Ezekijel 43

Estude

   

1 Zatim me povede k vratima što gledaju na istok.

2 I gle, Slava Boga Izraelova dolazi od istoka; šum joj kao šum velikih voda: i zemlja se sjala od slave njegove.

3 To viđenje koje gledah bijaše kao viđenje što ga vidjeh kad dođoh da uništim grad i kao viđenje koje vidjeh na rijeci Kebaru. Padoh ničice.

4 A Slava Jahvina uđe u Dom na vrata koja gledaju na istok.

5 Tada me duh podiže i odvede u unutrašnje predvorje. I gle: Dom bijaše pun Slave Jahvine.

6 I čuh glas koji mi iz Doma govori, a kraj mene netko stajaše.

7 I reče mi: "Sine čovječji, ovo je mjesto mojega prijestolja, ovo je mjesto stopa mojih nogu: ovdje ću, posred sinova Izraelovih, prebivati zauvijek. Izraelov dom neće više oskvrnjivati moje sveto ime - ni oni ni njihovi kraljevi - svojim bludništvom i truplima svojih kraljeva:

8 stavili su svoj prag do moga, svoje dovratnike do mojih, tako da je bio samo zid između mene i njih, i oskvrnjivali su moje sveto ime gnusobama koje počiniše. I zato ih zatrijeh u svojem gnjevu.

9 Sada će oni ukloniti daleko od mene svoje bludništvo i trupla svojih kraljeva, a ja ću zauvijek prebivati posred njih.

10 Sine čovječji, pokaži domu Izraelovu ovaj Dom da se posrame sa svojih bezakonja. Neka mu izmjere razmjere.

11 Ako se posrame zbog svega što učiniše, opiši im Dom i njegove razmjere, njegove izlaze i ulaze, sve njegovo obličje, sve propise i sve zakone; upoznaj ih i nacrtaj im da vide i da čuvaju i provedu sve njegovo obličje i sve propise o njemu.

12 A ovo je zakon za Dom: navrh gore, sav prostor uokolo, bit će najsvetija svetinja.

13 Ovo su mjere žrtvenika, na laktove - a lakat je ovdje jedan lakat i pedalj: podnožje žrtvenika lakat dugo, lakat široko; obrub kojim je obrubljen uokolo - jedan pedalj. Visina žrtvenika:

14 od podnožja na zemlji do donjega pojasa žrtvenika - dva lakta, a u širinu jedan lakat; od manjeg pojasa do većega četiri lakta, a u širinu jedan lakat.

15 A samo žrtvište: četiri lakta visoko. A sa žrtvišta dižu se uvis četiri roga.

16 Žrtvište: dvanaest lakata dugo, dvanaest lakata široko, četvorina, na sve četiri strane.

17 A pojas: četrnaest lakata dug i četrnaest lakata širok, na četiri strane; njegov rub uokolo pol lakta, a podnožje oko njega uokolo jedan lakat; stepenice mu gledaju na istok."

18 I reče mi: "Sine čovječji, ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Ovo su propisi žrtveni po kojima se u svoje vrijeme mora podići žrtvenik da se na njemu prinose paljenice i da se po njemu škropi krvlju.

19 Svećenicima levitima, potomcima Sadokovim, koji pristupaju k meni da mi služe - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - dat ćeš june za žrtvu okajnicu.

20 Uzet ćeš njegove krvi i njome pomazati četiri roga žrtvišta i četiri ugla pojasa i obrub sve uokolo da okajnicom pomiriš žrtvenik.

21 Zatim uzmi june i spali ga na odijeljenom mjestu Doma, izvan Svetišta.

22 Sutradan prinesi jarca bez mane kao okajnicu, neka se njime okaje žrtvenik kao što je okajan junetom.

23 A kad ga okaješ, prinesi junca bez mane i ovna bez mane iz stada:

24 prikaži ih pred Jahvom, a svećenici neka ih pospu solju i neka ih prinesu kao paljenicu Jahvi.

25 Sedam dana svaki dan prinesi jednog jarca za grijeh; i neka se prinese june i ovan iz stada, oba bez mane.

26 Sedam dana neka se pomiruje žrtvenik i neka se čisti i posvećuje.

27 Pošto se navrše ti dani, od osmoga dana unapredak neka svećenici žrtvuju na žrtveniku vaše paljenice i pričesnice; i omiljet ćete mi' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda."

Throne

  

'The Lord's throne' signifies, in general, the whole heaven, and specifically, the spiritual heaven, and by extension, divine truth proceeding, and so, everything of heaven and the church.

