Jezekilj 4

Studie

   

1 A ti, sine čovečji, uzmi opeku, i metni je preda se, i izreži na njoj grad Jerusalim.

2 I postavi oko njega opsadu, i načini kule prema njemu, i iskopaj oko njega opkop, i postavi vojsku oko njega, i namesti ubojne sprave oko njega.

3 Po tom uzmi tavicu gvozdenu, i metni je kao gvozden zid između sebe i grada, i okreni lice svoje suprot njemu, i on će se opsesti, i ti ćeš ga opsesti. To će biti znak domu Izrailjevom.

4 Potom lezi na levu stranu svoju, i metni na nju bezakonje doma Izrailjevog; koliko dana uzležiš na njoj toliko ćeš nositi njihovo bezakonje.

5 A ja ti dajem godine bezakonja njihova brojem dana, trista i devedeset dana, i toliko ćeš nositi bezakonje doma Izrailjevog.

6 A kad ih navršiš, onda lezi na desnu stranu svoju, i nosi bezakonje doma Judinog četrdeset dana; po jedan dan dajem ti za godinu.

7 I okreni lice svoje prema opkoljenom Jerusalimu zagalivši mišicu svoju, i prorokuj protiv njega.

8 I evo, vezaću te uzicama da se ne prevrneš s jedne strane na drugu dokle ne navršiš dane opsade tvoje.

9 I uzmi pšenice i ječma i boba i leća i prosa i krupnika, i saspi sve u jedan sud, i načini od toga sebi hleba prema broju dana u koje ćeš ležati na svojoj strani, tri stotine i devedeset dana ješćeš ga.

10 I jela tvog što ćeš jesti neka bude merom dvadeset sikala na dan; na rokove jedi ga.

11 I vodu pij merom, po šestinu ina, pij na rokove.

12 A hleb presan ječmen jedi, ispekavši ga na kalu čovečjem na njihove oči.

13 I reče Gospod: Tako će jesti sinovi Izrailjevi hleb svoj nečist među narodima u koje ću ih razagnati.

14 Tada rekoh: Ah Gospode Gospode, gle, duša se moja nije oskvrnila, jer od detinjstva svog do sada nisam jeo mrcinoga ni šta bi zverka razdrla, niti je ušlo u usta moja meso nečisto.

15 A On mi reče: Vidi, dajem ti goveđu balegu mesto čovečjeg kala, da na njoj ispečeš sebi hleb.

16 Zatim reče mi: Sine čovečji, evo ja ću slomiti potporu u hlebu u Jerusalimu, te će jesti hleb na meru i u brizi, i vodu će piti na meru i u čudu.

17 Jer će im nestati hleba i vode da će se čuditi među sobom i sasušiće se od bezakonja svog.

Jerusalem

  

Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.
