The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 155
155. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 32
Lament over those who by knowledges [scientiae] have perverted the holy things of the church. (3, 3)
1-2 They pervert all truths of the church. (3)
3-8 They fall into all falsities of evil, until they no longer see what is good and true. (3)
9-10 Those who are outside the church are horrified at their falsities. (3)
11-12 They destroy all things of the church by reasonings from the natural man. (3)
13-16 They shall be cast into hell, that they may no longer pervert truths in those who are in an affection for truth. (15)
15 In hell they will be associated with those who have profaned the holy things of the Word; (15, 17)
24-25 also with those who have falsified truths of doctrine; (15)
26-30 with those who have falsified the sense of the letter of the Word.
31-32 All of these will be with those who by knowledges [scientiae] have perverted the holy things of the church, and thus they will be separated from those who are of the church, lest they persecute them. (15)
Ezekiel 32:1-2
1
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
