Jezekilj 32

1 Opet dvanaeste godine, dvanaestog meseca, prvog dana, dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, nariči za Faraonom carem misirskim, i reci mu: Ti si kao lavićmeđu narodima i kao zmaj u moru, i prolaziš reke svoje i mutiš vodu nogama svojim i gaziš po rekama njenim.

3 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Razapeću ti mrežu svoju sa zborom mnogih naroda, i izvući će te u mojoj mreži.

4 I ostaviću te na zemlji, i baciću te u polje, i pustiću sve ptice nebeske da sedaju na te, i nasitiću tobom zveri sa sve zemlje.

5 I razmetnuću meso tvoje po gorama i napuniću doline gomilama od tebe.

6 I zemlju gde plivaš napojiću krvlju tvojom do vrh gora, i potoci će biti puni tebe.

7 I kad te ugasim, zastreću nebo, i zvezde na njemu pomračiti, sunce ću zakloniti oblakom, i mesec neće svetliti svetlošću svojom.

8 Sva ću svetla videla na nebu pomračiti za tobom, i pustiću tamu na tvoju zemlju, govori Gospod Gospod.

9 I ustrašiću srce mnogih naroda kad objavim propast tvoju među narodima, po zemljama kojih ne znaš.

10 I udiviću tobom mnoge narode, i carevi će se njihovi zgroziti od tebe, kad mahnem mačem svojim pred njima, i drhtaće svaki čas svaki za dušu svoju u dan kad padneš.

11 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Mač cara vavilonskog doći će na te.

12 Mačevima junačkim povaljaću mnoštvo tvoje, mačevima najljućih između naroda; one će razoriti ponos Misiru, i sve će se mnoštvo njegovo potrti.

13 I potrću svu stoku njegovu pokraj velikih voda, te ih neće više mutiti noga čovečija niti će ih papak od kakve životinje mutiti.

14 Tada ću stišati vodu njihovu, i učiniću da potoci njihovi teku kao ulje, govori Gospod Gospod.

15 Kad opustim zemlju misirsku i ona bude bez svega što je u njoj, i pobijem sve koji žive u njoj, tada će poznati da sam ja Gospod.

16 Ovo je naricanje što će se naricati; tako će naricati kćeri narodne, za Misirom i za svim mnoštvom njegovim naricaće, govori Gospod Gospod.

17 Po tom dvanaeste godine, petnaesti dan istog meseca, dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

18 Sine čovečji, nariči za mnoštvom misirskim, i svali njih i kćeri jakih naroda u najdonji kraj zemlje s onima koji silaze u jamu.

19 Od koga si lepši? Siđi i lezi s neobrezanima.

20 Pašće posred pobijenih mačem, mač je dat, vucite ga i sve mnoštvo njegovo.

21 Govoriće mu najhrabriji junaci isred groba s pomoćnicima njegovim, koji siđoše i leže neobrezani, pobijeni mačem.

22 Onde je Asirac i sav zbor njegov, grobovi su mu oko njega, svi su pobijeni, pali od mača.

23 Grobovi su mu u dnu jame, a zbor mu je oko njegovog groba; svi su pobijeni, pali od mača, koji zadavahu strah zemlji živih.

24 Onde je Elam i sve mnoštvo njegovo oko njegovog groba; svi su pobijeni, pali od mača, koji siđoše neobrezani na najdonji kraj zemlje, koji zadavahu strah zemlji živih; i nose sramotu svoju s onima koji silaze u jamu.

25 Među pobijenima namestiše postelju njemu i svemu mnoštvu njegovom, grobovi su mu oko njega, svi su neobrezani pobijeni mačem, koji zadavahu strah zemlji živih; i nose sramotu svoju s onima koji silaze u jamu, metnuti su među pobijene.

26 Onde je Meseh, Tuval i sve mnoštvo njegovo, grobovi su mu oko njega, svi su neobrezani pobijeni mačem, koji zadavahu strah zemlji živih.

27 Ali ne leže među junacima koji padoše između neobrezanih, koji siđoše u grob s oružjem svojim, i metnuše mačeve pod glave svoje, i bezakonje njihovo leži na kostima njihovim, ako i behu junaci strašni na zemlji živih.

28 I ti ćeš se satrti među neobrezanima, i ležaćeš kod pobijenih mačem.

29 Onde je Edom, carevi njegovi i svi knezovi njegovi, koji su sa silom svojom metnuti među pobijene mačem; leže među neobrezanima i s onima koji siđoše u jamu.

