以西結書 23

Studie

   

1 耶和華的又臨到我說:

2 人子啊,有兩個女子,是母所生,

3 他們在埃及行邪淫,在幼年時行邪淫。他們在那裡作處女的時候,有人擁抱他們的懷,撫摸他們的乳。

4 他們的名字,姊姊名叫阿荷拉,妹妹名叫阿荷利巴。他們都歸於我,生了兒女。論到他們的名字,阿荷拉就是撒瑪利亞,阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷

5 阿荷拉歸我之後行邪淫,貪戀所的人,就是他的鄰邦亞述人。

6 這些人都穿藍衣,作省長、副省長,都,是可愛的少年人。

7 阿荷拉就與亞述人中最美的男子放縱淫行,他因所戀愛之人的一切偶像,玷污自己。

8 自從在埃及的時候,他就沒有離開淫亂,因為他年幼作處女的時候,埃及人與他行淫,撫摸他的乳,縱慾與他行淫。

9 因此,我將他交在他所的人中,就是他所戀的亞述人中。

10 他們就露了他的下體,擄掠他的兒女,用刀殺了他,使他在婦女中留下臭名,因他們向他施行審判。

11 妹妹阿荷利巴雖然見了,卻還貪戀,比他姊姊更醜;行淫亂比他姊姊更多。

12 他貪戀鄰邦的亞述人,就是穿極華美的衣服,的省長、副省長,都是可愛的少年人。

13 見他被玷污了,他姊妹人同行

14 阿荷利巴又加增淫行,因他見人像畫在上,就是用丹色所畫迦勒底人的像,

15 腰間繫著子,上有下垂的裹巾,都是軍長的形狀,仿照巴比倫人的形像;他們的故土就是迦勒底

16 阿荷利巴一看見就貪戀他們,打發使者往迦勒底去見他們。

17 巴比倫人就登他愛情的,與他行淫玷污他。他被玷污,隨後心裡與他們生疏。

18 這樣,他顯露淫行,又顯露下體;我心就與他生疏,像先前與他姊姊生疏一樣。

19 他還加增他的淫行,追念他幼年在埃及行邪淫的日子,

20 貪戀情人身壯精足,如

21 這樣,你就想起你幼年的淫行。那時,埃及人擁抱你的懷,撫摸你的乳。

22 阿荷利巴啊,耶和華如此:我必激動你先而後生疏的人攻擊你。我必使他們,在你四圍攻擊你。

23 所來的就是巴比倫人、迦勒底的眾人、比割人、書亞人、哥亞人,同著他們的還有亞述眾人,乃是作省長、副省長、作軍長有名聲的,都,是可愛的少年人。

24 他們必帶兵器、戰車、輜重車,率領大眾攻擊你。他們要拿大小盾牌,頂盔擺陣,在你四圍攻擊你。我要將審判的事交他們,他們必按著自己的條例審判你。

25 我必以忌恨攻擊你;他們必以忿怒辦你。他們必割去你的鼻子和耳朵;你遺留(或譯:餘剩;下同)的人必倒在刀下。他們必擄去你的兒女;你所遺留的必被焚燒。

26 他們必剝去你的衣服,奪取你華美的寶器。

27 這樣,我必使你的淫行和你從埃及染來的淫亂止息了,使你不再仰望亞述,也不再追念埃及

28 耶和華如此:我必將你交在你所恨惡的人中,就是你心與他生疏的人中。

29 他們必以恨惡辦你,奪取你一切勞碌得來的,留下你赤身露體。你淫亂的下體,連你的淫行,帶你的淫亂,都被顯露。

30 人必向你行這些事;因為你隨從外邦人行邪淫,被他們的偶像玷污了。

31 走了你姊姊所走的,所以我必將他的杯交在你中。

32 耶和華如此:你必你姊姊所的杯;那杯又深又廣,盛得甚多,使你被人嗤笑譏刺。

33 你必酩酊大醉,滿有愁苦,喝乾你姊姊撒瑪利亞的杯,就是令人驚駭淒涼的杯。

34 你必這杯,以致盡。杯破又齦杯片,撕裂自己的乳;因為這事我曾說過。這是耶和華的。

35 耶和華如此:因你忘記我,將我丟在背後,所以你要擔當你淫行和淫亂的報應。

36 耶和華又對我:人子啊,你要審問阿荷拉與阿荷利巴麼﹖當指出他們所行可憎的事。

37 他們行淫,中有殺人的血,又與偶像行淫,並使他們為我所生的兒女經火燒給偶像

38 此外,他們還有向我所行的,就是同日玷污我的聖所,干犯我的安息日。

39 他們殺了兒女獻與偶像,當又入我的聖所,將聖所褻瀆了。他們在我殿中所行的乃是如此。

40 況且你們二婦打發使者去請遠方人。使者到他們那裡,他們就來了。你們為他們沐浴己身,粉飾眼目,佩戴妝飾,

41 在華美的床上,前面擺設桌案,將我的香料膏擺在其上。

42 在那裡有群眾安逸歡樂的聲音,並有粗俗的人和酒徒從曠野同,把鐲子戴在二婦的上,把華冠戴在他們的上。

43 我論這行淫衰老的婦人:現在人還要與他行淫,他也要與人行淫。

44 人與阿荷拉,並阿荷利巴二淫婦茍合,好像與妓女苟合。

45 必有人,照審判淫婦和流人血的婦人之例,審判他們;因為他們是淫婦,中有殺人的血。

46 耶和華如此:我必使多人來攻擊他們,使他們拋來拋去,被人搶奪。

47 這些人必用石頭打死他們,用刀殺害他們,又殺戮他們的兒女,用焚燒他們的房屋

48 這樣,我必使淫行從境內止息,好叫一切婦人都受警戒,不效法你們的淫行。

49 人必照著你們的淫行報應你們;你們要擔當拜偶像的罪,就知道我是耶和華

Apocalypse Explained # 862

/ 1232  
  

