Ezequiel 28

Studie

   

1 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

2 Hijo de hombre, di al príncipe de Tiro: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Por cuanto se enalteció tu corazón, y dijiste: Yo soy DIOS; en la silla de DIOS estoy sentado en medio de los mares (siendo tú hombre y no DIOS); y pusiste tu corazón como corazón de DIOS;

3 he aquí que tú eres más sabio que Daniel; no hay secreto que ellos te puedan ocultar;

4 con tu sabiduría y con tu prudencia te has juntado riquezas, y has adquirido oro y plata en tus tesoros;

5 con la grandeza de tu sabiduría en tu contratación has multiplicado tus riquezas; y a causa de tus riquezas se ha enaltecido tu corazón.

6 Por tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: Por cuanto pusiste tu corazón como corazón de DIOS,

7 por tanto, he aquí yo traigo sobre ti extraños, los fuertes de los gentiles, que desenvainarán sus cuchillos contra la hermosura de tu sabiduría, y ensuciarán tu esplendor.

8 A la huesa te harán descender, y morirás de la muerte de los que mueren en medio de los mares.

9 ¿Por ventura hablarás delante de tu matador, diciendo: Yo soy dios? Tú, hombre serás , y no dios, en la mano de tu matador.

10 De muerte de incircuncisos morirás por mano de extraños; porque yo he hablado, dijo el Señor DIOS.

11 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

12 Hijo de hombre, levanta endechas sobre el rey de Tiro, y dile: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Tú sellas la suma de la perfección , lleno de sabiduría, y acabado de hermosura.

13 En Edén, en el huerto de Dios estuviste; toda piedra preciosa fue tu vestidura; el sardio, topacio, diamante, turquesa, onice, y berilo, el zafiro, rubí, y esmeralda, y oro. Las obras de tus tamboriles y pífanos estuvieron apercibidas en ti el día que fuiste creado.

14 Tú, querubín grande, cubierto, y yo te puse; en el santo monte de Dios estuviste; en medio de piedras de fuego anduviste.

15 Perfecto eras en todos tus caminos desde el día que fuiste creado, hasta que se halló en ti maldad.

16 A causa de la multitud de tu contratación fuiste lleno de iniquidad, y pecaste; y yo te eché del Monte de Dios, y te eché a mal de entre las piedras del fuego, oh querubín cubierto.

17 Se enalteció tu corazón a causa de tu hermosura, corrompiste tu sabiduría a causa de tu resplandor; yo te arrojaré por tierra; delante de los reyes te pondré para que miren en ti.

18 Con la multitud de tus maldades, y con la iniquidad de tu contratación ensuciaste tu santuario; yo , pues, saqué fuego de en medio de ti, el cual te consumió, y te puse en ceniza sobre la tierra a los ojos de todos los que te miran.

19 Todos los que te conocieron de entre los pueblos, se maravillarán sobre ti; conturbado fuistes, y nunca más serás para siempre.

20 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

21 Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia Sidón, y profetiza contra ella;

22 y dirás: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí yo contra ti, oh Sidón, y en medio de ti seré glorificado; y sabrán que yo soy el Señor, cuando hiciere en ella juicios, y en ella me santificare.

23 Y enviaré a ella pestilencia y sangre en sus plazas; y caerán muertos en medio de ella; con espada contra ella alrededor; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.

24 Y nunca más será a la Casa de Israel espino que le punce, ni espino que le dé dolor, en todos los alrededores de los que los menosprecian; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.

25 Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Cuando juntare la Casa de Israel de los pueblos entre los cuales están esparcidos, y en ellos me santificaré a los ojos de los gentiles, y habitarán en su tierra, la cual di a mi siervo Jacob.

26 Y habitarán en ella seguros, y edificarán casas, y plantarán viñas, y habitarán confiadamente, cuando yo haga juicios en todos los que los despojan en sus alrededores; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios.

