, and to adapt this to itself. Unless this order is kept no wisdom can possibly exist. Also contained in the present section there are arcana as to how the Lord was taught by His Father according to order in its completeness, and so how His External Man was joined to His Internal - that is, how His external Man was made Divine, even as His Internal Man was essentially Divine, and so how He became Jehovah as regards both Essences. This was accomplished by means of cognitions, which are the means. Without cognitions as means the external man cannot indeed become truly man.