862. Verse 4. These are they that were not defiled with women, signifies those who have not falsified the truths of the Word. This is evident from the signification of "to be defiled and contaminated with women," as being to falsify the truths of the Word, since this has the same signification as "to commit whoredom" and "to play the harlot." That "whoredoms," "harlotries," and "adulteries," which are so often mentioned in the prophecies of the Word, signify falsifications and adulterations of the truth and good of the doctrine of the church, thus of the Word, may be seen above (n. 141, 161, 511, 695, 803); therefore it is added "for they are virgins," which signifies that they are in the affection or love of truth for the sake of truth. It is said that these hundred forty-four thousand "are not defiled with women, for they are virgins," because these hundred forty-four thousand mean all who are in truths from good; and those who are in truths from good cannot falsify truths, because good opens the spiritual mind, which receives light from heaven and enlightens the natural mind; therefore when truths appear they are acknowledged and received, and falsities are rejected. It is altogether different with those who are in truths without good. Such are in falsities, although they believe themselves to be in truths. For truths without good have no light or life; consequently they are inwardly as it were black and dead; and therefore when interiorly regarded by such they are either falsified or are scattered as if they were nothing. Such are the truths of the Word with those who are in faith separated from charity. When these speak from the sense of the letter of the Word they can speak nothing else than truths, since all things of the Word are truths; and yet those things that constitute the sense of the letter are appearances of truth because they are for the simple and for little children, and therefore are adapted to their apprehension. But when one who is in faith separated from charity interiorly examines these appearances of truth and undertakes to draw forth their genuine meaning or genuine truth he falls into falsities, by which he destroys the very truths of heaven, and thus closes heaven to himself. It is otherwise with those who are in truths from good; for these are continually enlightened by the Lord; for the Lord flows into good, and through good into truths with man; but not into truths without good, thus not into faith without charity.
