Hesekiel 11

Სწავლა

   

1 Und mich hub ein Wind auf und brachte mich zum Tor am Hause des HERRN, das gegen Morgen stehet; und siehe, unter dem Tor waren fünfundzwanzig Männer. Und ich sah unter ihnen Jasanja, den Sohn Assurs, und Platja, den Sohn Benajas, die Fürsten im Volk.

2 Und er sprach zu mir: Menschenkind diese Leute haben unselige Gedanken und schädliche Ratschläge in dieser Stadt.

3 Denn sie sprechen: Es ist nicht so nahe, laßt uns nur Häuser bauen; sie ist der Topf, so sind wir das Fleisch.

4 Darum sollst du, Menschenkind, wider sie weissagen.

5 Und der Geist des HERRN fiel auf mich und sprach zu mir: Sprich: So sagt der HERR: Ihr habt also geredet, ihr vom Hause Israel; und eures Geistes Gedanken kenne ich wohl.

6 Ihr habt viele erschlagen in dieser Stadt, und ihre Gassen liegen voller Toten.

7 Darum spricht der HERR HERR also: Die ihr drinnen getötet habt, die sind das Fleisch, und sie ist der Topf; aber ihr müsset hinaus.

8 Das Schwert, das ihr fürchtet, das will ich über euch kommen lassen, spricht der HERR HERR.

9 Ich will euch von dannen herausstoßen und den Fremden in die Hand geben und will euch euer Recht tun.

10 Ihr sollt durchs Schwert fallen, in den Grenzen Israels will ich euch richten; und sollt erfahren, daß ich der HERR bin.

11 Die Stadt aber soll nicht euer Topf sein, noch ihr das Fleisch drinnen, sondern in den Grenzen Israels will ich euch richten.

12 Und sollt erfahren, daß ich der HERR bin; denn ihr habt nach meinen Geboten nicht gewandelt und meine Rechte nicht gehalten, sondern getan nach der Heiden Weise, die um euch her sind.

13 Und da ich so weissagte, starb Platja, der Sohn Benajas. Da fiel ich auf mein Angesicht und schrie mit lauter Stimme und sprach: Ach, HERR HERR, du wirst's mit den Übrigen Israels gar ausmachen!

14 Da geschah des HERRN Wort zu mir und sprach:

15 Du Menschenkind, deine Brüder und nahen Freunde und das ganze Haus Israel, so noch zu Jerusalem wohnen, sprechen wohl untereinander; jene sind vom HERRN ferne weggeflohen, aber wir haben das Land inne.

16 Darum sprich du: So spricht der HERR HERR: Ja, ich habe sie ferne weg unter die Heiden lassen treiben und in die Länder zerstreuet; doch will ich bald ihr Heiland sein in den Ländern, dahin sie kommen sind.

17 Darum sprich: So sagt der HERR HERR: Ich will euch sammeln aus den Völkern und will euch sammeln aus den Ländern, dahin ihr zerstreuet seid, und will euch das Land Israel geben.

18 Da sollen sie kommen und alle Scheuel und Greuel daraus wegtun.

19 Ich will euch ein einträchtig Herz geben und einen neuen Geist in euch geben; und will das steinerne Herz wegnehmen aus eurem Leibe und ein fleischern Herz geben,

20 auf daß sie in meinen Sitten wandeln und meine Rechte halten und danach tun. Und sie sollen mein Volk sein, so will ich ihr Gott sein.

21 Denen aber, so nach ihres Herzens Scheueln und Greueln wandeln, will ich ihr Tun auf ihren Kopf werfen, spricht der HERR HERR.

22 Da schwangen die Cherubim ihre Flügel, und die Räder gingen neben ihnen, und die HERRLIchkeit des Gottes Israels war oben über ihnen.

23 Und die HERRLIchkeit des HERRN erhub sich aus der Stadt und stellete sich auf den Berg, der gegen Morgen vor der Stadt liegt.

24 Und ein Wind hub mich auf und brachte mich im Gesicht und im Geist Gottes nach Chaldäa zu den Gefangenen. Und das Gesicht, so ich gesehen hatte, verschwand vor mir.

