以西結書第47章

学习

   

1 他帶我回到殿,見殿的往東流出(原來殿面朝東)。這從檻,由殿的右邊,在祭壇邊往流。

2 他帶我出,又領我從外邊轉到朝東的外,見從右邊流出。

3 拿準繩往東出去的時候,量了一肘,使我逿過到踝子骨。

4 他又量了一肘,使我逿過就到膝;再量了一肘,使我逿過便到腰;

5 又量了一肘,便成了,使我不能逿過。因為勢漲起,成為可洑的,不可逿的

6 他對我:人子啊,你見了甚麼?他就帶我回到邊。

7 我回到邊的時候,見在這邊與那邊的岸上有極多的樹木

8 他對我:這水往東方流去,必到亞拉巴,直到。所發出的水必流入鹽,使水變甜(原文是得醫治;同)。

9 水所到之處,凡滋生的動物都必生活,並且因這的水必有極多的魚,海水也變甜了。這水所到之處,百物都必生活。

10 必有漁夫站在河邊,從隱基底直到隱以革蓮,都作曬(或譯:張)網之處。那魚各從其類,好像的魚甚多。

11 只是泥濘之地與窪濕之處不得治好,必為地。

12 這邊與那邊的岸上必生長各類的樹木;其果可作食物,子不枯乾,果子不斷絕。每必結新果子,因為這水是從聖所出來的。上的果子必作食物,子乃為治病。

13 耶和華如此:你們要照的境界,按以色列支派分為業。約瑟必得兩分。

14 你們承受這為業,要彼此均分;因為我曾起誓應許將這賜與你們的列祖;這必歸你們為業。

15 的四界乃是如此:界從往希特倫,直到西達達口。

16 又往哈馬、比羅他、西伯蓮(西伯蓮在大馬色與哈馬兩界中間),到浩蘭邊界的哈撒哈提干。

17 這樣,境界從邊往大馬色地界上的哈薩以難,邊以哈馬地為界。這是界。

18 東界在浩蘭、大馬色、基列,和以色列的中間,就是約但河。你們要從北界量到東。這是東界。

19 界是從他瑪到米利巴加低斯的水,延到埃及小,直到。這是界。

20 西界就是,從南界直到哈馬口對面之地。這是西界。

21 你們要按著以色列的支派彼此分這

22 要拈鬮分這地為業,歸與自己和你們中間寄居的外人,就是在你們中間生養兒女的外人。你們要看他們如同以色列人中所生的一樣;他們在以色列支派中要與你們同得地業

23 外人寄居在哪支派中,你們就在那裡分他地業。這是耶和華的。

Apocalypse Revealed#409

409. And it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. This symbolically means that consequently all the Word's truths had been completely falsified.

Rivers symbolize truths in abundance, because waters symbolize truths (no. 50); and springs of water or fountains symbolize the Word (no. 384). The meaning is that the Word's truths had been completely falsified, because in the next verse we are told that a third of the waters became wormwood, and wormwood symbolizes hellish falsity (no. 410).

[2] That rivers symbolize truths in abundance can be seen from the following passages:

...I am doing a new thing... ...I will give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen. (Isaiah 43:19-20)

...I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and rivers on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessing on your descendants. (Isaiah 44:3)

Then... the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert plain. (Isaiah 35:6)

I will open rivers in the heights, and put fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. (Isaiah 41:18)

(Jehovah) has founded (the world) upon the seas, ...established it upon the rivers. (Psalms 24:2)

I will set His hand over the sea, and His right hand on the rivers. (Psalms 89:25)

Was Jehovah angry with the rivers? Was Your anger against the rivers? Was Your wrath against the sea, that You rode on Your horses...? (Habakkuk 3:8)

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God... (Psalms 46:4)

He showed me a pure river of water of life..., proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)

He split the rocks in the wilderness, and made the great abysses drink... ...He struck the rock..., and rivers flowed out... (Psalms 78:15-16, 20, cf. 105:41)

The waters will fail in the sea, and the river will be... dried up. (Isaiah 19:5-7; cf. 42:15; 50:2, Nahum 1:4, Psalms 107:33, Job 14:11)

(Jesus said, "If anyone comes to Me,) as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water." (John 7:37-38)

And so, too, elsewhere, such as Isaiah 33:21, Jeremiah 17:7-8, Deuteronomy 8:7.

[3] In an opposite sense, however, rivers symbolize falsities in abundance, as can be seen from the following:

(It) will send ambassadors by sea... to a nation... downtrodden, whose land the rivers have despoiled. (Isaiah 18:2)

If not for Jehovah on our side..., ...the waters would have overwhelmed us, (and) the river would have gone over our soul. (Psalms 124:2, 4-5)

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you. (Isaiah 43:2)

The cords of death surrounded me, and the rivers of Belial terrified me. (Psalms 18:5)

(The dragon) spewed water out of its mouth like a river after the woman, that it might cause her to be swallowed up by the stream. (Revelation 12:15)

...behold, Jehovah will cause to rise over them the waters of the river, strong and many..., and it will... overflow and pass through, and reach up to the neck. (Isaiah 8:7-8)

...the floods came, and... rushed upon that house; and (yet) it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. (Matthew 7:25; cf. 7:27, Luke 6:48-49)

Rivers here, too, stand for falsities in abundance, because the rock symbolizes the Lord in relation to Divine truth.

Rivers also symbolize temptations or trials, because temptations or trials are inundations of falsities.
