Ezekiel 6

Studie

   

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

3 and say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the Mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys: Behold, I, [even] I, do bring a sword upon you, and will destroy your high places.

4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols;

5 and I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

6 In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

8 Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some escaped from the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they have been carried captives, when I shall have broken their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols; and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed, in all their abominations.

10 And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

11 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the abominations of the iniquities of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is left, and is besieged, shall die by the famine: and I will accomplish my fury upon them.

13 And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when their slain shall be among their idols, round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick terebinth, the places where they offered sweet savour to all their idols.

14 And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness of Diblath, in all their dwellings; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

5899. 'For a great escape' means deliverance from damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'an escape' as deliverance from damnation, a deliverance accomplished by means of remnants, that is, by means of the forms of good and truth present with a person, stored away by the Lord in him. People who accept those forms of good and truth, that is, who allow them to be implanted in themselves interiorly, escape damnation and are among 'those who are left'. This explains why in various places in the Word where reference is made to 'those who are left', or to 'a remnant', 'an escape' is mentioned, as it is here by Joseph and also elsewhere, such as in Isaiah,

On that day the fruit of the land will be magnificence and an adornment for the escape of Israel. And it will happen, that he who remains in Zion, and he who is left in Jerusalem, will be called holy. Isaiah 4:2-3.

In the same prophet,

On that day, the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob that escaped, 1 will no more lean on him that smote them. Isaiah 10:20-22.

In the same prophet,

Moreover, those that are left of the house of Judah and who escape 2 will take root downwards and bear fruit upwards. For out of Jerusalem will go a remnant, and those who escape 3 from mount Zion. Isaiah 37:31-32.

In Ezekiel,

I will cause some to be left, in that you will have some who will have escaped from the sword among the nations when you are dispersed in the earth. Then those of you that escape will remember Me. Ezekiel 6:8-9.

In Joel,

It will happen, that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will escape. For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be an escape, as Jehovah has said, and among those that are left whom Jehovah is calling. Joel 2:32.

In Jeremiah,

None will escape, nor will any of the remnant of Judah be left. Jeremiah 44:12, 14.

All these places show what is meant by 'escaping', which is this: The people to escape are those who have remnants, and 'escaping' means being delivered from damnation.
