144. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 21
1-3 [See above, end of chapter 20.] (3, 5)
4-5 They will all perish by means of falsities of evil.
8-11 Destruction by means of interior falsities of evil. (3, 8)
12-13 Grief of the church because they cannot be converted. (3)
14-17 All things that remain will also perish, owing to falsities still more interior. (3)
18-22 Destruction will come by reasonings from falsities, and yet they will have worship, but from these falsities. (3)
23-24 Their worship will be vain. (3)
25-27 That church will come to its end when the Lord comes. (1, 3)
28-29 It will be the same with those who have falsified the sense of the letter of the Word. (3)
Ezekiel 21:23-24
23
It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
24
Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you shall be taken with the hand.
