Иезекииль 12

1 И было ко мне слово Господне:

2 сын человеческий! ты живешь среди дома мятежного; у них есть глаза, чтобы видеть, а не видят; у них есть уши, чтобы слышать, а не слышат;потому что они – мятежный дом.

3 Ты же, сын человеческий, изготовь себе нужное для переселения, и среди дня переселяйся перед глазами их, и переселяйся с места твоего в другое место перед глазами их; может быть, они уразумеют, хотя они - дом мятежный;

4 и вещи твои вынеси, как вещи нужные при переселении, днем, перед глазами их, и самвыйди вечером перед глазами их, как выходят для переселения.

5 Перед глазами их проломай себе отверстие в стене, и вынеси через него.

6 Перед глазами их возьми ношу на плечо, впотьмах вынеси ее, лицетвое закрой, чтобы не видеть земли; ибо Я поставил тебя знамением домуИзраилеву.

7 И сделал я, как повелено было мне; вещи мои, как вещи нужные при переселении, вынес днем, а вечером проломал себе рукою отверстие в стене, впотьмах вынес ношу и поднял на плечо перед глазами их.

8 И было ко мне слово Господне поутру:

9 сын человеческий! не говорил ли тебе дом Израилев, дом мятежный:„что ты делаешь?"

10 Скажи им: так говорит Господь Бог: это – предвещание для начальствующего в Иерусалиме и для всего дома Израилева, который находится там.

11 Скажи: я знамение для вас; что делаю я, то будет с ними, – в переселение, в плен пойдут они.

12 И начальствующий, который среди них, впотьмах поднимет ношу на плечо и выйдет. Стену проломают, чтобы отправить его через нее; он закроет лице свое, так что не увидит глазами земли сей.

13 И раскину на него сеть Мою, и будет пойман в тенета Мои, и отведу его в Вавилон, в землю Халдейскую, но он не увидит ее, и там умрет.

14 А всех, которые вокруг него, споборников его и все войско его развею по всем ветрам, и обнажу вслед их меч.

15 И узнают, что Я Господь, когда рассею их по народам и развею их поземлям.

16 Но небольшое число их Я сохраню от меча, голода иязвы, чтобы они рассказали у народов, к которым пойдут, о всех своих мерзостях; и узнают, что Я Господь.

17 И было ко мне слово Господне:

18 сын человеческий! хлеб твой ешь с трепетом, и воду твою пей с дрожанием и печалью.

19 И скажи народу земли: так говорит Господь Бог о жителях Иерусалима, о земле Израилевой: они хлеб свой будут есть с печалью и воду свою будут пить в унынии, потому чтоземля его будет лишена всего изобилия своего за неправды всех живущих на ней.

20 И будут разорены населенные города, и земля сделается пустою, и узнаете, что Я Господь.

21 И было ко мне слово Господне:

22 сын человеческий! что за поговорка у вас, в земле Израилевой: „много дней пройдет, и всякое пророческое видение исчезнет"?

23 Посему скажи им: так говорит Господь Бог: уничтожу эту поговорку, и не будут уже употреблять такой поговорки у Израиля; но скажи им: близки дни и исполнение всякого видения пророческого.

24 Ибо уже не останется втуне никакое видение пророческое, и ни одно предвещание не будет ложным в доме Израилевом.

25 Ибо Я Господь, Я говорю; и слово, которое Я говорю, исполнится, ине будет отложено; в ваши дни, мятежный дом, Я изрек слово, и исполню его, говорит Господь Бог.

26 И было ко мне слово Господне:

27 сын человеческий! вот, дом Израилев говорит: „пророческое видение, которое видел он, сбудется после многих дней, и он пророчествует об отдаленных временах".

28 Посему скажи им: так говорит Господь Бог: ни одно из слов Моих уже не будет отсрочено, но слово, которое Я скажу, сбудется, говорит Господь Бог.

9323. 'And He will bless your bread and your water' means the increase of the good of love and of the truth of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed by Jehovah' as being made fruitful in forms of good and being multiplied in truths, dealt with in 2846, 3406, 4981, 6091, 6099, 8939, thus an increase in the kinds of things that belong to love and faith; from the meaning of 'bread' as the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 6118, 8410; and from the meaning of 'water' as the truth of faith, dealt with in 680, 739, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, 6346, 7307, 8568. Since 'bread' meant all the good of love and 'water' all the truth of faith in their entirety, and since 'being blessed by Jehovah' means every increase in them, people in the ancient Churches were accustomed to express the wish, May Jehovah bless [your] bread and water. It was also common to speak of 'bread and water' when all natural food and drink were to be expressed and all spiritual goodness and truth to be understood; for the latter are what nourish spiritual life, just as the former nourish natural life, 4976.

