1 Und des HERRN Wort geschah zu mir und sprach:

2 Du Menschenkind, kehre dein Angesicht wider die Berge Israels und weissage wider sie

3 und sprich: Ihr Berge Israels, höret das Wort des HERRN HERRN! So spricht der HERR HERR beide, zu den Bergen und Hügeln, beide, zu den Bächen und Tälern: Siehe, ich will das Schwert über euch bringen und eure Höhen umbringen,

4 daß eure Altäre verwüstet und eure Götzen zerbrochen sollen werden; und will eure Leichname vor den Bildern totschlagen lassen.

5 Ja, ich will die Leichname der Kinder Israel vor euren Bildern fällen und will eure Gebeine um eure Altäre her zerstreuen.

6 Wo ihr wohnet, da sollen die Städte wüste und die Höhen zur Einöde werden. Denn man wird eure Altäre wüste und zur Einöde machen und eure Götzen zerbrechen und zunichte machen und eure Bilder zerschlagen und eure Stifte vertilgen,

7 und sollen Erschlagene unter euch daliegen, daß ihr erfahret, ich sei der HERR.

8 Ich will aber etliche von euch überbleiben lassen, die dem Schwert entgehen unter den Heiden, wenn ich euch in die Länder zerstreuet habe.

9 Dieselbigen eure Übrigen werden dann an mich gedenken unter den Heiden, da sie gefangen sein müssen, wenn ich ihr hurisch Herz, so von mir gewichen, und ihre hurischen Augen, so nach ihren Götzen gesehen, zerschlagen habe; und wird sie gereuen die Bosheit, die sie durch allerlei ihre Greuel begangen haben.

10 Und sollen erfahren, daß ich der HERR sei und nicht umsonst geredet habe, solches Unglück ihnen zu tun.

11 So spricht der HERR HERR: Schlage deine Hände zusammen und strampel mit deinen Füßen und sprich: Wehe über alle Greuel der Bosheit im Hause Israels, darum sie durch Schwert, Hunger und Pestilenz fallen müssen!

12 Wer ferne ist, wird an der Pestilenz sterben, und wer nahe ist, wird durchs Schwert fallen; wer aber überbleibet und davor behütet ist, wird Hungers sterben. Also will ich meinen Grimm unter ihnen vollenden,

13 daß ihr erfahren sollt, ich sei der HERR, wenn ihre Erschlagenen unter ihren Götzen liegen werden um ihre Altäre her, oben auf allen Hügeln und oben auf allen Bergen und unter allen grünen Bäumen und unter allen dicken Eichen, an welchen Orten sie allerlei Götzen süßes Räuchopfer taten.

14 Ich will meine Hand wider sie ausstrecken und das Land wüste und öde machen, von der wüste an bis gen Diblath, wo sie wohnen, und sollen erfahren, daß ich der HERR sei.

Apocalypse Explained#387

387. And with death, signifies the consequent extinction of spiritual life. This is evident from the signification of "death," as being the extinction of spiritual life (See above, n. 78, 186). That this is what "death" here signifies is evident from the series of things in the internal sense; for it is said that "there was given unto them power to kill with sword, with famine, and with death;" and "sword" signifies falsity destroying truth, "famine" the deprivation of the knowledges of truth and good; thence "death" signifies the extinction of spiritual life; for where falsity reigns, and where there are no knowledges of truth and good, there is no spiritual life, for spiritual life is acquired by means of the knowledges of truth and good applied to the uses of life. For man is born into all evil and falsity from evil; he is therefore born also into an entire ignorance of all spiritual knowledges; therefore in order that he may be led away from the evils and consequent falsities into which he is born, and be led into the life of heaven and be saved, he must needs acquire the knowledges of truth and good, by means of which he can be led into spiritual life and become spiritual. From this series of things in the internal sense it is evident that "death" here signifies the extinction of spiritual life; this is meant, too, by spiritual death.

Arcana Coelestia#3667

3667. 'God Shaddai will bless you' means the temptations to which that truth and good was subjected and by means of which the joining together was effected. This is clear from the meaning of 'God Shaddai' as temptations, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'being blessed' as a joining together, dealt with in 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584. Since Jacob' now represents the good of truth, as shown above in 3659, that good and truth is here meant by 'you'. The reason why 'God Shaddai' means temptations is that in ancient times people gave the Supreme Deity, or the Lord, various illustrious names. They used these in accordance with His attributes and in accordance with the kinds of good derived from Him, as well as in accordance with the kinds of truth, which are manifold, as everyone knows. By all those descriptive names members of the Ancient Church meant none but the one God, namely the Lord, whom they called Jehovah. But after the Church fell away from goodness and truth, and at the same time from such wisdom, they started to worship as many gods as there were descriptive names of the one God - so much so that each nation, and at length each family, acknowledged one of them as its own god. This was how so many gods came into being, who are also referred to in various places in the Word.

[2] The same happened in the family of Terah, Abraham's father, and also in Abraham's house. The fact that they worshipped other gods, see 1356, 2559, and in particular God Shaddai, 1992. And the fact that the worship of that God persisted in that house is also clear from the following places in Moses,

I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Shaddai, and by My name Jehovah I was not known to them. Exodus 6:3.

This explains why Abraham was told, I am God Shaddai; walk before Me and be blameless. Genesis 17:1.

And in the present case Isaac told Jacob, 'God Shaddai will bless you'. The truth of this is also quite evident from this chapter in which, after the Lord had said in a dream, 'I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac', in verse 13, Jacob then said,

If God will be with me, and guard me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, and I come back in peace to my father's house, then Jehovah will be my God. Verses 20-21.

From this it is evident that neither did the house of Jacob acknowledge Jehovah, but that Jacob would acknowledge Him as his God if He conferred benefits on him. It was just the same as it is in Christian Gentilism at the present day.

[3] But as regards the specific name God Shaddai, the Lord had been called by this in the Ancient Church in respect to temptations, and to the blessings and benefits following temptations, as shown in Volume Two, in 1992. This is why here in the internal sense 'God Shaddai' means temptations. Temptations are the means by which the conjunction of good and truth is effected - see what has been stated and shown already about temptations, in the paragraphs referred to in 2819.
