The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 134
134. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 11
Doctrine falsified. (2)
1-3 Beginning of the perversion of the church by means of falsities (the caldron here meaning doctrine, and the flesh the people) 2 (2)
4-7 by falsifications of the truth of doctrine. (2)
8-11 It will be even worse, and they will perish by reason of things falsified, (3)
12 because they will pervert all things. (3, 3)
13-16 All who are in falsities must be scattered; the church will consist of few. (3, 11)
17-20 A new church will be instituted by the Lord, which will be in truths from Him, (11)
21 at the time when the former church is being destroyed. (3)
22-23 The Word will enlighten the new church. (11)
24-25 This is made manifest to those who are in spiritual captivity. (11)
Ezekiel 11:17-20
17
Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18
They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.
19
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
20
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
