1 Χειρ Κυριου εσταθη επ' εμε· και με εξηγαγεν ο Κυριος δια πνευματος και με εθεσεν εν μεσω πεδιαδος και αυτη ητο πληρης οστεων.

2 Και με εκαμε να διελθω πλησιον αυτων κυκλω· και ιδου, ησαν πολλα σφοδρα επι το προσωπον της πεδιαδος· και ιδου, ησαν καταξηρα.

3 Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, δυνανται τα οστα ταυτα να αναζησωσι; Και ειπα, Κυριε Θεε, συ εξευρεις.

4 Και ειπε προς εμε, Προφητευσον επι τα οστα ταυτα και ειπε προς αυτα, Τα οστα τα ξηρα, ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου·

5 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος προς τα οστα ταυτα· Ιδου, εγω θελω εμβαλει εις εσας πνευμα και θελετε αναζησει·

6 και θελω βαλει εφ' υμας νευρα και αναγαγει σαρκα εφ' υμας και περισκεπασει υμας με δερμα, και θελω εμβαλει εις εσας πνευμα και θελετε αναζησει και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

7 Και προεφητευσα, ως προσεταχθην· και καθως προεφητευσα, εγεινεν ηχος, και ιδου, σεισμος, και τα οστα συνηλθον ομου, οστουν μετα του οστου αυτου.

8 Και ειδον και ιδου, νευρα και σαρκες ανεφυησαν επ' αυτα και δερμα περιεσκεπασεν αυτα επανω· πνευμα ομως δεν ητο εν αυτοις.

9 Και ειπε προς εμε, προφητευσον επι το πνευμα, προφητευσον, υιε ανθρωπου, και ειπε προς το πνευμα, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ελθε, πνευμα, εκ των τεσσαρων ανεμων και εμφυσησον επι τους πεφονευμενους τουτους και ας αναζησωσι.

10 Και προεφητευσα, ως προσεταχθην· και το πνευμα εισηλθεν εις αυτους και ανεζησαν και εσταθησαν επι τους ποδας αυτων, στρατευμα μεγα σφοδρα.

11 Και ειπε προς εμε, Υιε ανθρωπου, τα οστα ταυτα ειναι πας ο οικος Ισραηλ· ιδου, ουτοι λεγουσι, τα οστα ημων εξηρανθησαν και η ελπις ημων εχαθη· ημεις ηφανισθημεν.

12 Δια τουτο προφητευσον και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, λαε μου, εγω ανοιγω τους ταφους σας και θελω σας αναβιβασει εκ των ταφων σας, θελω σας φερει εις την γην του Ισραηλ.

13 Και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, οταν, λαε μου, ανοιξω τους ταφους σας και σας αναβιβασω εκ των ταφων σας.

14 Και θελω δωσει το πνευμα μου εις εσας και θελετε αναζησει και θελω σας θεσει εν τη γη υμων, και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ο Κυριος ελαλησα και εξετελεσα, λεγει Κυριος.

15 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

16 Και συ, υιε ανθρωπου, λαβε εις σεαυτον ραβδον μιαν και γραψον επ' αυτην περι του Ιουδα και περι των υιων Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου· λαβε και αλλην ραβδον και γραψον επ' αυτην περι του Ιωσηφ, της ραβδον του Εφραιμ, και παντος του οικου Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου.

17 Και συναψον αυτας εις σεαυτον μιαν προς μιαν εις ραβδον μιαν και θελουσι γεινει μια εν τη χειρι σου.

18 Και οταν οι υιοι του λαου σου ειπωσι προς σε, λεγοντες, Δεν θελεις απαγγειλει εις ημας τι δηλουσιν εις σε ταυτα;

19 ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, εγω θελω λαβει την ραβδον του Ιωσηφ, την εν τη χειρι του Εφραιμ, και των φυλων του Ισραηλ των συνακολουθων αυτου, και θελω βαλει εκεινας μετα ταυτης, της ραβδου του Ιουδα, και καμει αυτας μιαν ραβδον, και θελουσιν εισθαι μια εν τη χειρι μου.

20 Και αι ραβδοι, επι τας οποιας εγραψας, θελουσιν εισθαι εν τη χειρι σου ενωπιον αυτων.

21 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, εγω θελω λαβει τους υιους Ισραηλ εκ μεσου των εθνων οπου υπηγον, και θελω συναξει αυτους πανταχοθεν και φερει αυτους εις την γην αυτων.

22 Και θελω καμει αυτους εν εθνος εν τη γη, επι των ορεων του Ισραηλ· και εις βασιλευς θελει εισθαι βασιλευς επι παντας αυτους· και δεν θελουσιν εισθαι πλεον δυο εθνη και δεν θελουσιν εισθαι του λοιπου διηρημενοι πλεον εις δυο βασιλεια·

23 και δεν θελουσι μιαινεσθαι πλεον εν τοις ειδωλοις αυτων ουδε εν τοις βδελυγμασιν αυτων ουδε εν πασαις ταις παραβασεσιν αυτων· αλλα θελω σωσει αυτους εκ πασων των κατοικησεων αυτων, εν αις ημαρτησαν, και θελω καθαρισει αυτους· και θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων.

