Ezekiel 38

Studie

   

1 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi,

2 Anak ng tao, iharap mo ang iyong mukha sa dako ni Gog, sa lupain ng Magog, na prinsipe sa Ros, sa Mesech, at sa Tubal, at manghula ka laban sa kaniya,

3 At iyong sabihin, ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, ako'y laban sa iyo, Oh Gog, na pangulo sa Ros, sa Mesech, at sa Tubal:

4 At aking ipipihit ka sa palibot, at kakawitan ko ng mga pangbingwit ang iyong mga panga, at ilalabas kita, at ang iyong buong kawal, mga kabayo at mga mangangabayo, na nasusuutan silang lahat ng buong kasakbatan, na malaking pulutong na may longki at kalasag, silang lahat ay nangagtatangan ng mga tabak:

5 Ang Persia, ang Cus, at ang Phut ay kasama nila; silang lahat na may kalasag at turbante;

6 Ang Gomer at ang lahat niyang mga pulutong; ang sangbahayan ni Togarma sa mga pinakahuling bahagi ng hilagaan, at lahat niyang mga pulutong; maraming bayan na kasama mo.

7 Humanda ka, oo, humanda ka, ikaw, at ang lahat ng iyong mga pulutong na napisan ko sa iyo, at maging bantay ka sa kanila.

8 Pagkatapos ng maraming araw ay dadalawin ka: sa mga huling taon ay papasok ka sa lupain na ibinalik na mula sa paghabol ng tabak na napisan mula sa maraming bayan, sa mga bundok ng Israel, na naging laging giba; nguni't nalabas sa mga bayan, at sila'y magsisitahang tiwasay, silang lahat.

9 At ikaw ay sasampa, ikaw ay darating na parang bagyo, ikaw ay magiging parang ulap na tatakip sa lupain, ikaw, at ang lahat mong mga pulutong, at ang maraming tao na kasama mo.

10 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na mga bagay ay darating sa iyong pagiisip, at ikaw ay magpapanukala ng masamang panukala:

11 At iyong sasabihin, Ako'y sasampa sa lupaing may mga nayong walang kuta; sasampahin ko sila na nasa katahimikan, na nagsisitahang tiwasay, silang lahat na nagsisitahang walang kuta, at wala kahit mga halang o mga pintuang-bayan man;

12 Upang kumuha ng samsam, at upang kumuha ng huli; upang ibalik ang iyong kamay laban sa mga gibang dako na tinatahanan ngayon, at laban sa bayan na napisan mula sa mga bansa, na nagtangkilik ng mga hayop at mga pag-aari, na nagsisitahan sa gitna ng lupa.

13 Ang Seba, at ang Dedan, at ang mga mangangalakal sa Tarsis, sangpu ng lahat ng batang leon niyaon, ay magsasabi sa iyo, Naparito ka baga upang kumuha ng samsam? pinisan mo baga ang iyong pulutong upang kumuha ng samsam? upang magdala ng pilak at ginto, upang magdala ng mga hayop at mga pag-aari, upang kumuha ng malaking samsam?

14 Kaya't, anak ng tao, ikaw ay manghula, at sabihin mo kay Gog, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sa araw na ang aking bayang Israel ay tatahang tiwasay, hindi mo baga malalaman?

15 At ikaw ay darating na mula sa iyong dako, mula sa mga kahulihulihang bahagi ng hilagaan, ikaw, at ang maraming tao na kasama mo, silang lahat na nangakasakay sa mga kabayo, malaking pulutong at makapangyarihang hukbo;

16 At ikaw ay sasampa laban sa aking bayang Israel, na parang ulap na tatakip sa lupain: mangyayari sa mga huling araw, na dadalhin kita laban sa aking lupain, upang makilala ako ng mga bansa, pagka ako'y aariing banal sa iyo, Oh Gog, sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.

17 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Ikaw baga yaong aking sinalita nang una sa pamamagitan ng aking mga lingkod na mga propeta ng Israel, na nagsipanghula nang mga araw na yaon, ng tungkol sa malaong panahon, na aking dadalhin ka laban sa kanila?

