Jezekilj 2

Studie

   

1 I reče mi: Sine čovečji, ustani na noge da govorim s tobom.

2 I uđe u me duh kad mi progovori, i postavi me na noge, i slušah Onog koji mi govoraše.

3 I reče mi: Sine čovečji, ja te šaljem k sinovima Izrailjevim, k narodima odmetničkim, koji se odmetnuše mene; oni i oci njihovi biše mi neverni do ovog dana.

4 K sinovima tvrdog obraza i upornog srca šaljem te ja, pa im reci: Tako veli Gospod;

5 I poslušali ili ne poslušali, jer su dom odmetnički, neka znaju da je prorok bio među njima.

6 I ti, sine čovečji, ne boj ih se niti se boj njihovih reči, što su ti uporni i kao trnje i živiš među skorpijama; ne boj se njihovih reči i ne plaši se od njih što su dom odmetnički.

7 Nego im kaži reči moje, poslušali ili ne poslušali, jer su odmetnici.

8 Ali ti, sine čovečji, slušaj šta ću ti kazati, ne budi nepokoran kao taj dom nepokorni; otvori usta, i pojedi šta ću ti dati.

9 I pogledah, a to ruka pružena k meni, i gle, u njoj savijena knjiga.

10 I razvi je preda mnom, i beše ispisana iznutra i spolja, i beše u njoj napisan plač i naricanje i jaoh.

Scriptural Confirmations # 22

22. 20. (The Lord is described as to the Word appearing above the expanse of the cherubim (Ezekiel 1:26-28), and is called the Lord Jehovih (Ezekiel 2:4; 3:11, 27; 4:14; 5:7-8, 11; 6:3, 11; 7:2, 5; 8:1 seq.). Then he is called the God of Israel (8:4, especially 11:22-23).

I will raise up one shepherd over them, who shall feed them, My servant David. I, Jehovah, will be a God to them, and My servant David a prince in the midst of them. Then will I destroy for them the covenant of peace (Ezekiel 34:23-25).

My servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them to eternity. Thus shall My habitation be with them; and I will be God to them, moreover they shall be a people to Me (Ezekiel 37:24-25). Throughout the chapter the regeneration of man in the New Church is treated of, for this is meant by the dry bones, and by the two sticks which were one.

In that day will I make a covenant with the beast of the field and with the bird of the heavens, and I will break war from the earth, and make them to lie down securely. And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever, and I will betroth thee unto Me in justice and in judgment and in mercy, and I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness, and thou shalt know Jehovah. And it shall be in that day that I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth (Hosea 2:18-21).

I have consecrated their gain, and their wealth unto the Lord of the whole earth (Micah 4:13).

(Thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou art little among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me, that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity. Then shall he stand and feed in the strength of Jehovah, in the excellency of the name of his God; and they shall abide; for now shall he increase unto the ends of the earth (Micah 5:2-4). He will give them until the time, until the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the sons of Israel (verse 2). Concerning the New Church (4:5, seq.).)
