Ezechiele 2

Studie

   

1 E mi disse: "Figliuol d’uomo, rizzati in piedi, e io ti parlerò".

2 E com’egli mi parlava, lo spirito entrò in me, e mi fece rizzare in piedi; e io udii colui che mi parlava.

3 Egli mi disse: "Figliuol d’uomo, io ti mando ai figliuoli d’Israele, a nazioni ribelli, che si son ribellate a me; essi e i loro padri si son rivoltati contro di me fino a questo giorno.

4 A questi figliuoli dalla faccia dura e dal cuore ostinato io ti mando, e tu dirai loro: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno.

5 E sia che t’ascoltino o non t’ascoltino giacché è una casa ribelle essi sapranno che v’è un profeta in mezzo a loro.

6 E tu, figliuol d’uomo, non aver paura di loro, né delle loro parole, giacché tu stai colle ortiche e colle spine, e abiti fra gli scorpioni; non aver paura delle loro parole, non ti sgomentare davanti a loro, poiché sono una casa ribelle.

7 Ma tu riferirai loro le mie parole, sia che t’ascoltino o non t’ascoltino, poiché sono ribelli.

8 E tu, figliuol d’uomo, ascolta ciò che ti dico; non esser ribelle com’è ribelle questa casa; apri la bocca, e mangia ciò che ti do".

9 Io guardai, ed ecco una mano stava stesa verso di me, la quale teneva il rotolo d’un libro;

10 ed egli lo spiegò davanti a me; era scritto di dentro e di fuori, e conteneva delle lamentazioni, de’ gemiti e dei guai.

Father

  
Rudolf von Arthaber with his Children, by Friedrich von Amerling

Father in the Word means what is most interior, and in those things that are following the Lord's order, it means what is good. In the highest sense Father means the Lord Himself, the creator. In the generation of natural children it is the father who provides the soul or the most interior receptacle of life, and an internal heredity, and the mother who provides all of the substance that the soul uses to form its body, plus an external heredity. In this process the soul comes from the Lord through the father, and not from the father, since all life is from the Lord. The wise person calls the Lord his father and the church his mother because his interior loves come from the Lord, but are given form and actuality through the truths taught by the church. Those things thus brought forth are a person's spiritual "children". In the New Testament, when speaking of Jesus and the Father, what is meant is the outward manifestation with the divine itself as the soul inside. Because Jesus was born from a natural mother, He had a natural body and a natural Jewish heredity. Throughout his life as He was tempted by the hells, He slowly put off all he had from His mother and replaced it with what He had from Himself inside, the Father. In doing this he made himself one with the Father that was His inmost so He could truly say, "I and my Father are one".
