Chapter 1
Verses
1-8 The church has been vastated by evil of life, 3
9 so that there is little of a residue. 3
10-15 Therefore their external worship is of no avail. 3
16-19 Exhortation that they should repent of the evil of life, and thus they will receive good. 3
20-23 They falsify the Word. 3
24-27 The Lord when He comes will destroy them, and will establish the church with others; 1, 11
28-31 This when nothing of the church remains with them. 3

2. Chapter 2 [Isaiah]
1-5 The Coming of the Lord, and a new heaven and a new church at that time, are openly treated of, 1, 12
6-9 because in the former church there is nothing but falsity and evil of falsity. 1, 3
10-18 The Coming of the Lord is openly treated of; He will destroy all who are in the love of self and in the pride of their own intelligence. 1, 3, 15
10, 19-21 The last judgment is openly treated of, and the casting down of the evil into hell. 15
22 Something concerning the separation of the good from them. 15

3. Chapter 3 [Isaiah]
1-7 There will be a lack of knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth, 2
8-12 because they are in evils and in things falsified. 2
13, 14 The Lord will come to judgment, 15
15-26 and He will cast into hell those who have perverted the truths of the Word. 15

5. Chapter 5 [Isaiah]
1, 2 A church full of truths and goods from the Word was instituted by the Lord. 2
3, 4, 7 It became perverted. 2
[5, 6,] 7-15 It is destroyed still further by falsifications of the truth and good of the Word. 2
16, 17 The Lord will come and give the church to others. 1, 11
[18, 19,] 20-30 Those who perverted the truths and goods of the church will perish from falsities and evils of every kind. 15

6. Chapter 6 [Isaiah]
1-4 The Lord appeared in the midst of His Divine truth, which is the Word. [1]
5-8 The doctrine of the church, derived from the Word not understood, was impure. 2
9-13 It is foretold that all understanding of the Word would perish, so that at last it would no longer be known what truth and good are in the church. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 7
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 7
7. Chapter 7 [Isaiah]
1-6 Ignorance of truth and non-understanding of the Word will enter and begin to destroy the church. 2
7-9 It is foretold that this will not take place as yet, 3, 2
10-16 but it will at the time when the Lord comes into the world. 3, 1
17-20 Then all understanding of the Word will be perverted by knowledges [scientifica] and by reasonings from them, until nothing remains. 2, 3
21, 22 Then truth will be taught in all abundance. 11, 3
23, 24 The church will then be wholly devastated. 11, 3
23 It will be otherwise with those who receive. 11, 3

8. Chapter 8 [Isaiah]
1-4 It is foretold that before that time knowledge [cognitio] and perception truth will perish, 2, 3
5, 6 because they are not willing to understand the Word in simplicity. 2, 3
7-12 By reasonings from falsities the whole church will perish, until conjunction with God will no longer take place; 2, 3
13-16 and they will not know the Lord, who is the Word and the church. 4
17-21 Nevertheless, others will know the Lord, who reject falsities, and put away things falsified, 11
9:1 (H.B. 8:23) and who, by combats against evils and falsities, receive reformation; 11
8:22 (H.B. 8:22) although the church there is nothing but falsity. 3

2-4 (H.B. 9:1-3) The Coming of the Lord, and the new church which will receive Him, 1, 11
5 (H.B. 4) but not the old church, which has been destroyed. 1, 11
6, 7 (H.B. 5, 6) The Lord, who is described, will do all things, and He will protect from falsities and evils. 11
8-21 (H.B. 7-20) The old church, from its own intelligence, will falsify and pervert every truth and good of the Word and thus of the church, even until nothing remains. 3

Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 10
10. Chapter 10 [Isaiah]
1, 2 The further vastation of the church, by their taking away stealthily from others the truths and goods of the church. 2
3, 4 They will perish at the time of the last judgment. 5, 2
5-11 They pervert truths by reasonings from their own intelligence. 2
12-19 At the time of the last judgment such are to be utterly destroyed by the Lord, so that scarcely anything of natural truth will remain with them. 15, 3
20-22, 24 Those who believe in the Lord are to be saved, 17, 3
and to be protected lest they be taken captive by confirmations of falsity through reasonings; 12
23, 25-34 because the whole church has been devastated by knowledges [scientifica] that pervert the truths of the church and confirm falsities. 12

6-9 The state of innocence that those in the heavens have who trust in Him. 12
10-12 Those who are in falsities from ignorance, and have not suffered themselves to be led astray by falsities and evils, will draw near to the Lord. 11, 12
13-15 The church will then understand the Word, and will shake off falsities of every kind. 11, 12
16 These falsities will no longer hurt them. 11, 12

In this chapter, concerning the adulteration of good and truth, which is "Babel" [or "Babylon"].
1-3 The Lord will come in Divine power, 1
4-9 for grievous judgment upon those that have utterly departed, to destroy them, 15
10-12 because there is no longer any good and truth remaining with them. 15
13-18 Therefore all will perish with their evils and falsities, 15
19-22 and abide in hell, where there are direful and horrid evils and falsities. 15

