1 Και οταν κληρονητε την γην εις κληρονομιαν, θελετε χωρισει μεριδα εις τον Κυριον, μεριδα αγιαν εκ της γης· το μηκος θελει εισθαι μηκος εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδων καλαμων και το πλατος δεκα χιλιαδων· τουτο θελει εισθαι αγιον κατα παντα τα ορια αυτου κυκλω.

2 Εκ τουτου θελουσιν εισθαι δια το αγιαστηριον πεντακοσιαι κατα μηκος με πεντακοσιας κατα πλατος, τετραγωνον κυκλω, και πεντηκοντα πηχαι κυκλω δια τα προαστεια αυτου.

3 Κατα τουτο λοιπον το μετρον θελεις μετρησει μηκος εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδων και πλατος δεκα χιλιαδων, και εν τουτω θελει εισθαι το αγιαστηριον, το αγιον των αγιων.

4 Τουτο θελει εισθαι εκ της γης, αγια μερις δια τους ιερεις, τους λειτουργουντας εν τω αγιαστηριω, τους πλησιαζοντας δια να λειτουργωσιν εις τον Κυριον· και θελει εισθαι εις αυτους τοπος δια οικιας και τοπος αγιος δια το αγιαστηριον.

5 Και εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδας μηκους και δεκα χιλιαδας πλατους θελουσιν εχει οι Λευιται δι' εαυτους, οι υπηρεται του οικου, δια ιδιοκτησιαν μετα εικοσι θαλαμων.

6 Και θελετε δωσει δια ιδιοκτησιαν της πολεως πεντε χιλιαδας πλατους και εικοσιπεντε χιλιαδας μηκους πλησιον της αγιας μεριδος· τουτο θελει εισθαι δι' απαντα τον οικον Ισραηλ·

7 και δια τον αρχοντα θελει εισθαι μερις εντευθεν και εκειθεν της αγιας μεριδος και της ιδιοκτησιας της πολεως, κατα προσωπον της αγιας μεριδος και κατα προσωπον της ιδιοκτησιας της πολεως, απο του δυτικου προς δυσμας και απο του ανατολικου προς ανατολας· και το μηκος θελει εισθαι πλησιον μιας εκαστης των μεριδων, απο του δυτικου οριου προς το ανατολικον οριον.

8 Εις γην θελει εισθαι εις αυτον η ιδιοκτησια, εν τω Ισραηλ· και οι αρχοντες μου δεν θελουσι πλεον καταβλιβει τον λαον μου· το υπολοιπον δε της γης θελουσι δωσει εις τον οικον Ισραηλ κατα τας φυλας αυτων.

9 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Αρκει εις εσας, αρχοντες του Ισραηλ· απομακρυνατε την βιαν και αρπαγην και καμνετε κρισιν και δικαιοσυνην· σηκωσατε τας καταδυναστειας σας απο του λαου μου, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

10 Δικαιαν πλαστιγγα θελετε εχει και δικαιον εφα και δικαιον βαθ.

11 Το εφα και το βαθ θελουσιν εισθαι του αυτου μετρου, ωστε το βαθ να περιλαμβανη το δεκατον του χομορ και το εφα το δεκατον του χομορ· το μετρον αυτου θελει εισθαι κατα το χομορ.

12 Και ο σικλος θελει εισθαι εικοσι γερα· εικοσι σικλοι, εικοσιπεντε σικλοι, δεκαπεντε σικλοι, θελει εισθαι η μνα σας.

13 Η υψουμενη προσφορα, την οποιαν θελετε προσφερει, ειναι αυτη· Το εκτον του εφα ενος χομορ σιτου· και θελετε διδει το εκτον του εφα ενος χομορ κριθης.

14 Περι δε του διαταγματος του ελαιου, ενος βαθ ελαιου, θελετε προσφερει το δεκατον του βαθ δια εν κορ, το οποιον ειναι εν χομορ εκ δεκα βαθ· διοτι δεκα βαθ ειναι εν χομορ.

15 Και εκ του ποιμνιου εν προβατον απο των διακοσιων, απο των παχειων βοσκων του Ισραηλ, δια προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων και δια ολοκαυτωμα και δια ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να καμνη εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

16 Πας ο λαος της γης θελει διδει ταυτην την υψουμενην προσφοραν εις τον αρχοντα εν τω Ισραηλ.

17 Εις δε τον αρχοντα ανηκει να διδη τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας εξ αλφιτων προσφορας και τας σπονδας, εν ταις εορταις και εν ταις νεομηνιαις και εν τοις σαββασι κατα πασας τας πανηγυρεις του οικου Ισραηλ· αυτος θελει ετοιμαζει την περι αμαρτιας προσφοραν και την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και το ολοκαυτωμα και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να καμνη εξιλεωσιν υπερ του οικου Ισραηλ.

18 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εν τω πρωτω μηνι, τη πρωτη του μηνος, θελεις λαμβανει μοσχον βοος αμωμον και θελεις καθαριζει το αγιαστηριον·

19 και ο ιερευς θελει λαμβανει απο του αιματος της περι αμαρτιας προσφορας και θελει θετει επι τους παραστατας του οικου και επι τας τεσσαρας γωνιας της οφρυος του θυσιαστηριου και επι τους παραστατας της πυλης της εσωτερας αυλης.

