1 Ang kamay ng Panginoon ay sumasa akin, at kaniyang dinala ako sa Espiritu ng Panginoon, at inilagay niya ako sa gitna ng libis; at yao'y puno ng mga buto.

2 At pinaraan niya ako sa tabi ng mga yaon sa palibot: at, narito, may totoong marami sa luwal na libis; at, narito, mga totoong tuyo.

3 At kaniyang sinabi sa akin, Anak ng tao, maaari bagang mabuhay ang mga butong ito? At ako'y sumagot, Oh Panginoong Dios; ikaw ang nakakaalam.

4 Muling sinabi niya sa akin, Manghula ka sa mga butong ito, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Oh kayong mga tuyong buto, inyong pakinggan ang salita ng Panginoon.

5 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios sa mga butong ito: Narito, aking papapasukin ang hinga sa inyo, at kayo'y mangabubuhay.

6 At lalagyan ko kayo ng mga litid, at babalutin ko kayo ng laman, at tatakpan ko kayo ng balat, at lalagyan ko kayo ng hininga, at kayo'y mangabubuhay; at inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon.

7 Sa gayo'y nanghula ako ng gaya ng iniutos sa akin: at habang ako'y nanghuhula, may naghinugong, at, narito, isang lindol; at ang mga buto ay nangagkalapit, buto sa kaniyang buto.

8 At ako'y tumingin, at, narito, may mga litid sa mga yaon, at laman ay lumitaw sa mga yaon at ang balat ay tumakip sa mga yaon sa ibabaw; nguni't walang hininga sa kanila.

9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Manghula ka sa hangin, manghula ka, anak ng tao, at sabihin mo sa hangin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Manggaling ka sa apat na hangin, Oh hinga, at humihip ka sa mga patay na ito, upang sila'y mangabuhay.

10 Sa gayo'y nanghula ako ng gaya ng iniutos niya sa akin, at ang hininga ay pumasok sa kanila, at sila'y nangabuhay, at nagsitayo ng kanilang mga paa, isang totoong malaking pulutong.

11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Anak ng tao, ang mga butong ito ay ang buong sangbahayan ni Israel: narito, kanilang sinasabi, Ang ating mga buto ay natuyo, at ang ating pagasa ay nawala; tayo'y lubos na nahiwalay.

12 Kaya't manghula ka, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking bubuksan ang inyong mga libingan, at aking pasasampahin kayo mula sa inyong mga libingan, Oh bayan ko; at aking dadalhin kayo sa lupain ng Israel.

13 At inyong malalaman na ako ang Panginoon, pagka aking binuksan ang inyong libingan, at aking pinasampa kayo na mula sa inyong mga libingan, Oh bayan ko.

14 At aking ilalagay ang aking Espiritu sa inyo, at kayo'y mangabubuhay, at aking ilalagay kayo sa inyong sariling lupain, at inyong mangalalaman na akong Panginoon ang nagsalita, at nagsagawa, sabi ng Panginoon.

15 Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating uli sa akin, na nagsasabi:

16 At ikaw, anak ng tao, kumuha ka ng isang tungkod, at sulatan mo sa ibabaw, Sa Juda at sa mga anak ni Israel na kaniyang mga kasama: saka kumuha ka ng ibang tungkod, at iyong sulatan: Sa Jose, na siyang tungkod ng Ephraim, at sa buong sangbahayan ni Israel na kaniyang mga kasama:

17 At iyong papagugnayugnayin sa ganang iyo na maging isang tungkod, upang maging isa sa iyong kamay.

18 At pagka ang mga anak ng iyong bayan ay mangagsasalita sa iyo, na mangagsasabi, Hindi mo baga ipakikilala sa amin kung ano ang kahulugan ng mga ito?

19 Sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking kukunin ang tungkod ng Jose, na nasa kamay ng Ephraim, at ang mga lipi ng Israel na kaniyang mga kasama: at akin silang isasama roon, sa tungkod ng Juda, at gagawin ko silang isang tungkod, at sila'y magiging isa sa aking kamay.

20 At ang tungkod na iyong sinusulatan ay hahawakan mo sa harap ng kanilang mga mata.

21 At sabihin mo sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, aking kukunin ang mga anak ni Israel mula sa gitna ng mga bansa, na kanilang pinaroonan, at pipisanin ko sila sa lahat ng dako, at dadalhin ko sila sa kanilang sariling lupain:

22 At gagawin ko silang isang bansa sa lupain, sa mga bundok ng Israel; at isang hari ang magiging hari sa kanilang lahat; at hindi na sila magiging dalawang bansa, o mahahati pa man sila sa dalawang kaharian;

23 At hindi na naman mapapahamak pa sila ng dahil sa kanilang mga diosdiosan, o sa kanila mang mga kasuklamsuklam na bagay, o sa anoman sa kanilang mga pagsalangsang; kundi aking ililigtas sila mula sa lahat nilang tahanang dako, na kanilang pinagkasalanan, at lilinisin ko sila: sa gayo'y magiging bayan ko sila, at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios.

24 At ang aking lingkod na si David ay magiging hari sa kanila; at silang lahat ay magkakaroon ng isang pastor; magsisilakad din naman sila ng ayon sa aking mga kahatulan, at susundin ang aking mga palatuntunan, at isasagawa.

