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.

5695. 'And he washed his face' means that it took steps to ensure this. This is clear from the meaning of 'washing his face' here as taking steps to ensure that it remained unseen; for Joseph's face was washed, and so steps were taken by him to ensure that his tears remained unseen. The full implications of this will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated further on; but let something be said at this point about the correspondence of a person's face with his interiors. His face is what is external serving to represent his interiors. For the face has been designed in such a way that a person's interiors may be seen there as if in a mirror that reflects things in a representative fashion; it has been so designed that another may know its owner's attitude of mind towards himself, so that the owner reveals his sentiments when he speaks not only through his speech but also through his face. This was the kind of face possessed by the most ancient people who belonged to the celestial Church, and it is the kind that all angels have. Angels have no wish to conceal from others anything they think, for they think solely of their neighbour's well-being. Nor do they have any thought hidden away which desires their neighbour's well-being for some selfish reason of their own.

[2] But those in hell, as long as they are not seen in the light of heaven, have a face other than the one that corresponds to their interiors. The reason for this is that during their lifetime they bore witness by means of their face to charity towards the neighbour solely for the sake of their own position and gain; they did not desire their neighbour's well being except insofar as it was identical with their own. Consequently the expression on their face is at variance with their interiors. Sometimes that variance is so great that feelings of enmity, hatred, and revenge, and the desire to murder are inwardly present, yet their face is set in such a way that love towards their neighbour is beaming from it. From this one may see how far people's interiors disagree at the present day with their exteriors, and why they resort to those kinds of practices to serve their own interests.
