Ezekielis 12

Studija

   

1 Viešpats man kalbėjo:

2 “Žmogaus sūnau, tu gyveni maištingoje tautoje, tarp žmonių, kurie turi akis, bet nemato, turi ausis, bet negirdi.

3 Todėl, žmogaus sūnau, paruošk savo mantą persikelti ir, jiems matant, dienos metu išeik. Jiems matant, iš savo vietos persikelk į kitą vietą. Gal jie susipras, nors ir yra maištingi.

4 Dienos metu išnešk savo mantą kaip persikėlimo mantą, o pats išeik vakare kaip einantis į tremtį.

5 Jiems matant, pralaužk sieną, užsidėk daiktus ant pečių ir sutemus išeik pro ją.

6 Užsidenk veidą, kad nematytum krašto, nes Aš paskyriau tave ženklu Izraeliui”.

7 Aš padariau, kaip man buvo įsakyta: savo mantą kaip persikėlimo mantą išnešiau dienos metu, vakare pralaužiau sieną. Kai sutemo, užsidėjęs daiktus ant pečių, išėjau, jiems matant.

8 ytą man Viešpats pasakė:

9 “Žmogaus sūnau, ar izraelitai neklausė tavęs: ‘Ką darai?’

10 Sakyk jiems: ‘Taip sako Viešpats: ‘Tai našta Jeruzalės kunigaikščiui ir visiems izraelitams, kurie ten yra’.

11 Sakyk: ‘Aš esu ženklas jums. Kaip aš dariau, taip atsitiks jiems. Jie persikels ir eis į nelaisvę’.

12 Kunigaikštis, kuris yra tarp jų, užsidės mantą ant pečių, pralauš mūro sieną ir sutemus pro ją išeis. Veidą jis užsidengs, kad nematytų krašto.

13 Aš pagausiu jį, nugabensiu į Babiloną, chaldėjų kraštą. Tačiau jis nematys to krašto ir mirs jame.

14 Visus jo padėjėjus ir karių būrius Aš išsklaidysiu po visus kraštus ir ištrauksiu kardą paskui juos.

15 Kai juos išsklaidysiu tarp tautų įvairiuose kraštuose, tada jie žinos, kad Aš esu Viešpats.

16 Bet Aš išsaugosiu mažą likutį nuo kardo, bado ir maro. Jie pasakos apie savo bjaurystes tautoms, kuriose bus ištremti, ir jie žinos, kad Aš esu Viešpats’ ”.

17 Viešpats man tarė:

18 “Žmogaus sūnau, valgyk duoną ir gerk vandenį drebėdamas.

19 Sakyk krašto žmonėms, kad Viešpats Dievas apie Jeruzalės ir Izraelio krašto gyventojus sako: ‘Jie valgys duoną nusiminę ir gers vandenį susirūpinę, nes jų kraštas virs dykyne dėl smurto visų jame gyvenančių.

20 Miestai ištuštės, ir kraštas sunyks. Tada jūs žinosite, kad Aš esu Viešpats’ ”.

21 Viešpats vėl man kalbėjo:

22 “Žmogaus sūnau, kokia tai patarlė, kurią vartojate Izraelio krašte, sakydami: ‘Dienos bėga, o pranašystės neišsipildo’.

23 Tu sakyk jiems, kad Viešpats Dievas sako: ‘Aš padarysiu galą šitai patarlei, ir ji Izraelyje nebebus girdima. Jau atėjo laikas, ir visos pranašystės išsipildys.

24 Daugiau nebebus melagingų regėjimų ir apgaulingų pranašavimų Izraelyje.

25 Aš, Viešpats, kalbėsiu, ir žodis, kurį kalbėsiu, išsipildys ir nebus atidėtas. Taip, dar jūsų dienomis, jūs, maištininkai, Aš paskelbsiu žodį ir jį įvykdysiu,­sako Viešpats Dievas’ ”.

26 Viešpats man tarė:

27 “Žmogaus sūnau, izraelitai sako: ‘ egėjimai, kuriuos pranašas regi, ir jo pranašavimai yra apie tolimą ateitį’.