25 At sila'y magsisitahan sa lupain na aking ibinigay kay Jacob na aking lingkod, na tinahanan ng inyong mga magulang; at sila'y magsisitahan doon, sila at ang kanilang mga anak, at ang mga anak ng kanilang mga anak, magpakailan man: at si David na aking lingkod ay magiging kanilang prinsipe magpakailan man.

26 Bukod dito'y makikipagtipan ako ng tipan ng kapayapaan sa kanila; magiging tipan na walang hanggan sa kanila; at aking ilalagay sila, at pararamihin sila at itatatag ko ang aking santuario sa gitna nila magpakailan man.

27 Ang aking tabernakulo naman ay mapapasa gitna nila; at ako'y magiging kanilang Dios, at sila'y magiging aking bayan.

28 At malalaman ng mga bansa na ako ang Panginoon na nagpapabanal sa Israel, pagka ang aking santuario ay mapapasa gitna nila magpakailan man.

Apocalypse Explained#366

/1232  
  

366. That they should kill one another. That this signifies the falsification or extinction of truths, is manifest from the signification of killing, as denoting to extinguish truths; for by killing in the Word is signified to kill spiritually, or to kill the spiritual part of man or his soul, which is to extinguish truths. The reason why it also denotes to falsify, is, because when truths are falsified, they are also extinguished; for by falsification a different understanding of them is arrived at, and truth is truth according to the understanding of any one concerning it; for the love and the principle which have rule in man, draw and apply all things to them, even truths themselves; wherefore, when the love is evil, or the principle false, then the truths are infected with the evil of the love, or the falsity of the principle, and so are extinguished; this therefore is what is here signified by, "that they should kill one another." That this takes place when there is no good with man, and especially when there is no good in the doctrine of his church, is manifest from the preceding words, where it is said: "When he had opened the second seal, there went out a red horse; and it was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth"; by which is signified a second state of the church, when the understanding of the Word is destroyed as to good, whence divisions arise in the church (concerning which see above, n. 361, 364, 365).

[2] That the understanding of the Word, or, what is the same, the understanding of truth, is destroyed when there is no good with man, that is, where there is no love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, may be seen above (n. 365); for good in man, or what is the same, love in him, is the fire of his life, and truth in him, or the faith of truth, is the light thence; therefore according to the quality of the good or the quality of the love in him, such is the truth, or the faith of truth in him. Hence it is evident that if man is in evil, or in an evil love, he cannot be in the truth, or in the faith of truth; for the quality of the light which issues from that fire, is light to those who are in hell, which is a fatuous light, like the light from burning coals, which light is turned into mere darkness from the light flowing in from heaven. Such also is the light called natural light (lumen) with the evil, when they reason against the things of the church.

[3] That they should falsify truths and thereby extinguish them, is also meant by the Lord's words in Matthew:

Jesus said to the disciples, "The brother shall deliver up the brother, the father the son; the children shall rise up against the parents, and cause them to be put to death" (10:21).

And in Luke:

"Ye shall be betrayed by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death" (21:16).

By parents, brethren, children, [kinsfolk,] and friends, are not meant here parents, brethren, children, kinsfolk, friends, nor by disciples are meant disciples, but the goods and truths of the church, also evils and falsities; and that evils will extinguish goods, and falsities truths. (That such things are signified by these names, see the Arcana Coelestia 10490.)

Arcana Coelestia#5146

学习本章节

  
/10837  
  

5146. 'And in the highest basket' means the inmost degree of the will. This is clear from the meaning of 'a basket' as a degree of the will, dealt with above in 5144; and from the meaning of 'the highest' as the inmost part, dealt with in 2148, 3084, 4599. The reason 'the highest' means the inmost part is that while a person is an inhabitant of space, interior things are seen by him as higher and exterior ones as lower. But when spatial ideas are laid aside, as happens in heaven and also in a person's interior thought, the idea of height and depth is also laid aside; for height and depth belong to spatial ideas. Indeed in the inner heaven not even the idea of interior things and exterior ones exists because even that idea has a spatial element attached to it. Rather, the idea in that heaven is of a state of greater or lesser perfection; for interior things exist within a greater state of perfection than exterior ones because interior things are nearer to the Divine and exterior ones more remote from Him. This is the reason why that which is highest means that which is inmost.

[2] Nevertheless no one can have a mental grasp of the relationship of what is interior to what is exterior unless he knows about degrees, regarding which see 3691, 4154, 5114, 5145. Man has no other notion of what is interior and consequently more perfect than the ever increasing purity of something the more one breaks it down. But greater purity and greater grossness can exist simultaneously in one and the same degree, owing not only to the expanding and condensing of it but also to the limitation of it and to the introduction of similar or else dissimilar elements into it. With an idea such as that regarding his interiors man cannot possibly do other than think that exterior things are attached in a continuous manner to interior ones, and so act entirely as one with them. But if a proper idea regarding degrees is formed one may grasp how interior and exterior things are distinct and separate from one another, so distinct that interior things can come into being and remain in being without exterior ones, whereas exterior things can never do so without interior ones. One may also grasp the nature of the correspondence of interior things within exterior ones, as well as the way in which the exterior things can represent interior ones. This explains why, other than hypothetically, the learned are unable to examine the question regarding the interaction of the soul and the body. Indeed it also explains why many of them believe that life belongs intrinsically to the body, and thus that when their body dies their interiors will die too since these are closely attached to the body. But in actual fact only the exterior degree dies; the interior degree survives and goes on living.
