“I(JESUS) Will Lay Bands Upon Thee(EZEKIEL)”

Quoting Ezek. 4:8, we read: “And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.” The Prophet was to lie on his Left side 390 days. During this time he was to eat the varieties of food. But why on the Left Side? Why not on the Right? Because the Symbol would not have been Perfect had he lain on his Right Side while Eating. The Stomach of a Man is shaped something like a Crescent, with a Narrow Neck to the Right as an Outlet. If a Man lies on his Left side, the Outlet is Upward, against Gravity, and Consequently would be Difficult to Empty Itself, which would cause the Food to Remain within it. Had it not been for the Bands the LORD put around Ezekiel, he would have turned to his Right Side, thus Spoiling the Symbol. The “Meaning” is that even though the Great Enemy Tried to force out every Truth by Prejudice and Insinuations, and Casting out of the Church those who were Teaching these New Truths as it has been in each instance in the past, yet GOD saw to it that every Truth would remain until HE has put them in One Vessel, and so it is. {SR1: 122.2}
