Ezekijel 41

Studie

   

1 Zatim me povede u Hekal. Izmjeri mu polustupove: bijahu široki šest lakata s jedne i šest lakata s druge strane.

2 Vrata bijahu široka deset lakata: sa svake strane po jedno krilo od pet lakata. A zatim izmjeri Hekal: bijaše dugačak četrdeset, a širok dvadeset lakata.

3 Onda uđe i izmjeri polustupove vrata: dva lakta; zatim vrata: šest lakata; pa širinu vrata: sedam lakata.

4 Izmjeri zatim unutrašnji prostor: dužina dvadeset lakata, širina ispred Hekala dvadeset lakata. I reče mi: "To je Svetinja nad svetinjama."

5 Potom izmjeri zid Doma: šest lakata. Pobočne prostorije bijahu široke četiri lakta, sve oko Doma.

6 Pobočne prostorije bijahu jedna nad drugom, bijaše ih trideset na tri bÓoja. U hramskom zidu bijahu, sve uokolo, zasjeci da prihvate pobočne prostorije. Tako one ne bijahu ugrađene u hramski zid.

7 Širina se prostorija povećavala od boja do boja, jer su one sve uokolo, na bojeve, okruživale Dom, a Dom je, kako se uzlazilo, ostavljao sve širi prostor. S najdonjeg se boja uzlazilo na najgornji kroza srednji.

8 Onda vidjeh sve oko Doma neku uzvisinu. Osnove pobočnih prostorija: cijela trska, šest lakata.

9 Debljina vanjskoga zida pobočnih klijeti: pet lakata. Prolaz između pobočnih prostorija Doma

10 i klijeti bijaše, sve uokolo Doma, dvadeset lakata širok.

11 Iz pobočne prostorije izlažahu na prolaz jedna vrata prema sjeveru i jedna prema jugu. Prolaz bijaše širok pet lakata svud uokolo.

12 Zdanje što zatvaraše ograđeni prostor sa zapada bijaše široko sedamdeset lakata, a zid te građevine posvud uokolo bijaše debeo pet lakata i dugačak devedeset lakata.

13 On izmjeri Dom: bijaše dugačak stotinu lakata. Ograđeni prostor, zdanje mu i zidovi, stotinu lakata dužine.

14 Širina pročelja Doma s ograđenim prostorom prema istoku: sto lakata.

15 On izmjeri dužinu zdanja duž ograđenog prostora što bijaše straga i hodnike s jedne i s druge strane: stotinu lakata. Unutrašnjost Hekala, trijemovi predvorja,

16 pragovi, prozori s rešetkama i hodnici na sve tri strane uokolo, nasuprot pragovima, bijahu sve uokolo drvetom obloženi od zemlje do prozora. prozori su bili zastrti.

17 Od ulaza sve do unutrašnjosti Doma, a tako i izvana te po svem zidu uokolo, iznutra i izvana,

18 bijahu likovi kerubina i palma. Po jedna palma između dva kerubina, a svaki kerubin imaše dva lica:

19 prema palmi s jedne strane lice čovječje, a prema palmi s druge strane lice lavlje. Tako bijaše po svemu Domu sve uokolo:

20 od zemlje do ponad vrata bijahu izdjeljani kerubini i palme, a tako i po zidu Hekala.

21 Dovratnici Hekala bijahu četverouglasti.

22 Pred Svetištem nešto kao žrtvenik od drveta: tri lakta visok, dva lakta dugačak i dva lakta širok. Uglovi mu, podnožje i stranice bijahu od drveta. I čovjek mi reče: "Evo stola koji je pred licem Jahvinim!"

23 I Hekal i Svetište imahu po dvoja vrata,

24 a svaka vrata po dva krila što se obrtahu: dva krila u jednih i dva krila u drugih vrata.

25 A na vratima Hekala bijahu izdjeljani kerubini i palme, kao što bijahu izdjeljani i po zidovima. Izvana pred trijemom bijaše drvena nadstrešnica.

26 Prozori s rešetkama i palme bijahu s jedne i s druge strane na trijemu, u pobočnim prostorijama Doma i na nadstrešnici.

3391. 'That Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked through a window and saw' means the doctrine of faith which has regard to rational concepts held within cognitions. This is clear from the representation of 'Abimelech' as the doctrine of faith which has regard to rational concepts, dealt with in 2504, 2509, 2510, 2533; from the meaning of 'the king of the Philistines' as matters of doctrine, dealt with in 3365; and from the meaning of 'a window' as the understanding part of the mind, dealt with in 655, 658, and therefore internal sight, for this in former times was meant by 'windows'. Thus 'looking through a window' is perceiving things that are seen through internal sight. In general those things are cognitions which belong to the external man; but rational concepts - or what amounts to the same, appearances of truth, which are spiritual truths, 3368 - are not cognitions but are held within cognitions since they belong to the rational man, and so to the internal man. And it is characteristic of the internal man to regard the things belonging to the external man, and so to regard the truths held within cognitions. Since cognitions belong to the natural man they are consequently the recipient vessels for rational concepts. For Divine truths flow into the rational part of the mind and by way of the rational into the natural, where they present themselves like an image produced by many objects reflected in a mirror, see 3368.

[2] That 'windows' means the things that constitute internal sight, that is, the understanding, which are referred to by the single term 'intellectual concepts' is clear from the places in the Word introduced in 655, as well as from the following: In Joel,

They will run about the city, they will run on the wall, they will climb into the houses, they will go in through the windows like a thief. Joel 2:9.

This refers to the evils and falsities present in the final days of the Church. 'Climbing into the houses' stands for destroying goods which belong to the will - 'houses' being goods that belong to the will, see 710, 2233, 2234; and 'going in through the windows' for destroying truths and cognitions of those which belong to the understanding. In Zephaniah,

Jehovah will stretch out His hand over the north and will destroy Asshur. Herds will lie down in the midst of her, every wild beast of that nation. The spoonbill also and the duck will lodge in its pomegranates. 1 A voice will sing in the window, dryness will be on the threshold, for the cedar has been laid bare. Zephaniah 2:13-14.

This refers to the destruction of the truths of faith by means of reasonings, meant by Asshur, 119, 1186. 'A voice will sing in the window' stands for the desolation of truth, and so of the ability to understand what is true.

[3] In the Book of Judges,

She looked through the window, and the mother of Sisera exclaimed through the lattices, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Judges 5:28.

These words come in the prophecy of Deborah and Barak and have to do with the resurgence of the spiritual Church. 'Looking through the window' stands for the reasonings of those who deny truths and in so doing destroy things that belong to the Church; for such reasonings are intellectual concepts in the contrary sense. In Jeremiah,

Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without judgement, who says, I will build myself a wide house and spacious upper rooms, and he cuts out windows for himself, panelling it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion. Jeremiah 22:13-14.

'Building a house without righteousness, and upper rooms without judgement' stands for building a religion out of what is not good and not truth - 'righteousness and judgement' meaning good and truth, see 2235. 'Cutting out windows for oneself, panelling it with cedar, and painting it with vermilion' stands for falsifying truths, intellectual and spiritual. The windows of the Temple in Jerusalem represented nothing else than such things as constitute intellectual and thus spiritual concepts. The windows of the new temple that are mentioned in Ezekiel, 40:16, 22, 25, 33, 36; 41:16, 26, have a similar meaning, for anyone may see that the new temple, the new Jerusalem, and the new earth described in that prophet mean nothing else than the Lord's kingdom, and that accordingly the details mentioned concerning them are the kind of things that belong to that kingdom.
