1 وكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا

2 يا ابن آدم اجعل وجهك على جوج ارض ما جوج رئيس روش ماشك وتوبال وتنبأ عليه

3 وقل. هكذا قال السيد الرب. هانذا عليك يا جوج رئيس روش ماشك وتوبال.

4 وارجعك واضع شكائم في فكيك واخرجك انت وكل جيشك خيلا وفرسانا كلهم لابسين افخر لباس جماعة عظيمة مع اتراس ومجان كلهم ممسكين السيوف

5 فارس وكوش وفوط معهم كلهم بمجن وخوذة

6 وجومر وكل جيوشه وبيت توجرمة من اقاصي الشمال مع كل جيشه شعوبا كثيرين معك.

7 استعد وهيّئ لنفسك انت وكل جماعاتك المجتمعة اليك فصرت لهم موقرا.

8 بعد ايام كثيرة تفتقد. في السنين الاخيرة تأتي الى الارض المستردة من السيف المجموعة من شعوب كثيرة على جبال اسرائيل التي كانت دائما خربة للذين أخرجوا من الشعوب وسكنوا آمنين كلهم.

9 وتصعد وتأتي كزوبعة وتكون كسحابة تغشي الارض انت وكل جيوشك وشعوب كثيرون معك.

10 هكذا قال السيد الرب. ويكون في ذلك اليوم ان أمورا تخطر ببالك فتفكر فكرا رديئا

11 وتقول اني اصعد على ارض اعراء. آتي الهادئين الساكنين في امن كلهم ساكنون بغير سور وليس لهم عارضة ولا مصاريع

12 لسلب السلب ولغنم الغنيمة لرد يدك على خرب معمورة وعلى شعب مجموع من الامم المقتني ماشية وقنية الساكن في اعالي الارض.

13 شبا وددان وتجار ترشيش وكل اشبالها يقولون لك هل لسلب سلب انت جاء. هل لغنم غنيمة جمعت جماعتك لحمل الفضة والذهب لأخذ الماشية والقنية لنهب نهب عظيم

14 لذلك تنبأ يا ابن آدم وقل لجوج. هكذا قال السيد الرب. في ذلك اليوم عند سكنى شعبي اسرائيل آمنين أفلا تعلم.

15 وتأتي من موضعك من اقاصي الشمال انت وشعوب كثيرون معك كلهم راكبون خيلا جماعة عظيمة وجيش كثير.

16 وتصعد على شعبي اسرائيل كسحابة تغشي الارض. في الايام الاخيرة يكون. وآتي بك على ارضي لكي تعرفني الامم حين اتقدس فيك امام اعينهم يا جوج

17 هكذا قال السيد الرب. هل انت هو الذي تكلمت عنه في الايام القديمة عن يد عبيدي انبياء اسرائيل الذين تنبأوا في تلك الايام سنينا ان آتي بك عليهم.

18 ويكون في ذلك اليوم يوم مجيء جوج على ارض اسرائيل يقول السيد الرب ان غضبي يصعد في انفي.

19 وفي غيرتي في نار سخطي تكلمت انه في ذلك اليوم يكون رعش عظيم في ارض اسرائيل.

20 فترعش امامي سمك البحر وطيور السماء ووحوش الحقل والدابّات التي تدب على الارض وكل الناس الذين على وجه الارض وتندك الجبال وتسقط المعاقل وتسقط كل الاسوار الى الارض.

21 واستدعي السيف عليه في كل جبالي يقول السيد الرب. فيكون سيف كل واحد على اخيه.

22 واعاقبه بالوبإ وبالدم وامطر عليه وعلى جيشه وعلى الشعوب الكثيرة الذين معه مطرا جارفا وحجارة برد عظيمة ونارا وكبريتا.

23 فاتعظم واتقدس وأعرف في عيون امم كثيرة فيعلمون اني انا الرب

Scriptural Confirmations #53

  
/ 101  
  

53. 25. A day of cloud and thick darkness (Ezekiel 34:12).

(I will make Mount Seir and the cities thereof into a waste and devastation, into a waste of eternity (Ezekiel 35:3-4, 7, 9, 12, 14-15).

Then the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built (Ezekiel 36:10).

When I shall sanctify Myself among you, then I will give you a new heart, and I will give a new spirit in the midst of you and I will take away the heart of stone, and will give you a heart of flesh, and I will give a new spirit in your midst, and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God (Ezekiel 36:23, 26-28).

In the day that I have cleansed you from all your iniquities, I will make you to dwell in cities, and the waste places shall be built; they shall say, This land that was devastated is become as the garden of Eden, and the desolate and devastated cities are fortified and inhabited (Ezekiel 36:33-38).

Behold I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will lead you upon the land of Israel, and I will put my spirit in you that ye may live (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Concerning the dry bones: by the inflowing of the breath among them, and their living again, regeneration is described.

After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter days they shall come upon the land that was made a waste (Ezekiel 38:8, 16).

They shall bury Gog in the day in which I shall be glorified (Ezekiel 39:11-12, 13). Gog is one who is in external worship, but not in internal.

Of the great sacrifices upon the mountains of Israel, and that thus He will set His glory among the nations that they may know that Jehovah is their God from that day, and hence-forward (Ezekiel 39:17-22).

Of the New Church which is described by many things in Ezekiel 40-48: of the city which is the New Jerusalem, and of its gates (40): of the temple, etc. (41): of the court and of the chambers there (42): of the eastern gate where the glory of the God of Israel is seen, and of His worship (43): next of His worship and of ministration (44): of the statutes for the prince (45, 46): of waters from the house (47) of the allotment of the land according to tribes (47, 48). That the name of the city is, Jehovah there (48:35).

1 Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to Yahweh, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand [reeds], and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all its border all around.

2 Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred [in length] by five hundred [in breadth], square all around; and fifty cubits for its suburbs all around.

3 Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy.

4 It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to Yahweh; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.

5 Twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be to the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession to themselves, [for] Twenty rooms.

6 You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

7 [Whatever is] for the prince [shall be] on the one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy offering and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.

8 In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Let it suffice you, princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my people, says the Lord Yahweh.

10 You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.

11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: its measure shall be after the homer.

12 The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.

13 This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat; and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley;

14 and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, [which is] ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;)

15 and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel--for a meal offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them, says the Lord Yahweh.

16 All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.

17 It shall be the prince's part to give the burnt offerings, and the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meal offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.

18 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the first [month], in the first [day] of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish; and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.

19 The priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.

20 So you shall do on the seventh [day] of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple: so you shall make atonement for the house.

21 In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

22 On that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.

23 The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Yahweh, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering.

24 He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

25 In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall he do the like the seven days; according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meal offering, and according to the oil.
