93. This state of the celestial man who has been granted the serenity of peace, who has been recreated by the rain, and freed from the slavery of evil and falsity, the Lord describes through Ezekiel as follows,

I will make with them a covenant of peace and I will banish the evil wild animal from the land, and they will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods, and I will give them and the places around My hill a blessing, and I will cause the rain to descend in its season. They will be showers of blessing. And the tree of the field will give its fruit, and the earth will give its increase, and they will be there with confidence on their land, and they will know that I am Jehovah, that I will break the bars of their yoke, and I will free them from the hand of those who enslave them. You are My flock, the flock of My pasture. You are man, I am your God. Ezekiel 34:25-27, 31.

And through Hosea He describes the attainment of this on the third day, which has the same meaning in the Word as the seventh,

He will revive us after two days, on the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him. And we shall know, and we shall press on to know Jehovah. Ready as the dawn is His going forth, and He will come to us like the rain, like the latter rain that waters the earth. Hosea 6:2-3.

And through Ezekiel, when the Ancient Church is the subject, the attainment of that state is compared to the seed of the field,

I gave you to be like the seed of the field; and you grew up and became tall and reached full beauty. Ezekiel 16:7.

It is also compared to

The shoot of plantings, and the work of the hands of Jehovah God. Isaiah 60:11.
