και ειπεν προς με προφητευσον επι τα οστα ταυτα και ερεις αυτοις τα οστα τα ξηρα ακουσατε λογον κυριου
Ezekiel 37:4
Ezekiel 35
1
και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
2
υιε ανθρωπου επιστρεψον το προσωπον σου επ' ορος σηιρ και προφητευσον επ' αυτο
3
και ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ιδου εγω επι σε ορος σηιρ και εκτενω την χειρα μου επι σε και δωσω σε ερημον και ερημωθηση
4
και ταις πολεσιν σου ερημιαν ποιησω και συ ερημος εση και γνωση οτι εγω ειμι κυριος
5
αντι του γενεσθαι σε εχθραν αιωνιαν και ενεκαθισας τω οικω ισραηλ δολω εν χειρι εχθρων μαχαιρα εν καιρω αδικιας επ' εσχατω
6
δια τουτο ζω εγω λεγει κυριος κυριος ει μην εις αιμα ημαρτες και αιμα σε διωξεται
7
και δωσω το ορος σηιρ εις ερημον και ηρημωμενον και απολω απ' αυτου ανθρωπους και κτηνη
8
και εμπλησω των τραυματιων σου τους βουνους και τας φαραγγας σου και εν πασι τοις πεδιοις σου τετραυματισμενοι μαχαιρα πεσουνται εν σοι
9
ερημιαν αιωνιον θησομαι σε και αι πολεις σου ου μη κατοικηθωσιν ετι και γνωση οτι εγω ειμι κυριος
10
δια το ειπειν σε τα δυο εθνη και αι δυο χωραι εμαι εσονται και κληρονομησω αυτας και κυριος εκει εστιν
11
δια τουτο ζω εγω λεγει κυριος και ποιησω σοι κατα την εχθραν σου και γνωσθησομαι σοι ηνικα αν κρινω σε
12
και γνωση οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ηκουσα της φωνης των βλασφημιων σου οτι ειπας τα ορη ισραηλ ερημα ημιν δεδοται εις καταβρωμα
13
και εμεγαλορημονησας επ' εμε τω στοματι σου εγω ηκουσα
14
ταδε λεγει κυριος εν τη ευφροσυνη πασης της γης ερημον ποιησω σε
15
ερημον εση ορος σηιρ και πασα η ιδουμαια εξαναλωθησεται και γνωση οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο θεος αυτων
Scriptural Confirmations #89
89. 7. From the Prophets
See also Redemption.
Thus said Jehovah, thy Maker and thy Former from the womb, For I will pour waters upon the thirsty and streams upon the dry land: I will pour out My spirit upon thy seed and My blessing upon thine offspring: and they shall spring up among the grass, and as willows by the rivers of waters (Isaiah 44:2-3, 4). I have formed thee; thus said thy Redeemer and thy Former from the womb, I am Jehovah that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; and spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself. I will blot out as a cloud, thy transgressions and as a cloud thy sins: return unto Me; for I have redeemed thee (Isaiah 44:21-24).
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds flow down with justice: let the earth open that they may bring forth salvation, and let justice spring forth together. Thus said Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and His Former, I have made the earth, and I have created man upon it: My hands have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded (Isaiah 45:8, 11-12).
Jehovah said, my Former from the womb (Isaiah 49:5).
That regeneration, which will take place in the New Church, is described by dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-15), and also by the two sticks of Judah and Joseph, which were to become one stick (verses 15-20). That this is done by the Lord, who is there meant by David (verses 24-28).
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a steadfast spirit in the midst of me. And take not the spirit of holiness from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let Thy free spirit uphold me (Psalms 51:10-12).
Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, and He will hear their cry (Psalms 145:18-19).
