Ezekiel 14

Studie

   

1 Nang magkagayo'y lumapit sa akin ang ilan sa mga matanda sa Israel, at nangaupo sa harap ko.

2 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin na nagsasabi,

3 Anak ng tao, tinaglay ng mga lalaking ito ang kanilang mga diosdiosan sa kanilang puso, at inilagay ang katitisuran ng kanilang kasamaan sa harap ng kanilang mukha: dapat bagang sanggunian nila ako?

4 Kaya't salitain mo sa kanila, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Bawa't tao sa sangbahayan ni Israel na nagtataglay ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan sa kaniyang puso, at naglalagay ng katitisuran ng kaniyang kasamaan sa harap ng kaniyang mukha, at naparoroon sa propeta; akong Panginoon ay sasagot sa kaniya roon ng ayon sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan;

5 Upang aking makuha ang sangbahayan ni Israel sa kanilang sariling puso sapagka't silang lahat ay nagsilayo sa akin dahil sa kanilang mga diosdiosan.

6 Kaya't sabihin mo sa sangbahayan ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Mangagbalik-loob kayo, at kayo'y magsitalikod sa inyong mga diosdiosan; at ihiwalay ninyo ang inyong mga mukha sa lahat ninyong kasuklamsuklam.

7 Sapagka't bawa't tao sa sangbahayan ni Israel, o sa mga taga ibang lupa na nangananahan sa Israel, na humihiwalay ng kaniyang sarili sa akin, at nagtataglay ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan sa kaniyang puso, at naglalagay ng katitisuran ng kaniyang kasamaan sa harap ng kaniyang mukha, at naparoroon sa propeta upang magusisa sa akin tungkol sa kaniyang sarili; akong Panginoon ang sasagot sa kaniya:

8 At aking ititingin ang aking mukha laban sa taong yaon, at aking gagawin siyang katigilan, na pinakatanda at pinaka kawikaan, at aking ihihiwalay siya sa gitna ng aking bayan; at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

9 At kung ang propeta ay madaya at magsalita ng isang salita, akong Panginoon ang dumaya sa propetang yaon, at aking iuunat ang aking kamay sa kaniya, at papatayin ko siya mula sa gitna ng aking bayang Israel.

10 At kanilang dadanasin ang kanilang kasamaan: ang kasamaan ng propeta ay magiging gaya nga ng kasamaan niya na humahanap sa kaniya;

11 Upang ang sangbahayan ni Israel ay huwag nang maligaw pa sa akin, o mahawa pa man sa lahat nilang pagsalangsang; kundi upang sila'y maging aking bayan, at ako'y maging kanilang Dios, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

12 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,

13 Anak ng tao, pagka ang isang lupain ay nagkasala laban sa akin ng pagsalangsang, at aking iniunat ang aking kamay roon, at aking binali ang tungkod ng tinapay niyaon, at nagsugo ako ng kagutom doon, at aking inihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop;

14 Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito, na si Noe, si Daniel at si Job, ay nangandoon, ang kanila lamang ililigtas ay ang kanilang sariling mga kaluluwa, sa pamamagitan ng kanilang katuwiran, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

15 Kung aking paraanin ang mga mabangis na hayop sa lupain, at kanilang sirain, at ito'y magiba na anopa't walang taong makadaan dahil sa mga hayop;

16 Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi sila mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man; sila lamang ang maliligtas, nguni't ang lupain ay masisira.

17 O kung ako'y magpasapit ng tabak sa lupaing yaon, at aking sabihin, Tabak, dumaan ka sa lupain; na anopa't aking ihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop;

18 Bagaman ang tatlong lalaking ito ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, sila'y hindi mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man, kundi sila lamang ang maliligtas.

19 O kung ako'y magsugo ng salot sa lupaing yaon, at aking ibugso ang aking kapusukan sa kaniya na may kabagsikan, upang ihiwalay ang tao't hayop;

20 Bagaman si Noe, si Daniel, at si Job, ay nangandoon, buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, hindi sila mangagliligtas ng mga anak na lalake o babae man; ang kanila lamang ililigtas ay ang kanilang sariling kaluluwa sa pamamagitan ng kanilang katuwiran.

21 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Gaano pa nga kaya kung aking pasapitin ang aking apat na mahigpit na kahatulan sa Jerusalem, ang tabak, at ang kagutom, at ang mabangis na hayop, at ang salot, upang ihiwalay roon ang tao at hayop?

22 Gayon ma'y, narito, doo'y maiiwan ang isang nalabi na ilalabas, mga anak na lalake at sangpu ng babae: narito, kanilang lalabasin kayo, at inyong makikita ang kanilang mga lakad at ang kanilang mga gawa; at kayo'y mangaaaliw tungkol sa kasamaan na aking pinasapit sa Jerusalem, tungkol sa lahat na aking pinasapit doon.