7-12, 15-21 The casting of them down into hell, where they are the worst of all. 15, 3
13, 14 Their pride, that they wish to have dominion with God over heaven. 15, 3
22, 23 Their horrible end. 15, 3
24-27 Those who by reasonings from their own intelligence destroy the truths of the Word and profane them, are to be destroyed. 15, 3
28-32 (L.B. 15:1-5) The judgment upon those who make religion to consist in nothing but knowledges [cognitiones]. These knowledges are "Philistia." 15
30, 32 (L.B. 15:3, 5) When they are removed the church will be safe. 12

Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 15

PP (Schreck) n. 17
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 17
17. Chapter 17 [Isaiah]
Those who place religion in nothing but knowing knowledges [scientia cognitionum], which is "Damascus." 2
1, 2 They are to be destroyed. 2
3 This [knowledge] will be serviceable to the new church. 11, 2
4-6 The knowledge of knowledges will then be rare, 11, 2
7, 8 but they are to be instructed by the Lord. 11, 2
9-14 Those who do not suffer themselves to be instructed by the Lord will lack all things, and will seize upon falsities for truths. 11, 2
PP (Schreck) n. 18
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 18
18. Chapter 18 [Isaiah]
Those who are willing to be in blind ignorance respecting the things of salvation. Such are "Cush" [or "Ethiopia"]. 2
1, 2 Their quality. 2

7 On the other hand, those who are in ignorance from not having the church, will draw near to the Lord. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 19
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 19
19. Chapter 19 [Isaiah]
Those who, out of a mere science of such things as belong to the Word and the church, make a religion for themselves, and enter into it; this religion is "Egypt". 2
1-4 From this come controversies and heresies; and such men enter into falsities of every kind. 2
5-10 All truths will perish with them. 2
[11], 12-15 Insanity will take the place of intelligence. 2, 3
15-17 They will perish. 15
18-22 Such knowledges [scientifica] will be of use in the future, when they have been instructed in truths by the Lord. 11
23-25 Then the spiritual, rational, and knowing faculties will act in unity. 11, 12
PP (Schreck) n. 20
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 20
20. Chapter 20 [Isaiah]
The same. 2, 3

21. Chapter 21 [Isaiah]
1-4 Natural good will no longer remain. 3
5-7 Expectation of the Lord, when the natural [of man] will first be imbued with truths from good; 1, 11
8-10 then the rational, 11
9 so far as adulteration of good and truth ceases. 3
11, 12 The Coming of the Lord is expected. 11
13, 14 Then those who are in ignorance will have knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth. 2, 11
15-17 He will come when all knowledges [cognitiones] of truth and good perish, until very little is left. 11, 2, 3
PP (Schreck) n. 22
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 22
22. Chapter 22 [Isaiah]
Self intelligence. 2
1-7 The truths of the church are destroyed thereby. 2
8-12 The externals of the church are wholly destroyed thereby, until they come into ignorance concerning the Lord. 2
13-15 From the delights of falsity, they will then destroy the senses of the Word. 2
16-19 They will perish. 2
20-24 The power of the Word will remain, guarded by the Lord. 2
25 This also will perish in the church. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 23
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 23
23. Chapter 23 [Isaiah]
The church which is to be devastated and which has been devastated in respect to all knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth. This is "Tyre." 2
1-9 There is no longer any truth of the church through knowledges [cognitiones], as before. 2
10-14 It will be vastated still further by reasonings from falsities. 2
15-17 The devastation of knowledges [cognitiones] of truth will extend, and it will last until the Coming of the Lord. 1, 2, 3
18 The knowledges [cognitiones] will then be of service to others. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 24
