Ezekiel 39:24

Study

       

24 I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them.

Commentary

 

To go up and to go down

  

Going up refers to going towards spiritual and celestial things, for these are inward things, and are also believed to be higher. Going down refers to going towards natural and earthly things, for these are outward things, and also appear lower.
