Jezekilj 30

Studie

   

1 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji prorokuj i reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ridajte: Jaoh dana!

3 Jer je blizu dan, blizu je dan Gospodnji, oblačan dan, vreme narodima.

4 I mač će doći na Misir, i strah će biti u etiopskoj, kad stanu padati pobijeni u Misiru, kad se zarobi mnoštvo njegovo i raskopaju se temelji njegovi.

5 Etiopljani i Puteji i Ludeji i sva mešavina i Huveji i sinovi zemalja među kojima je vera, pašće s njima od mača.

6 Ovako veli Gospod: Pašće koji podupiru Misir, i ponos sile njegove oboriće se, od kule sinske pašće u njemu, govori Gospod Gospod.

7 I biće pusti među pustim zemljama, i gradovi će njegovi biti među pustim gradovima.

8 I poznaće da sam ja Gospod kad zapalim oganj u Misiru i svi se pomoćnici njegovi satru.

9 U onaj će dan izaći poslanici od mene na lađama da uplaše etiopsku bezbrižnu, i biće među njima strah velik kao dana misirskog; jer evo, ide.

10 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Pogubiću mnoštvo misirsko rukom Navuhodonosora cara vavilonskog.

11 On i narod njegov s njim, najljući između naroda, biće dovedeni da zatru zemlju, i izvući će mačeve svoje na Misir i napuniće zemlju pobijenih.

12 I isušiću reke, i predaću zemlju u ruke zlim ljudima; i opusteću zemlju i šta je u njoj rukom tuđinskom. Ja Gospod govorih.

13 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: i gadne ću bogove potrti, i istrebiću likove u Nofu, i neće više biti kneza iz zemlje misirske, i pustiću strah u zemlju misirsku.

14 I opustošiću Patros, i upaliću Soan, i izvršiću sud na Novu.

15 I izliću gnev svoj na Sin, grad misirski, i istrebiću ljudstvo u Novu.

16 Kad zapalim oganj u Misiru, ljuto će se uzmučiti Sin, i Nov će se raspasti, i Nof će biti u teskobi svaki dan.

17 Mladići avinski i pi-vesetski pašće od mača, a devojke će otići u ropstvo.

18 I u Tafnesu će pomrknuti dan kad polomim onde prevornice misirske i nestane u njemu ponosa sile njegove; oblak će ga pokriti; a kćeri će njegove otići u ropstvo.

19 I izvršiću sudove na Misiru, i oni će poznati da sam ja Gospod.

20 Opet jedanaeste godine, prvog meseca, sedmog dana, dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

21 Sine čovečji, slomih mišicu Faraonu caru misirskom, i eto neće se zaviti da se leči, neće se metnuti zavoj niti će se zaviti da bi se okrepila i mogla držati mač.

22 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Evo me na Faraona cara misirskog, i slomiću mu mišice, i zdravu i slomljenu, i izbiću mu mač iz ruke.

23 I rasejaću Misirce po narodima, i razasuću ih po zemljama.

24 I ukrepiću mišicu caru vavilonskom, i daću mu u ruku svoj mač, i polomiću mišice Faraonu, i ječaće pred njim kao što ječi čovek ranjen na smrt.

25 Da, ukrepiću mišice caru vavilonskom, a Faraonu će mišice klonuti, i poznaće se da sam ja Gospod, kad dam mač svoj u ruku caru vavilonskom da njim zamahne na zemlju misirsku.

26 I rasejaću Misirce među narodima i razasuću ih po zemljama, i poznaće da sam ja Gospod.

488. As has been stated, 'days' means states in general, and 'years' states in particular. This too becomes clear from the Word, as in Ezekiel,

You have brought your days near, and you have come even to your years. Ezekiel 22:4.

This refers to people who behave abominably and sin to the fullest extent, and so 'days' has reference in this case to such people's state in general, 'years' to that state in particular.

In David,

You will add days to the king's days; and his years as generation after generation! Psalms 61:6.

This refers to the Lord and His kingdom, where again 'days' and 'years' stand for the state of His kingdom.

In the same author,

I have considered the days of old, the years of long ago. Psalms 77:5.

Here 'days of old' is states of the Most Ancient Church, and 'years of long ago' states of the Ancient Church. In Isaiah,

The day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. Isaiah 63:4.

This stands for the final times, where 'the day of vengeance' stands for a state of condemnation, and 'the year of the redeemed' for a state of blessedness.

Similarly, in the same prophet,

To proclaim the year of Jehovah's good pleasure, and the day of vengeance for our God; to comfort all who mourn. Isaiah 61:2.

Here again 'days' and also 'years' are mentioned and mean states.

In Jeremiah,

Renew our days as of old. Lamentations 5:21.

Here 'days' plainly stands for state.

[2] In Joel,

The day of Jehovah is coming, for it is near, a day of darkness and thick darkness, a tiny of cloud and gloom, as has never happened of old, nor will be again after it through the years of generation after generation. Joel 2:1-2, 11.

Here 'day' stands for a state of darkness, thick darkness, cloud and gloom - a state of individuals in particular and of all in general.

In Zechariah,

I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. On that day you will shout, each to his companion, under his vine and under his fig tree. Zechariah 3:9-10.

And elsewhere in Zechariah,

There will be one tiny, it is known to Jehovah, which is neither day nor night, and at evening time there will be light. Zechariah 14:7.

State is clearly meant here, for it is said that 'it will be a day, which is neither day nor night; at evening time there will be light'.

The same meaning is also clear from the following in the Decalogue,

Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with you in the land. Deuteronomy 5:16; 25:15.

Here 'a prolonging of days' does not mean living on into old age but a state that is happy.

[3] In the sense of the letter 'day' cannot be seen to mean anything other than a period of time, but in the internal sense it means a state. Angels, who abide in the internal sense of the Word, do not know what a period of time is, for the activity of the sun and moon with them does not produce divisions of time. As a consequence they do not know what a day or a year is, but only what states and changes of state are. This is why among angels, who abide in the internal sense of the Word, anything connected with matter, space, and time, goes unnoticed, as with the following usages in the sense of the letter in Ezekiel,

The day is near, even the day of Jehovah is near, a day of cloud; it will be a time of the nations. Ezekiel 30:3.

And in Joel,

Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is near, and as destruction. Joel 1:15.

Here 'a day of cloud' stands for cloud or falsity, 'a day of the nations' for the nations or wickedness, and 'the day of Jehovah' for vastation. When the concept of time is removed there remains the concept of the state of the things existing during that period of time. The same applies to the days and the years that are mentioned so many times in this chapter.
