1 και ανελαβεν με πνευμα και ηγαγεν με επι την πυλην του οικου κυριου την κατεναντι την βλεπουσαν κατα ανατολας και ιδου επι των προθυρων της πυλης ως εικοσι και πεντε ανδρες και ειδον εν μεσω αυτων τον ιεζονιαν τον του εζερ και φαλτιαν τον του βαναιου τους αφηγουμενους του λαου

2 και ειπεν κυριος προς με υιε ανθρωπου ουτοι οι ανδρες οι λογιζομενοι ματαια και βουλευομενοι βουλην πονηραν εν τη πολει ταυτη

3 οι λεγοντες ουχι προσφατως ωκοδομηνται αι οικιαι αυτη εστιν ο λεβης ημεις δε τα κρεα

4 δια τουτο προφητευσον επ' αυτους προφητευσον υιε ανθρωπου

5 και επεσεν επ' εμε πνευμα κυριου και ειπεν προς με λεγε ταδε λεγει κυριος ουτως ειπατε οικος ισραηλ και τα διαβουλια του πνευματος υμων εγω επισταμαι

6 επληθυνατε νεκρους υμων εν τη πολει ταυτη και ενεπλησατε τας οδους αυτης τραυματιων

7 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος τους νεκρους υμων ους επαταξατε εν μεσω αυτης ουτοι εισιν τα κρεα αυτη δε ο λεβης εστιν και υμας εξαξω εκ μεσου αυτης

8 ρομφαιαν φοβεισθε και ρομφαιαν επαξω εφ' υμας λεγει κυριος

9 και εξαξω υμας εκ μεσου αυτης και παραδωσω υμας εις χειρας αλλοτριων και ποιησω εν υμιν κριματα

10 εν ρομφαια πεσεισθε επι των οριων του ισραηλ κρινω υμας και επιγνωσεσθε οτι εγω κυριος

11 αυτη υμιν ουκ εσται εις λεβητα και υμεις ου μη γενησθε εν μεσω αυτης εις κρεα επι των οριων του ισραηλ κρινω υμας

12 και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος

13 και εγενετο εν τω προφητευειν με και φαλτιας ο του βαναιου απεθανεν και πιπτω επι προσωπον μου και ανεβοησα φωνη μεγαλη και ειπα οιμμοι οιμμοι κυριε εις συντελειαν συ ποιεις τους καταλοιπους του ισραηλ

14 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων

15 υιε ανθρωπου οι αδελφοι σου και οι ανδρες της αιχμαλωσιας σου και πας ο οικος του ισραηλ συντετελεσται οις ειπαν αυτοις οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ μακραν απεχετε απο του κυριου ημιν δεδοται η γη εις κληρονομιαν

16 δια τουτο ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος οτι απωσομαι αυτους εις τα εθνη και διασκορπιω αυτους εις πασαν την γην και εσομαι αυτοις εις αγιασμα μικρον εν ταις χωραις ου αν εισελθωσιν εκει

17 δια τουτο ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος και εισδεξομαι αυτους εκ των εθνων και συναξω αυτους εκ των χωρων ου διεσπειρα αυτους εν αυταις και δωσω αυτοις την γην του ισραηλ

18 και εισελευσονται εκει και εξαρουσιν παντα τα βδελυγματα αυτης και πασας τας ανομιας αυτης εξ αυτης

19 και δωσω αυτοις καρδιαν ετεραν και πνευμα καινον δωσω εν αυτοις και εκσπασω την καρδιαν την λιθινην εκ της σαρκος αυτων και δωσω αυτοις καρδιαν σαρκινην

20 οπως εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου πορευωνται και τα δικαιωματα μου φυλασσωνται και ποιωσιν αυτα και εσονται μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον

21 και εις την καρδιαν των βδελυγματων αυτων και των ανομιων αυτων ως η καρδια αυτων επορευετο τας οδους αυτων εις κεφαλας αυτων δεδωκα λεγει κυριος

22 και εξηραν τα χερουβιν τας πτερυγας αυτων και οι τροχοι εχομενοι αυτων και η δοξα θεου ισραηλ επ' αυτα υπερανω αυτων

23 και ανεβη η δοξα κυριου εκ μεσης της πολεως και εστη επι του ορους ο ην απεναντι της πολεως

24 και ανελαβεν με πνευμα και ηγαγεν με εις γην χαλδαιων εις την αιχμαλωσιαν εν ορασει εν πνευματι θεου και ανεβην απο της ορασεως ης ειδον

25 και ελαλησα προς την αιχμαλωσιαν παντας τους λογους του κυριου ους εδειξεν μοι

245. The four living creatures, each individually having six wings about it. (4:8) This symbolizes the Word in respect to its powers and protections.

We have already shown above that the four living creatures symbolize the Word. We will see below that wings symbolize powers and also protections.

The number six symbolizes completeness in respect to truth and goodness, as six is formed of three and two multiplied together, and three symbolizes completeness in respect to truth (no. 505), while two symbolizes completeness in respect to goodness (no. 762).

Wings symbolize powers because they are means of rising upward. Moreover, in the case of birds they take the place of the arms in the human being, and arms symbolize powers.

Since wings symbolize powers, and each living creature had six wings, it is apparent from what we said above what power is symbolized by each one's wings, namely, that the wings of the lion symbolize the power of combating the evils and falsities arising from hell, this being the power of the Word's Divine truth from the Lord; that the wings of the calf symbolize the power to affect hearts, for the Divine truth of the Word affects people who read it reverently; that the six wings of the human being symbolize the power to perceive the nature of God and what pertains to God, as this is peculiarly the mark of a human being in reading the Word; and that the wings of the eagle symbolize the power to recognize truth and good, and so to acquire for oneself intelligence.

[2] As regards the wings of cherubim, we read in Ezekiel that their wings kissed each other, that they had wings also covering their bodies, and that they had the likeness of hands under their wings (Ezekiel 1:23-24; 3:13; 10:5, 21). Kissing each other symbolizes conjoint and unanimous action. Covering their bodies symbolizes protection against violation of the interior truths which constitute the spiritual sense of the Word. And having the likeness of hands under their wings symbolizes powers.

Regarding seraphim, too, we are told that they had six wings, and that with two of them they covered their face, and with two their feet, and with two they flew (Isaiah 6:2). Seraphim likewise symbolize the Word, or more accurately doctrine drawn from the Word. The wings with which they covered their faces and feet likewise symbolize protections. And the wings with which they flew symbolize powers, as before.

That flying symbolizes to perceive and teach, and in the highest sense to foresee and provide, is clear as well from the following:

(God) rode upon a cherub, He flew, and He traveled on the wings of the wind. (Psalms 18:10, cf. 2 Samuel 22:11)

I saw (an) angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel... (Revelation 14:6)

[3] That wings symbolize protections is apparent from the following:

(Jehovah) covers you under His wing. (Psalms 91:4)

(To be hidden) under the shadow of (God's) wings... (Psalms 17:8)

(To trust) in the shadow of (His) wings. (Psalms 36:7; 57:1, cf. 63:7)

I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. (Ezekiel 16:8)

To you (shall be) healing in His wings. (Malachi 4:2)

As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings..., carrying them on its wings, so Jehovah... leads him... (Deuteronomy 32:11-12)

(Jesus said,) "O Jerusalem...! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings... (Matthew 23:37, Luke 13:34)

8 Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.
