1 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

2 Υιε ανθρωπου, συ κατοικεις εν μεσω οικου αποστατου, οιτινες οφθαλμους εχουσι δια να βλεπωσι, και δεν βλεπουσιν· ωτα εχουσι δια να ακουωσι, και δεν ακουουσι· διοτι ειναι οικος αποστατης.

3 Δια τουτο, συ, υιε ανθρωπου, ετοιμασον εις σεαυτον αποσκευην μετοικισμου, και μετοικισθητι την ημεραν ενωπιον αυτων· και θελεις μετοικισθη απο του τοπου σου εις αλλον τοπον ενωπιον αυτων· ισως προσεξωσιν, αν και ηναι οικος αποστατης.

4 Και θελεις εκφερει την αποσκευην σου την ημεραν ενωπιον αυτων, ως αποσκευην μετοικισμου· και συ θελεις εξελθει το εσπερας ενωπιον αυτων, ως οι εξερχομενοι εις μετοικισμον.

5 Ενωπιον αυτων καμε διορυγμα εν τω τοιχω και εκφερε δι' αυτου.

6 Ενωπιον αυτων θελεις σηκωσει αυτην επ' ωμων, και θελεις εκφερει, ενω σκοταζει· θελεις σκεπασει το προσωπον σου και δεν θελεις ιδει την γην· διοτι σε εδωκα σημειον εις τον οικον Ισραηλ.

7 Και εκαμον ως προσεταχθην· εφερα εξω την αποσκευην μου την ημεραν ως αποσκευην μετοικισμου, και το εσπερας εκαμον εις εμαυτον διορυγμα εν τω τοιχω δια της χειρος· εξεφερα αυτην ενω εσκοταζεν, ενωπιον αυτων εσηκωσα αυτην επ' ωμων.

8 Και το πρωι εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε λεγων,

9 Υιε ανθρωπου, ο οικος Ισραηλ, ο οικος ο αποστατης, δεν ειπε προς σε, Συ τι καμνεις;

10 ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Το φορτιον τουτο αποβλεπει τον αρχοντα τον εν Ιερουσαλημ και απαντα τον οικον Ισραηλ, οιτινες ειναι μεταξυ αυτων.

11 Ειπε, Εγω ειμαι το σημειον σας· καθως εγω εκαμον, ουτω θελει γεινει εις αυτους· εις μετοικεσιαν και εις αιχμαλωσιαν θελουσιν υπαγει.

12 Και ο αρχων ο μεταξυ αυτων θελει φορτωθη επ' ωμων, ενω σκοταζει, και θελει εκφερει· θελουσι διορυξει τον τοιχον δια να εκφερωσι δι' αυτου· θελει σκεπασει το προσωπον αυτου, δια να μη ιδη την γην με τους οφθαλμους αυτου.

13 Θελω ομως εξαπλωσει το δικτυον μου επ' αυτον, και θελει πιασθη εις τα βροχια μου· και θελω φερει αυτον εις την Βαβυλωνα, την γην των Χαλδαιων· αλλα δεν θελει ιδει αυτην και εκει θελει αποθανει.

14 Και θελω διασπειρει εις παντα ανεμον παντας τους περι αυτον δια να βοηθωσιν αυτον και πασας τας δυναμεις αυτου· και θελω γυμνωσει μαχαιραν οπισθεν αυτων.

15 Και θελουσι γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, οταν διασκορπισω αυτους μεταξυ των εθνων και διασπειρω αυτους εις τους τοπους.

16 Θελω ομως αφησει ολιγους τινας εξ αυτων απο της ρομφαιας, απο της πεινης και απο του λοιμου, δια να διηγωνται παντα τα βδελυγματα αυτων μεταξυ των εθνων, οπου υπαγωσι· και θελουσι γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

17 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

18 Υιε ανθρωπου, φαγε τον αρτον σου μετα τρομου και πιε το υδωρ σου μετα φρικης και αγωνιας.

19 Και ειπε προς τον λαον της γης, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος περι των κατοικων της Ιερουσαλημ και περι της γης του Ισραηλ. Θελουσι φαγει τον αρτον αυτων μετα αγωνιας και θελουσι πιει το υδωρ αυτων μετα εκστασεως· διοτι η γη αυτης θελει ερημωθη απο του πληρωματος αυτης, δια την ανομιαν παντων των κατοικουντων εν αυτη·

20 και αι πολεις αι κατοικουμεναι θελουσιν ερημωθη και η γη θελει αφανισθη, και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

21 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

22 Υιε ανθρωπου, τις αυτη η παροιμια, την οποιαν εχετε εν γη Ισραηλ, λεγοντες, Αι ημεραι μακρυνονται και πασα ορασις εχαθη;

23 Ειπε δια τουτο προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Θελω καμει την παροιμιαν ταυτην να παυση, και πλεον δεν θελουσι παροιμιαζεσθαι αυτην εν τω Ισραηλ· αλλ' ειπε προς αυτους, Πλησιαζουσιν αι ημεραι και η εκπληρωσις πασης ορασεως·

24 διοτι δεν θελει εισθαι πλεον ουδεμια ορασις ψευδης ουδε μαντευμα κολακευτικον εν μεσω του οικου Ισραηλ.