24 Και Δαβιδ ο δουλος μου θελει εισθαι βασιλευς επ' αυτους· και θελει εισθαι επι παντας αυτους εις ποιμην· και θελουσι περιπατει εν ταις κρισεσι μου και θελουσι φυλαττει τα διαταγματα μου και εκτελει αυτα.

25 Και θελουσι κατοικει εν τη γη, την οποιαν εδωκα εις τον δουλον μου τον Ιακωβ, οπου κατωκησαν οι πατερες σας· και εν αυτη θελουσι κατοικει, αυτοι και τα τεκνα αυτων και τα τεκνα των τεκνων αυτων, εως αιωνος· και Δαβιδ ο δουλος μου θελει εισθαι αρχων αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

26 Και θελω καμει προς αυτους διαθηκην ειρηνης· αυτη θελει εισθαι διαθηκη αιωνιος προς αυτους· και θελω στηριξει αυτους και πληθυνει αυτους, και θελω θεσει το αγιαστηριον μου εν μεσω αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

27 Και η σκηνη μου θελει εισθαι εν μεσω αυτων, και θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων και αυτοι θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου.

28 Και θελουσι γνωρισει τα εθνη οτι εγω ο Κυριος ειμαι ο αγιαζων τον Ισραηλ, οταν το αγιαστηριον μου ηναι εν μεσω αυτων εις τον αιωνα.

Scriptural Confirmations #14

  
/ 101  
  

14. 12. The Word was with God, and God was the Word; and all things were made by Him. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men; He was the true Light which lighteth every man: and the Word became flesh (John 1:1-14).

This was He who was before me, for He was prior to me. Of His fullness we have all received (John 1:15-16, 27, 30).

No one hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son of God, who is in the bosom of the Father, hath made Him manifest (John 1:18).

Whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose (John 1:27).

The Son of man which is in the heavens (John 3:13-14). Light has come into the world. He who does evils hates the light (John 3:19-20).

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom. Spoken concerning Christ (John 3:29).

He came from heaven and is therefore above all (John 3:31). Spoken concerning Christ.

The Father gave not the Spirit by measure unto Him; the Father gave all things into His hands (John 3:34-35).

Jesus says that He is equal to the Father; in various places (John 5:18-23). That He quickeneth, and that He hath life in Himself, etc. (John 5:21, 26-27).

The bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world (John 6:33). He is the bread of life (John 6:35, 50-51).

Not that any one has seen the Father, save He who is with the Father, He hath seen the Father (John 6:46).

Jesus said I am the light of the world; he that followeth Me shall have the light of life (John 8:12; 9:5, 39; 12:35-36, 46).

Jesus said, Before Abraham was, I am (John 8:56, 58). He came into the world that the blind might see, and that they which see might become blind (John 9:39).

Jesus said, I and the Father are one (John 10:30).

The Father and He are one (John 10:30).

He is in the Father and the Father in Him (John 14:10-11; 10:38; Philippians 1-4; 1 Corinthians 1:3).

That ye may believe that the Father is in Me and I in the Father (John 10:38; 14:10-11).

He that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me (John 13:20).

Jesus said, Believe in God, believe also in Me (John 14:1).

Jesus is the way to the Father (John 14:4-6).

He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6).

Jesus said, He that seeth and knoweth Me, seeth and knoweth the Father (John 14:7-9).

If ye shall ask of the Father in My name, I will do it (John 14:13-14).

Jesus said, Because I live, ye shall live (John 14:19). He and the Father will make their abode with them (John 14:21, 23).

God and Christ [mentioned] together; that I and the Father will come to him (John 14:23). I and the Father are one (John 10:30).

He that hateth Me hateth My Father (John 15:23-24). All things that the Father hath are Mine (John 16:15). Jesus goes away to the Father (John 16:5-7, 16-17, 29), which is to be united to Him.

They should pray in His name, I say not that I will pray the Father for you; the Father Himself loveth you because ye have loved Me (John 16:26-28). He often says, In His name.

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world; again I leave the world and go to the Father (John 16:28-31). Jesus said, the Father had given Him power over all flesh (John 17:2).

Jesus will give to them eternal life (John 17:2) also, the Son from the Father.

God and Jesus Christ [mentioned] together, namely that they both know each other (John 17:3).

Father glorify Thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee. Now therefore do Thou, O Father, glorify Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was (John 17:1, 5).

N. B. Arcanum. By "to glorify" is meant to unite the Divine Truth with the Divine Good in the Human. The Lord in the Father from eternity was the Divine Good and thence the Divine Truth, wherefore when He descended He was the Divine Truth from the Divine Good; a reciprocal union, or that of the Divine Truth with the Divine Good, was effected by the Lord in the Human while He was in the world: and it was accomplished successively, especially by redemption and by the fact that He did the will of the Father, and then fully by the last temptation, which was that of the cross, for temptation unites. Then was accomplished the reciprocal union of the Divine Truth with the Divine Good, thus the Father and Son are one, thus one Person like soul and body. All Mine are Thine and Thine are Mine, but I am glorified in them (John 17:10).

I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth (John 17:19).

That they may be one in Jesus as the Father is in Him (John 17:21-23).

Thomas said, my Lord and my God (John 20:28).