9466. 'And violet' means the celestial love of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'violet' as the celestial love of truth, the reason why 'violet' has this meaning being that it is a celestial colour, and by this colour truth from a celestial origin is meant, that is, truth springing from the good of love to the Lord. This good predominates in the inmost heaven, revealing itself in the middle or second heaven as the colours purple and violet. The actual good reveals itself as purple, and the truth springing from it as violet. For when colours appear in the next life, and in heaven itself, they are most beautiful ones; and they all have their origin in goodness and truth. For the sphere of affections for goodness and truth is revealed to the eyes of angels and of spirits also by means of colours, specific things being revealed by means of objects variously coloured, and also to their nostrils by means of odours. For every celestial reality belonging to good or spiritual reality belonging to truth is represented in the lower heavens by means of the kinds of things that appear in the natural order, and by this means is revealed to the actual external senses of spirits and angels in those heavens. The reason why the spheres of affection for goodness and truth are revealed visually by means of colours is that colours are modifications of heavenly light, and so of intelligence and wisdom, see 4530, 4677, 4742, 4922.

[2] This now explains why the materials that were to be gathered together for the tabernacle and Aaron's garments included violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and skins of red rams; for the tabernacle represented the Lord's heaven, the materials which were used to construct and cover it represented the celestial and spiritual realities that belong to goodness and truth, and Aaron's garments had a like representation, 9457. It explains why the veil within which the ark of the Testimony was placed was woven from violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen thread, Exodus 26:31, as likewise was the covering for the door of the tent, Exodus 26:36, and the covering for the gate of the court as well, Exodus 27:16, and why the loops on the edge of the curtain were made of violet, Exodus 26:4. It also explains why the ephod was made of gold, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and linen thread woven together, as was the breastplate of judgement, Exodus 28:6, 15.

[3] 'Violet' means the celestial love of truth, and 'garments made of violet' cognitions or knowledge of truth present as a result of that love, in Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you an ensign; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. They were your traders with choice wares, 1 with balls of violet, and embroidery, and with chests of precious garments. Ezekiel 27:7, 24.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions of truth and good are meant, 1201. Knowledge and understanding acquired from these is described by 'embroidered work from Egypt', and by 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah'. 'Embroidered work from Egypt' is factual knowledge of truth, and 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah' is an understanding of truth and good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Two women, the daughters of one mother, in their youth committed whoredom in Egypt - Oholah and Oholibah. Oholah committed whoredom under Me and doted on the Assyrians her neighbours - clothed in violet, governors and leaders, horsemen riding on horses. Ezekiel 23:2-6.

'Oholah' stands for Samaria, and 'Oholibah' for Jerusalem, Samaria in this instance being the corrupted spiritual Church. 'Committing whoredom in Egypt' means falsifying truths by means of factual knowledge, 'doting on the Assyrians her neighbours' stands for having a love of reasonings based on those falsifications, and 'clothed in violet' stands for ideas which look like truth springing from good because they are derived from the literal sense of the Word interpreted wrongly.

[5] Something similar occurs in Jeremiah,

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the molder. Their clothing is violet and purple. These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:9.

This refers to the idols of the house of Israel, by which false teachings, supported by distortions of the outward sense of the Word, are meant, 9424. 'The work of the smith and of the hands of the molder', and also 'these are all the work of the wise', stand for the fact that they are the product of self-intelligence. 'Silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz' stands for their seeming to outward appearance to be true and good because they are taken from the Word; and much the same is meant by 'violet and purple' of which their clothing consisted.

[6] In John,

I saw horses in the vision, and those seated on them had breastplates of fire and violet and brimstone, by whom a third part of mankind was killed. Revelation 9:17-18.

'Horses' and 'those seated on them' stand for a topsy-turvy and corrupted understanding of truth. 'Breastplates of fire, violet, and brimstone' stands for defence of falsities that arise from the evils of devilish kinds of love. In this instance therefore 'fire' stands for the hellish love of evil, and 'violet' for the hellish love of falsity. They are accordingly used in the contrary sense; for the majority of things in the Word also have a contrary meaning.
