Andrey Tikhomirov - The Books of the Prophets Ezekiel and Daniel. Scientific line-by-line explanation of the Bible

51 And Samaria has not sinned half of your sins; you have surpassed them with your abominations, and through your abominations, which you have done, your sisters have been more right than you. (Following the example of Hosea, Ezekiel personifies Samaria and Jerusalem in the form of two harlots, constantly cheating on their lawful spouse, Yahweh, with lovers Assyrian, Egyptian, Babylonian).

52 Bear your shame, and you, who have condemned your sisters; according to your sins, by which you have disgraced yourself more than them, they are more right than you. Blush with shame and you, and bear your shame, thus justifying your sisters. (Ezekiel personifies Samaria and Jerusalem in the form of two harlots, constantly cheating on their lawful spouse, Yahweh, with lovers Assyrian, Egyptian, Babylonian).

53 But I will bring back their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and between them the captivity of your captives (Sodom and Gomorrah: in many places of the Bible, the names of these cities are mentioned as a terrible lesson to all who lead an ungodly life).

54 That you may bear your shame and be ashamed of all that you have done, serving as a consolation for them. (Samaria, that is, the kingdom of Israel, justly suffered for its crimes before God, and Jerusalem – Judah – turned out to be twice as sinful).

55 And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former state; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former state, and you and your daughters will return to your former state. (Sodom and Gomorrah: In many places of the Bible, the names of these cities are mentioned as a terrible lesson to all who lead an ungodly life).

56 There was no mention of your sister Sodom in your mouth in the days of your pride (Sodom and Gomorrah: in many places of the Bible, the names of these cities are mentioned as a terrible lesson to all who lead an ungodly life).

57 Until your wickedness was revealed, as at the time of the disgrace from the daughters of Syria and all those around her, from the daughters of the Philistines, who looked at you with contempt from all sides. (Comparison with a harlot).

58 Because of your debauchery and because of your abominations, you suffer, says the LORD. (Comparison with a harlot).

59 For thus saith the LORD God, I will do unto thee as thou hast done, despising the oath of breaking the covenant. (The promise of all sorts of troubles).

60 But I will remember my union with you in the days of your youth, and I will restore an everlasting union with you. (But, having shamed the traitor, Yahweh, that is, manipulative priests, just like Hosea, promises her forgiveness).

61 And you will remember your ways, and you will be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your big ones, as well as your little ones, and when I give them to you as daughters, but not from your union. (Priests need constant offerings and sacrifices, and this is possible only from people who are besotted with religious nonsense).

62 I will restore my union with you, and you will know that I am the Lord (the Lord is the master slaveholder, hypnotist and schemer).

63 in order for you to remember and be ashamed, and so that you cannot open your mouth in shame when I forgive you everything you have done, says the Lord God. (Priests need constant offerings and sacrifices, and this is possible only from people who are besotted with religious nonsense).

Chapter 17

1 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotist’s voice).

2 son of man! Offer a riddle and tell a parable to the house of Israel. (Secret priests will not calm down in any way, coming up with all sorts of options for seducing the «chosen ones»).

3 Say: Thus saith the LORD God: a great eagle with great wings, with long feathers, fluffy, mottled, flew to Lebanon and took off the top of the cedar, (A parable-riddle).

4 He plucked the topmost of its young shoots and brought it to the land of Canaan, and laid it in the city of merchants; (A parable-riddle).

5 and he took of the seed of the land, and planted the seed on the land, and placed it by the great waters, as they plant a willow tree. (A parable-riddle).

6 And it grew, and became a vine, wide, low in stature, whose branches bent towards it, and its roots were under it, and became a vine, and gave branches, and put forth branches. (A parable-riddle).

7 And there was also an eagle with large wings and fluffy; and, behold, this vine reached out to him with its roots and stretched out its branches to him, so that he watered it from the furrows of his seedling. (A parable-riddle).

8 She was planted in a good field, by great waters, so that she could put out branches and bear fruit, and become a magnificent vine. (A parable-riddle).

9 Say, Thus saith the LORD God, Will she succeed? Will not its roots be torn out, and will not its fruits be torn off, so that it withers? all the young branches that have grown from it will wither. And not with great force and not with many people will they pluck it from its roots. (A parable-riddle).

10 And behold, though she is planted, will there be success? Will it dry up as soon as the east wind touches it? it will dry up on the ridges where it grew up. (A parable-riddle).

11 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Suggestion by words).

12 Tell the rebellious house: Don’t you know what this means?«Say, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took his king and his princes, and brought them to him to Babylon. (The Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem, the capture of the Jewish king and his entourage).

13 And he took [another] from the royal family, and made an alliance with him, and bound him by an oath, and took the strong of that land with him, (The Babylonian king planted his puppet in Jerusalem, the nobility was taken to Babylonia-Chaldea. The 4th Book of Kings, 24:17 «And the king of Babylon reigned Matthias, the uncle of [Jehonia], instead of him, and changed his name to Zedekiah,» the new king of Judea is a protege of Babylon, the change of the king’s name meant a change of cult, ideology).

14 that the kingdom may be submissive, that it may not rise, that we may keep the union and stand firm. (The main thing for the Babylonians is that Judea should be a submissive country).

15 But he rebelled against him, sending his messengers to Egypt to give him horses and many men. Will he succeed? Will the one who does it survive? Has he broken the alliance and will he survive? (King Zedekiah of Judah contacted the king of Egypt. The 4th Book of Kings, chapter 24, «19 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD in all things as Joachim did.» The king did not support Yahweh’s priests. «20 The wrath of the LORD was upon Jerusalem and upon Judah, to the extent that he rejected them from his presence. And Zedekiah was rebelled against the king of Babylon.» The king of Judah ceased to obey Babylon).

16 I live, says the LORD God, in the abode of the king who made him king, and to whom he has despised his oath, and has broken his covenant with him, he will die with him in Babylon. (God lives in Jerusalem, on Mount Zion).

17 With great power and with a large people, Pharaoh will do nothing for him in this war, when the rampart will be built and siege towers will be built for the destruction of many souls. (The Egyptians did not support the Jews, Jerusalem was under siege).

18 He despised the oath to break the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand and did all these things; he will not survive. (Zedekiah found himself in a difficult position.)

19 Therefore thus saith the LORD God: I live! My oath, which he has despised, and My union, which he has broken, I will turn on his head. (Due to the fact that Zedekiah did not support the priests of Judaism, he lost).