20 Και ουτω θελεις καμνει τη εβδομη του μηνος υπερ παντος αμαρτανοντος εξ αγνοιας και υπερ του απλου· ουτω θελετε καμνει εξιλεωσιν υπερ του οικου.

21 Εν τω πρωτω μηνι, τη δεκατη τεταρτη ημερα του μηνος, θελει εισθαι εις εσας το πασχα, εορτη επτα ημερων· αζυμα θελουσι τρωγει.

22 Και κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν ο αρχων θελει ετοιμαζει υπερ εαυτου και υπερ παντος του λαου της γης μοσχον δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

23 Και εν ταις επτα ημεραις της εορτης θελει καμνει ολοκαυτωματα εις τον Κυριον, επτα μοσχους και επτα κριους αμωμους καθ' ημεραν εν ταις επτα ημεραις, και τραγον εξ αιγων καθ' ημεραν δια προσφοραν περι αμαρτιας.

24 Και θελει ετοιμαζει προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων ενος εφα δια τον μοσχον και ενος εφα δια τον κριον και ενος ι ελαιου εις το εφα.

25 Εν τω εβδομω μηνι, τη δεκατη πεμπτη ημερα του μηνος, θελει καμνει εν τη εορτη κατα τα αυτα επτα ημερας, κατα την προσφοραν την περι αμαρτιας, κατα τα ολοκαυτωματα και κατα την εξ αλφιτων προσφοραν και κατα το ελαιον.

Apocalypse Revealed # 945

945. 22:8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. This means that John supposed that the angel sent to him by the Lord to keep him in a state of the spirit was the God who revealed these things, when in fact that was not the case, as the angel only showed him what the Lord presented.

Clearly John supposed that the angel sent to him was the Lord Himself, for we are told that he fell down to worship before the angel's feet. But that it was not as he supposed is apparent from the next verse, in which the angel tells him that he is his fellow servant: "Worship God." That the angel was sent to John by the Lord is apparent from verse 16, which says, "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches."

But behind this lies the following secret: The Lord sent the angel to John in order to keep him in a state of the spirit and to show him in that state the visions he saw. For whatever John saw, he saw not with the eyes of his body, but with the eyes of his spirit, as can be seen from the passages in which he says that he was in the spirit and seeing a vision (Revelation 1:10; 9:17; 17:3; 21:10), thus everywhere that he says "he saw." And a person can enter that state and be kept in it only by angels who are closely attached to the person, who induce their own spiritual state on the interiors of his mind. For this raises the person into the light of heaven, and in that light he sees sights in heaven and not in the world.

[2] Ezekiel, Zechariah, Daniel, and other prophets were at times in the same state, but not when they spoke the Word. When they spoke the Word they were not in the spirit, but conscious in the body, and the words they wrote they heard from Jehovah Himself, that is, from the Lord.

These two states experienced by the prophets must be properly distinguished. The prophets themselves also properly distinguished them, for they everywhere say when they wrote the Word from Jehovah that Jehovah spoke with them and to them, and most often, "Thus says Jehovah," or "the word of Jehovah." However, when they were in the other state, they say that they were in the spirit or seeing in a vision, as can be seen from the following: (Ezekiel said,) "The spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision... of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity. So the vision that I saw went up upon me." (Ezekiel 11:1, 24)

Ezekiel says that the spirit lifted him up and that he heard behind him an earthquake, among other things (Ezekiel 3:12, 14). Also that the spirit lifted him up between earth and heaven, and brought him in visions of God to Jerusalem, where he saw abominations (Ezekiel 8:3ff.). Therefore he was also seeing in a vision of God or in the spirit when he saw four living creatures, which were cherubim (Ezekiel 1 and 10). And when he saw a new temple and a new land, and an angel measuring them (Ezekiel 40; 41; 42; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48). He says that he was then seeing in the visions of God (Ezekiel 40:2), and that the spirit lifted him up (Ezekiel 43:5).

[3] It was the same with Zechariah, who had an angel with him at the time when he saw a man riding among the myrtle trees (Zechariah 1:8ff.). When he saw the four horns, and then the man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 1:18; 2:1ff.). When he saw Joshua, the high priest (Zechariah 3:1ff.). When he saw the lampstand and two olive trees (Zechariah 4:1ff.). When he saw the flying scroll and the ephah (Zechariah 5:1, 6). And when he saw the four chariots and their horses coming from between two mountains (Zechariah 6:1ff.).

Daniel was in the same state when he saw four beasts coming up from the sea (Daniel 7:1ff.), and when he saw the combat of the ram and the male goat (Daniel 8:1ff.). That he saw these sights in visions is said in Daniel 7:1-2, 7, 13; 8:2; 10:1, 7-8. Moreover, that he saw the angel Gabriel and spoke with him in a vision (Daniel 9:21).

It was the same with John when he saw the sights he described, as when he saw the Son of Man in the midst of the seven lampstands; when he saw the tabernacle, 1 the temple, 2 the ark, 3 and the altar 4 in heaven; the dragon and its combat with Michael; 5 the beasts; 6 the woman sitting on the scarlet beast; 7 the new heaven and new earth, and the holy Jerusalem with its wall, gates, and foundations; 8 and more.

These sights were revealed by the Lord, but shown by an angel.

Revelation 21

1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away."

5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

6 He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.

7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride."

10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

13 On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

15 He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.

16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand Twelve stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.

19 The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

23 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),

26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.

27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
