Иезекииль 26

Studie

   

1 В одиннадцатом году, в первый день первого месяца, было ко мне слово Господне:

2 сын человеческий! за то, что Тир говорит о Иерусалиме: „а! а! он сокрушен – врата народов; он обращается ко мне; наполнюсь; он опустошен", –

3 за то, так говорит Господь Бог: вот, Я – на тебя, Тир, и подниму на тебя многие народы, как море поднимает волны свои.

4 И разобьют стены Тира и разрушат башни его; и вымету из него прах его и сделаю его голою скалою.

5 Местом для расстилания сетей будет он среди моря; ибо Я сказал это, говорит Господь Бог: и будет он на расхищение народам.

6 А дочери его, которые на земле, убиты будут мечом,и узнают, что Я Господь.

7 Ибо так говорит Господь Бог: вот, Я приведу против Тира от севераНавуходоносора, царя Вавилонского, царя царей, с конями и с колесницами, и со всадниками, и с войском, и с многочисленным народом.

8 Дочерей твоих на земле он побьет мечом и устроит против тебя осадные башни, и насыплет против тебя вал, и поставит против тебя щиты;

9 и к стенам твоим придвинет стенобитные машины и башни твои разрушит секирами своими.

10 От множества коней его покроет тебя пыль, от шума всадников и колес и колесниц потрясутся стены твои, когда он будет входитьв ворота твои, как входят в разбитый город.

11 Копытами коней своих он истопчет все улицы твои, народ твой побьет мечом и памятники могущества твоего повергнет на землю.

12 И разграбят богатство твое, и расхитят товары твои, и разрушат стены твои, и разобьют красивые домы твои, и камни твои и дерева твои, и землю твою бросят в воду.

13 И прекращу шум песней твоих, и звук цитр твоих уже не будет слышен.

14 И сделаю тебя голою скалою, будешь местом для расстилания сетей; не будешь вновь построен: ибо Я, Господь, сказал это, говорит Господь Бог.

15 Так говорит Господь Бог Тиру: от шума падения твоего, от стона раненых, когда будет производимо среди тебя избиение, несодрогнутся ли острова?

16 И сойдут все князья моря с престолов своих, и сложат с себя мантии свои, и снимут с себя узорчатые одежды свои, облекутся в трепет, сядут на землю, и ежеминутно будут содрогаться и изумляться отебе.

17 И поднимут плач о тебе и скажут тебе: как погиб ты, населенный мореходцами, город знаменитый, который был силен на море, сам и жители его,наводившие страх на всех обитателей его!

18 Ныне, в день падения твоего, содрогнулись острова; острова на море приведены в смятение погибелью твоею.

19 Ибо так говорит Господь Бог: когда Я сделаю тебя городом опустелым, подобным городам необитаемым, когда подниму на тебя пучину, и покроюттебя большие воды;

20 тогда низведу тебя с отходящими в могилу к народу давно бывшему, и помещу тебя в преисподних земли, в пустынях вечных, с отшедшими в могилу, чтобы тыне был более населен; и явлю Я славу на земле живых.

21 Ужасом сделаю тебя, и не будет тебя, и будут искатьтебя, но уже не найдут тебя во веки, говорит Господь Бог.

6419. 'Daughters, [each one] marches onto the wall' means going out to fight against falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'a daughter' as the Church, dealt with in 2362, 3963, here the spiritual Church since that Church is the subject; and from the meaning of 'marching onto the wall' as going out to fight against falsity, as is evident from the words that immediately follow - 'they exasperate him and shoot at him and hate him, do the archers; and he will sit in the strength of his bow', meaning the fight put up by falsity against truth.

