Hesekiel 3

Studija

   

1 Ja ta ütles mulle: 'Inimesepoeg, söö, mis sulle antakse! Söö ära see rullraamat ja mine räägi Iisraeli soole!'

2 Siis ma avasin oma suu ja ta andis mulle süüa selle rullraamatu.

3 Ja ta ütles mulle: 'Inimesepoeg, täida oma kõht ja toida oma sisemus selle rullraamatuga, mille ma sulle annan!' Siis ma sõin ja see oli mu suus magus nagu mesi.

4 Ja ta ütles mulle: 'Inimesepoeg, tule! Mine Iisraeli soo juurde ja räägi neile minu sõnu!

5 Sest sind ei läkitata mitte umbkeelse või kange keelega rahva juurde, vaid Iisraeli soo juurde,

6 mitte paljude rahvaste juurde, kes on umbkeelsed ja kange keelega, kelle sõnu sa ei mõista. Tõesti, kui ma läkitaksin sind nende juurde, nad kuulaksid sind.

7 Aga Iisraeli sugu ei taha sind kuulata, sest nad ei taha mindki kuulata. Sest kogu Iisraeli sugu on kõva laubaga ja paadunud südamega.

8 Vaata, ma teen su palge karmiks, nagu on nende palged, ja su lauba kõvaks, nagu on nende laubad.

9 Teemandi sarnaseks, ränikivist kõvemaks teen ma su lauba. Ära karda neid ja ära kohku nende ees - nad on ju vastupanija sugu!'

10 Ja ta ütles mulle: 'Inimesepoeg, kõik mu sõnad, mis ma sulle räägin, võta südamesse ja kuule neid oma kõrvaga!

11 Ja mine vangide juurde, oma rahva laste juurde, ja räägi nendega ning ütle neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal; kuulaku nad või ärgu kuulaku!'

12 Siis tõstis Vaim mu üles ja ma kuulsin enda taga suurt müra; 'Õnnistatud olgu Issanda auhiilgus oma paigas!',

13 ja olevuste tiibade kahinat, mis üksteist puudutasid, ja nendega üheaegselt rataste raginat ja suurt mürinat.

14 Ja Vaim tõstis mu üles ja võttis minu, ja ma läksin sügava sisemise erutusega; Issanda käsi oli tugevasti mu peal.

15 Ja ma tulin Tel-Abibi vangide juurde, kes elasid Kebari jõe ääres; ja seal, kus nad elasid, istusin ma vaikides nende keskel seitse päeva.

16 Aga seitsme päeva pärast tuli mulle Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

17 'Inimesepoeg, ma olen sind pannud vahimeheks Iisraeli soole. Ja kui sa kuuled sõna mu suust, siis sa pead neid minu poolt manitsema.

18 Kui ma ütlen õelale: 'Sa pead surema!', kuid sina ei manitse teda ega räägi, et manitseda õelat pöörduma oma õeluse teelt, et hoida teda elus, siis see õel küll sureb oma süü pärast, aga tema verd ma nõuan sinu käest.

19 Aga kui sa õelat manitsed ja tema ei pöördu oma õelusest või oma õeluse teelt, siis ta sureb oma süü pärast, sina aga oled päästnud oma hinge.

20 Ja kui õige pöördub oma õigusest ja teeb ülekohut, siis ma panen ta ette komistuskivi ja ta peab surema; kui sa teda ei ole manitsenud, siis ta peab surema oma patu pärast ja ta õigeid tegusid, mis ta oli teinud, ei peeta meeles; aga tema verd ma nõuan sinu käest.

21 Ent kui sa õiget manitsed, et õige ei teeks pattu, ja tema ei teegi pattu, siis ta jääb tõesti elama, sest ta on lasknud ennast manitseda ja sina oled päästnud oma hinge.'

