Ezechiel 24

Studie

   

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens :

2 Fili hominis, scribe tibi nomen diei hujus, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Jerusalem hodie.

3 Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Pone ollam ; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.

4 Congere frusta ejus in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena.

5 Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea : efferbuit coctio ejus, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio ejus.

6 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Væ civitati sanguinum, ollæ cujus rubigo in ea est, et rubigo ejus non exivit de ea ! Per partes et per partes suas ejice eam : non cecidit super eam sors.

7 Sanguis enim ejus in medio ejus est, super limpidissimam petram effudit illum : et effudit illum super terram, et possit operiri pulvere.

8 Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer, dedi sanguinem ejus super petram limpidissimam, ne operiretur.

9 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Væ civitati sanguinum, cujus ego grandem faciam pyram !

10 Congere ossa, quæ igne succendam : consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent.

11 Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat æs ejus, et confletur in medio ejus inquinamentum ejus, et consumatur rubigo ejus.

12 Multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo ejus, neque per ignem.

13 Immunditia tua execrabilis, quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis : sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.

14 Ego Dominus locutus sum : veniet, et faciam : non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor : juxta vias tuas, et juxta adinventiones tuas judicabo te, dicit Dominus.

15 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :

16 Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga : et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrimæ tuæ.

17 Ingemisce tacens : mortuorum luctum non facies : corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis : nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.

18 Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere : fecique mane sicut præceperat mihi.

19 Et dixit ad me populus : Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent quæ tu facis ?

20 Et dixi ad eos : Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens :

21 Loquere domui Israël : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra : filii vestri, et filiæ vestræ, quas reliquistis, gladio cadent.

22 Et facietis sicut feci : ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis :

23 coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus : non plangetis, neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum.

24 Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum : juxta omnia quæ fecit, facietis cum venerit istud : et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.

25 Et tu, fili hominis, ecce in die qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animæ eorum, filios et filias eorum :

26 in die illa, cum venerit fugiens ad te ut annuntiet tibi :

27 in die, inquam illa, aperietur os tuum cum eo qui fugit : et loqueris, et non silebis ultra : erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.

King

  
Meeting of three kings in Potsdam and Charlottenburg, 1709, by Samuel Theodor Gericke

In Genesis 14:1, kings signify apparent goods and truths having the upper hand. In the next verse, they stand for the dominant evils and falsities against which the Lord fought as he passed He grew up on Earth.

In Genesis 14:3, we see that these evils and falsities were unclean; and in Genesis 14:4, that they burst forth later. (Arcana Coelestia 1661-1664).

In Genesis 14:14-15, this signifies that the Lord gained victory over them the evils represented earlier in the chapter. (Arcana Coelestia 1711-1715)

In Isaiah 33:17, a king signifies seeing genuine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 304[31])

In Revelation 9:11, a king signifies one who is in truth from an affection for what is good, and abstractly that truth itself -- here, in the opposite sense. (Apocalypse Revealed 440)

1710. 'And pursued as far as Dan' means a state of purification. This is clear from the train of thought in the internal sense. 'Pursuing enemies' here means casting out the evils and falsities which were present with goods and truths and which caused these to be no more than goods and truths in outward appearance, and thus it means liberating them and purifying them. 'As far as Dan' means to Canaan's furthest boundary, and so to the outer limits to which they had fled. That Dan means the furthest boundaries or outer limits of Canaan is clear from various parts of the Word, as in Samuel,

To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah. from Dan even to Beersheba. 2 Samuel 3:10.

In the same book,

The whole of Israel from Dan even to Beersheba will be assembled together. 2 Samuel 17:10.

In the same book,

David said to Joab, Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan even to Beersheba. 2 Samuel 24:2, 15.

In the Book of Kings,

Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every one under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba. 1 Kings 4:25.

From these quotations it is evident that Dan was the furthest boundary of Canaan, in which direction the enemies were pursued that were infesting the goods and truths of the External Man. But because Dan was a boundary of Canaan, and so inside Canaan, they were driven still further away so that they should not remain there - namely to 'Hobah on the left of Damascus', as is clear from the verse that comes next - and in this way purification was accomplished. As stated already, 'the land of Canaan' means in a holy sense the Lord's kingdom, and thus the celestial element of love, or the good of love, chiefly the good residing in the Lord.
