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:3-7
3
therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;
4
therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
5
therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.
6
Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
7
therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: I have sworn, [saying], Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame.
