1 Du, Menneskesøn, Profeter mod Gog og sig: Så siger den Herre HE EN. Se, Jeg kommer over dig, Gog, Fyrste over osj, Mesjek og Tubal!

2 Jeg vender dig, leder dig og fører dig op fra det yderste Nord og bringer dig til Israels Bjerge.

3 Så slår jeg Buen ud af din venstre Hånd og lader Pilene falde ud af din højre.

4 Israels Bjerge skal du falde, du og alle dine Hobe og Folkeslagene, der følger dig; jeg giver dig til Føde for alle Hånde ovfugle og Markens vilde Dyr.

5 I åben Mark skal du falde, så sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

6 Og jeg sætter IldMagog og på de fjerne Strandes trygge Indbyggere; og de skal kende, at jeg er HE EN.

7 Mit hellige Navn kundgør jeg midt i mit Folk Israel, og jeg vil ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn; og Folkene skal kende, at jeg er HE EN, den hellige i Israel.

8 Se, det kommer, det skal ske, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN; det er Dagen, jeg har talet om.

9 Så skal Indbyggerne i Israels Byer gå ud og gøre Ild på og tænde op med ustninger, små og store Skjolde, Buer, Pile, Håndstave og Spyd; og de skal bruge det til at gøre Ild med i syv År.

10 De skal ikke hente Træ i Marken eller hugge Brænde i Skovene, men gøre Ild på med ustningerne. De skal plyndre dem, de plyndredes af, og hærge dem, de hærgedes af, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

11 Og på hin Dag giver jeg Gog et Gravsted i Israel, Vandringsmændenes dal østen for Havet, og den skal spærre Vejen for Vandringsmænd; der skal de jorde Gog og hele hans larmende Hob og kalde Stedet: Gogs larmende Hobs dal.

12 Israels Hus skal have hele syv Måneder til at jorde dem og således rense Landet.

13 Alt folket i Landet skal jorde dem, og det skal tjene til deres os, på den Dag jeg herliggør mig, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

14 Man skal udvælge fast Mandskab til at drage Landet rundt og søge efter dem, der er blevet tilbage ud over Landet, for at rense det; når syv Måneder er gået, skal de skride til at søge;

15 og når de vandrer Landet rundt og en får Øje på Menneskeknogler, skal han sætte et Mærke derved, for at Graverne kan jorde dem i Gogs larmende Hobs Dal;

16 også skal en By have Navnet Hamona". Således skal de rense Landet.

17 Og du, Menneskesøn! Så siger den Herre HE EN: Sig til alle Fugle og alle Markens vilde Dyr: Saml eder og kom hid, kom sammen alle Vegne fra til mit Slagtoffer, som jeg slagter for eder, et vældigt Slagtoffer på Israels Bjerge; I skal æde Kød og drikke Blod!

18 Kød af Helte skal I æde, Blod af Jordens Fyrster skal I drikke, Vædre, Får, Bukke og Tyre, alle fedet i Basan.

19 I skal æde eder mætte i Fedt og drikke eder drukne i Blod af mit Slagtoffer, som jeg slagter for eder.

20 I skal mætte eder ved mit Bord med Køreheste og ytterheste, Helte og alle Hånde Krigsfolk, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

21 Jeg åbenbarer min Herlighed blandt Folkene, og alle Folkene skal skue den Dom, jeg fuldbyrder, og min Hånd, som jeg lægger på dem.

22 Israels Hus skal kende, at jeg, HE EN, er deres Gud fra hin Dag og fremdeles;

23 og Folkene skal kende, at Israels Hus vandrede i Landflygtighed for deres Misgerningers Skyld, fordi de var troløse imod mig, så jeg skjulte mit Åsyn for dem og gav dem i deres Fjenders Hånd, hvorfor de alle faldt for Sværdet.

24 Efter deres Urenhed og deres Overtrædelser handlede jeg med dem og skjulte mit Åsyn for dem.

25 Derfor, så siger den Herre HE EN; Nu vil jeg vende Jakobs Skæbne, forbarme mig over alt Israels Hus og være nidkær for mit hellige Navn;

26 og de skal glemme deres Skændsel og al den Troløshed, de viste mig, når de bor trygt i deres Land, uden at nogen skræmmer,

27 når jeg fører dem tilbage fra Folkeslagene, samler dem fra deres Fjenders Lande og helliger mig på dem for mange Folks Øjne.

