Ezequiel 24

Studie

   

1 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí en el noveno año, en el mes décimo, a los diez del mes, diciendo:

2 Hijo de hombre, escríbete el nombre de este día; el rey de Babilonia puso sitio sobre Jerusalén este mismo día.

3 Y habla a la casa de rebelión por parábola, y diles: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Pon una olla, ponla, y echa también en ella agua;

4 junta sus piezas de carne en ella; todas buenas piezas, pierna y espalda; llénala de huesos escogidos.

5 Toma una oveja escogida; y también enciende los huesos debajo de ella; haz que hierva bien; cuece también sus huesos dentro de ella.

6 Pues así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¡Ay de la ciudad de sangre, de la olla no espumada, y cuya espuma no salió de ella! Por sus piezas, por sus piezas sácala; no caiga sobre ella suerte (de herencia ).

7 Porque su sangre fue en medio de ella; sobre la cima de la piedra la puso; no la derramó sobre la tierra para que fuese cubierta con polvo.

8 Para hacer subir la ira para hacer venganza, yo puse su sangre sobre el lugar alto de la piedra, para que no sea cubierta.

9 Por tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¡Ay de la ciudad de sangre! Pues también haré yo gran hoguera,

10 multiplicando la leña, encendiendo el fuego, para consumir la carne, y hacer la salsa; y los huesos serán quemados;

11 asentando después la olla vacía sobre sus brasas, para que se caldee, y se queme su fondo, y se funda en ella su suciedad, y se consuma su espuma.

12 En fraude se cansó, y nunca salió de ella su mucha espuma. En fuego será su espuma consumida.

13 En tu suciedad perversa padecerás , porque te limpié, y tú no te limpiaste de tu suciedad; nunca más te limpiarás, hasta que yo haga descansar mi ira sobre ti.

14 Yo, el SEÑOR, hablé; vine, e hice. No me tornaré atrás, ni tendré misericordia, ni me arrepentiré; según tus caminos y tus obras te juzgarán, dijo el SEÑOR DIOS.

15 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

16 Hijo de hombre, he aquí que yo te quito por muerte el deseo de tus ojos; no endeches, ni llores, ni corran tus lágrimas.

17 Reprime el suspirar, no hagas luto de mortuorios; ata tu turbante sobre ti, y pon tus zapatos en tus pies, y no te cubras con rebozo, ni comas pan de consuelo.

18 Y hablé al pueblo por la mañana, y a la tarde murió mi mujer; y a la mañana hice como me fue mandado.

19 Y me dijo el pueblo: ¿No nos enseñarás qué nos significan estas cosas que tú haces?

20 Y yo les dije: Palabra del SEÑOR vino a mí, diciendo:

21 Di a la Casa de Israel: Así dijo el Señor Dios: He aquí yo profano mi santuario, la gloria de vuestra fortaleza, el deseo de vuestros ojos, y el regalo de vuestra alma; vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas que dejasteis, caerán a cuchillo.

22 Y haréis de la manera que yo hice; no os cubriréis con rebozo, ni comeréis pan de hombres;

23 y vuestros turbantes estarán sobre vuestras cabezas, y vuestros zapatos en vuestros pies; no endecharéis ni lloraréis, sino que os consumiréis a causa de vuestras maldades, y gemiréis unos con otros.

24 Ezequiel, pues, os será por señal; según todas las cosas que él hizo, haréis; al venir esto, entonces sabréis que yo soy el Señor DIOS.

25 Y tú, hijo de hombre, el día que yo quitare de ellos su fortaleza, el gozo de su gloria, el deseo de sus ojos, y el cuidado de sus almas, sus hijos y sus hijas,

26 este día vendrá a ti un escapado para traer las nuevas.

27 En aquel día se abrirá tu boca para hablar con el escapado, y hablarás, y no estarás más mudo; y les serás por señal, y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.

Say

  

As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.

3246. 'And to the concubines' sons, whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts' means that places in the Lord's spiritual kingdom were allotted to spiritual people adopted by the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'the concubines' sons' as those who are spiritual, to be dealt with below; from the representation of 'Abraham' here as the Lord's Divine Human (so that the words 'whom Abraham had' mean that they - those who were spiritual - were adopted by the Lord's Divine Human); and from the meaning of 'the gifts which Abraham gave them' as allotted places in the Lord's spiritual kingdom.

[2] From what has been shown several times already about those who constitute the Lord's spiritual kingdom and who are called the spiritual, as in 3235 and elsewhere, it becomes clear that they are not sons of the marriage itself of good and truth, but of a certain covenant not so conjugial. They are indeed descended from the same father but not from the same mother, that is, from the same Divine Good but not from the same Divine Truth. Indeed with those who are celestial, since they are the product of the marriage itself of good and truth, good exists and truth rooted in that good. They never make investigations into what the truth may be but have a perception of it from good. Nor in conversation do they say more than this regarding what is true, 'Yes, that is so', in keeping with the Lord's teaching in Matthew,

Let your words be Yes, yes; No, no; anything beyond this is from evil. 1 Matthew 5:37.

But those who are spiritual, since they are the product of a covenant not so conjugial, do not have any perception from which they can know what is true. Instead they call that the truth which parents and teachers have told them to be the truth. Consequently with them there is no marriage of good and truth. Nevertheless that which they believe to be the truth for the reason just given is adopted by the Lord as truth when goodness of life exists with them; see 1832. This now explains why the spiritual are here called 'the concubines' sons', which is used to mean all the sons of Keturah mentioned already, and also those descended from Hagar, dealt with shortly below in verses 12-18.

[3] In former times - to enable both those who are celestial and those who are spiritual to be represented in marriages - a man was allowed to have a concubine in addition to a wife. That concubine was given to the husband by his wife (uxor), in which case the concubine was called his wife (mulier), or was said to have been given to him as a wife (mulier), as when Hagar the Egyptian was given to Abraham by Sarah, Genesis 16:3, when the servant-girl Bilhah was given to Jacob by Rachel, Genesis 30:4, and when the servant-girl Zilpah was given to Jacob by Leah, Genesis 30:9. In those cases they are called 'wives' (mulier), but elsewhere concubines, as is Hagar the Egyptian in the present verse, Bilhah in Genesis 35:22, and even Keturah herself in 1 Chronicles 1:32.

[4] The reason why those men of old had concubines in addition to a wife, as not only Abraham and Jacob did, but also their descendants, such as Gideon, Judges 8:31; Saul, 2 Samuel 3:7; David, 2 Samuel 5:13; 15:16; Solomon, 1 Kings 11:3, was that they were permitted to do so for the sake of the representation. That is to say, the celestial Church was represented by the wife, and the spiritual Church by the concubine. They were permitted to do so because they were the kind of men with whom conjugial love did not exist; so that to them marriage was not marriage but merely copulation for the sake of begetting off-spring. With such persons those permissions were possible without any harm being done to love or consequently to the conjugial covenant. But such permissions are never possible among people with whom good and truth are present and who are internal people, or potentially so. For as soon as good and truth, and internal things, exist with the human being, such permissions come to an end. This is why Christians are not allowed, as the Jews were, to take a concubine in addition to a wife, and why such is adultery. Regarding the adoption of those who are spiritual by the Lord's Divine Human, see what has been stated and shown already on the same subject in 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834.
