The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 153
153. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 30
1-5 The Coming of the Lord when all things of the church have been destroyed by knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man. (1, 3, 2)
6-9 Then all who trust in these knowledges will perish through evil loves. (3, 3)
10-12 By such the truths of the church will be destroyed through reasonings from the natural man, derived from falsities, even until there is nothing left but falsities. (3)
13-19 All things which are of the knowledge [scientia] of the natural man, of every sort, will become hell. (3, 15)
20-23 They will have no truth, thus no power. (3)
24-26 This will take place through reasonings from the natural man. (3)
Ezekiel 30:6-9
6
Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the LORD GOD.
7
And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
8
And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
9
In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