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 24
24. Chapter 24 [Isaiah]
1-13 The church in general is utterly devastated, insomuch that there is no longer anything of the church remaining, but in its place falsity and evil. 3
14-16 Those who are outside of the church will receive enlightenment from the Lord. 11
16-20 The church will utterly perish, and is to be destroyed. 3
21, 22 They are to be cast into hell. 15
22, 23 There will be a new church from the Lord in place of the old. 11, 12
PP (Schreck) n. 25
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 25
25. Chapter 25 [Isaiah]
1 Confession of the Lord, 16
2 after all things of the church had utterly perished. 3
3-5 They shall not then perish; and those who are outside of the church shall draw near, and shall be protected that they be not infested by them. 11
6-8 The Lord will disclose truths to them, and will take away the blindness that has arisen. 11
9, 10 Confession of the Lord by them. 16
10-12 Adulteration of the good of the church and of the Word will be utterly destroyed. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 26
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 26
26. Chapter 26 [Isaiah]
1-4 Glorification of the Lord because of the doctrine of truth from Him, which they will receive and confess. 16
5, 6 The old church, being utterly destroyed, is rejected. 3
7-9 Consequently the Coming of the Lord will then be expected. 1
10, 11 The wicked will not receive. 4
12, 13 The Lord alone will teach all things. 11
14, 15 Those who by persuasion establish falsity of doctrine, are to be utterly rejected by the judgment. 15
16-18 They could not grow better prior to this, owing to the ignorance in which they are. 11
19 Nevertheless, they are to be instructed, and will receive life. 11
19-21 They are to be preserved, while, in the meantime, those who are in the persuasion of falsity are to be destroyed by the last judgment. 15
PP (Schreck) n. 27
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 27
27. Chapter 27 [Isaiah]
1 There is no longer any truth or good in the natural man. 2
2, 3 Nevertheless the truth of the church must be guarded. 11
4, 5 Every evil and falsity will be destroyed on the day of judgment. 15
6 Afterwards there will be a new church 11
7, 8 with those in whom truths have not been completely lost. 11
8-12 In time all true worship will perish, with all truth and good; they will perish on the day of judgment. 15
12, 13 Afterwards there will be a new church that will confess the Lord. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 28
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 28
28. Chapter 28 [Isaiah]
Those who from their own intelligence have falsified truths. These are "the drunkards of Ephraim." 2
1, 2 Falsities will break in. 2
3, 4 Truths will perish. 2
5[, 6] The Lord will teach truths when He comes. 11
7, 8 Then all doctrine will be full of falsities and evils, 3
9, 10 so that they cannot be instructed and taught. 3
11-13 They will reject. 3
14-16 They will laugh to scorn those things that are of heaven and the church, and will reject those things that are of the Lord.
17-21 Although they will reprobate and not understand, nevertheless they must be taught. 4, 2
22-29 They will be taught constantly, and yet will not receive. 2, 3
PP (Schreck) n. 29
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 29
29. Chapter 29 [Isaiah]
The lost doctrine of truth of the church. This is "Ariel." 3
1-4 It will perish even until it is not anything. 3
5, 6 Falsities will gain strength and pervert still further, even until the church perishes. 2, 3
7, 8 Falsity will appear as truth. 2, 3
9, 12 Because of falsities they are unable to see truths. 2, 3
13 There is external worship without internal. 2, 3
14 There is no longer any understanding of truth. 2, 3
15, 16 They will entertain sinister thoughts about God. 3
17-19 When the old church perishes, a new one is to be established by the Lord. 3, 11
20, 21 All who are against truth and good will perish. 3
22-24 It will be otherwise with those who will receive the Lord; they will understand truths. 11

Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 30
30. Chapter 30 [Isaiah]
1-5 Those who trust in the knowledge [scientia] of the natural man, thus in their own intelligence, lead themselves astray. 2
6 The learned or the self-taught: 2
7-10 they are led astray by knowledges [scientiae], and they recede from the Word, 2
11 and from the Lord. 2
12-14 Thus they have no truth and thus again no good. 2
15 They should have trust in the Lord. 2
16, 17 Those who trust in themselves and in their own learning have no intelligence whatever. 2
18, 19 The Lord turns Himself to those who trust in Him. 11
20, 21 They will be instructed. 11
22 They will then reject those things pertaining to self-intelligence. 11
23-26 They will then have truth in all abundance, and wisdom. 11
27, 28 When those who are in the falsities of evil will perish, 15, 3
29, 30 they will then come into the delights of truth and good, from the Lord. 11
30, 31 There will be a judgment on those who trust in themselves. 15
32, 33 Those who have thereby adulterated the Word, will be cast into hell. 15
PP (Schreck) n. 31
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 31
31. Chapter 31 [Isaiah]
1 Those who trust in their own learning from self-intelligence, and not in the Lord, 4
2 are against Him; wherefore they have evil. 2, 4
3 They have no understanding of truth, but will fall into falsities. 2
4 They are to be destroyed at the time of judgment. 15
5, 6 The Lord will then protect those in whom is the church from Him. 11
7 Then they will reject falsities and evils. 11
8, 9 Those who trust in themselves will perish. 15
9 There will be good from the Lord in the new church. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 32
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 32
32. Chapter 32 [Isaiah]
1 When the Lord will reign by means of the Divine truth, 1
2-4 truth will be acceptable, and there will be understanding of truth, 11
5 and pretense will cease. 11
6, 7 Then the false-speaker will speak falsities, and the malevolent will do evils, 3
8 and vice versa. 11
9-12 Then all things of the church will cease, 11[, ?3]
13, 14 and falsity will be everywhere, [3]
15-18 even until there is Divine truth from the Lord; then there will be truth and good, and protection from falsities. 11
19 Falsity will continue even unto the end. 3
20 Not so with those who love truth and good. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 33
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 33
33. Chapter 33 [Isaiah]
1 Those who by falsities vastate the truths of the church. 3
2 The Lord when He comes, will protect His own. 11
3, 4 The vastators will be dispersed by Him. 3
5, 6 They will have protection from the Lord by means of Divine truth. 11
7-9 Devastation of the truth of the church will then continue. 3
10 They will not care for the Lord. 4
11, 12 Falsities and evils will consume all things of the church. 15, 3
13, 14 They will fear the last judgment. 15
15-17 Those who do good are to be saved by the Lord. 11, 17
18, 19 They will not listen to falsities nor believe them. 11
20-22 They will be of the Lord's church, and there they will have from the Lord an abundance of all things of truth, 11
23, 24 and of all things of good; and thus no more evil. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 34
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 34
34. Chapter 34 [Isaiah]
1-8 A last judgment upon all who are in evil and in falsities therefrom, is described. 15
9-15 Having been cast down into hell they will abide in horrid falsities and evils to eternity. 15
16 This has been foretold. 15
17 It will be otherwise with those who are not such. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 35
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 35
35. Chapter 35 [Isaiah]
1-3 Those who are outside of the church, and do not have the Word, are to be accepted, that they may become a church, and all things of heaven are to be given to them. 11
[4,] 5 The Lord will protect and liberate the latter from the infernals, 11
6-9 and while in the midst of them they are to be protected and saved. 11
10 The church will consist of them, and they will have the good of the church. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 36
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 36
36. Chapter 36 [Isaiah]
1 Reasonings from falsities have perverted the doctrinals of the church, 2
2-6 by means of knowledges [scientifica] falsely applied, 2
7 and by abrogation of the representative worship, 2, 3
8-10 and in consequence, the church has gone away into what is perverse;
11, 12 the result of this was mere evils and falsities, 2, 3
13-20 even so that they blasphemed the Lord, [maintaining] that He had no power. 2, 3
21, 22 This has been made manifest. 2, 3
PP (Schreck) n. 37
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 37
37. Chapter 37 [Isaiah]
1-5 Of those who repented, and consulted truths of doctrine, 3
6, 7 and perceived that those who blasphemed the Lord will perish. 3, 2, 4
8-13 They blasphemed still more violently, as [in the assertion] that He could be of no avail whatever against them. 3, 4
14-20 Those who consulted doctrine from the Word repented, and prayed unto the Lord for help against the blasphemers, 3, 11
21-27 and received answer in their heart, that those who blasphemed the Lord will perish; and this blasphemy is likewise treated of. 3, 15, 4
28, 29 Therefore it will go no farther, 3, 15, 4
30-32 because a new church will come into existence in its time; 11
33-35 and therefore the old church will not be destroyed as yet; 2
36-38 nevertheless, they are to be utterly destroyed. 2[?3]
PP (Schreck) n. 38
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 38
38. Chapter 38 [Isaiah]
1-6 They repented; therefore they were protected from destruction; 2
7, 8 therefore the time of the Coming of the Lord has been protracted. 1
9-15 The church will nevertheless depart. 2
16-20 They are exhorted to repent. 2
21, 22 There is still natural good with some. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 39
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 39
39. Chapter 39 [Isaiah]
1-7 It is foretold that they will adulterate all the goods of the Word and profane its truths, until nothing of good and truth is left, which is "Babel" [or "Babylon"];3
8 but not as yet. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 40
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 40
40. Chapter 40 [Isaiah]
1-5 The Coming of the Lord is foretold, when the good are to be saved, and the evil will perish. 1, 2, 11
6-8 Every truth will be banished. 2
9-11 Prediction concerning the Coming of the Lord, and the salvation of those who receive Him, 1, 11
12-14 because He is almighty and all-knowing. 16
15-18 All men and all things against Him are nothing worth. 16

