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

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 didn’t 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: (Hypnotist’s 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 people’s 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 people’s 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 people’s 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: (Hypnotist’s 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).
