Jezekilj 24

Studie

   

1 Potom godine devete, desetog meseca, desetog dana, dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, zapiši ime ovog dana, ovog istog dana; u taj dan dođe car vavilonski na Jerusalim.

3 I kaži priču tom domu odmetničkom, i reci im: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: pristavi lonac, pristavi, i nalij u nj vode.

4 Složi u nj delove, sve dobre delove, stegno i pleće, i napuni ga najboljih kostiju.

5 Uzmi najbolje iz stada, i naloži kosti ispod njega, i uzvari dobro da se i kosti raskuvaju u njemu.

6 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Teško gradu krvničkom, loncu, na kome stoji zagorel, s kog neće da siđe zagorel; povadi deo po deo; žreb da se ne baci za nj.

7 Jer je krv njegova usred njega; na go kamen metnu je, ne proli je na zemlju da se pokrije prahom.

8 Raspalivši gnev da učinim osvetu, metnuću krv njegovu na go kamen da se ne pokrije.

9 Zato ovako govori Gospod Gospod: Teško gradu krvničkom! I ja ću naložiti velik oganj.

10 Nanesi drva, i raspali oganj, neka se straši meso, začini korenjem, i kosti neka izgore.

11 Metni ga praznog na živo ugljevlje da se ugreje i izgori bronza njegova i da se stopi u njemu nečistota njegova i da nestane zagoreli njegove.

12 Lažima dosadio mi je; zato neće izaći iz njega mnoga zagorel njegova; u oganj će zagorel njegova.

13 U nečistoti je tvojoj grdilo tvoje; jer sam te čistio, ali se ti ne očisti; nećeš se više čistiti od nečistote svoje, dokle ne namirim gnev svoj nad tobom.

14 Ja Gospod govorih; doći će, i izvršiću; neću odustati niti ću žaliti niti ću se raskajati, po putevima tvojim i po delima tvojim sudiće ti, govori Gospod Gospod.

15 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

16 Sine čovečji, evo ja ću ti uzeti želju očiju tvojih zlom, ali ne tuži ni plači, niti suza roni.

17 Nemoj uzdisati, ne žali kako biva za mrtvim, metni kapu na glavu, i obuću svoju obuj na noge, i usta svojih nemoj pokriti i hleba ničijeg ne jedi.

18 I govorih ujutru narodu, a uveče mi umre žena; i sutradan učinih kako mi beše zapoveđeno.

19 I reče mi narod: Hoćeš li nam kazati šta nam je to što radiš?

20 I odgovorih im: Dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

21 Reci domu Izrailjevom: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo, ja ću oskvrniti svetinju svoju, veličanstvo sile vaše, želju očiju vaših i šta je milo duši vašoj; i sinovi će vaši i kćeri vaše koje ostaviste pasti od mača.

22 I činićete kako ja činim: usta nećete pokriti i hleba ničijeg nećete jesti;

23 I kape će vam biti na glavama i obuća na nogama; nećete tužiti ni plakati, nego ćete sa bezakonja svojih čileti i uzdisaćete jedan s drugim.

24 I Jezekilj će vam biti znak: činićete sve što on čini; kad to dođe, poznaćete da sam ja Gospod Gospod.

25 A ti, sine čovečji, u onaj dan kad im uzmem silu njihovu, radost slave njihove, želju očiju njihovih i za čim teži duša njihova, sinove njihove i kćeri njihove,

26 U taj dan ko pobegne, neće li doći k tebi da ti donese glas?

27 U taj će se dan otvoriti usta tvoja prema onom ko pobegne, i govorićeš i nećeš više biti nem; i bićeš im znak, i oni će poznati da sam ja Gospod.

Sword

  

A 'sword,' as in Ezekiel 21:9-15, signifies a person so desolated that he can see nothing good and true, but only falsities and contradictions. A 'sword,' in the Word, signifies the truth of faith combating and the vastation of truth. In an opposite sense, it signifies falsity combating and the punishment of falsity.

The 'sword,' in Revelation 1:16, represents a dispersion of falsities by the Lord because the sword came out from His mouth, which means it comes from the Word. Because the Word is understood by doctrine taken from it, this is also symbolically meant. It is called a sharp two-edged sword because it pierces the heart and soul.

A 'flaming sword which turned every way,' as in Genesis 3:24, signifies divine truth in extremes, which, like the Word in its literal sense, can be turned.

Ezekiel 21

Studie

   

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop [your word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

3 and tell the land of Israel, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.

4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

5 and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.

6 Sigh therefore, you son of man; with the breaking of your thighs and with bitterness you will sigh before their eyes.

7 It shall be, when they tell you, Why do you sigh? that you shall say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh.

8 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh: say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;

10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it condemns every tree.

11 It is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the killer.

12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; strike therefore on your thigh.

13 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that condemns shall be no more? says the Lord Yahweh.

14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their rooms.

15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.

16 Gather yourselves together, go to the right, set yourselves in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.

17 I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

18 The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,

19 Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they both shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.

20 You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.

21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows back and forth, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.

22 In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.

23 It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you shall be taken with the hand.

25 You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,

26 thus says the Lord Yahweh: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; this [shall be] no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.

27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].

28 You, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;

29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end.

30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, will I judge you.

31 I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.

32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be remembered no more: for I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