23 At kanilang aaliwin kayo pagka nakikita ninyo ang kanilang lakad at ang kanilang mga gawa at inyong makikilala na hindi ko ginawang walang kadahilanan ang lahat na aking ginawa roon, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

9335. 'And the wild animal of the field multiplies against you' means an inrush of falsities arising from the delights of self-love and love of the world. This is clear from the meaning of 'multiplying', when it has reference to a hurried removal of evils and falsities, as an inrush; and from the meaning of 'the wild animal of the field' as falsities arising from the delights of self-love and love of the world. For affections, good and bad, are meant in the Word by different kinds of beasts, 9280, and therefore affections for falsity that arise from the delights of self-love and love of the world are meant by 'wild animals'. These affections are also represented in the next life by wild animals, such as panthers, tigers, boars, wolves, or bears. Such affections furthermore resemble wild animals, for people ruled by those loves are steeped in evils of every kind and in the falsities arising from them. They are like wild animals in the way they see and treat companions. The fact that those loves are the source of all evils and falsities, see 2041, 2045, 2057, 2363, 2364, 2444, 4750, 4776, 6667, 7178, 7255, 7364, 7366-7377, 7488, 7490-7494, 7643, 8318, 8487, 8678.

[2] The reason why a hurried removal of evils and falsities leads to an inrush of falsities arising from those loves is that forms of good and truths, implanted in successive stages, must remove them; for falsities are not removed except by truths, nor evils except by forms of good. If this removal is not done in successive stages and in keeping with proper order, falsities that lend support to those selfish loves enter in, since those loves reign with every person before he has been regenerated; and when the falsities enter in truths cease to be acknowledged any longer. Also a person who is being regenerated is maintained in an affection for truth; and when maintained in this he searches for truths in all directions among factual knowledge in the natural. But at this time illusions of the outward senses, which exist in great abundance in the natural, present themselves there. From those illusions, when the delights of self-love and love of the world hold sway, the person deduces nothing except falsities, which come in and fill his mind if falsities arising from evil are removed suddenly. These are the considerations that are meant in the internal sense by I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest perhaps the land becomes desolate and the wild animal of the field multiplies against you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you become fruitful and inherit the land.

[3] The fact that 'wild animal' means falsity and evil arising from self-love and love of the world is evident from places in the Word which mention it, as in Isaiah,

There will be a path there and a way, which will be called the way of holiness. The unclean will not pass through it; the savage of the wild animals will not go up it. Isaiah 35:8-9.

In Ezekiel,

I will send famine and evil wild animals upon you, that they may make you bereft. Ezekiel 5:17.

In the same prophet,

When I cause evil wild animals to pass through the land and they leave it bereft so that 1 it becomes a desolation, with the result that no one passes through on account of the wild animals ... Ezekiel 14:15.

In the same prophet,

You will fall on the open field; 2 to the wild animals of the earth, and to the birds of the air I will give you for food. Ezekiel 29:5.

In the same prophet,

At that time I will make with them a covenant of peace, and I will banish 3 the evil wild animal from the land, in order that they may dwell securely in the wilderness. They will no longer be a prey for the nations, and the wild animals of the field will no longer devour them. Ezekiel 34:25, 28.

[4] In Hosea,

I will lay waste her vine and her fig tree; and I will make them into a forest, and the wild animals of the field will eat them. Hosea 2:12.

In the same prophet,

The land will mourn and every inhabitant will waste away because of the wild animals of the field and the birds of the air. Hosea 4:3.

In David,

The boar of the forest tramples on it, and the wild animal of the fields feeds on it. Return, O God Zebaoth, and visit Your vine. Psalms 80:13-14.

In the same author,

You dispose the darkness to become night, in which every wild animal of the forest comes forth. Psalms 104:20.

In Moses,

If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, I will banish 3 the evil wild animals from the land. But if you despise My statutes, I will send into you the wild animals of the field, which will lay you waste. Leviticus 26:3, 6, 15, 22.

In the same author,

Jehovah your God will cast out the nations before you little by little, lest perhaps the wild animals of the field multiply against you. Deuteronomy 7:22.

In these places 'the wild animals of the field', 'the wild animals of the earth', and 'the wild animals of the forest' stand for the falsities and evils that belong to self-love and love of the world.

[5] Since 'wild animal' means falsity, and falsity can spring from two different origins, that is to say, it may stem from evil or it may stem from good, 9258, 'wild animal' in the Word also means upright nations or gentiles who, though they are subject to falsity, nevertheless lead upright lives. The term 'wild animal' is used in this sense in David,

Every wild animal of the forest is Mine, and beasts on mountains of thousands; I know every bird of the mountains, and the wild animal of My fields is with Me. Psalms 50:10-11.

In the same author,

Praise Jehovah, wild animals and all beasts! Psalms 148:7, 10.

In Isaiah,

All wild animals of My fields - come to eat, all wild animals in the forest. Isaiah 56:9.

In Ezekiel,

In the branches of the cedar, which was Asshur, all the birds of the air made their nests, and under its branches every wild animal of the field brought forth, and in its shadow dwelt all great nations. Ezekiel 31:6.
