Ezekiel 38:8

Studie

       

8 After many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of them.

5643. 'For the men will eat with me at midday' means that they will be joined together when accompanied by the intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated, being joined together, and being made one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 3832. And because they were accompanied by the spiritual intermediary represented by 'Benjamin', 5639, the expression 'at midday' is used; for 'midday' means a state of light, and so a spiritual state which the intermediary is instrumental in bringing about, 1458, 3708.
