The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 153
153. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 30
1-5 The Coming of the Lord when all things of the church have been destroyed by knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man. (1, 3, 2)
6-9 Then all who trust in these knowledges will perish through evil loves. (3, 3)
10-12 By such the truths of the church will be destroyed through reasonings from the natural man, derived from falsities, even until there is nothing left but falsities. (3)
13-19 All things which are of the knowledge [scientia] of the natural man, of every sort, will become hell. (3, 15)
20-23 They will have no truth, thus no power. (3)
24-26 This will take place through reasonings from the natural man. (3)
Ezekiel 30:13-19
13
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
14
I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.
15
I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
16
I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis [shall have] adversaries in the daytime.
17
The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these [cities] shall go into captivity.
18
At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19
Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
