以西結書 42

Study

   

1 我出來向北,到外院,又我進入聖屋;這聖屋一排順著空地,一排與邊鋪石地之屋相對。

2 這聖屋長一肘,寬五十肘,有向北

3 對著內院那二十肘寬之空地,又對著外院的鋪石地,在第三層樓上有樓廊對著樓廊。

4 在聖屋前有條夾道,寬肘,長百肘。房向北

5 聖屋因為樓廊佔去些地方,所以上層比中下兩層窄些。

6 聖屋有層,卻無子,不像外院的屋子有子;所以上層比中下兩層更窄。

7 聖屋外,東邊有,靠著外院,長五十肘。

8 靠著外院的聖屋長五十肘。殿北面的聖屋長一肘。

9 在聖屋以,東頭有進入之處,就是從外院進入之處。

10 向南(原文是東)在內院裡有聖屋,一排與鋪石地之屋相對,一排順著空地。

11 這聖屋前的夾道與邊聖屋的夾道長寬一樣;出入之處與的樣式相同。

12 正在前、夾道的東,有可以進入,與向南聖屋的一樣。

13 他對我:順著空地的屋,都是屋;親近耶和華的祭司當在那裡的物,也當在那裡放至的物,就是素祭、贖祭,和贖愆祭,因此處為

14 祭司進去出了所的時候,不可直到外院,但要在屋放下他們供職的衣服,因為是衣;要穿上別的衣服才可以到屬民的外院。

15 他量完了內殿,就帶我出朝東的,量院的四圍。

16 他用量度的竿量四圍,量東面五肘(原文是竿;本章下同),

17 用竿量面五肘,.

18 用竿量面五肘,

19 到西面,用竿量五肘。

20 他量面,圍有,長五肘,寬五肘,為要分別地與俗地。

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).
