1 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς σέ

2 καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ' ἐμὲ πνεῦμα καὶ ἀνέλαβέν με καὶ ἐξῆρέν με καὶ ἔστησέν με ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας μου καὶ ἤκουον αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πρός με

3 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἐξαποστέλλω ἐγώ σε πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ισραηλ τοὺς παραπικραίνοντάς με οἵτινες παρεπίκρανάν με αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

4 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος

5 ἐὰν ἄρα ἀκούσωσιν ἢ πτοηθῶσιν διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστίν καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σὺ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

6 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτοὺς μηδὲ ἐκστῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν διότι παροιστρήσουσι καὶ ἐπισυστήσονται ἐπὶ σὲ κύκλῳ καὶ ἐν μέσῳ σκορπίων σὺ κατοικεῖς τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν μὴ φοβηθῇς καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν μὴ ἐκστῇς διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστίν

7 καὶ λαλήσεις τοὺς λόγους μου πρὸς αὐτούς ἐὰν ἄρα ἀκούσωσιν ἢ πτοηθῶσιν διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστίν

8 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἄκουε τοῦ λαλοῦντος πρὸς σέ μὴ γίνου παραπικραίνων καθὼς ὁ οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων χάνε τὸ στόμα σου καὶ φάγε ἃ ἐγὼ δίδωμί σοι

9 καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ χεὶρ ἐκτεταμένη πρός με καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ κεφαλὶς βιβλίου

10 καὶ ἀνείλησεν αὐτὴν ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ γεγραμμένα ἦν τὰ ὄπισθεν καὶ τὰ ἔμπροσθεν καὶ ἐγέγραπτο εἰς αὐτὴν θρῆνος καὶ μέλος καὶ οὐαί

3 καὶ ἀνέστη ιωνας τοῦ φυγεῖν εἰς θαρσις ἐκ προσώπου κυρίου καὶ κατέβη εἰς ιοππην καὶ εὗρεν πλοῖον βαδίζον εἰς θαρσις καὶ ἔδωκεν τὸ ναῦλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέβη εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦ πλεῦσαι μετ' αὐτῶν εἰς θαρσις ἐκ προσώπου κυρίου

8304. 'Doing wonders?' means that He is the Source of all the means through which comes power. This is clear from the meaning of 'wonders', or miracles, as the means used by Divine power, dealt with in 6910. The reason why 'wonders' are the means used by Divine power is that by them the people were led to believe that Jehovah was the highest of Gods, indeed that there was no God besides Him, and therefore that He alone was to be worshipped. And those who received this truth were afterwards introduced to truths concerned with the worship of Him, which are the means of power. For all power in the spiritual sense resides in truths which come from the Divine, 3091, 6344, 6423, 6948, 8200. Power in the spiritual sense consists in putting to flight and casting away from oneself the hellish crew, which is done solely by means of truths. This then is why 'doing wonders' means that the Lord is the Source of all the means through which comes power.

The means used by Divine power are meant by 'wonders' also in David,

Sing to Jehovah, make melody to Him; meditate on all His wonders. Glory in His holy name. Seek Jehovah and His strength; seek His face continually. Remember His wonders, His marvels, and the judgements of His mouth. Psalms 105:1-5.

The possession of all power by the truths of faith received from the Lord is evident from the Lord's words to Peter,

I tell you, You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 16:18-19.

'Peter' here represents faith, 'rock' in the Word is a sign of faith, and 'key' is used to mean power, see Preface to Genesis 22

, and also 4738 (end), 6344 (end).