21-25 Dominion over all things is the Lord's, and without Him, all things fall. 16

1-3 Concerning a last judgment executed by the Lord from His Human, in which He was while in the world. 15
4 [He executed the judgment] by means of His Divine. [15, 10]
5-7 Those who were in self-intelligence opposed themselves to Him. 4
8-10, 13, 14 His Human was strengthened by His Divine. 10
11, 12 They will be of no avail whatever against Him. 7
15, 16 They will be totally dispersed. 8
16, 17 Those who confide in the Lord will not fail.
18-20 They will have truths and goods in all abundance. 11
[21,] 22-24 The rest will not know, and will have no power. 11
25, 26 Those who are in ignorance of truth, will come to the Lord; 11

9-12 The Coming of the Lord is foretold, and the joy of those who will draw nigh to Him, who had previously lived in ignorance. 1, 11
13-15 He will fight for them against the hells, which He will conquer, and He will destroy their power. 7
16 Those who are in ignorance are then to be enlightened. 11
17 Those who trust in their own intelligence, and thus in falsities, are to be driven away. 3
18-20 The Lord's patience and tolerance is described, 1, 6, 4
21 and also His justice. 1, 6, 4
22-24 Then those who were of the church despoiled them of all truths, and they became averse to them. 11

3-8 Those from every quarter and of every kind will come to Him. 11
9 This has been foretold. 11
10-13 He Himself, who is to come, has foretold it. 1
14 He will destroy all who adulterate and profane the goods and truths of the church.3
15 It will be He Himself, 1
16, 17 who saves His own, and destroys all the power of hell.8
18-21 From Him will be a new thing, and a new church of those who had previously been in no truths whatever. 11
22-27 The church itself did not worship Him, but they wearied Him with sins, which He bore with, from the beginning and also afterwards. 4
28 Therefore He will utterly reject the church. 3

5-7 He is Jehovah who has foretold that He will do this. 1
8 There is no other God. 1
9-11 Those who do not worship Him alone are falsifiers. 4
12-20 Those who frame for themselves something else of religion from their own intelligence make falsity to appear as truth, and evil as good, whence they have a quasi divine worship. 2
21, 22 To the Jewish church: it should refrain from such things. 2
23, 24 To the new church: the Lord alone is the God of heaven and earth. 11, 10
25 He rejects such, because they are insane from self-intelligence, 3
26 when He establishes His church, 11
27 and destroys the old church. 3

1, 2 From His Divine He has omnipotence against all things of hell. 8
3 He has Divine wisdom, 8, 10
4 through His Divine, even to ultimates. 8, 10
5, 6 He is none other than Jehovah; let all men know this. 10
7 From Him are all things. 10
8 Let them receive Him, that they may be saved. 17
9-11 Doubt whether it be so and why it is so, ought not to be entertained, 10
12 for He Himself is the God of heaven, 10
13 and thus He will save men, for they have been bound by the hells. 17
14 Those who are in ignorance and natural men will draw near. 11
15 Whence salvation thus comes has been hidden. 17
16 Those who are in falsities will recede. 4
17 Those who are of His church are saved. 17
18 The reason why they are thus saved is that man has been born for heaven. 17
19 This has been foretold in the Word. 17
20 Those who are in good draw near, and those who are in evil recede. 11, 17
21, 22 The Lord should be received, because He alone is God, and from Him alone is salvation. 11, 17
23-25 In Him alone is all the life of heaven, 17

3-5 Those who are not of such a character have been led by the Lord and are led by Him. 17
6, 7 The rest take goods and truths from the Word, and profane them, and make for themselves a religion in which there is no life. 2, 3

Exhortation to the church that is adulterating the goods and profaning the truths of the word, that they should desist. 2
1, 2 It has been granted them that they may be the church, and that they may acknowledge the Lord, but in vain. 2
3, 4 They have turned away, and this has been declared to them, 2
5 lest, haply, they should believe that they themselves are superior to others, 2
6, 7 and have not known this, 2
8 and yet they have been such from the beginning. 2
9-11 They are not yet to be destroyed, for His own reasons, and the time will yet be prolonged. 2
12, 13 Be it known to them that He is the God of heaven and earth. 10, 16
14-17 He is the Lord who will come among those who are adulterating and profaning the Word, and will declare this to them: 1
18, 19 if they had obeyed Him they would have had the goods and truths of the church in all abundance; 2
20, 21 if they would leave the adulterations and falsifications of the Word, and the pride of having dominion, they would be in everything of the church. 2
22 But the church is not with them, because they have turned away. 2

5, 6 A church with everything belonging to it is to be established by Him. 11

17, 19 Falsities and evils will be removed. 11
18 Approach from all parts to the church. 11
19, 20 Heaven will be enlarged for them. 12
21-23 A multitude of those who have not had the Word and hence neither the truths of the church, will draw near, and will worship the Lord, and will be instructed in Divine truths. 11

4, 5 because from Him is all good and truth, and in Him does every nation trust; 17, 11
6 nothing abides to eternity except that which is from Him. 17
7, 8 Let those who love good look to Him, and make nothing of the oppositions of men, because they will perish, owing to falsities and evils. 17
9-11 To the Lord, because He has Divine power, that He may act, because He has strength to remove the hells, that they may joyfully pass over without harm. 17
12, 13 There is nothing to fear from the evils thence arising, nor from infestation by them. 17

4 Because they have been imbued with knowledges [cognitiones] of falsity confirmed by reasonings, 11

8, 9 The rest are also to be brought near, 11

4 speaking against the Divine. 3
5 They love all falsities whatsoever, and destroy all truths whatsoever, 3
6 and worship those things that come from their own intelligence, 3
7 and extol doctrine derived therefrom even to worshipping it, 3
8 and have published it before all, and have extended it to falsities of every kind, 3
9 and call them heavenly goods and truths, and adore them with all submission. 3
10 They have not retracted, because this was from their own intelligence. 3, 4
11, 12 This they have done because they have not consulted the Lord, who might teach them. 3, 4
13, 14 Falsities will destroy them; it is otherwise with those who so love the Lord that He may teach them truths and remove falsities. 3, 11
15 The Lord does this with those who are humble at heart; 11
16, 17 he is not able to do this for those who are wise from what is their own [proprium], 3
18, [19] but only for those who grieve over it, 11

