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.

Heaven and Hell # 171

171. There is no way to describe briefly how things look to angels in the heavens. To a considerable extent, they look like the things we see on earth, but they are more perfect in form and also more abundant.

We may conclude that there are things like this in the heavens because of what the prophets saw - for example what Ezekiel saw of the new temple and the new earth as described in chapters 40-48 [of his book], what Daniel describes in his chapters 7-12, what John saw as described from the first through the last chapter of Revelation, along with other visions presented in both the historical and the prophetic books of the Word. They saw things like this when heaven was opened to them, and heaven is said to be opened when our inner sight, the sight of our spirit, is opened. For the things that exist in heaven cannot be seen with our physical eyes, but only with the eyes of our spirit; and when it pleases the Lord, these are opened. At such times we are led out of the natural light that our physical senses are in and raised into the spiritual light in which we dwell because of our spirit. This is the light in which I have seen the things that exist in the heavens.

Ezekiel 48

Studie

   

1 Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east [and] west), Dan, one [portion].

2 By the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one [portion].

3 By the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one [portion].

4 By the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one [portion].

5 By the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one [portion].

6 By the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one [portion].

7 By the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion].

8 By the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in its midst.

9 The offering that you shall offer to Yahweh shall be twenty-five thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

10 For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand [in length], and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in its midst.

11 [It shall be] for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn't go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

13 Answerable to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yahweh.

15 The five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in its midst.

16 These shall be its measures: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

17 The city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred fifty, and toward the south two hundred fifty, and toward the east two hundred fifty, and toward the west two hundred fifty.

18 The remainder in the length, answerable to the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable to the holy offering; and its increase shall be for food to those who labor in the city.

19 Those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

20 All the offering shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall offer the holy offering foursquare, with the possession of the city.

21 The residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.

22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.

23 As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one [portion].

24 By the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one [portion].

25 By the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one [portion].

26 By the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one [portion].

27 By the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one [portion].

28 By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], to the great sea.

29 This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord Yahweh.

30 These are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure;

31 and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

32 At the east side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.

33 At the south side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.

34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.

35 It shall be eighteen thousand [reeds] around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, Yahweh is there.