28 Todėl sakyk jiems: ‘Taip sako Viešpats: ‘Mano žodžiai nebebus atidedami, bet žodis, kurį kalbėjau, išsipildys,­sako Viešpats Dievas’ ”.

Apocalypse Revealed #50

50. And His voice as the sound of many waters. This symbolizes natural Divine truth.

A voice, when coming from the Lord, symbolizes Divine truth, as may be seen in no. 37 above. Waters symbolize truths, and specifically natural truths, which are concepts from the Word, as follows from many passages in the Word, of which we cite only the following:

...the earth is full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:9)

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. (Isaiah 12:3)

He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly...: bread will be given him, (and) his water will be constant. (Isaiah 33:15-16)

The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongue fails for thirst... I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will turn the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into springs of water..., that they may see, know, consider and understand... (Isaiah 41:17-18, 20)

I will pour out water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit... (Isaiah 44:3)

...your light shall rise in the darkness..., that you may be like a watered garden, and like an issue of water, whose waters do not deceive. (Isaiah 58:10-11)

...My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns... that hold no water. (Jeremiah 2:13)

Their great ones have sent their young ones for water. They went to the cisterns and found no water. Their vessels came back empty. (Jeremiah 14:3)

...they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters. (Jeremiah 17:13)

They shall come with weeping, and with prayers I will lead them. I will lead them to a fountain of waters, in the way of rectitude... (Jeremiah 31:9)

...I will break the staff of bread... and they shall drink water by measure and with astonishment..., so that... they waste away because of their iniquities. (Ezekiel 4:16-17; cf. 12:18-19, Isaiah 51:14)

Behold, the days will come... when I will send hunger on the land, not a hunger for bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. They shall wander from sea to sea, and... shall run to and fro, to hear the word of Jehovah, but shall not find it. In that day the... young women and the young men shall faint for thirst. (Amos 8:11-13)

In that day... living waters shall flow from Jerusalem... (Zechariah 14:8)

Jehovah is my shepherd..., He leads me to still waters. (Psalms 23:1-2)

They did not thirst...; He caused waters to flow from the rock for them, and He split the rock, so that waters gushed out. (Isaiah 48:21)

O God..., in the morning will I seek You; My soul thirsts...; ...(I am) weary, without water. (Psalms 63:1)

(Jehovah) sends out His word...; He causes (the) wind to blow, so that the waters flow. (Psalms 147:18)

Praise (Jehovah), you heavens of heavens, and you waters from above the heavens! (Psalms 148:4)

(Jesus sitting by Jacob's well said to the woman,) "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will not thirst to eternity. And the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:7-15)

(Jesus said,) "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture says, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water." (John 7:37-38)

To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Revelation 21:6)

He showed (him) a... river of the water of life..., proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)

And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17)

Waters in these passages mean truths, and it is apparent from this that the sound of many waters means the Lord's Divine truth in the Word, as also in the following places:

Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east, and His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illumined by His glory. (Ezekiel 43:2)

I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters... (Revelation 14:2)

The voice of Jehovah is on the waters...; Jehovah is on many waters. (Psalms 29:3)

When it is known that waters in the Word mean truths in the natural self, it can be seen what washings in the Israelite Church symbolized, and also what baptism symbolizes, and moreover what is symbolically meant by these words of the Lord in John,

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)

"Of water" means, symbolically, "by truths," and "of the Spirit" means, symbolically, "by a life in accordance with them."

In an opposite sense, waters symbolize falsities, as we will see in subsequent explanations.

Ezekiel 13

Studija

   

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the word of Yahweh:

3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

4 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

5 You have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.

6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, Yahweh says; but Yahweh has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

7 Haven't you seen a false vision, and Haven't you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, Yahweh says; but I have not spoken?

8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, says the Lord Yahweh.

9 My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no Peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash:

11 tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it.

12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?

13 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

14 So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;

16 [to wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord Yahweh.

17 You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,

18 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of [persons of] every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.

20 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make [them] fly.

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

22 Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:

23 Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