1, 2 The Lord hears and is able to do all things, but falsities and evils stand in the way. 2
3, 4 By these, truths have been falsified, and this is the source of evils of life and falsities of doctrine. 2
5 They hatch out such things as captivate and deceive, and afterwards kill. 2
6 Those things with them that are of doctrine and of life are of no avail for anything. 2
7 They are diligent at perverting, whence comes vastation. 2
8 He that follows, destroys the truths of the church in Himself. 2
9, 10 For this reason they are in falsities and see nothing in noonday light. 2
11 Hence there is no salvation, 2
12-15 because there is nothing but evils, and a turning away from truths, thus from the Lord. 2, 4
16, 17 Inasmuch as no one was in truth, and no one was on the Lord's side, He alone fought from Divine truth with His own power, 2, 4, 7

3-6 No one is in truths, and therefore the Lord alone has fought and conquered, that the faithful may obtain salvation. 3, 7, 17

4-8 Of the Lord, who is here meant by "Jeremiah"; He will be born, in order that He may teach all men Divine truth. 11
9, 10 From His Divine He will teach the truths and goods of the church, and will destroy falsities and evils. 11, 2
11, 12 Truths of every good have been given them through the Word; 2
13 but they have perverted them; 2
14, 15 which is the source of all kinds of falsities that are contrary to the truths of the church, 2
16 and from this arises a contrary worship. 2
17-19 The Lord will admit them to fight against Him, and they will succumb, because the Divine is the Lord's. 5, 7, 8

68. Chapter 2 [Jeremiah]
1-3 The church established among the ancients: 11, 2
Its primitive state when it was defended from falsities and evils.
4-6 For no reason they departed from Him who had led and protected them, 2
7, 8 and had taught them all things of the church, which they nevertheless perverted, both its truths and its goods, by departing from the Lord. 2
9 Still He will teach them with difficulty. 2
10, 11 No nation has changed its religion as they have done. 4
12, 13 It is horrible, their rejecting the Lord, and their hatching falsities of doctrine for themselves. 4
14, 15 Consequently the church and its doctrine have been devastated 3
16 by falsities out of the natural man. 3
17 This has taken place because they have rejected the Lord. 4, 3
18 by means of knowledges [scientifica] and reasonings. 4, 3
19, 20 They draw punishments upon themselves, because they have separated themselves from the Lord, and have worshipped things infernal, 4
21 and even though genuine truths have been given to them, yet they have become such. 3
22, 23 Howsoever they may worship in like ways in externals, yet interiorly they are infernal. 3
24, 25 They desire eagerly to be in falsities and evils, and shun truths and goods. 3
26, 27 Evils and falsities are their worship. 3
28 This is true of all of them. 3
29, 30 They are not willing to return, even when chastised. 3
31, 32 Nevertheless they have not been forsaken by the Lord, but they have forsaken Him. 3
33, 34, [35?] They fight to confirm falsities and evils by falsifications of the Word. 3
36 And they have confirmed them by reasonings from the natural man. 3
37 And yet confirmations are of no avail. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 69

69. Chapter 3 [Jeremiah]
The spiritual church, or the truths of the church.
1, 2 They have departed and falsified truths. 2
3 They are unwilling to understand truths. 2
4, 5 They have merely acknowledged the Word outwardly in the letter, and not even with the Word [in mind], but with falsities. 2
6, 7 The church in respect to truths, has falsified truths, and has not been willing to be reformed. 2
7-9 The celestial church, that is, the church in respect to good, has done likewise; as the spiritual church has falsified truths, so the celestial church has adulterated goods. 2
10, 11 They worship falsities of evil, and have perverted goods more than truths. 2
12-14 Exhortation to reject falsity and to receive truth, that there may be conjunction and a church, 2[, 11]
15 and that there may then be knowledge [cognitio]. [11]
16, 17 When the Lord comes there will no longer be the representative of a church, but a church, wherein the Lord Himself will be in place of that representative. 1, 11
18 Then truth and good will make one. 11
19 Those who will draw near shall be adopted as children by the Lord; 11
20[, 21] but the church has become perverted. 3
22-25 Those who will be of the new church will acknowledge and confess that they have falsities and evils. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 70
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 70
70. Chapter 4 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 Exhortation to refrain from evils and to acknowledge the Lord, from whom those who are in goods and truths will have salvation. 2
3, 4 Unless they refrain and turn back, they will utterly perish. 2
5, 6 Those who will acknowledge must be removed while the destruction lasts, 2
7 because devastation of all things of the church is at hand, 3
8 which does not come to an end through outward mourning, 3
9, 10 nor through complaints that they are perishing, although it is said in the Word that they shall be saved. 3
11, 12 It is answered that they are not willing to acknowledge and receive. 3
13 Falsities are breaking in. 3
14, 15 Corruption of the church. 3
16 in respect to doctrine, 3
17 in respect to the Word. 3
18-21 Lamentation thereat. 3
22 There is no longer any understanding of truth. 3
22-27 All things of the church have been destroyed, even until nothing remains, 3
28, 29 and the church has become none. 3
30 The things of the church could not have been restored among them in any way. 3
31 Despair of those of whom the new church will consist. 11

