12 And the ruler who is among them will lift [the burden] on his shoulder in the dark and go out. They will break down the wall to send [him] through it; he will cover his face, so that he will not see this land with his eyes. (An indication of how to act so that the «chosen ones» begin to behave «correctly»).
13 And I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare, and I will take him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die. (The Assyrians called the province of Babylonia «the land of the Chaldeans»).
14 But I will scatter all those around him, his companions, and all his army to all winds, and I will draw their sword after them. (Spobornik (slav.) assistant).
15 And they will know that I am the LORD when I have scattered them among the nations and scattered them over the lands. (Everything is supposedly done by Mr. God).
16 But I will keep a small number of them from the sword, famine, and pestilence, so that they will tell the nations to which they will go about all their abominations; and they will know that I am the LORD. (Everything is supposedly done by Mr. God).
17 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotists voice).
18 son of man! eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with trembling and sadness. (Suggestion is beneficial to the hypnotist, so that a person is always his slave).
19 And tell the people of the earth: Thus saith the LORD God concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: they shall eat their bread with sorrow, and drink their water in despondency, because his land shall be deprived of all its abundance because of the iniquities of all who dwell therein. (Clever manipulative priests «broadcast» through their prophets, afraid to appear in front of their own eyes, so that they would not be exposed).
20 And the inhabited cities will be destroyed, and the land will become desolate, and you will know that I am the LORD. (Everything is supposedly done by Mr. God).
21 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Suggestion by words).
22 Son of man! What is the saying you have in the land of Israel: «many days will pass, and every prophetic vision will disappear»? («Vision» hypnotic influence passes over time).
23 Therefore say to them, Thus saith the LORD God, I will destroy this saying, and they will no longer use such a saying in Israel; but tell them, The days are near, and the fulfillment of every prophetic vision. (The Lord God, that is, the Jewish priests, do not benefit from such sayings, therefore they must be destroyed).
24 For no prophetic vision will remain in vain, and no foreshadowing will be false in the house of Israel. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).
25 For I am the LORD, I speak; and the word that I speak will be fulfilled, and will not be delayed; in your days, rebellious house, I have spoken the word, and I will fulfill it, says the LORD God. (The suggestion of what God has once said, he will fulfill!).
26 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotists voice).
27 Son of man! Behold, the house of Israel says, «The prophetic vision that he saw will come true after many days, and he prophesies of distant times.» («Visions» are hypnotic influences).
28 Therefore say to them, Thus saith the LORD God: None of my words will be delayed any more, but the word that I will speak will come to pass, saith the LORD God. (Apparently, even those Jews who trusted the prophets stories about his «visions» and «revelations», at the same time said about Ezekiel that, they say, it will inevitably come true, but in distant times).
Chapter 13
1 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotists voice).
2 son of man! prophesy against the prophets of Israel prophesying, and tell the prophets from your own heart: listen to the word of the Lord! (The prophecies influenced the flock, exerting an influence beneficial to the priesthood).
3 Thus saith the LORD God: Woe to the mad prophets who are led by their own spirit and have seen nothing! (There were also prophets who did not obey the Jewish elite).
4 Your prophets, Israel, are like foxes in ruins. (Comparison with animals).
5 You do not enter into the breaches, and you do not fence the house of Israel with a wall, so that you can stand firm in the battle in the day of the LORD. (Condemnation of the «wrong» prophets).
6 They see nothing and foreshadow a lie, saying: «The Lord said»; but the Lord did not send them; and they are hopeful that the word will come true. (Condemnation of the «wrong» prophets).
7 Have you not seen an empty vision? and are you not uttering a false foreshadowing, saying: «The Lord said,» and I didnt say? («Visions» are hypnotic influences, generalized Jewish priests act under the name of the lord God).
8 Therefore thus saith the LORD God: Since you speak empty words and see lies in your visions, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the LORD God. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).
9 And my hand will be against these prophets who see nothing and foretell lies; they will not be in the council of my people, and they will not be included in the list of the house of Israel, and they will not enter the land of Israel; and you will know that I am the Lord God. (Condemnation of «wrong» prophets).
10 Because they mislead my people by saying, «Peace,» when there is no peace; and when they build a wall, they smear it with mud, (Condemnation of the «wrong» prophets).
11 tell those who smear the wall with mud that it will fall. A torrential rain will fall, and you, stone hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind will tear it apart. (Comparison with the construction of walls).
12 And behold, the wall will fall; then will they not say to you, «Where is the coating with which you smeared?» (Comparison with the construction of walls).
13 Therefore thus saith the LORD God: I will send a tempestuous wind in my anger, and it will rain in my fury, and hail stones in my indignation, to destroy. (Expressing the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).
14 And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with mud, and I will throw it to the ground, and its foundation will be opened, and it will fall, and you will perish with it; and you will know that I am the LORD. (Expressing the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).
15 And I will exhaust my rage on the wall and on those who smear it with dirt, and I will tell you: there is no wall, and there are no those who smeared it, (The utterance of the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).
16 The prophets of Israel, who prophesied to Jerusalem and proclaimed visions of peace to it, while there is no peace, says the LORD God. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).
17 But you, son of man, turn your face to the daughters of your people, prophesying from your own heart, and prophesy against them, (The prophecy meant supposedly the inevitability of fulfillment in the future, in fact it was a simple suggestion of what is beneficial to the Jewish priesthood).
