以西結書 7

Studie

   

1 耶和華的又臨到我

2 人子啊,耶和華以色列如此:結局到了,結局到了境!

3 現在你的結局已經臨到,我必使我的怒氣歸與你,也必按你的行為審判你,照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。

4 我眼必不顧惜你,也不可憐你,卻要按你所行的報應你,照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道我是耶和華

5 耶和華如此:有災,獨有災;看哪,臨近了!

6 結局來了,結局來了,向你興起。看哪,到了!

7 境內的居民哪,所定的災臨到你,時候到了,日子近了,乃是鬨嚷並非在上歡呼的日子。

8 我快要將我的忿怒傾在你身上,向你成就我怒中所定的,按你的行為審判你,照你一切可憎的事刑罰你。

9 我眼必不顧惜你,也不可憐你,必按你所行的報應你,照你中間可憎的事刑罰你。你就知道擊打你的是我耶和華

10 看哪,看哪,日子快到了,所定的災已經發出。杖已經開花,驕傲已經發芽。

11 強暴興起,成了罰惡的杖。以色列人,或是他們的群眾,或是他們的財寶,無一存留,他們中間也沒有得尊榮的。

12 時候到了,日子近了,買主不可歡喜,賣主不可愁煩,因為烈怒已經臨到他們眾人身上。

13 主雖然存活,卻不能歸回再得所的,因為這異象關乎他們眾。誰都不得歸回,也沒有在他的罪孽中堅立自己。

14 他們已經吹角,預備齊全,卻無一人出戰,因為我的烈怒臨到他們眾人身上。

15 在外有刀,在內有瘟疫、饑荒;在田野的,必遭刀;在城中的,必有饑荒、瘟疫吞滅他。

16 其中所逃脫的就必逃脫,各人因自己的罪孽在上發出悲聲,好像谷中的鴿子哀鳴。

17 都發軟,膝弱如

18 要用麻布束腰,被戰兢所蓋;各人臉上羞愧,上光禿

19 他們要將子拋在街上,子看如污穢之物。當耶和華發怒的日子,他們的不能救他們,不能使心裡知足,也不能使肚腹飽滿,因為這作了他們罪孽的絆腳石。

20 論到耶和華妝飾華美的殿,他建立得威嚴,他們卻在其中製造可憎可厭的偶像,所以這殿我使他們看如污穢之物。

21 我必將這殿交付外邦人為掠物,交付上的惡人為擄物;他們也必褻瀆這殿。

22 我必臉不顧以色列人,他們褻瀆我隱密之所,強盜也必進去褻瀆。

23 要製造鎖鍊;因為這遍滿流血的罪,城邑充滿強暴的事,

24 所以我必使列國中最惡的人佔據他們的房屋;我必使強暴人的驕傲止息,他們的聖所都要被褻瀆。

25 毀滅臨近了,他們要求平安,卻無平安可得。

26 災害加上災害,風聲接連風聲;他們必向先知異象,但祭司講的律法、長老設的謀略都必斷絕。

27 君要悲哀,王要披淒涼為衣,國民的都發顫。我必照他們的行為待他們,按他們應得的審判他們,他們就知道我是耶和華

Pestilence

  

In 2 Kings 1:2; Psalm 38:7; Exodus 15:26; Luke 6:17, this signifies temptations, and corresponds with the state of the man's spirit. (Arcana Coelestia 5711)

In Deuteronomy 7:15, this signifies the evils which assail people in faith separate from charity, and so in a life of evil. (Arcana Coelestia 8364)

In Matthew 4:24, disease or illness signifies various kinds of evils and falsities infesting the church and the human race, which if allowed to continue, would have induced spiritual death. (Arcana Coelestia 8364) 'Pestilence' denotes the vastation of good and truth.

95. 2. From the Prophets

Like as the lion roareth and the young lion over his prey; so shall Jehovah of Hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion and upon the hill thereof. As birds flying, so will Jehovah of Hosts protect Jerusalem; in protecting also He will deliver it; and in passing over He will free it (Isaiah 31:4-5).

Fear not, thou worm, Jacob, and ye men of Israel about to perish, saith Jehovah, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Behold, I have made thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; thou shalt thresh the mountains and beat them small, and make the hills as chaff. Thou shalt disperse that the wind may carry them away; but thou shalt exult in Jehovah, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 41:14-16). Concerning the Last Judgment and the subjugation of the hells. I will open rivers upon the hillsides and place fountains in the midst of the valleys; the wilderness I will make a pool of waters, and the dry land springs of water. I will place in the desert the cedar of Shittah; that they may see and know and attend, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it (Isaiah 41:18-20). Concerning the New Church and the understanding of truth after that time.

Jehovah shall go forth as a mighty man; as a man of wars He shall stir up zeal: He shall cry, yea, He shall shout aloud; over His enemies He shall prevail (Isaiah 42:13).
