Ezekijel 13

Studie

   

1 I opet mi dođe riječ Jahvina:

2 "Sine čovječji! Prorokuj protiv onih koji se grade prorocima u Izraelu!

3 Reci tim prorocima koji prorokuju po svojoj glavi: 'Čujte riječ Jahvinu! Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Jao prorocima bezumnim koji duh svoj slijede a ništa ne vide!

4 Ti su tvoji proroci, Izraele, kao lisice usred ruševina.

5 Vi se ne popeste na proboje i ne zidaste zida oko doma Izraelova da se održi u boju u dan Jahvin.

6 Viđenja su njihova isprazna, i lažna su njihova proricanja. Govore 'Riječ Jahvina!' - a Jahve ih nije poslao. I još očekuju da će im se riječi ispuniti.

7 Zar ne vidite da su vam viđenja isprazna i da su vam lažna proricanja kad govorite 'Riječ Jahvina!' - a ja nisam govorio.'

8 Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Zato što govorite isprazno i laž vidite, evo me protiv vas' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda!

9 Evo, ruka moja bit će protiv proroka koji vide isprazno i laž proriču: neće više biti u zboru mojega naroda, neće biti upisani u knjigu doma Izraelova, nikad više neće stupiti na tlo Izraelovo! I znat će da sam ja Jahve Gospod!

10 Jer narod moj obmanjuju govoreći 'Mir' kad mira nema. I dok jedni hoće da se zid utvrdi, oni hoće da se samo ožbuka.

11 Reci onima koji hoće da se samo ožbuka: 'Past će!' Udarit će silan pljusak, oborit ću na nj grÓad kao kamenje, bjesnjet će olujni vihori.

12 Evo, zid će pasti! Neće li vas tada pitati: 'Gdje vam je sada žbuka kojom ste ga ožbukali?'

13 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'U svojoj jarosti razbjesnit ću olujne vihore, u srdžbi ću svojoj udariti silnim pljuskom da ga zatrem, u gnjevu ću na nj oboriti grÓad kao kamenje.

14 Obalit ću zid što ga vi žbukom ožbukaste, na zemlju ću ga oboriti da mu se razgole temelji. Past će zid, i vi ćete pod njim izginuti! Tada ćete znati da sam ja Jahve!

15 Tako ću iskaliti gnjev nad zidom i nad onima koji ga žbukom ožbukaše. A vama ću reći: Nema više zida! Nema onih koji ga žbukom ožbukaše.

16 Nema izraelskih proroka koji Jeruzalemu proricahu i koji mu mir vidješe kad mira ne bijaše.' Tako govori Jahve Gospod."

17 "Sine čovječji, okreni lice protiv kćeri svojega naroda koje prorokuju po svojoj glavi! Prorokuj protiv njih:

18 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jao onima koje vezu poveze za svačije ruke i koje prave prijevjese za glave svake veličine da ulove duše! Mislite li uloviti sve duše mojega naroda a svoje duše sačuvati žive?

19 Obeščašćujete me pred mojim narodom za šaku ječma, za zalogaj kruha, ubijajući duše koje ne bi trebale da umru, a spasavajući one koje ne bi trebale da žive; i obmanjujete tako narod moj koji rado sluša vaše laži.'

20 Zato ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Evo me protiv vaših poveza kojima lovite duše kao ptice! Rastrgat ću sve to na vašim rukama i oslobodit ću duše koje time hvatate kao ptice!

21 Poderat ću vaše prijevjese i oslobodit ću svoj narod da ne bude više plijen vaših ruku. I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!

22 Jer vi lažju ražalostiste srce pravednika, koje ja ražalostiti ne htjedoh, a okrijepiste ruke bezbožnika da se ne obrati od zla puta bezbožničkog pa da život spasi.

23 Zato nećete više vidjeti isprazno niti ćete laž proricati: ja ću osloboditi narod svoj iz vaših ruku. I znat ćete da sam ja Jahve!'"

6119. 'And why should we die near by you because the silver is lacking?' means that otherwise spiritual death takes place because of the lack of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as spiritual death, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the silver lacking' as a lack of truth - 'silver' being factual knowledge that holds truth in it and is appropriate, see 6112. What is implied by the notion that spiritual death takes place when there is a lack of truth is that spiritual life consists in deeds carried out in accordance with truths, consequently in useful services. For people endowed with spiritual life possess a yearning and desire for truths with life in view - that is, their end in view is to lead a life according to those truths - thus with useful services in view. Therefore the extent to which they can absorb truths, in accordance with which useful services are to be rendered, determines how much spiritual life they possess, because it determines how much of the light of intelligence and wisdom they possess. When truths are lacking therefore, as happens when a state of shade arrives - a state meant in the Word by 'evening', 6110 - spiritual life languishes. It languishes because things such as belong to the state of shade, that is, to spiritual death, enter in. When this happens people cannot be kept in the light in which they were before but are returned in part to a state of selfhood. As a consequence there emerges from the shade an image of spiritual death, that is, of damnation.

[2] It is clear from very many places in the Word that 'death' means spiritual death, or damnation; but let simply the following be quoted here: In Isaiah,

With righteousness He will judge the poor, and will reprove with uprightness the wretched of the earth. On the other hand He will smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath 1 of His lips He will make the wicked die. Isaiah 11:4.

This refers to the Lord. 'The rod of His mouth' and 'the breath of His lips stand for Divine Truth, the source of judgement. 'Dying' stands for suffering damnation. In the same prophet, He Will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from upon all faces. Isaiah 15:8.

In the same prophet,

The dead will not live, the Rephaim will not rise. To that end You have visited them, You have wiped them out. Isaiah 16:14.

In the same prophet,

Your dead will live, my corpse will rise again. Isaiah 26:19.

In the same prophet,

You have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell we have shaped a vision. Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your vision with hell will not stand. Isaiah 28:15, 18.

[3] In Jeremiah,

You look for light, but He will turn it into the shadow of death, He will place it in thick darkness. Jeremiah 13:16.

In Ezekiel,

You have desecrated Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crusts of bread, to slay souls that ought not to die and to bestow life on souls that ought not to live. Ezekiel 13:19, 22.

In Hosea,

Out of the hand of hell I will redeem them, from death I will deliver them. I will be your plagues, O death; I will be your destruction, O hell! Hosea 13:14.

In David,

You lift me up from the gates of death. Psalms 9:13.

In the same author,

Lighten my eyes, lest perhaps I sleep [the sleep of] death. Psalms 13:3.

In the same author,

The cords of death encompassed me, and the cords of hell. Psalms 18:4-5.

In the same author,

Like sheep they will be placed in hell, death will feed them. Psalms 49:14.

In John,

I have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18.

In the same book,

He who overcomes will not suffer harm in the second death. Revelation 1:11.

[4] In the same book,

I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive; but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen what remains, which is at the point of death. Revelation 3:1-2.

In Matthew,

The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light; and for those sitting in the region and shadow of death, the light has arisen. Matthew 4:16.

In John,

He who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me will have eternal life, and will not come into judgement, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24.

In the same gospel,

I am going away and you will seek Me, but you will die in your sin. I have said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins. If anyone keeps My word he will not ever see death. John 8:21, 14, 51-52.

Because 'death' meant damnation those who belonged to the representative Church were forbidden to touch the dead. If they did touch them they were unclean and had to be cleansed, Ezekiel 44:25; Leviticus 15:31; 21:2-3; 22:8; Numbers 6:6-12; 19:11-end.