22 Issanda käsi tuli seal minu peale ja ta ütles mulle: 'Tõuse, mine orgu, seal räägin ma sinuga!'

23 Ja ma tõusin ning läksin orgu, ja vaata, seal seisis Issanda auhiilgus, samasugune auhiilgus, mida ma olin näinud Kebari jõe ääres; ja ma langesin silmili.

24 Aga minu sisse tuli Vaim ja tõstis mu jalgadele seisma; ta rääkis minuga ja ütles mulle: 'Mine, sule ennast oma kotta!

25 Ja sina, inimesepoeg! Vaata, su peale pannakse köied ja sind seotakse nendega, et sa ei saaks minna välja nende sekka.

26 Ja ma kinnitan su keele su suulae külge, nõnda et sa jääd tummaks ega saa olla neile noomijaks; sest nad on vastupanija sugu.

27 Aga kui mina räägin sinuga, siis ma avan sinu suu, et sa räägiksid nendega: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Kes tahab kuulata, see kuulaku, kes mitte, see jätku kuulamata, sest nad on vastupanija sugu!

8763. 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians' means remembrance of all that happened to the evil who engaged in molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'you have seen' as remembrance; and from the representation of 'the Egyptians' as the evil who engaged in molestation, dealt with in 7097, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7317. From all this it is evident that 'you have seen what I did to the Egyptians' means remembrance of all that happened to those who engaged in molestation.

7317. 'And they will be turned into blood' means that they will falsify truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'blood' as falsified truth, dealt with in 4735, 6978, 'blood' in the genuine sense is truth emanating from the Lord, thus the holiness of faith, this being what is meant by blood in the Holy Supper. But in the contrary sense 'blood' is violence done to Divine Truth, and since it is done by means of falsifications, 'blood' is the falsification of truth. From this and from what follows it may be seen who specifically are represented by 'Pharaoh', or who specifically are meant by those who molest - those within the Church who have declared themselves on the side of faith and have also convinced themselves that faith saves, yet have led a life contrary to the commandments intrinsic to faith. In short they are those whose faith has been false and whose life has been evil.

[2] When these people enter the next life they bring with them the assumption that they are to be introduced into heaven because they were born and baptized within the Church, possessed the Word, and also the teachings drawn from the Word which they had claimed to believe in, and especially because they claimed to believe in the Lord, who suffered for their sins and thereby saved those within the Church who from a knowledge of its teachings claimed to believe in Him. When these people first arrive in the next life from the world they do not wish to know anything about a life of faith and charity. They regard it as of no account, saying that because they have possessed faith all the evils marring their life have been purged and washed away by the blood of the Lamb. But then they are told that these ideas are contrary to the Lord's words in Matthew, where He says this,

Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy through Your name, and through Your name cast out demons, and do many mighty works in Your name? But then I will confess to them, I do not know you; depart from Me, you workers of iniquity. Everyone who hears My words and does them I liken to a wise man; but everyone hearing My words and not doing them I liken to a foolish man. Matthew 7:11-24, 26.

And in Luke,

Then you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He replying will say to you, 1 I do not know where you come from. Then you will begin to say, We ate in Your presence and we drank; and You taught in our streets. But He will say, I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity. Luke 13:25-27.

But when they are told this they reply that only those who possessed faith induced by miracles are meant, not those who possessed the faith of the Church.

[3] But after some time these same people start to learn that none are admitted into heaven apart from those who have led the life of faith, that is, have had charity towards the neighbour. And when they start to learn this they begin to feel contempt for the teachings making up their faith, and their faith itself also. For their faith had not been faith but merely a knowledge of such things as constitute faith; and it had not existed for life's sake, only for the sake of making gain and having important positions. So it is that they begin to feel contempt for the things which had composed their knowledge of faith, and so cast them aside, soon after which they immerse themselves in falsities opposed to the truths of faith. This is the state in which those who have declared themselves on the side of faith, yet have led a life contrary to faith, come to live. These are the ones who in the next life molest the upright by means of falsities, thus who are meant specifically by 'Pharaoh'.