30 Onde su svi knezovi severni i svi Sidonci, koji siđoše k pobijenima sa strahom svojim, stideći se sile svoje; i leže neobrezani s onima koji su pobijeni mačem, i nose sramotu svoju s onima koji siđoše u jamu.

31 Njih će videti Faraon, i utešiće se za svim mnoštvom svojim, Faraon i sva vojska njegova, pobijeni mačem, govori Gospod Gospod.

32 Jer zadadoh svoj strah zemlji živih, i Faraon će i sve mnoštvo njegovo ležati među neobrezanima s onima koji su pobijeni mačem, govori Gospod Gospod.

5. II. THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR SUCCESSIVE STATES, OR PERIODS, OF EACH CHURCH, WHICH IN THE WORD ARE MEANT BY "MORNING, "DAY," "EVENING," AND "NIGHT." That there have been four successive states, or periods, of every one of these Churches above-named, will be illustrated in the following pages, wherein each will be dealt with in its turn. They are described by those alternations of time, because every man who is born in the Church, or in whom the Church has commenced, first comes into its light such as that is in the dawn and morning; afterwards, he advances to its day, and, he who loves its truths, right on to its mid-day; if he then stops in the way, and does not advance into the heat of spring and summer, his day declines towards evening, till at length, like the light at night-time, it grows dark; and then his intelligence in the spiritual things of the Church becomes a cold light, like the light of the days in winter, when he indeed sees the trees standing beside his house, or in his gardens, but stripped of leaves and destitute of fruits-thus, like bare trunks. For, the man of the Church advances from morning to day, to the end that he may be reformed and regenerated by means of the light of reason, which only takes place by a life according to the Commandments of the Lord in the Word. If this does not take place, his light becomes darkness, and the darkness, thick darkness; that is, the truths of light with him are turned into falsities, and the falsities into unseen evils. It is otherwise with the man who suffers himself to be regenerated: night does not overtake him, for he walks in God, and hence is continually in the day; into which, also, he fully enters after death, when he is associated with angels in heaven. This is understood by the following words in the Apocalypse, concerning the New Jerusalem, which is the New Church, truly Christian:

That city shall have no need of the sun and of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God shall lighten it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. And the nations which are saved shall walk in the light of it; and there shall be no night there (Rev. 21:23-24, 25; Ezek. 32:8; Amos 5:20; 8:9).

That the successive states of the Church are understood by "morning," "day," "evening," and "night," in the Word, is evident from the following passages therein:

Watch, for ye know not when the Lord of the house will come, at even, or at mid-night, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning (Mark 13:35; Matt. 25:13).

The subject there treated of is the Consummation of the Age, and the coming of the Lord at that time.

The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spake to me: He is as the morning light, a morning without clouds (2 Sam. 23:3-4).

I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and morning Star (Rev. 22:16).

God shall help her, when the morning appeareth (Psalm 46:5).

He is calling to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night (Isa. 21:11-12).

An evil, one evil, behold, is come. The end is come [The morning is come] upon thee, O inhabitant of the land; the time is come, the day is near. Behold the day, behold, it is come; the morning hath gone forth (Ezek. 7:5, 6, 7, 10).

There shall be a day... which shall be known to Jehovah; not day nor night; for about the time of evening there shall be light (Zech. 14:7).

About the time of evening, behold, terror; before the morning, he is not (Isa. 17:14).

In the evening; weeping will endure all night, but singing in the morning (Psalm 30:5).

Even to the evening and the morning, 1 two thousand three hundred; then shall the holy place be justified:... the vision of the evening and the morning is true (Dan. 8:14, 26).

Jehovah in the morning will bring His judgment to light; He will not fail (Zeph. 3:5).

Thus said Jehovah, If ye have made void My covenant of the day and My covenant of the night, so that there be not day and night in their season, My covenant also shall be made void with David My servant (Jer. 33:20-21, 25).

Jesus said, I must work the works of God while it is day; the night cometh when no one can work (John 9:4).

In this night there shall be two men on one bed; one shall be taken, but the other shall be left (Luke 17:34).

In these passages, the Consummation of the Age and the Coming of the Lord are treated of. Hence it may be evident what is meant by there being

Time no longer (Rev. 10:6),

namely, that there would be no morning, day, or evening in the Church, but night; likewise what is meant by

Time, times, and half a time (Rev. 12:14; Dan. 12:7); as also what is meant by the

Fulness of time (Ephes. 1:10; Gal. 4:4).