In Genesis 41:40, this signifies things that are natural. (Arcana Coelestia 5313)

In Exodus 11:5, this signifies the falsified truths of faith that have wrongly receive attention. (Arcana Coelestia 7779)

'The throne built by Solomon,' as mentioned in 1 Kings 10:18-20, signifies both royalty and judgment.

In Isaiah 66:1, this signifies celestial and spiritual things which when they relate to the Divine are like natural things to man's spiritual and celestial. (Arcana Coelestia 2162[8])

In Matthew 25:31, this signifies judgment. (Arcana Coelestia 4809[3])

In Revelation 1:4, this signifies the universal heaven. 'Throne' signifies heaven and judgment.

'Throne,' as in Revelation 4:2, signifies a representation of judgment, because the things which John saw were representative visions. He saw them as he described them, but they were forms representative of things to come.

In Revelation 8:2, this signifies the church regarding doctrine.

'Throne,' as in Revelation 12:5, signifies the angelic heaven.

'Throne' also signifies the government of falsity and evil in Revelation 2:13, 8:2, Daniel 7:9, Haggai 2:22, and Isaiah 14:13.

8. And signified, sending by His angel, to His servant John, signifies which are revealed out of heaven to those who are in the good of love. This is evident from the signification of "signified," as being the things in the sense of the letter that contain and thus signify those that are in the internal sense; for it is said, "the revelation which God gave to show, and signified;" and by the things that He signified are meant those that are in the sense of the letter, because all these signify, while the things that are signified are those that are contained in the internal sense. For all things in the Word are significative of spiritual things, which are in the internal sense. This is also evident from the signification of "sending by His angel," as meaning, which are revealed out of heaven; for "to send" is to reveal, and "by an angel" is out of heaven. "To send" is to reveal, because everything that is sent out of heaven is revelation; for that which is there is what is revealed; and this is the spiritual which relates to the church and its state; but with man this is changed into the natural, such as is expressed in the sense of the letter in Revelation and elsewhere in the Word. That which comes out of heaven can be presented to man in no other way; for the spiritual falls into its corresponding natural when it descends out of the spiritual world into the natural. This is why the prophetic Word in the sense of the letter is such as it is, and being such, is in its bosom spiritual and is Divine. By "angel" is meant "out of heaven," because that which an angel speaks is out of heaven; for when an angel communicates to man such things as pertain to heaven and the church, he does not speak as man speaks with man, who brings forth out of his memory what another has told him; but that which an angel speaks flows in continuously, not into his memory, but immediately into his understanding, and from that into words. From this it is that all things that the angels spoke to the prophets are Divine, and nothing at all from the angels. Whether it be said, that these revelations are out of heaven, or are from the Lord, it is the same; because the Divine of the Lord with the angels constitutes heaven, and nothing whatever from the angels' proprium [selfhood, or what is their own]. (But this may be better understood from what is said and shown in Heaven and Hell 2-12, 254).

[2] The things revealed out of heaven are said to be for those who are in the good of love, because it is said, "sending by His angel to His servant John," and by "John" those who are in the good of love are represented and meant. For by the twelve apostles are represented and signified all in the church who are in truths from good; consequently, all truths from good, from which is the church; and by each of the apostles in particular something special; thus by "Peter" faith; by "James" charity; and by "John" the good of charity or the good of love. Because John represented this good, the revelation was made to him; for revelation out of heaven, such as this, can be made only to those who are in the good of charity or of love. Others, indeed, can hear the things that are from heaven, but they cannot perceive them. Only those who are in the good of love have spiritual perception. This is because they receive heavenly things not only with the hearing, but also with the love; and to receive with the love is to receive fully, since the things so received are loved; moreover, those who thus receive, see these things in their understanding, where the sensation of their internal sight is. That this is so has been proven to me by much experience. It might also be elucidated by much rational argument; but the subject cannot just now be amplified so far.

It is here only necessary to say, that all names mentioned in the Word signify not persons but things; that "John," for instance, signifies such as are in the good of love, thus in the abstract the good of love itself. (That all names in the Word signify things may be seen in the Arcana Coelestia 768, 1888, 4310, 4442, 10329.

That the names of persons and places in the Word cannot enter heaven, but that they are changed into the things that they signify, n. 1876, 5225, 6516, 10216, 10282, 10432.

How exquisite the internal sense of the Word is, even where mere names are mentioned, illustrated by examples, n. 1224, 1264, 1888.

That the twelve disciples of the Lord represented, and thence signified, all things of faith and love in the complex, in like manner as the twelve tribes of Israel, n. 2129, 3354, 3488, 3858, 6397.

That "Peter," "James," and "John" represented, and thence signified, faith, charity, and the good of charity, in their order, see preface to Genesis 18 [in n. 2135] Genesis 22, in n. 2760, and in 3934, 8581, 10087)