[2] The expression 'marches onto the wall' is used because the subject in the internal sense is the attack made by falsities on truth and the protection of truth against falsity; for the spiritual Church represented by 'Joseph' is constantly under attack, but the Lord is constantly protecting it. This explains why in the Word all that makes up that Church is compared to a city with a wall, rampart, gates, and bars; and attacks made on the city describe attacks made on truth by falsities. Hence it also is that 'a city' means matters of doctrine, 402, 2268, 2449, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493, and 'a wall' the truths of faith that serve to defend, or in the contrary sense falsities that serve to destroy. The first meaning - the truths of faith that serve to defend - may be seen in Isaiah,

Ours is a strong city; He will establish salvation for walls and rampart. Open the gates, so that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in. Isaiah 26:1-2.

In the same prophet,

You will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. Isaiah 60:18.

In the same prophet,

Behold, I have engraved you upon [My] hands, your walls are continually before Me. Isaiah 49:16

'Walls' stands for the truths of faith. In the same prophet,

Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen, all day and night they will not be silent, calling Jehovah to mind. Isaiah 62:6.

Here the meaning is similar. In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, the God of Israel, 1 I will convert the weapons of war with which you are fighting with the king of Babel, besieging you outside the wall; I Myself will fight with you with an outstretched hand. Jeremiah 21:4-5.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah thought to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He caused rampart and wall to mourn; they will languish together. Her gates have sunk into the earth, He has destroyed and broken in pieces her bars. Lamentations 2:8-9.

In Ezekiel,

The sons of Arvad, and your army, were on your walls round about, and the Gammadim were in your towers; they hung their shields on your walls round about and they made perfect your beauty. Ezekiel 27:11.

This refers to Tyre, which means cognitions of good and truth.

[3] The fact that such things are meant by a city and its walls becomes perfectly clear from the description of the holy Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, as seen by John. From every detail of the description it is evident that a new Church is meant by that city; and by its wall is meant Divine Truth going forth from the Lord. The city is depicted in John as follows,

The holy Jerusalem coming down from heaven, having a wall great and high, having twelve gates - the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. He who talked to me measured the city and its gates, and its wall. Its wall was a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The structure of the wall was jasper, and the city pure gold, like pure glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. Revelation 21:10, 12, 14, 15, 17-19.

[4] The fact that 'the wall' means Divine Truth going forth from the Lord, and from this means the truth of faith coming out of the good of charity, is evident from the details regarding the wall that are mentioned in that description, such as the detail that the wall had twelve foundations, and in them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb; for 'twelve means all, 3272, 3858, 3913, and 'the wall and its foundations' the truths of faith - much the same as is meant by 'the twelve apostles', 3488, 3858 (end), 6397. Then there is the detail that the wall was a hundred and forty-four cubits high, much the same being meant by that number as by twelve, which is all, since it is the product of twelve multiplied by twelve. And since that number used in reference to the wall means all truths and goods of faith, the expression 'which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel' is added. Other details that are given are that the structure of the wall was jasper, and that its foundations were adorned with every precious stone; for 'jasper' and 'precious stones' mean the truths of faith, 114.

[5] The meaning of 'wall' in the contrary sense - falsities that serve to destroy - is evident from the following places: In Isaiah,

A day of tumult in the valley of vision. The Lord Jehovih Zebaoth has destroyed the wall, so that there is a shout towards the mountain. For Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men (homo), [and] horsemen. The horsemen surely positioned themselves right at the gate. Isaiah 22:5-7.

In the same prophet,

The defence-work of your walls providing refuge 2 He will pull down, cast down, lay flat on the ground, 3 right down into the dust. Isaiah 25:12.

In Jeremiah,

Go up onto its walls and throw down. Jeremiah 5:10.

In the same prophet,

I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, which will consume the palaces of Benhadad. Jeremiah 49:27.

In the same prophet,

Raise a standard against the walls of Babel, keep watch, post watchmen. Jeremiah 51:12.

In Ezekiel,

They will overturn the walls of Tyre, and destroy her towers, and I will scrape her dust from her and make her a bare rock. Ezekiel 16:4, 8-9, 11.
