Jezekilj 47

Studie

   

1 Potom odvede me opet k vratima od doma, i gle, voda izlažaše ispod praga od doma k istoku, jer lice domu beše prema istoku; i voda tečaše dole s desne strane doma, s južne strane oltara.

2 Potom me izvede vratima severnim, i provede me okolo spoljašnjim putem k spoljašnjim vratima, putem koji gleda na istok, i gle, voda tečaše s desne strane.

3 I kad čovek iziđe na istok s merom u ruci, izmeri hiljadu lakata, i prevede me preko vode, i voda beše do gležanja.

4 Potom opet izmeri hiljadu lakata, i prevede me preko vode, a voda beše do kolena; opet izmeri hiljadu lakata, i prevede me, a voda beše do pojasa.

5 I opet izmeri hiljadu lakata, i posta reka, koje ne mogoh preći, jer voda ustade da trebaše plivati, posta reka koja se ne može pregaziti.

6 Tada mi reče: Vide li, sine čovečji? I odvede me i povrati me na breg reci.

7 A kad se vratih, gle, po bregu reci vrlo mnogo drva otud i odovud.

8 I reče mi: Ova voda teče u Galileju prvu, i spušta se u polje, i uteče u more, i kad dođe u more, njegova će voda postati zdrava.

9 I sve životinje što se miču kuda god dođu ove reke, biće žive i biće veliko mnoštvo riba, jer kad dođe ova voda onamo, druga će postati zdrava, i sve će biti živo gde ova reka dođe.

10 I ribari će stajati kraj njega od Engada do En-eglaima i razapinjati mreže; i biće riba svakojakih vrlo mnogo kao u velikom moru.

11 A bare njegove i glibovi neće biti zdravi, nego će ostati slani.

12 A kraj reke po bregu otud i odovud rašće drveta svakojaka rodna, kojima lišće neće opadati niti će roda na njima nestajati; svakog će meseca rađati nov rod, jer joj voda teče iz svetinje; zato će rod njihov biti za jelo i lišće njihovo za lek.

13 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ovo su međe u kojima ćete naslediti zemlju po dvanaest plemena Izrailjevih: Josifu dva dela.

14 Nasledićete je kako jedan tako drugi, za koju podigoh ruku svoju da ću je dati ocima vašim; i pripašće vam ta zemlja u nasledstvo.

15 Ovo je dakle međa zemlje: na severnoj strani od velikog mora na Etlon kako se ide u Sedad,

16 Emat, Virota, Sivrajim, koji je između međe damaštanske i međe ematske, Asaratihon, koji je na međi avranskoj.

17 Tako će biti međe od mora Asarenan, međa damaštanska i severna strana na sever, i međa ematska; to je severna strana.

18 A istočnu stranu izmerite od Avrana i od Damaska i od Galada i od zemlje Izrailjeve na Jordanu, od te međe do mora istočnog. I to je istočna strana.

19 A južna strana prema jugu od Tamara do vode Merive u Kadisu, duž potoka do velikog mora. I to je južna strana prema jugu.

20 A zapadna će strana biti veliko more, od te međe do prema ulasku u Emat; to je zapadna strana.

21 I razdelite tu zemlju među se po plemenima Izrailjevim.

22 A razdelite je u nasledstvo među se i među inostrance koji se bave među vama, koji bi izrodili sinove među vama, i oni neka su vam kao domorodac među sinovima Izrailjevim, s vama neka dobiju nasledstvo među plemenima Izrailjevim.

23 I u kome se plemenu inostranac bavi, u onom mu podajte nasledstvo, govori Gospod Gospod.

1250. That 'the mountain of the east' means charity, indeed charity from the Lord, is clear from the meaning of 'a mountain' in the Word as love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, as shown already in 795. And that 'the east' means the Lord, and consequently the celestial things of love and charity, see again what has appeared already in 101, and also in the following places: In Ezekiel,

The cherubs lifted up their wings. The glory of Jehovah went up from over the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain, which is on the east of the city. Ezekiel 11:22-23.

Here 'the mountain which is on the east' means nothing other than the celestial manifestation of the love and the charity that is the Lord's, for it is said that 'the glory of Jehovah stood there'. In the same prophet,

He brought me to the gate, to the gate facing the way of the east. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. Ezekiel 43:1-2.

Here 'the east' has a similar meaning.

[2] In the same prophet,

And he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces the east, and it was shut. And Jehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut and not opened, and no man shall enter by it; but Jehovah, the God of Israel, will enter by it. Ezekiel 44:1-2.

Here similarly 'the east' stands for the celestial manifestation of the love that is the Lord's alone. In the same prophet,

When the prince makes a freewill offering, a burnt offering, and peace offerings, as a freewill offering to Jehovah, one shall open for him the gate facing towards the east, and he shall make his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he shall do on the sabbath day Ezekiel 46:12.

Here similarly it stands for that which is celestial, which essentially is love to the Lord.

[3] In the same prophet,

He brought me back to the door of the house, and behold, waters were issuing out from below the threshold of the house towards the east, for the house faced east. Ezekiel 47:1, 8.

This refers to the new Jerusalem 'The east' stands for the Lord, and so for the celestial manifestation of love, while 'waters' means things that are spiritual. Here the same is meant by 'the mountain of the east'. Furthermore those who dwelt in Syria were called 'the sons of the east', who will in the Lord's Divine mercy be spoken of later on.