28 Og de skal kende, at jeg er HE EN deres Gud, når jeg efter at have ført dem i Landflygtighed blandt Folkene samler dem i deres Land uden at lade nogen af dem blive tilbage derude

29 og ikke mere skjuler mit Åsyn for dem, da jeg har udgydt min Ånd over Israels Hus, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

26. Again I swear in truth that these events and words occurred as I have related them, the first ones in the world of spirits, which is midway between heaven and hell, and the subsequent ones in a society of heaven, the society from which came the angel with the trumpet, who acted as guide.

Who in the Christian world would know anything about heaven and the joys and happiness there - knowledge of which is also knowledge of salvation - unless it pleased the Lord to open to someone the sight of his spirit and to show him and teach him?

Corroboration that things like these occur in the spiritual world appears plainly from the things seen and heard by the apostle John, as described in the book of Revelation. For example, he describes having seen the following:

The Son of Man in the midst of the seven lampstands. 1

A tabernacle, temple, ark, and altar in heaven. 2

A book sealed with seven seals. The book opened, and horses going out of it. 3

Four living creatures around a throne. 4

Twelve thousand taken from each tribe. 5

Locusts arising out of the abyss. 6

A dragon and its fight with Michael. 7

A woman giving birth to a male child and fleeing into the wilderness because of the dragon. 8

Two beasts, one rising up out of the sea, the other out of the earth. 9

A woman sitting on a scarlet beast. 10

The dragon cast into a lake of fire and brimstone. 11

A white horse, and a great supper. 12

A new heaven and a new earth, and the holy Jerusalem coming down, described as to its gates, wall, and foundations. 13

Also a river of water of life, and trees of life yielding fruits every month. 14

Besides many other things, all of which were seen by John, and seen when he was in the spirit 15 in the spiritual world and in heaven. In addition, those things which were seen by the apostles after the Lord's resurrection. 16 And which were later seen by Peter (Acts of the Apostles 11). 17 Also which were then seen and heard by Paul. 18

Moreover, there were the things seen by the prophets. For example, Ezekiel saw the following:

Four living creatures, which were cherubs. (Ezekiel 1 and 10)

A new temple and a new earth, and an angel measuring them. (Ezekiel 40-48)

Being carried off to Jerusalem, he saw the abominations there. (Ezekiel 8) And he was also carried off into Chaldea, to those in captivity. (Ezekiel 11) 19

Something similar happened with Zechariah:

He saw a man riding among myrtle trees. (Zechariah 1:8 ff.)

He saw four horns, and then a man with a measuring line in his hand. (Zechariah 1:18 ff., 2:1 ff.)

He saw a lampstand and two olive trees. (Zechariah 4:1 ff.)

He saw a flying scroll, and an ephah. (Zechariah 5:1, 6)

He saw four chariots coming from between two mountains, with horses. (Zechariah 6:1 ff.)

Likewise with Daniel:

He saw four beasts come up from the sea. (Daniel 7:1 ff.)

Also the combats of a ram and a goat. (Daniel 8:1 ff.)

He saw the angel Gabriel, who spoke at length with him. (Daniel 9) 20

Moreover, Elisha's young man saw fiery chariots and horses around Elisha, and he saw them when his eyes were opened. 21

From these and many other passages in the Word, it is evident that the things which exist in the spiritual world have appeared to many, before and after the Lord's Advent. Why should it be surprising for them to appear also now, when the Church is beginning and the New Jerusalem is coming down from the Lord out of heaven

Ezekiel 10

Lernen

   

1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. He went in as I watched.

3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

4 The glory of Yahweh mounted up from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh's glory.

5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

7 The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [of it], and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

8 There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

9 I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

11 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.

12 Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, [even] the wheels that the four of them had.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling [wheels].

14 Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn't turn from beside them.

17 When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

19 The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

21 Every one had four faces, and Every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