18 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, pagka si Gog ay paroroon laban sa lupain ng Israel, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, na ang aking kapusukan ay sasampa sa aking mga butas ng ilong.

19 Sapagka't sa aking paninibugho at sa sigalbo ng aking poot ay nagsalita ako, Tunay na sa araw na yaon ay magkakaroon ng malaking panginginig sa lupain ng Israel;

20 Na anopa't ang mga isda sa dagat, at ang mga ibon sa himpapawid, at ang mga hayop sa parang, at lahat na nagsisiusad na bagay na nagsisiusad sa ibabaw ng lupa, at lahat ng tao na nangasa ibabaw ng lupa, magsisipanginig sa aking harapan, at ang mga bundok ay mangaguguho at ang mga matarik na dako ay mangabababa, at bawa't kuta ay mangababagsak sa lupa.

21 At aking tatawagin sa lahat ng aking mga bundok ang tabak laban sa kaniya, sabi ng Panginoong Dios: ang tabak ng bawa't lalake ay magiging laban sa kaniyang kapatid.

22 At ako'y makikipaglaban sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ng salot at ng dugo; at pauulanan ko siya, at ang kaniyang mga pulutong, at ang maraming bayan na kasama niya, ng napakalakas na ulan, at ng mga malaking granizo, ng apoy, at ng azufre.

23 At ako'y pakikitang dakila at banal, at ako'y pakikilala sa harap ng mga mata ng maraming bansa; at kanilang malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

53. 25. A day of cloud and thick darkness (Ezekiel 34:12).

(I will make Mount Seir and the cities thereof into a waste and devastation, into a waste of eternity (Ezekiel 35:3-4, 7, 9, 12, 14-15).

Then the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built (Ezekiel 36:10).

When I shall sanctify Myself among you, then I will give you a new heart, and I will give a new spirit in the midst of you and I will take away the heart of stone, and will give you a heart of flesh, and I will give a new spirit in your midst, and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God (Ezekiel 36:23, 26-28).

In the day that I have cleansed you from all your iniquities, I will make you to dwell in cities, and the waste places shall be built; they shall say, This land that was devastated is become as the garden of Eden, and the desolate and devastated cities are fortified and inhabited (Ezekiel 36:33-38).

Behold I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will lead you upon the land of Israel, and I will put my spirit in you that ye may live (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Concerning the dry bones: by the inflowing of the breath among them, and their living again, regeneration is described.

After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter days they shall come upon the land that was made a waste (Ezekiel 38:8, 16).

They shall bury Gog in the day in which I shall be glorified (Ezekiel 39:11-12, 13). Gog is one who is in external worship, but not in internal.

Of the great sacrifices upon the mountains of Israel, and that thus He will set His glory among the nations that they may know that Jehovah is their God from that day, and hence-forward (Ezekiel 39:17-22).

Of the New Church which is described by many things in Ezekiel 40-48: of the city which is the New Jerusalem, and of its gates (40): of the temple, etc. (41): of the court and of the chambers there (42): of the eastern gate where the glory of the God of Israel is seen, and of His worship (43): next of His worship and of ministration (44): of the statutes for the prince (45, 46): of waters from the house (47) of the allotment of the land according to tribes (47, 48). That the name of the city is, Jehovah there (48:35).

Ezekiel 46

Studie

   

1 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2 The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Yahweh on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Yahweh shall be on the Sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5 and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

6 On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:

7 and he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

8 When the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by its way.

9 But when the people of the land shall come before Yahweh in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.

10 The prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11 In the feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

12 When the prince shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Yahweh, one shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

13 You shall prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Yahweh daily: morning by morning you shall prepare it.

14 You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to Yahweh continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.

16 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

17 But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not be scattered every man from his possession.

19 Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north: and behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.

20 He said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, [and] where they shall bake the meal offering; that they not bring them forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 In the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure.

23 There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.

24 Then he said to me, These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