71. Chapter 5 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 There is no truth in doctrine or in the church, and if they believe, it is falsity. 2
3 They were urged by punishments, but still they did not receive. 2
4, 5 This nonreception is due, not to simplicity, but to application and industry; 2
6 therefore all falsities and evils of falsity have broken in upon them. 2
7, 8 They have rejected all mercy, because they have perverted all truths and goods, which they had in all abundance. 2
9, 10 Therefore they cannot but perish, 2
11, 12 for they have acknowledged evils and falsities as goods and truths, because they have departed from the Lord, 2
13 and have annihilated the Word. 2
14-17 Therefore infernal evil will invade them, and will still further destroy all the goods and truths of the church; 2
18 but not quite, as yet. 2
19, 20 This comes upon them because they have forsaken the Lord, 2
21-24 and yet it is in their power to know that the Lord alone can do all things, but they are unwilling to know that He is God from whom are all truths and goods. 2
25-27 This has come to pass because it is delightful to them to pervert and deceive, 2
27, 28 and for this reason they are held in esteem. 2
29 They cannot but perish, 3
30, 31 because all goods and truths from firsts to lasts have been perverted in such wise; also because all of them, from the highest to the lowest, do thus. 3

72. Chapter 6 [Jeremiah]
Those who have conjunction with the Lord in the lowest heaven; these are meant by "the children of Benjamin." 2
1, 2 The church among them is destroyed by falsities of evil. 2
2 3-5 They no longer have truth and good, but falsity and evil, and these destroy them. 2
6, 7 By means of these the church amongst them is destroyed. 2
8, 9 There are still some truths; let them beware lest they destroy them; 2
10 but they hearken not. 3
11 Therefore all things are being destroyed. 3
12 Thus others are being received in their stead. 11
13, 14 Because everything there has been so perverted that there is no protection against falsity, 3
15 which they do not acknowledge to be falsities, 3
16, 17 and they repudiate truths, 3
18, 19 therefore they will come to an end; 3
20 hence they regard the works of their worship as of no value. 3
21 Destruction comes upon them 3
22, 23 through falsities, from which they reason against the truths of the church. 3
24-26 Those who are separated and grieve over them. 3
27-30 The perverse are tested, and found incapable of restoration. 3

73. Chapter 7 [Jeremiah]
Those who are in the lowest heaven with whom is the church in respect to good. 3
1, 2 To such: 3
3 let them look to truths and goods; 3
4 let them not believe that the church is with them; 3
5, 6 unless they live according to the commandments, and do no violence to the Word, 3
3 7 goods and truths do not cause them to be a church. 3
8-10 If the life is contrary to the commandments, there is no church worship. 3
11 The church of the Lord is not with those who profane holy things. 3
12-15 By such profanation the destruction of the church is brought about, as elsewhere, so also here. 3
16 Intercession is of no avail, 3
17-19 because it is certain that they profane the truths and goods of heaven. 3
20 Hence is the destruction of all. 33
21-24 They rely on externals of worship, which are of no account, because they have no internals of worship. 3
25, 26 They have obstinately rejected internals, even from the beginning. 2
27-31 Since their reformation is vain, everything of their worship is rejected, because they profane all things of the church. 15
32, 33 They will be cast into hell, where there is nothing but falsity and evil. 15
34 Thus that church will perish. 15
PP (Schreck) n. 74
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 74
74. Chapter 8 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 The profaners of truth will be cast into hell and abide in their profanities. 15
3 And all their remains will likewise perish. 15
4-6 They are such that they cannot be converted and led back. 3
7-9 They are not willing to know any truth from the Word, but reject it. 3
10 Therefore the things they have will be given to others. 3
11, 12 They defend their falsities, and call them truths of the church; they do not want it to be otherwise. 3
13 Therefore, because they no longer have truth or good, they will perish. 3
14, 15 They have recourse to the Word, but in vain. 3
16, 17 Then fallacies of the sensual man, and reasonings therefrom, will destroy them and infect them with poison. 3
18-22, 9:1 (H.B. 18-23) Reciprocal grief and lamentation that the time is so long drawn out before a new church consisting of others can be established. 11

