Ezekijel 4

Studie

   

1 A ti, sine čovječji, uzmi opeku, postavi je preda se i nacrtaj na njoj grad Jeruzalem.

2 Oko njega postavi opsadu, sagradi prema njemu utvrdu, podigni nasip, iskopaj oko njega opkop, razvrstaj vojsku i porazmjesti zidodere uokolo.

3 Zatim uzmi gvozdenu ploču i postavi je kao gvozden bedem između sebe i grada te k njemu okreni lice, i bit će opsjednut. Pritisni ga! To je znak domu Izraelovu!

4 Zatim lezi na svoju lijevu stranu i stavi na se grijeh doma Izraelova: koliko dana budeš tako ležao, toliko ćeš dana nositi njihov grijeh.

5 Dajem ti po dan za godine grijeha njihovih: sto i devedeset dana nosit ćeš grijeh doma Izraelova.

6 A kad to završiš, četrdeset ćeš dana ležati na desnoj strani da nosiš grijeh doma Judina; dajem ti po dan za svaku godinu.

7 Tad okreni lice prema opsjedanom Jeruzalemu, pruži golu desnicu i prorokuj protiv njega.

8 A ja ću te užetima vezati da se ne možeš okretati s jedne strane na drugu dok ne navršiš dane svoje opsade.

9 Uzmi pšenice, ječma, boba, leće, prosa i raži, stavi to u jednu posudu i pripravi od toga sebi kruh. Jest ćeš ga onoliko dana koliko budeš ležao na svojoj strani: sto i devedeset dana.

10 Jelo što ćeš ga jesti bit će izmjereno; dvadeset šekela na dan; a jest ćeš ga u određeno vrijeme.

11 I vodu ćeš piti na mjeru: šestinu hina. Pit ćeš je u određeno vrijeme.

12 A jest ćeš pogaču od ječma što ćeš je pred njima ispeći na ljudskim izmetinama."

13 I reče: "Tako će sinovi Izraelovi jesti svoj nečisti kruh među narodima među koje ću ih izagnati."

14 Ja mu odgovorih: "Jao, Jahve Gospode, gle, moja duša nije okaljana, jer se od djetinjstva još ne okusih ničega uginulog ni rastrganog niti u moja usta ikad uđe meso nečisto."

15 A on će: "Gle, dajem ti kravlju balegu umjesto ljudskih izmetina da na njoj ispečeš kruh!"

16 Još mi reče: "Sine čovječji, uništit ću u Jeruzalemu posljednju pričuvu kruha, i jest će kruh na mjeru i s tjeskobom, i pit će vodu na mjeru i sa zebnjom.

17 Neka im nestane kruha i vode, neka usahnu zbog bezakonja svojega i jedan za drugim neka poginu!

Scriptural Confirmations # 22

22. 20. (The Lord is described as to the Word appearing above the expanse of the cherubim (Ezekiel 1:26-28), and is called the Lord Jehovih (Ezekiel 2:4; 3:11, 27; 4:14; 5:7-8, 11; 6:3, 11; 7:2, 5; 8:1 seq.). Then he is called the God of Israel (8:4, especially 11:22-23).

I will raise up one shepherd over them, who shall feed them, My servant David. I, Jehovah, will be a God to them, and My servant David a prince in the midst of them. Then will I destroy for them the covenant of peace (Ezekiel 34:23-25).

My servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them to eternity. Thus shall My habitation be with them; and I will be God to them, moreover they shall be a people to Me (Ezekiel 37:24-25). Throughout the chapter the regeneration of man in the New Church is treated of, for this is meant by the dry bones, and by the two sticks which were one.

In that day will I make a covenant with the beast of the field and with the bird of the heavens, and I will break war from the earth, and make them to lie down securely. And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever, and I will betroth thee unto Me in justice and in judgment and in mercy, and I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness, and thou shalt know Jehovah. And it shall be in that day that I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth (Hosea 2:18-21).

I have consecrated their gain, and their wealth unto the Lord of the whole earth (Micah 4:13).

(Thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou art little among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me, that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity. Then shall he stand and feed in the strength of Jehovah, in the excellency of the name of his God; and they shall abide; for now shall he increase unto the ends of the earth (Micah 5:2-4). He will give them until the time, until the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the sons of Israel (verse 2). Concerning the New Church (4:5, seq.).)
