Jezekilj 12

1 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, usred doma odmetničkog sediš, koji ima oči da vidi i ne vidi, ima uši da čuje i ne čuje; jer su dom odmetnički.

3 Zato ti, sine čovečji, spremi šta treba za seobu, i seli se obdan na njihove oči; i iseli se iz svog mesta na drugo mesto na njihove oči, ne bi li videli, jer su dom odmetnički.

4 I iznesi stvari svoje kao kad se ko seli obdan na njihove oči, a sam iziđi uveče na njihove oči kao oni koji se sele.

5 Na njihove oči prokopaj zid i iznesi svoje stvari.

6 Na njihove oči digni na ramena i iznesi po mraku, lice svoje pokrij da ne vidiš zemlje, jer te dadoh da budeš znak u domu Izrailjevom.

7 I učinih tako kako mi se zapovedi; stvari svoje iznesoh obdan kao kad se seli; a uveče prokopah zid rukom; i po mraku iznesoh na ramenima noseći na njihove oči.

8 A u jutru dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

9 Sine čovečji, reče li ti dom Izrailjev, dom odmetnički: Šta radiš?

10 Reci im: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ovo je breme za kneza, koji je u Jerusalimu, i za sav dom Izrailjev što je onde.

11 Reci: Ja sam vam znak, kako ja učinih tako će im biti; preseliće se i otići u ropstvo.

12 I knez koji je među njima noseći na ramenima po mraku će izaći; oni će prokopati zid da iznesu, on će pokriti lice svoje da ne vidi zemlje očima.

13 Ali ću mu razapeti mrežu svoju i uhvatiće se u zamku moju, i odvešću ga u Vavilon, u zemlju haldejsku, ali je neće videti, a onde će umreti.

14 I sve koji su oko njega, pomoćnike njegove, i svu vojsku njegovu, rasejaću u sve vetrove, i izvući ću mač za njima.

15 I poznaće da sam ja Gospod, kad ih rasejem po narodima, i razaspem po zemljama.

16 A ostaviću ih nekoliko ljudi koji će ostati od mača i od gladi i od pomora da pripovedaju sve gadove svoje među narodima u koje otidu; i poznaće da sam ja Gospod.

17 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

18 Sine čovečji, hleb svoj jedi prezajući i vodu svoju pij drhćući i brinući se.

19 I reci narodu zemaljskom: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod za stanovnike jerusalimske, za zemlju Izrailjevu: hleb će svoj jesti u brizi i vodu će svoju piti prepadajući se, jer će zemlja opusteti i ostati bez svega što je u njoj za bezakonje svih koji žive u njoj.

20 I gradovi u kojima žive opusteće, i zemlja će biti pusta, i poznaćete da sam ja Gospod.

21 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

22 Sine čovečji, kakva je to priča u vas o zemlji Izrailjevoj što govorite: Protežu se dani, i od utvare neće biti ništa?

23 Zato im reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ukinuću tu priču i neću je više govoriti u Izrailju; nego im reci: Blizu su dani i reč svake utvare.

24 Jer neće više biti u domu Izrailjevom zaludne utvare ni gatanja kojim se laska.

25 Jer ću ja, Gospod, govoriti i šta kažem zbiće se; neće se više odgađati, nego za vašeg vremena, dome odmetnički, reći ću reč i izvršiću je, govori Gospod Gospod.

26 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

27 Sine čovečji, gle, dom Izrailjev govori: Utvara koju taj vidi, do nje ima mnogo vremena, i za daleko vreme taj prorokuje.

28 Zato im reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Neće se više odgađati ni jedna moja reč; reč koju kažem zbiće se, govori Gospod Gospod.

Apocalypse Explained # 745

/ 1232  
  

745. Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, signifies that now the Lord has power by His Divine truth to save those who are of His church, who receive Divine truth in heart and soul. This is evident from the signification of "salvation," as being to be saved; and from the signification of "power," as being to have ability, thus possibility (of which presently); from the signification of "kingdom," as being heaven and the church (See above, n. 48, 685); from the signification of "our God," as being the Lord in relation to His Divine; and from the signification of "the authority of His Christ," as being the efficacy of Divine truth, thus by means of Divine truth. That "the Christ" means the Lord in relation to Divine truth may be seen above (n. 684, 685); and that "authority" signifies, in reference to the Lord, the salvation of the human race, may be seen above n. 293; and that the Lord has power to save by means of His Divine truth (n. 333, 726); and because the Lord can save only those who receive Divine truth from Him with heart and soul, this too is signified. From this it is clear that "Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ," signifies that now the Lord has power by His Divine truth to save those who are of His church who receive Divine truth with heart and soul.

[2] It is said "who receive with heart and soul," meaning with love and faith, likewise with the will and understanding; for in the Word when "soul and heart" are both mentioned "soul" signifies faith, likewise understanding, and "heart" signifies love, likewise will; for soul [anima] means there in the ultimate sense the respiration of man, which is also called his "spirit" [or breath], and the verb animare means to respire; also when a man dies he is said "to give up the ghost" [emittere animam et spirituum]. Moreover, it is also from correspondence that "soul" signifies faith, also the understanding, and that "heart" signifies love, as also the will; for faith and understanding correspond to the breathing [animatio] or respiration of the lungs, and the love and will correspond to the motion and pulsation of the heart (on which correspondence see above, n. 167; and the Arcana Coelestia 2930, 3883-3896, 9050).

[3] "Now is come the salvation and the power of our God" signifies that the Lord is now able to save; so "power" here signifies to have ability, thus the possibility, because the Lord could not save those who were of His church before the dragon with his angels had been driven out, that is, separated from heaven. One who does not know the laws of Divine order might believe that the Lord can save anyone He pleases, thus the evil as well as the good; and for this reason some are of the opinion that in the end all who are in hell will be saved. But that no one can be saved by immediate mercy, but only by mediate, and that still it is from pure mercy, that those who receive Divine truth from the Lord in soul and heart are saved, may be seen in the work on Heaven and Hell 521-527.

[4] This is also meant by these words in John:

His own received Him not; but as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become sons of God, to them that believe on His name; who were born not of bloods nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:11-13).

"His own" who received Him not mean those who are of the church where the Word is, and to whom the Lord could be known through the Word; therefore those who were of the Jewish Church are here meant by "His own." That the Lord would "give to those that believe on His name power to become sons of God" signifies that He gives heaven to those 1 who receive Divine truths from Him in soul and heart, or in faith and life; "to believe on His name" meaning to receive the Lord in faith and life, for "the name of the Lord" signifies everything by which He is worshiped; "sons of God" mean those who are regenerated by the Lord; "who are born not of bloods" signifies who have not falsified and adulterated the Word; "nor of the will of the flesh" signifies who are not in evils from what is their own [proprium]; "nor of the will of man" signifies who are not in falsities from what is their own [proprium], for the "will" signifies what is man's own [proprium], "flesh" signifies evil, and "man" [vir] signifies falsity; "but born of God" signifies those who have been regenerated by truths from the Word and by a life according to them. From this it can be seen that those who are not willing to be reformed and regenerated by the Lord, which is effected by the reception of Divine truth in faith and life, cannot be saved.
