The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms#159
159. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 36
The perverted church in general. (3)
1-2 It has been destroyed by evils and falsities. (3)
3-7 Because it has been destroyed even to its ultimates, those that have been destroyed will perish. (3, 3)
8-12 A new church will be established by the Lord, which will be in truths and goods. (11, 1)
13-15 The evils and falsities of the perverted church will no longer do any harm. (11)
16-19 That perverted church will perish utterly. (2)
20-23 Yet it will still be tolerated because of the Word, and because the Lord is known by means of the Word. (2)
24-30 A new church will then be established, which, being freed from falsities and evils, will be in truths and goods, and will acknowledge the Lord. (11)
31-32 It will reject evils. (11)
33-36 Its intelligence will gradually grow by means of Divine truths. (11)
37-38 The Lord will be acknowledged in it, and there will be the worship of Him. (11, 6)
Ezekiel第36章:37-38
37
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
38
As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
