Ezekijel 42

Studie

   

1 A zatim me povede na sjever, u vanjsko predvorje, i dovede me do prostorija nasuprot ograđenom prostoru, nasuprot zdanju prema sjeveru.

2 Pročelje im sa sjeverne strane bijaše dugo sto lakata, a široko pedeset lakata.

3 Nasuprot vratima unutrašnjeg predvorja i nasuprot pločniku vanjskoga predvorja bijahu hodnici jedan prema drugome na tri boja.

4 Pred prostorijama bijaše prolaz prema unutrašnjosti - deset lakata širok i sto lakata dugačak. Vrata im bijahu okrenuta na sjever.

5 Gornje prostorije, jer im prostor oduzimahu hodnici, bijahu manje od donjih i srednjih.

6 Jer bijahu na tri boja, ali ne imahu stupova kao u predvorju. Zato gornje prostorije bijahu uže od donjih i srednjih.

7 Vanjski zid, duž klijeti, prema vanjskom predvorju, ispred klijeti, bijaše dugačak pedeset lakata.

8 Jer dužina klijetima vanjskoga predvorja bijaše pedeset lakata, a onima pred Hekalom sto lakata.

9 U tih prostorija bijaše ulaz s istoka onomu tko im prilazi iz vanjskog predvorja.

10 Po širini zida predvorja prema istoku, pred ograđenim prostorom i pred samim zdanjem, bijaše još prostorijÄa.

11 Pred njima bijaše prolaz kao ispred klijeti smještenih prema sjeveru: jednake dužine i jednake širine; i svi im izlazi, raspored i vrata bijahu jednaki.

12 Bili su kao ulazi u klijeti što bijahu prema jugu: ulaz na početku svakog prolaza, nasuprot zidu zdanja, prema istoku onomu tko bi u njih ulazio.

13 I reče mi: "Sjeverne i južne prostorije ispred ograđenog prostora jesu prostorije Svetišta: ondje svećenici koji prilaze Jahvi blaguju najveće svetinje. Oni će ovdje odlagati najveće svetinje, prinose, okajnice i naknadnice, jer je to mjesto sveto.

14 A kad svećenici budu ulazili, neće izlaziti iz Svetišta u vanjsko predvorje, nego će tu ostavljati odjeću u kojoj bijahu službu služili, jer je sveta, i oblačiti drugu odjeću da bi se mogli približiti mjestu određenu za narod."

15 Izmjerivši unutrašnjost Doma, izvede me na istočna vrata i izmjeri sve uokolo.

16 Mjeračkom trskom izmjeri istočnu stranu: bijaše pet stotina trska, mjeračkih trska,

17 a zatim se okrenu i izmjeri sjevernu stranu: bijaše pet stotina trska, mjeračkih trska.

18 Tada se okrenu na južnu stranu i izmjeri: pet stotina trska, mjeračkih trska.

19 Potom se okrenu na zapadnu stranu i izmjeri: pet stotina trska, mjeračkih trska.

20 On izmjeri zid na sve četiri strane uokolo: bijaše pet stotina trska dugačak i pet stotina širok. Odvajao je sveto mjesto od nesvetoga.

Apocalypse Revealed # 487

487. "But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it." (11:2) This symbolically means that the state of the church on earth, as it is still, must be set aside and not learned.

The court outside the temple symbolizes the church on earth, because that church is outside heaven, heaven being the temple (no. 486). To leave out means, symbolically, to remove, here to remove from heaven, because its state is of such a character. And not to measure means, symbolically, not to learn or investigate its character (no. 486). The reason follows: "for has been given to the gentiles, and they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months."

That the court outside the temple here symbolizes the church on earth as it is still, is apparent from the following particulars in this chapter, where it is described by the great city called Sodom and Egypt, in which the Lord's two witnesses lay dead, and which afterward fell in a great earthquake, and seven thousand people by name were killed in it - and many other particulars besides.

[2] Elsewhere in the Word the court symbolizes the outward aspect of the church. For there were two courts 1 to be crossed when entering the Temple itself in Jerusalem, and as the Temple symbolized the church in respect to its inner aspect, therefore the courts symbolized the church in respect to its outward one. Consequently strangers who came from the surrounding nations were admitted into the courts, but not into the Temple itself.

Moreover, because the court symbolized the outward aspect of the church, it symbolized therefore also the church on earth, and heaven as well in its outmost manifestations, inasmuch as the church on earth is an entryway into heaven, and so is heaven in its outmost manifestations.

[3] A court has this symbolic meaning in the following places:

Blessed is he whom You choose... He shall dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, with the holiness of Your temple. (Psalms 65:4)

Praise the name of Jehovah..., O you... who stand in (His) house, in the courts of the house of our God. (Psalms 135:1-2)

How lovely are Your habitations, O Jehovah...! My soul... indeed faints for the courts of Jehovah. (Psalms 84:1-2)

Enter into His gates with confession, His courts with praise. (Psalms 100:4)

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree... Those who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall sprout in the courts of our God. (Psalms 92:12-13)

...a day in Your courts is better than thousands. I have chosen to stand at the door in the house of my God... (Psalms 84:10)

And so on elsewhere, as in Psalms 96:8; 116:18-19, Isaiah 1:12; 62:9, Zechariah 3:7, Ezekiel 10:3-5.

Regarding the courts of the Temple in Jerusalem, see 1 Kings 6:36; 7:12.

Regarding the courts of the new Temple, Ezekiel 40:17-44; 42:1-14; 43:4-7.

And regarding the court outside the Tabernacle, Exodus 27:9-18.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. I.e., the inner court or court of priests, and the outer court or great court. See 1 Kings 6:36; 7:12
