1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με εν τω ετει τω ενατω εν τω μηνι τω δεκατω δεκατη του μηνος λεγων

2 υιε ανθρωπου γραψον σεαυτω εις ημεραν απο της ημερας ταυτης αφ' ης απηρεισατο βασιλευς βαβυλωνος επι ιερουσαλημ απο της ημερας της σημερον

3 και ειπον επι τον οικον τον παραπικραινοντα παραβολην και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος επιστησον τον λεβητα και εκχεον εις αυτον υδωρ

4 και εμβαλε εις αυτον τα διχοτομηματα παν διχοτομημα καλον σκελος και ωμον εκσεσαρκισμενα απο των οστων

5 εξ επιλεκτων κτηνων ειλημμενων και υποκαιε τα οστα υποκατω αυτων εζεσεν εζεσεν και ηψηται τα οστα αυτης εν μεσω αυτης

6 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ω πολις αιματων λεβης εν ω εστιν ιος εν αυτω και ο ιος ουκ εξηλθεν εξ αυτης κατα μελος αυτης εξηνεγκεν ουκ επεσεν επ' αυτην κληρος

7 οτι αιμα αυτης εν μεσω αυτης εστιν επι λεωπετριαν τεταχα αυτο ουκ εκκεχυκα αυτο επι την γην του καλυψαι επ' αυτο γην

8 του αναβηναι θυμον εις εκδικησιν εκδικηθηναι δεδωκα το αιμα αυτης επι λεωπετριαν του μη καλυψαι αυτο

9 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος καγω μεγαλυνω τον δαλον

10 και πληθυνω τα ξυλα και ανακαυσω το πυρ οπως τακη τα κρεα και ελαττωθη ο ζωμος

11 και στη επι τους ανθρακας οπως προσκαυθη και θερμανθη ο χαλκος αυτης και τακη εν μεσω ακαθαρσιας αυτης και εκλιπη ο ιος αυτης

12 και ου μη εξελθη εξ αυτης πολυς ο ιος αυτης καταισχυνθησεται ο ιος αυτης

13 ανθ' ων εμιαινου συ και τι εαν μη καθαρισθης ετι εως ου εμπλησω τον θυμον μου

14 εγω κυριος λελαληκα και ηξει και ποιησω ου διαστελω ουδε μη ελεησω κατα τας οδους σου και κατα τα ενθυμηματα σου κρινω σε λεγει κυριος δια τουτο εγω κρινω σε κατα τα αιματα σου και κατα τα ενθυμηματα σου κρινω σε η ακαθαρτος η ονομαστη και πολλη του παραπικραινειν

15 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων

16 υιε ανθρωπου ιδου εγω λαμβανω εκ σου τα επιθυμηματα των οφθαλμων σου εν παραταξει ου μη κοπης ουδε μη κλαυσθης

17 στεναγμος αιματος οσφυος πενθους εστιν ουκ εσται το τριχωμα σου συμπεπλεγμενον επι σε και τα υποδηματα σου εν τοις ποσιν σου ου μη παρακληθης εν χειλεσιν αυτων και αρτον ανδρων ου μη φαγης

18 και ελαλησα προς τον λαον το πρωι ον τροπον ενετειλατο μοι και απεθανεν η γυνη μου εσπερας και εποιησα το πρωι ον τροπον επεταγη μοι

19 και ειπεν προς με ο λαος ουκ αναγγελεις ημιν τι εστιν ταυτα α συ ποιεις

20 και ειπα προς αυτους λογος κυριου προς με εγενετο λεγων

21 ειπον προς τον οικον του ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω βεβηλω τα αγια μου φρυαγμα ισχυος υμων επιθυμηματα οφθαλμων υμων και υπερ ων φειδονται αι ψυχαι υμων και οι υιοι υμων και αι θυγατερες υμων ους εγκατελιπετε εν ρομφαια πεσουνται

22 και ποιησετε ον τροπον πεποιηκα απο στοματος αυτων ου παρακληθησεσθε και αρτον ανδρων ου φαγεσθε

23 και αι κομαι υμων επι της κεφαλης υμων και τα υποδηματα υμων εν τοις ποσιν υμων ουτε μη κοψησθε ουτε μη κλαυσητε και εντακησεσθε εν ταις αδικιαις υμων και παρακαλεσετε εκαστος τον αδελφον αυτου

24 και εσται ιεζεκιηλ υμιν εις τερας κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν ποιησετε οταν ελθη ταυτα και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος

25 και συ υιε ανθρωπου ουχι εν τη ημερα οταν λαμβανω την ισχυν παρ' αυτων την επαρσιν της καυχησεως αυτων τα επιθυμηματα οφθαλμων αυτων και την επαρσιν ψυχης αυτων υιους αυτων και θυγατερας αυτων

26 εν εκεινη τη ημερα ηξει ο ανασωζομενος προς σε του αναγγειλαι σοι εις τα ωτα

27 εν εκεινη τη ημερα διανοιχθησεται το στομα σου προς τον ανασωζομενον και λαλησεις και ου μη αποκωφωθης ουκετι και εση αυτοις εις τερας και επιγνωσονται διοτι εγω κυριος

6431. 'The blessings of the deep lying beneath' means with factual knowledge which belongs in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed with blessings' as being endowed with the kinds of things that derive from the spiritual world; and from the meaning of 'the deep lying beneath' as factual knowledge in the natural. The natural is called 'the deep lying beneath' when considered in relation to the interiors constituting the heaven spoken of above in 6430. And since the natural is meant by 'the deep lying beneath', so too is factual knowledge meant, for factual knowledge and its delights belong in the natural and compose its life. This is especially true of the spiritual man, for he is led through factual knowledge to truths, and through truths to good. From all this it is evident that 'being blessed with the blessings of the deep lying beneath' means being endowed in the natural with factual knowledge and so with truths. Factual knowledge that holds truths in it and that belongs in the natural is also meant by 'the deep' in the blessing of Joseph recorded in Moses,

Blessed by Jehovah is his land, in regard to the precious things of heaven, to the dew, to the deep also lying beneath. Deuteronomy 33:13.

Arcana Coelestia #2954

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

2954. 'I will give the price of the field, accept it from me' means redemption as regards the truths of the Church which come from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving the silver' as redeeming by means of truth, dealt with above in 2937, for 'silver' means truth, 1551; from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church, and also the doctrine of truth, dealt with in 368, 2936; and from the meaning of 'accept it from me' as a willing response with those who belong to the Church. That response involves a belief that redemption comes from the Lord alone. As for what redemption is, it is the same as reformation and regeneration, and therefore being delivered from hell and being saved. The redemption, or reformation and salvation, of members of the spiritual Church is effected by means of truth, whereas that of members of the celestial Church is effected by means of good.

[2] The reasons why have been stated in various places already - that spiritual people possess no will at all for what is good, but instead have been provided with an ability to understand what good is. The understanding of what is good is primarily called truth, and indeed the truth of faith, while the willing of it and from this the doing of it is called good. Spiritual persons therefore, by means of an understanding of good, or what amounts to the same, by means of truth, are led on to a will for what is good, or what amounts to the same, to good. They are not led on to any will for what is good from anything that is their own, since all will for what is good has with them been destroyed, 895, 927, 2124. Instead they are led on to a new will which they receive from the Lord, 863, 875, 1023, 1043, 1044; and when they have received this new will they specifically are called the redeemed.