[2] Such goodness and truth are meant by 'bread and water' in the following places: In Isaiah,

Behold, Jehovah Zebaoth is taking away from Jerusalem and Judah the whole staff of bread, and the whole staff of water. Isaiah 3:1.

'The staff of bread' stands for power and life provided by good, 'the staff of water' for power and life provided by truth. In Ezekiel,

Behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, so that they may eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and with dismay; that they may be in want of bread and water, and will be dismayed with one another, 1 and waste away on account of their iniquity. Ezekiel 4:16-17.

'Being in want of bread and water' means being deprived of the good of love and of the truth of faith, as is plainly evident since it says 'that they will be dismayed with one with another, and waste away on account of iniquity'.

[3] The like occurs again in the same prophet,

They will eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with dismay, so that her land may be devastated of its fullness, on account of the violence of all who dwell in it. Ezekiel 12:19.

In Amos,

Behold, the days are going to come, in which I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. Amos 8:11.

In the first Book of Kings,

The man of God said to Jeroboam, If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. For Jehovah had so commanded, saying, You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way you came. But a prophet from Bethel said to him that he had been told by Jehovah that he was to eat bread and drink water with him (he was lying). 2 And he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water. For that reason he was torn to pieces by a lion. 1 Kings 13:8-9, 16-19, 24.

His refusal to eat bread or drink water with Jeroboam was a sign of his abhorrence of the good there and also of the truth, because they had been rendered profane. For Jeroboam had profaned the altar and all the holy things of worship, as is evident from the historical descriptions at this point in the Word.

[4] A lack of spiritual goodness and truth was meant by the absence of rain for three and a half years when Ahab was king, resulting in a lack of bread and of water, during which time Elijah went to a widow in Zarephath and asked her for a little water in a vessel so that he might drink, and a piece of bread so that he might eat, 1 Kings 17, 18. For 'bread' meant all the good of the Church, and 'water' all the truth of the Church, as stated above. Since such things in those times were representative for the reason that only something representative of the Church existed among those people, and since things of a representative nature were used therefore in the composition of the Word, including the historical section, goodness and truth laid waste was accordingly represented by the lack of bread and water. And because 'bread' meant all the good of love in its entirety, therefore also the sacrifices were referred to as 'bread', 2165, and therefore also the Lord calls Himself 'the bread which comes down from heaven', John 6:48, 50-51; for the Lord is the Good itself of Love.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, will be desolated a man and his brother

2. i.e. the prophet from Bethel was lying when he told the man of God that God had commanded him (that prophet) to bring the man of God to his house

3735. 'And clothing to wear' means being joined to Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'clothing' as truth, dealt with in 1073, 2576, Divine Truth here since the Lord is the subject; and from the meaning of 'wearing' as making it one's own and being joined to it. As for the nature of the internal sense of the Word, that becomes clear from these and all other details; that is to say, when the sense of the letter refers to bread and to clothing, and also when it does so within historical narrative, as here in 'If God will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear', the angels present with a person at the time have no thought at all of bread but of the good of love, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Good. Nor do they have any thought at all of clothing but of truth, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Truth. To them such things as are referred to in the sense of the letter are simply objects for thought regarding heavenly and Divine matters, for such things are vessels existing in the ultimate degree of order.

[2] So when with holiness of mind a person thinks about bread - for example, when he thinks about the bread in the Holy Supper, or about the daily bread in the Lord's Prayer - that thought which he has about bread serves the angels present with him as an object for thought regarding the good of love which comes from the Lord. For the angels do not take hold of anything at all of the person's actual thought concerning bread, but instead their thought concerns good; for such is the correspondence between the two. It is similar when with holiness of mind a person thinks about clothing. The angels' thought in that case concerns truth. So it is with everything else in the Word. From this the nature of the joining together of heaven and earth by means of the Word becomes clear; that is to say, the joining together is such that when with holiness of mind anyone reads the Word he is joined by means of such correspondences more closely to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord, even though that person's thought is concerned solely with things in the Word which are stated in the sense of the letter. His holiness of mind at that time is the product of the influx of celestial and spiritual thoughts and affections such as exist with angels.

[3] So that such influx might exist and from that influx man might be joined to the Lord, the Lord has instituted the Holy Supper where it is explicitly stated that the Lord is the bread and wine. For the Lord's body means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, love such as exists with celestial angels, while His blood in a similar way means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, but love such as exists with spiritual angels. From this it is evident how much of the Divine there is within every individual part of the Word, though man does not know what that Divine content is or the nature of it. People however who, while in the world, have led a good life enter after death into cognitions and a perception of all those things, for at that time they cast off earthly and worldly things and take to themselves heavenly ones, and have, like angels, spiritual and celestial ideas.