25 Und ich sagte den Gefangenen alle Worte des HERRN, die er mir gezeiget hatte.

Speak

  

Like "say," the word "speak" refers to thoughts and feelings moving from our more internal spiritual levels to our more external ones -- and ultimately from the Lord, who is in a sense the most internal spiritual level of all. This is generally called "influx" and "perception" in the Writings, meaning they are thoughts and feelings that flow in in a complete way from the Lord, rather than being things we have to think about and figure out. On a number of occasions "speak" and "say" are used together; in these cases "speak" refers more to intellectual instruction in matters of thought and "say" refers more to feelings and affections that flow in directly.

4287. 'For as a prince you have contended with God and with men, and have prevailed' means repeated victories in conflicts over truths and goods. This is clear from the meaning of 'contending as a prince' as overcoming in conflicts, in this case conflicts that accompany temptations since these are the subject at present; and from the meaning of 'with God and with men' as conflicts over truths and goods, to be dealt with below.

[2] The subject in the highest sense being the Lord, it is He who is meant in that sense by 'one contending as a prince with God and with men', for by His own power He suffered all temptations and through them overcame the hells. Indeed He allowed into Himself all the hells in their order, and even the angels, as will be explained later on. In so doing he brought into order everything in the heavens and in the hells, and at length glorified Himself, that is, made the Human within Him Divine.

[3] From this it is evident that in the highest sense the Lord is meant by Jacob and Israel, as shown immediately above in 4286. Not only has He Himself 'contended as a prince', that is, has suffered all the conflicts brought about by temptations and has overcome in them, but also He suffers them in every individual human being. But see what has been stated many times already on these matters in the following references,

The Lord suffered the severest temptations, greater than anybody else has done, 1663, 1668, 1787, 2776, 2786, 2795, 2816.

Unlike any others the Lord fought out of Divine love, 1690, 1691 (end), 1789, 1812, 1813, 1820.

The Lord fought against hereditary evil from the mother, so that at length He was not her son; even so, no evil of His own doing was attached to Him, 1444, 1573, 2025, 2574, 2649, 3318 (end).

Through the conflicts brought about by temptations and through repeated victories the Lord arranged all things into the form which heaven possesses, 1928.

And through repeated victories in conflicts brought about by temptations He united the Divine Essence to the Human Essence, 1616, 1737, 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2500, 2523, 2632, 2776.

The Lord suffers the temptations that take place in man, subduing evil and the hells, 987, 1661, 1692 (end).

[4] The arcanum that 'contending with God and with men' means being tempted over truths and over goods is one that is not open to view in the letter. It is clear to anyone, and will also be evident from the explanation given below, that it was not God with whom Jacob contended, for it cannot be said of anyone that he contends with God and prevails. But the internal sense teaches what 'God' and 'men' mean here - that 'God' means truth, and 'men' good. The reason for this is that 'God' in the internal sense means truth, and therefore whenever truth is dealt with the name God is used, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, whereas the term 'man' is used to mean good. And 'man' means good because the Lord is the only Man and anyone else is called such by virtue of Him, 49, 288, 565, 1894. A further reason is that by virtue of Him heaven is man and is called the Grand Man, 684, 1276, 3624-3649, 3741-3750. And this also was why the Most Ancient Church which was governed by celestial good was referred to as Man, 478.

[5] Therefore whenever good is dealt with in the Word, 'man' (homo) means good, as in Isaiah,

I will make the male person (vir homo) more rare than gold, and man (homo) than the gold of Ophir. Isaiah 13:12.

In the same prophet,

The inhabitants of the land will be scorched and few male persons (vir homo) left. Isaiah 24:6.

'Male persons' stands for spiritual good or the good of truth. 'Man' stands for good. In the same prophet, The highways have been laid waste, the wayfarer has ceased. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he has no regard for the male person (vir homo). Isaiah 33:8.

In Jeremiah,

I looked to the earth, and behold, that which is void and empty, and towards the heavens, and they had no light I looked, and behold, there was no man; and all the birds of the air had flown away. Jeremiah 4:23, 25.

In the same prophet, behold, the days are coming, said Jehovah, in which I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. Jeremiah 31:27.

In Ezekiel,

Your merchants [traded] in the souls of men and vessels of bronze, giving these for your merchandise. Ezekiel 27:13.

In the same prophet, You, O my flock, the flock of My pasture, you are men; I am your God. Ezekiel 34:31.

In the same prophet, They will be cities laid waste, filled with the flock of mankind. Ezekiel 36:38.

In these places 'man' (homo) stands for people who are governed by good, and so stands for good, since good is what causes anyone to be 'man'. Truth however which is grounded in good is referred to in the Word as 'a male person' (vir homo) and also as 'the son of man'.
