1 Ty synu člověčí, prorokuj ještě proti Gogovi a rci: Takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Aj, já povstanu proti tobě, ó Gogu, kníže a hlavo v Mešech a Tubal.

2 A odvedu tě zpět, navštívě tě šesti ranami, když tě vzbudím, abys přitáhl od stran půlnočních, a přivedu tě na hory Izraelské.

3 Nebo vyrazím lučiště tvé z ruky tvé levé, a střely z ruky tvé pravé vyvrhu.

4 Na horách Izraelských padneš ty i všickni houfové tvoji i národové, kteříž budou s tebou; ptákům a všemu ptactvu křídla majícímu i zvěři polní dám tě k sežrání.

5 Na svrchku pole padneš; neboť jsem já mluvil, praví Panovník Hospodin.

6 Vypustím také oheň na Magoga i na ty, kteříž přebývají na ostrovích bezpečně, i zvědíť, že já jsem Hospodin.

7 A jméno svatosti své uvedu v známost u prostřed lidu svého Izraelského. Nedopustím, pravím, více poškvrňovati jména svatosti své, i zvědíť národové, že já jsem Hospodin Svatý v Izraeli.

8 Aj, přijdeť a stane se to, praví Panovník Hospodin, téhož dne, o kterémž jsem mluvil.

9 Tehdy vyjdou obyvatelé měst Izraelských, a zapálíce, popálí zbroj a štíty i pavézy, lučiště i střely, dřevce i kopí, a budou je páliti ohněm sedm let.

10 Aniž nositi budou dříví s pole, ani sekati v lesích, proto že zbrojí zaněcovati budou oheň, když zloupí ty, kteříž je loupívali, a mocí poberou těm, kteříž jim mocí brávali, praví Panovník Hospodin.

11 I stane se v ten den, že dám Gogovi místo ku pohřbu tam v Izraeli, údolí, kudyž se jde k východní straně k moři, kteréžto zacpá ústa tudy jdoucích. I pohřbí tam Goga i všecko množství jeho, a nazovou je údolí množství Gogova.

12 Nebo pochovávati je budou dům Izraelský za sem měsíců proto, aby vyčistili zemi.

13 A tak pohřbí je všecken lid té země, a bude jim to ku poctivosti v den, v kterýž oslaven budu, praví Panovník Hospodin.

14 Oddělíť pak muže statečné, kteříž by procházeli tu zemi, proto aby pochovávali ty, kteříž by pozůstali na svrchku země, aby ji vyčistili. Po vyjití sedmi měsíců přehledávati začnou.

15 A ti procházejíce, choditi budou po zemi, a když uzří kosti člověčí, vzdělají při nich znamení pamětné, aby je pohřbili hrobaři v údolí množství Gogova.

16 Nýbrž to množství jeho bude k slávě i městu, když vyčistí tu zemi.

17 Ty pak synu člověčí, takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Rci ke všelijakým ptákům křídla majícím i ke všelijaké zvěři polní: Shromažďte se a přiďte, zbeřte se odevšad k obětem mým, kterýchž já nabiji vám,obětí velikých na horách Izraelských, a budete jísti maso a píti krev.

18 Maso silných reků jísti budete, a krev knížat zemských píti, skopců, beranů a kozlů, volků, všecko tučných Bázanských.

19 A budete jísti tuk do sytosti, a píti krev do opití z obětí mých, kterýchž vám nabiji.

20 A nasytíte se z stolu mého koňmi i jezdci, silnými reky i všemi muži válečnými, dí Panovník Hospodin.

21 A tak zjevím slávu svou mezi národy, aby viděli všickni národové soud můj, kterýž jsem vykonal, i ruku mou, kterouž jsem doložil na ně.

22 I zvíť dům Izraelský, že já jsem Hospodin Bůh jejich, od tohoto dne i potom.

23 Zvědí také i národové, že pro svou nepravost zajat jest dům Izraelský, proto že se dopouštěli přestoupení proti mně; pročež jsem skryl tvář svou před nimi, a vydal jsem je v ruku protivníků jejich, aby padli mečem všickni napořád.

24 Podlé nečistoty jejich a podlé zpronevěření se jejich učinil jsem jim, a skryl jsem tvář svou před nimi.

25 Z té příčiny takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Jižť zase přivedu zajaté Jákobovy, a smiluji se nade vším domem Izraelským a horliti budu příčinou jména svatosti své,

26 Ač ponesou potupu svou a všecko přestoupení své, kteréhož se dopustili proti mně, když bydlili v zemi své bezpečně, aniž byl, kdo by je přestrašil.

27 A však je zase přivedu z národů, a shromáždím je z zemí nepřátel jejich, a posvěcen budu v nich před očima národů mnohých.

28 A tak poznají, že já jsem Hospodin Bůh jejich, když zaveda je do národů, shromáždím je do země jejich, a nepozůstavím tam žádného z nich.