25 Διοτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος· εγω θελω λαλησει και ο λογος τον οποιον θελω λαλησει θελει εκτελεσθη· δεν θελει πλεον μακρυνθη· διοτι εν ταις ημεραις υμων, οικος αποστατης, θελω λαλησει λογον και εκτελεσει αυτον, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

26 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

27 Υιε ανθρωπου, ιδου, ο οικος Ισραηλ λεγουσιν, Η ορασις, την οποιαν ουτος βλεπει, εκτεινεται εις ημερας πολλας και προφητευει περι χρονων μακρων.

28 Δια τουτο ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ουδεις των λογων μου θελει πλεον μακρυνθη αλλ' ο λογος τον οποιον ελαλησα θελει εκτελεσθη, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

48. And His eyes like a flame of fire. This symbolizes the Divine wisdom accompanying Divine love.

Eyes in the Word mean the intellect, and the sight of the eyes, therefore, intelligence. Consequently, when said in reference to the Lord, they mean Divine wisdom. A flame of fire, moreover, symbolizes spiritual love, which is charity, and consequently, when said in reference to the Lord, it means Divine love. So now, the statement that His eyes were like a flame of fire symbolizes the Divine wisdom accompanying Divine love.

That the eye symbolizes the intellect is because they correspond. For as the eye sees as a result of natural light, so the intellect sees as a result of spiritual light. Consequently seeing is predicated of both.

That the eye in the Word symbolizes the intellect is apparent from the following passages:

Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. (Isaiah 43:8)

In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness... the eyes of the blind shall see. (Isaiah 29:18)

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf... (Isaiah 35:5)

...I will give You... as a light to the Gentiles, to open the eyes of the blind... (Isaiah 42:6-7)

The last is said of the Lord, who, when He comes, will open the intellect in people who are ignorant of the truth.

[2] That this is what is meant by opening the eyes is further apparent from the following passages:

Make the heart of this people fat..., and smear over their eyes, lest they see with their eyes... (Isaiah 6:10, John 12:40)

For Jehovah has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes; the prophets and your leaders, the seers, He has covered. (Isaiah 29:10, cf. 30:10)

...who shuts his eyes so as not to see evil. (Isaiah 33:15)

Hear this..., O foolish people..., who have eyes and see not... (Jeremiah 5:21)

(The punishment of) the shepherd, who deserts the flock: a sword shall be... against his right eye..., and his right eye shall be totally darkened. (Zechariah 11:17)

...the plague with which Jehovah will strike all the peoples who fought against Jerusalem: ...their eyes shall waste away in their sockets... (Zechariah 14:12)

...I will strike every horse with stupor, and... every horse of the peoples with blindness. (Zechariah 12:4)

A horse in the spiritual sense is an understanding of the Word (no. 298).

...hear me, Jehovah my God; enlighten my eyes, lest (perchance) I sleep the sleep of death. (Psalms 13:3)

Everyone sees that eyes in these places symbolize the intellect.

[3] It is apparent from this what the Lord meant by the eye in the following places:

The lamp of the body is the eye. If... your eye is whole, your entire body will be full of light. If... your eye is bad, your entire body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! (Matthew 6:22-23, cf. Luke 11:34)

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is better for you... to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Matthew 5:29; 18:9)

The eye in these places does not mean an eye, but an understanding of truth.

Since the eye symbolizes an understanding of truth, it was therefore one of the statutes among the children of Israel that a blind man of the posterity of Aaron or one blurry-eyed not approach to offer a sacrifice, nor enter within the veil (Leviticus 21:18, 20, 23), and that nothing blind be offered as a sacrifice (Leviticus 22:22, Malachi 1:8).

[4] It is apparent from this what an eye means when said in reference to a person. It follows then that when said in reference to the Lord, it means His Divine wisdom, and also His omniscience and providence, as in the following passages:

Open Your eyes, Jehovah, and see. (Isaiah 37:17)

I will set My eye on them for good, and... I will build them... (Jeremiah 24:6)

Behold, the eye of Jehovah is on those who fear Him... (Psalms 33:18)

Jehovah is in His holy temple...; His eyes behold, (and) His eyelids test the children of man. (Psalms 11:4)

Inasmuch as cherubim symbolize the Lord's protection and providence to keep the spiritual meaning of the Word from being harmed, therefore it is said of the four living creatures - which were cherubim - that they were full of eyes in front and in back, and that their wings were likewise full of eyes (Revelation 4:6, 8). And it is also said that the wheels on which the cherubim rode were full of eyes all around (Ezekiel 10:12).

[5] "A flame of fire" means the Lord's Divine love, as will be seen in subsequent expositions where flame and fire are mentioned. And because it is said that His eyes were like a flame of fire, it symbolizes the Divine wisdom accompanying Divine love.

The concept that the Lord has in Him Divine love as a property of Divine wisdom, and Divine wisdom as a property of Divine love, thus a reciprocal union of the two, is an arcanum disclosed in Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Love and Wisdom, nos. 34-39 and elsewhere.
