The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 156

156. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 33

Of those who instruct and are instructed. (2)

1-5 Those who are instructed by the preacher concerning falsities and do not take heed, perish; (2, 11)

6-7 when the preacher sees falsities and does not give instruction concerning them, he perishes. (2)

8-9 The same is true of everyone who teaches doctrine, when he teaches and is not heard, or when he does not teach. (2, 3)

10-11 So now in the church, they must be taught in order that they may be converted, because the Lord wishes the salvation of all. (2)

12-16 If the evil man becomes good, His evil is forgiven; if the good man becomes evil, His good is not regarded. (2)

17-20 These things are Divine justice. (2, 3)

21-26 A perverted church declares that it is the church because it has the Word; nevertheless it falsifies the Word, worships another god and does evil, (2, 4)

27-29 and will perish by reason of falsities of evil, (3)

30-33 notwithstanding its hearing the Word, and being in external worship. (3)

Ezekiel 33:30-33

Studie

      

30 As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from Yahweh.

31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don't do them.

33 When this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.
