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 30:20-23
20
It happened in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh [day] of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
21
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been bound up, to apply [healing] medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.
22
Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong [arm], and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23
I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
