The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #148
148. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 25
1-2 Against those who are in the sense of the letter of the Word, and who pervert the truths of religion by things which do not belong to religion, who are meant by the children of Ammon; (2)
3-5 because they wonder at the destruction of the church they will not know truths; (2)
6-7 because they have rejoiced over this, they will pervert truths. (2)
8-11 Still more when they pervert goods of the church. (2)
12-14 Of those who destroy the external of the Word and of doctrine: they will be rejected for a like reason. (3, 15)
15-17 Those who by falsities of faith devastate the church will be devastated and perish on the day of judgment. (3, 15)
Ezekiel 25:15-17
15
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;
16
therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17
I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.
