Ezekiel 7

Studie

   

1 And the word of Jehovah was unto▵ me, saying,

2 And thou◦ son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovih* to the ground of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four wings* of the land.

3 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send My anger upon◦ thee, and will judge thee according·​·to thy ways, and will put◦ upon thee all thine abominations.

4 And My eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; for I will put◦ thy ways on thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I◦ am Jehovah.

5 Thus says the Lord Jehovih; An evil, one evil, behold, has come.

6 An end has come, the end has come; it has awakened upon thee; behold, it is come.

7 The diadem* has come to▵ thee, O thou who dwellest·​·in the land; the time has come, the day of upset is near, and not the heyd* of the mountains.

8 Now will I shortly spill My fury upon thee, and complete My anger on◦ thee; and I will judge thee according·​·to thy ways, and will give thee all thine abominations.

9 And My eye shall not spare, neither will· I ·have·​·pity; I will give to▵ thee according·​·to thy ways and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and you shall know that I◦ am Jehovah that smites.

10 Behold the day, behold, it is come; the diadem is gone·​·out; the rod has flowered, presumptuousness has flourished.

11 Violence has risen·​·up to a rod of wickedness; not one of them◦ shall remain, nor of their crowd, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing◦ over◦ them.

12 The time is come, the day has arrived; let not the buyer be·​·glad, and let not the seller mourn; for fierceness is against▵ all her crowd.

13 For the seller shall not turn·​·back to▵ what is sold, and their life is yet among the living; for the vision is to▵ all the crowd of them, which shall not turn·​·back; and a man◦ shall not confirm himself in the iniquity of his life.

14 They have sounded the trumpet, even to make all prepared; but none goes◦ to the battle; for My fierceness is against▵ all the multitude◦.

15 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine inside; he that is in the field shall·​·die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

16 But they who escape of them shall escape◦, and shall be on the mountains as doves of the ravines, all of them making·​·noise, each·​·man◦ by his iniquity.

17 All the hands shall be·​·slack, and all knees shall go into the waters.

18 And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be to▵ all faces, and baldness upon◦ all their heads.

19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be isolated as an abomination; their silver and their gold shall not be·​·able to rescue them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: for their iniquity is their stumblingblock.

20 And the elegance of His decoration, He set it with pride; and they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I put◦ him in isolation from them.

21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for plunder, and to the wicked of the earth for spoil; and they shall profane it.

22 And My face I will turn·​·around from them◦, and they shall profane My secret place; and they who break·​·through shall come into it, and profane it.

23 Make the chain◦; for the land is·​·full of the judgment of bloods*, and the city is·​·full of violence.

24 And I will bring the evil ones of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their consecrated places shall be profaned.

25 Cutting off* comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

26 Calamity shall come upon calamity, and report shall be upon report; and they shall seek a vision from the prophet; and the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

27 The king shall mourn, and the chief shall be·​·clothed with astonishment, and the hands of the people of the land shall be vexed; I will do to them after their way, and with their judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I◦ am Jehovah.

764. IV. This night is followed by morning, and morning is the Lord's coming.

The succeeding states of the church in general and in particular are described in the Word by the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and by the four times of day, morning, midday, evening and night. Since the present-day Christian church is in night, it follows that morning is at hand, that is, the first state of a new church. It can be established from the following passages that successive states of the church are described in the Word by the four periods of daylight:

Until the evening and the morning, two thousand three hundred [days], then will the holy place be made holy 1 . The vision of the evening and the morning is truth, Daniel 8:14, 26.

One is calling to me from Seir, Watchman, what of the night? The watchman says, The morning is coming, and night again, Isaiah 21:11-12.

The end has come, the morning has come upon you, you that dwell in the land. Look, the day has come, the morning has gone forth, Ezekiel 7:6-7, 10.

Jehovah morning by morning will set His judgment in light, nor will He fail, Zephaniah 3:5. God is in her midst, God will help her when morning breaks, Psalms 46:5.

I have waited for Jehovah, my soul waits for the Lord more than those that watch for the morning, those that watch for the morning. For with Him is a wealth of redemption, and He will redeem Israel, Psalms 130:5-8.

[2] In these passages evening and night mean the final period of the church, morning its first period. The Lord Himself is also called the morning in the following passages:

The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel talked to me. He is like the light of morning, a morning without clouds. 2 Samuel 23:3-4.

I am the root and offspring of David, the bright star of morning, Revelation 22:16.

From the womb of the dawn the dew of your youth is on you, Psalms 110:3.

These things are said of the Lord. It was because the Lord is the morning that He also rose from the tomb in the early morning, so as to begin a new church (Mark 16:2, 9).

[3] The Lord's coming is to be awaited, as is plainly established by His prediction of it in Matthew:

When Jesus was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him, saying, Tell us, what is the sign of your coming and of the ending of the age? Matthew 24:3.

After the affliction of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will the sign of the Son of Man appear, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory, Matthew 24:29-30; Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27.

As were the days of Noah, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. Therefore be ready, for at the time you do not expect, the Son of Man will come, Matthew 24:37, 39, 44, 46.

In Luke:

When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith upon the earth? Luke 18:8.

In John:

Jesus said of John, If I want him to stay until I come... John 21:22-23.

[4] In the Acts of the Apostles:

When they saw Jesus lifted up into heaven, two men stood before them in white clothing, and they said, Jesus who has been lifted up from you into heaven, will come like this, as you have seen him going into heaven, Acts of the Apostles 1:9-11.

In Revelation:

The Lord, the God of the holy prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must happen. Behold, I am coming. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy 2 of this book. And behold, I am coming, and my reward is with me, so that I may give to each according to what he has done, Revelation 22:6-7, 12.

Further:

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness of these things to you in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright star of the morning. The spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who hears say, Come. And let him who is thirsty come; and let whoever will, take the water of life without payment. Rev:16-17.

Further:

He who bears witness to these things says, I am coming indeed. Amen, come indeed, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen, Revelation 22:20-21.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Or literally: 'be justified'.

2. For 'the words of the prophecy' the Latin has 'the commands', but this is corrected in the Author's copy.
