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 30:24-26
24
I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
25
I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on the land of Egypt.
26
I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