18 And say, Thus saith the LORD God: Woe to them that sew magic pouches under their armpits, and make veils for the head of every height, to catch souls! Will you really save your souls by catching the souls of My people? (Expressing the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).
19 And dishonor me before my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing souls who should not die, and giving life to souls who should not live, deceiving the people who listen to lies. (Expressing the anger of the Jewish elite through the «right» prophet).
20 Therefore thus saith the LORD God: Behold, I am on your magic bags, with which you catch souls there, so that they may come, and I will tear them out from under your muscles, and I will set free the souls that you catch, so that they may come to you. (Sorcerers-sorcerers wore some kind of magic pouches under their muscles).
21 And I will tear your veils, and I will deliver my people from your hands, and they will no longer be a prey in your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD. (Condemnation of the «wrong» prophets).
22 Because by lying you grieve the heart of the righteous, which I did not want to grieve, and you support the hands of the wrongdoer, so that he does not turn from his evil way and does not save his life (Condemnation of the «wrong» prophets).
23 For this you will no longer have empty visions, and you will no longer foresee; and I will deliver my people from your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).
Chapter 14
1 And some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down before me. (Several elders came to Ezekiel).
2 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotists voice).
3 son of man! These people have allowed their idols into their hearts and have set the temptation of their wickedness before their face: can I answer them? (Secret Jewish priests «broadcast» through their prophet against the elders of Israel).
4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the LORD God: If any man of the house of Israel puts his idols in his heart, and sets the temptation of his wickedness before his face, and comes to the prophet, can I, the LORD, with his many idols, give him an answer? (It is advantageous for the Jewish priesthood to remove the elders from power and lead the Israelites themselves).
5 Let the house of Israel understand in its heart that they have all become strangers to me through their idols. (Other peoples idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).
6 Therefore tell the house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD God: Turn and turn away from your idols, and turn away your face from all your abominations. (Other peoples idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).
7 For if any one of the house of Israel and of the strangers who dwell with Israel turns away from me, and lets his idols into his heart, and sets the temptation of his wickedness before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire of me through him, then I, the LORD, will I give him an answer from myself? (Other peoples idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).
8 I will turn my face against that man, and I will break him into a sign and a parable, and I will destroy him from among my people, and you will know that I am the LORD. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
9 But if the prophet allows himself to be deceived and speaks the word as I, the LORD, would teach this prophet, then I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from my people Israel. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
10 And they will bear the guilt of their iniquity: what is the fault of the questioner, so will be the fault of the prophet, (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
11 That the house of Israel may no longer turn away from me, and that they may no longer defile themselves with all their iniquities, but that they may be my people, and I will be their God, says the LORD God. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
12 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotists voice).
13 Son of man! if any land had sinned against Me, treacherously retreating from Me, and I stretched out My hand on it, and destroyed the grain support in it, and sent famine on it, and began to destroy people and cattle on it; (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
14 And if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, had been found in her, they would have saved only their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord God. (In the book of Ezekiel, Job is mentioned along with Noah and Daniel. Daniel (the judge of God, that is, who reveals His will on behalf of God) is the fourth of the great prophets; according to some, he was a descendant of David, or at least descended from a royal family. He was at the court of the Babylonian kings Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar).
15 Or if I had sent fierce beasts to this land, who would have orphaned it, and it became empty and impassable because of the beasts: (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
16 Then these three men in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would not have saved either sons or daughters, but they, only they, would have been saved, and the land would have become a desert. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
17 Or if I had brought a sword to that land and said, «Sword, pass through the land!» and began to destroy people and cattle on it, (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
18 These three men in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would not have saved either sons or daughters, but they would only have been saved. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
19 Or if I had sent a pestilence to that land and poured out my fury on it in bloodshed to destroy people and cattle on it: (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
20 Then Noah, Daniel, and Job in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would have saved neither sons nor daughters; by their righteousness they would have saved only their own souls. (In the book of Ezekiel, Job is mentioned along with Noah and Daniel).
21 For thus saith the LORD God: If I also send my four grievous plagues: the sword, and famine, and fierce beasts, and pestilence to Jerusalem to destroy people and cattle in it, (the Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
22 And then there will remain in it a remnant, sons and daughters, who will be brought out from there; behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their conduct and their deeds, and you will be comforted for the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, for all that I have brought upon it. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
23 They will comfort you when you see their conduct and their deeds; and you will know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in him, says the Lord God. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
Chapter 15
1 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotists voice).
2 son of man! what advantage does the vine tree have over any other tree and the branches of the vine between the trees in the forest? (Comparison with plants and trees).
3 Do they take a piece from him for any product? Do they take at least a nail from him to hang any thing on it? (Comparison with plants and trees).
4 Behold, it is given to the fire to be eaten; the fire has eaten both ends of it, and the middle of it is burnt: is it fit for any article? (Comparison with plants and trees).
5 And then, as it was whole, it was not suitable for any product; moreover, when the fire ate it, and it was burned, is it suitable for any product? (Comparison with plants and trees).
6 Therefore thus saith the LORD God: As the tree of the vine among the trees of the forest I have given to the fire to be eaten, so will I give to it the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Comparison with plants and trees).