29 Aniž skryji více tváři své před nimi, když vyleji Ducha svého na dům Izraelský, praví Panovník Hospodin.

1159. And all things fat and splendid have departed from thee.- That this signifies that all goods and truths, and things auspicious and magnificent, which they have persuaded themselves, they would be able to acquire by means of that religion, are changed into the contrary, is evident from the signification of fat things, which denote goods and auspicious things therefrom, of which we shall speak presently; and from the signification of things splendid, which denote truths and things magnificent therefrom. The reason why this is the signification of things splendid, is, that splendour is the result of light, and the light of heaven is Divine Truth or Divine Wisdom, which is the cause of all things in the heavens shining with a splendour unknown in the world. It may be compared with the brilliancy of a diamond turned to the sun, but the splendour seen in heaven far exceeds this, just as the light of heaven exceeds the light of the world, the difference between which is so great, that while it may be illustrated by comparisons, yet it cannot be described. All the magnificent things of heaven, exist from that light, and these chiefly consist of forms corresponding to wisdom, which are such that in the world they can neither be pictured nor described. For in them art itself is in its art, and science is in its wisdom, consequently they are of ineffable beauty. It is evident from these facts why things splendid signify truths and thence things magnificent.

[2] The reason why fat things signify goods and auspicious things therefrom, is, that the fat is the best part of flesh, and that it is like oil, which signifies the good of love. That fatness signifies good and those things that belong to it, thus happiness and joys, is clear from the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

"Attending attend unto me, eat ye good, that your soul may be delighted in fatness" (55:2).

To eat good signifies to appropriate good to themselves; thence by delighting in fatness is signified to be in a state of happiness and blessedness.

In Jeremiah:

"I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with good" (31:14).

Here also fatness signifies happiness and blessing from the good of love.

In David:

"My soul shall be satisfied with fat and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips" (Psalm 63:5).

The soul being satisfied with fat and fatness, signifies to be filled with the good of love and with joy therefrom. To praise with joyful lips signifies to worship by means of truths which gladden the mind.

Again:

"Thy houses shall be filled with fatness, and thou shalt cause them to drink of the stream of delights" (Psalm 36:8).

The fatness with which the houses shall be filled, signifies the good of love, and happiness therefrom, houses denoting things pertaining to the mind. The river of the delights, of which they shall drink, signifies intelligence and happiness therefrom.

[3] In Isaiah:

"In this mountain shall Jehovah Zebaoth make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow and of wine on the lees well refined" (25:6).

These things are said concerning the state of those who would acknowledge and adore the Lord. By that mountain is signified a new church from them; by the feast of fat things, of fat things full of marrow, is signified good both natural and spiritual with joy of heart; and by the lees, lees well refined, are signified truths from that good with the happiness therefrom.

In the same prophet:

"Jehovah shall give the rain of thy seed, with which thou shalt sow the earth, and bread of the produce of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous" (30:23).

The rain of seed signifies the multiplication of truth; and bread of produce the fructification of good. By fat and plenteous is signified good and truth with all its satisfaction and happiness.

In David:

"As yet they shall have increase in old age, they shall be fat and green, to show that Jehovah is right" (Psalm 92:14, 15).

To be fat and green signifies to be in goods and truths of doctrine.

Again:

"Jehovah shall remember all thy offerings and shall make fat thy burnt offering" (Psalm 20:3).

By offerings and burnt offering is signified worship, and by making it fat is signified that it is from the good of love.

The signification of fatness in Ezekiel 34:3; Genesis 27:39, and elsewhere is similar. Because fat and fatness signify the good of love, and because all worship, which is truly worship, must be from the good of love, therefore it was a law that all the fat in the sacrifices should be burnt upon the altar (Exodus 29:13, 22; Leviticus 1:8; 3:3-16; 4:8-35; 7:3, 4, 30, 31; 17:6; Numbers 18:17, 18); for the sacrifices and burnt offerings signified worship.

[4] Since the Jews and Israelites were only in external worship, and not at the same time in internal worship, and not therefore in any good of love, or in any good of charity and faith, they were therefore prohibited from eating fat and blood, and it was a law that if they ate these, they should be cut off (Leviticus 3:17; 7:23, 25). But to those who are in internal worship, and thence in external worship - as those will be who shall belong to the Lord's New Church - it is said, that they shall eat fat to fulness, and drink blood to drunkenness (ebrietas) (Ezekiel 39:19). Fat there signifies all the good of heaven and of the church, and blood all the truth of these. In the opposite sense the fat ones signify those who loathe good and who utterly despise and reject it (Deuteronomy 32:15; Jeremiah 5:28; 50:11; Psalm 17:10; 20:4; 68:31; 119:70; and elsewhere).

[5] Continuation.- Such, however, is not the lot of those who are continually evil, for these are in hell according to the loves of their life. There they think, and from their thought, speak, although they utter falsities; they also will, and, from their will they act, although their actions are evil. They appear, moreover to one another as men, although in the light of heaven they are of a monstrous form. It is therefore evident, why it is in accordance with a law of order relating to reformation, and called a law of Divine Providence, that a man is admitted into the truths of faith and the goods of love, only so far as he can be withheld from evils and kept in goods to the end of his life and that it is better that he should be always evil, than that he should be good and afterwards evil; for in this case he becomes profane. The Lord, who both provides and foresees all things, for this reason conceals the operations of His Providence, and to such a degree that man scarcely knows whether there is any providence at all. He permits him rather to attribute ordinary events to prudence, and contingencies to fortune, and even to ascribe many things to nature, rather than that, through any striking and manifest signs of the Divine Providence and Presence, he should plunge unreasonably into the midst of holy things in which he would not remain. The Lord also permits similar things in accordance with other laws of His Providence, namely, that man should enjoy freedom, and that in all that he does he should act according to reason, thus entirely as if from himself. For it is better that he should ascribe the operations of the Divine Providence to prudence and fortune, than that he should acknowledge them, and still live as a devil. From these facts it is evident that the laws of permission, which are numerous, proceed from the laws of Providence.
