Hesekiel第19章

学习

   

1 Du aber mache eine Wehklage über die Fürsten Israels

2 und sprich: Warum liegt deine Mutter, die Löwin, unter den Löwinnen und erzeucht ihre Jungen unter den jungen Löwen?

3 Derselbigen eins zog sie auf, und ward ein junger Löwe daraus; der gewöhnte sich, die Leute zu reißen und fressen.

4 Da das die Heiden von ihm höreten, fingen sie ihn in ihren Gruben und führeten ihn an Ketten nach Ägyptenland.

5 Da nun die Mutter sah, daß ihre Hoffnung verloren war, da sie lange gehoffet hatte, nahm sie ein anderes aus ihren Jungen und machte einen jungen Löwen daraus.

6 Da der unter den Löwinnen wandelte, ward er ein junger Löwe; der gewohnte auch, die Leute zu reißen und fressen.

7 Er lernte ihre Witwen kennen und verwüstete ihre Städte, daß das Land, und was drinnen ist, vor der Stimme seines Brüllens sich entsetzte.

8 Da legten sich die Heiden aus allen Ländern ringsumher und warfen ein Netz über ihn und fingen ihn in ihren Gruben

9 und stießen ihn gebunden in ein Gatter und führeten ihn zum Könige zu Babel; und man ließ ihn verwahren, daß seine Stimme nicht mehr gehöret würde auf den Bergen Israels.

10 Deine Mutter war wie ein Weinstock, gleichwie du, am Wasser gepflanzet, und ihre Frucht und Reben wuchsen von dem großen Wasser,

11 daß seine Reben so stark wurden, daß sie zu HERRENzeptern gut waren, und ward hoch unter den Reben. Und da man sah, daß er so hoch und viel Reben hatte,

12 ward er im Grimm zu Boden gerissen und verworfen; der Ostwind verdorrete seine Frucht, und seine starken Reben wurden zerbrochen, daß sie verdorreten und verbrannt wurden.

13 Nun aber ist sie gepflanzet in der Wüste, in einem dürren, durstigen Lande,

14 und ist ein Feuer ausgegangen von ihren starken Reben, das verzehret ihre Frucht, daß in ihr keine starke Rebe mehr ist zu eines HERRN Zepter. Das ist ein kläglich und jämmerlich Ding.

728. And her child was caught up unto God and His throne.- That this signifies the protection of the doctrine by the Lord, because it is for the New Church, is evident from the signification of the child or male child, which was brought forth by the woman who was encompassed with the sun, under whose feet was the moon, and on whose head was a crown of twelve stars, as denoting doctrine from the Word, and in fact the doctrine of truth, that is, the doctrine of love to the Lord and of charity towards the neighbour, and lastly of faith; and from the signification of being caught up unto God and His throne, as denoting protection by the Lord from the dragon, that stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, with the intention and desire of devouring that which should be brought forth. Such protection by the Lord against those who are meant by the dragon is signified here by these words. And as that doctrine is to be the doctrine of the church which is called the New Jerusalem, therefore it is said to be protected because it is for the New Church. It is said, "Caught up unto God and His throne," God meaning the Lord, and His throne heaven; it is caught up unto the Lord and to heaven, because that doctrine is from the Lord, and heaven is in that doctrine.

[2] An expression is also used of Enoch, the son of Jared, similar to that applied here to the child born of the woman, which it is said "was caught up unto God," but in these words "Enoch walked with God, and was no more, because God took him" (Genesis 5:24). Who are meant by this Enoch, and what Enoch signifies has been disclosed to me from heaven, namely, that they were those of the Most Ancient Church who collected together the representatives and correspondences of natural things with spiritual. For the men of the Most Ancient Church had a spiritual understanding and perception of all things which they saw with their eyes, and thus from the objects in the world they clearly perceived the spiritual things to which they corresponded. And because the Lord foresaw that this spiritual perception would perish with their posterity, and with this perception also the knowledge of correspondences, through which the human race has conjunction with heaven, therefore the Lord provided that some of those who lived among the most ancient people should make a compilation of correspondences and reduce them to book form (in codicem conferrent); these are meant by Enoch, and it is this book that is here signified. Because this book was to furnish the coming churches, to be established by the Lord after the deluge, with a knowledge (scientia) and cognition of what is spiritual in natural things, therefore it was preserved by the Lord for their use, and also guarded lest the final posterity of the Most Ancient Church, who were evil, should do injury to it. This therefore is the signification, in the spiritual sense, of Enoch being no more, because God took him. From these things it is evident what is signified by the child of the woman being caught up unto God and His throne.
