Ezekiel 4

Studie

   

1 Kaj vi, ho filo de homo, prenu al vi brikon kaj kusxigu gxin antaux vi, kaj desegnu sur gxi urbon, nome Jerusalemon.

2 Kaj faru cxirkaux gxi siegxon, arangxu kontraux gxi bastionon, sursxutu kontraux gxi remparon, faru kontraux gxi tendaron, kaj starigu cxirkaux gxi muregrompilojn.

3 Kaj prenu al vi feran paton kaj starigu gxin kiel feran muron inter vi kaj la urbo, kaj direktu vian vizagxon kontraux gxin; gxi estu sub siegxo, kaj vi siegxu gxin. Tio estu signo por la domo de Izrael.

4 Kaj vi kusxigxu sur vian maldekstran flankon, kaj metu sur gxin la malpiecon de la domo de Izrael; dum tiom da tagoj, kiom vi kusxos sur gxi, vi portos sur vi ilian malpiecon.

5 La jarojn de ilia malpieco Mi kalkulos al vi kiel tagojn:dum tricent nauxdek tagoj vi portos sur vi la malpiecon de la domo de Izrael.

6 Kiam vi tion plenumos, tiam denove kusxigxu sur vian dekstran flankon, kaj portu sur vi la malpiecon de la domo de Jehuda dum kvardek tagoj; cxiun tagon Mi kalkulos al vi kiel jaron.

7 Kaj kontraux la siegxatan Jerusalemon direktu vian vizagxon kaj vian etenditan brakon, kaj profetu kontraux gxi.

8 Kaj jen Mi metos sur vin sxnurojn, ke vi ne povu turni vin de unu flanko sur la alian, gxis vi finos la tagojn de via siegxado.

9 Kaj prenu al vi tritikon kaj hordeon, fabojn kaj lentojn, milion kaj spelton, kaj sxutu tion en unu vazon, kaj faru al vi el tio panon laux la nombro de la tagoj, dum kiuj vi kusxos sur via flanko:dum tricent nauxdek tagoj mangxu gxin.

10 Kaj vian mangxajxon, kiun vi mangxos, uzu lauxpeze, po dudek sikloj cxiutage; de tempo al tempo mangxu gxin.

11 Kaj akvon trinku lauxmezure, po sesono de hino trinku de tempo al tempo.

12 En formo de hordeaj platkukoj mangxu tion, kaj sur ekskrementoj de homoj baku ilin antaux iliaj okuloj.

13 Kaj la Eternulo diris:Tiele la Izraelidoj mangxados sian panon malpure inter la popoloj, al kiuj Mi ilin dispelos.

14 Kaj mi diris:Ho Sinjoro, ho Eternulo! jen mia animo ne malpurigxis, kadavrajxon aux dissxiritajxon mi ne mangxis de mia juneco gxis nun, kaj nenia abomeninda viando eniris iam en mian busxon.

15 Kaj Li diris al mi:Jen Mi permesas al vi uzi ekskrementojn de brutoj anstataux ekskrementoj de homoj, kaj sur ili pretigu vian panon.

16 Kaj Li diris al mi:Ho filo de homo! jen Mi rompos la panan apogon en Jerusalem, kaj oni mangxos panon lauxpeze kaj en zorgoj, kaj akvon oni trinkos lauxmezure kaj kun afliktoj;

17 cxar mankos al ili pano kaj akvo, kaj ili kun teruro rigardos unu la alian, kaj ili konsumigxos pro sia malpieco.

9808. 'From the midst of the children of Israel' means in heaven and in the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'Israel' as those who belong to the Church, thus in the abstract sense the Church itself, dealt with in 4286, 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223, 8805, 9340. And since 'Israel' means the Church it also means heaven; for heaven and the Church make one, and also the Church is the Lord's heaven on earth. Every member of the Church furthermore has heaven within himself when truth and at the same time good which come from the Lord reside in him.

Arcana Coelestia # 2449

2449. That 'He overthrew those cities' means that all truths were separated from them so that they might possess falsities alone is clear from the meaning of 'cities' as matters of doctrine, and so as truths, for truths make up matters of doctrine, dealt with in 402, 2268, 2428. These are said to be 'overthrown' when falsities stand in place of truths, here when all truths have been separated from them, as well as all goods - goods too being dealt with in this verse, since the subject is the final state of those inside the Church who are governed by falsities and evils.

[2] This also is what their state comes to be, which, so that the nature of it may be known, must be described briefly. All who enter the next life are taken back to a life similar to that which they were leading during their lifetime., Then in the case of the good evils and falsities are separated so that the Lord may raise these people up by means of goods and truths into heaven; but in the case of the evil goods and truths are separated so that those evil ones may be carried away by means of evils and falsities into hell, see 2119, in exact accord with the Lord's words in Matthew,

To him who has, it will be given, so that he may have more abundantly; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. Matthew 13:12.

And elsewhere in the gospel,

To everyone who has, it will be given, so that he may have in abundance; but from him who has not, it will be taken away. Matthew 25:29; Luke 8:18; 19:24-26; Mark 4:24-25.

The same is meant by the following words which appear in Matthew,

Let both grow together until the harvest; and at the time of harvest I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn. The harvest is the close of the age. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. Matthew 13:30, 39-40.

The same point is made in the description of the net thrown into the sea gathering fish of various kinds, and how after that the good were sorted into vessels while the bad were thrown away; and this is how it will be at the close of the age, Matthew 13:47-50. What 'the close' is and that for the Church it entails events like these, see 1857, 2243.

[3] The reason why evils and falsities are separated in the case of people who are good is that the latter may not be left suspended between evils and goods and so that they may be raised up by means of goods into heaven. And the reason why goods and truths are separated in the case of the evil is so that they do not lead the upright astray by means of any goods present with them, and so that by means of their evils they may withdraw to the evil in hell. For in the next life such is the communication of all ideas comprising thought, and of all affections, that goods are communicated with the good, and evils with the evil, 1388-1390. Consequently unless separation took place countless harmful things would result, in addition to the fact that association together would not otherwise be possible. Yet all things are associated together in a very wonderful way, in heaven according to all the variations of love to the Lord and of mutual love, and consequently of faith, 685, 1394, and in hell according to all the variations of evil desires and of delusions resulting from these, 695, 1322. It should be recognized however that separation does not mean complete removal, for nothing anybody has once possessed is totally removed from him.
