127. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 4

Representation of the perverted church in the church. (2)

1-2 He should represent the falsities of the church, and the church besieged by them. (2)

3 He should represent the hardness of their heart, from which it is that they have no fear; (2)

4-8 he should also represent the church besieged by falsities of evil and evils of falsity. (2)

9-16 He should represent the falsification and adulteration of the sense of the letter of the Word, (2)

17 by which everything of the church has perished. (2, 3)

Ezekiel 4:4-8

Estudio

      

4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.

5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.

8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.

Spiritual Experiences #2284

2284. Evil spirits especially hate little children

By much experience I have also been enabled to learn that evil spirits especially hate little children. Quite often when I have seen little children, they wanted to hurt them in various ways, even to kill them, as I was given to know from seeing their fantasies. Children's objects, things that give little ones joy, they also hate-in short, anything pertaining to little children. The reason is that little children are innocent beings, and it is innocent people most of all that they persecute and hate.

I asked them whether they would like to do the same to their own little children. They said they would not-only to other people's children, and that they cannot refrain from that kind of hatred. The reason is that they hate the Lord, Who Alone is Innocence. 1748, 10 June.