75. Chapter 9 [Jeremiah]
1 (H.B. 8:23) [See above, end of chapter 8.] 11
2, 3 (H.B. 9:1, 2) In the church is nothing but what is falsified and evil therefrom, because they depart from the Lord. 3
4-6 (H.B. 3-5) One falsity comes from another even until there is nothing but falsity in which [they are]. 3
7, 8 (H.B. 6, 7) When they are being taught they feign that they wish it, but they do not. 3
9 (H.B. 8) Must they not perish? 3
10-12 (H.B. 9-11) Grief because of the destruction of all things of the church, even until nothing remains. 3
13-15 (H.B. 12-14) Because they have repudiated the Word, and have obeyed their own lusts, they are in falsities of evil; 3
16 (H.B. 15) and therefore they will be destroyed by evils, and falsities therefrom. 3
17-19 (H.B. 16-18) Lamentation over devastation. 3
20, 21 (H.B. 19, 20) Lamentation that from this there is destruction, 3
22 (H.B. 21) because they have infernal evil and falsity. 3
23, 24 (H.B. 22, 23) Let it be known that everything of truth and good, and hence everything of power and wisdom, is from acknowledgment of the Lord. 15, 11
25, 26 (H.B. 24, 25) The Coming of the Lord to judgment upon all who are in externals without internals. 15

76. Chapter 10 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 Let not those be feared who wish to prevail by their own intelligence and by means of artifices. 3
3-5 It is described how they make evil to appear like good, and make themselves appear powerful, 3
6, 7 whereas the Lord alone has power. 16
8, 9 To do this they abuse the Word; 3
10 but the Lord alone reigns, 16
11 and those who do not acknowledge Him vanish. 4
12, 13 All truth is from the Lord. 16
14, 15 Self-intelligence amounts to nothing at all; it will perish. 2, 3
11 16 It is otherwise with a church that trusts in the Lord.
17, 18 The preparation of these during the destruction of the former. 11, 3
19-21 Grief because of the backsliding of the church from the Lord, and its vastation. 3, 11, 4
22 Their end. 3
23-25 Prayer to the Lord that they may not perish together with the evil. 11

77. Chapter 11 [Jeremiah]
1-3 Let them do the commandments and acknowledge the Lord; this is meant by the "covenant." 3
4 It was with them when they were reformed. 3
5, 6 Every good and truth of the church is theirs by means of it. 3
7, 8 This they were often told, but they did not obey, 3
9, 10 but all did the contrary, and acknowledged another god. 3
11-13 Therefore there is no help for them, because they all love falsities and worship other gods. 3
14 Intercession will not avail. 3
15, 16, [17] They have profaned the church and its good and truth. 3
18, 19 This was made manifest by their delivering the Lord up to death. 9
20 Therefore retribution awaits them. 15
21 They do not wish to hear about the Lord. 4
22, 23 They will perish by means of falsities on the day of judgment. 15
PP (Schreck) n. 78

78. Chapter 12 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 The church that expects the Lord asks why the wicked flourish. 11, 1
3 Oh! that He would come, and that the evil might be removed. 11, 1
4 Because there are no longer truths and goods with them, 3
5 they have self-intelligence, 3
6 and they wish to know nothing more. 3
7-12 The church where the Word is turns against the Lord, and has embraced falsities, whence she has been utterly desolated and vastated. 3
13 Goods are turned into evils. 3
14, 15 Therefore they are to be expelled, and others, of whom the church is to be formed, are to be accepted in their place. 3
16, 17 As long as they acknowledge the Lord they will remain. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 79
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 79
79. Chapter 13 [Jeremiah]
1-7 That the truth of the church would gradually perish by means of reasonings from the natural man, was represented by the "girdle of linen." 2
8-11 The like has come to pass with the church where the Word is, where they have backslidden from the Lord, and consequently from truths; 2
12, 13 and afterwards there were falsities for truths, 2
14 and consequent destruction. 2
15, 16 Let them beware lest mere falsity take the place of truth. 2
17 Grief on this account. 2
18, 19 It may be seen that all truth of the Word perishes. 2
20 Falsities take the place of truth. 3
21 Hence destruction is at hand. 3
22 The cause of this is, that they are interiorly evil and hence become also outwardly evil. 15, 3
23 It cannot be otherwise; 15, 3
24, 25 therefore destruction visits them, because they have forsaken the Lord, and hence they have falsities; 15, 3
26, 27 and in consequence their interiors, which are evil, will be laid open. 3

1-3 Truth is wholly lacking in the church. 2
4-6 He that seeks does not find it. 2
7-9 Prayer to the Lord to have pity. 2
10 Answer is made, that they have backslidden; 2
11, 12 therefore no attention is given either to their prayer or to their worship. 2
13 They are flattered into believing that there is no lack and no desolation of truth. 2
14-16 This is from their doctrine of falsity, which will perish, and together with it, those who live according to it. 3
17, 18 Grief that there is no truth either in the church or in doctrine. 3
19 Complaint thereat. 9, 3
20-22 Prayer for them. 9, 3
PP (Schreck) n. 81
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 81
81. Chapter 15 [Jeremiah]
1 Answer is made, that no intercession for them can be of any avail. 3
2, 3 They will be cast into hell, where are falsities and evils of every kind. 15
4, 5 They are to be driven out from the church, 3
6 because they have backslidden. 3
7 They have no truth. 3
8 Because there is no truth, there is falsity. 3 9, 10 The church with them has come to an end. 3
11 At the time of the judgment they will be destroyed. 15
12-14 Having been destroyed by falsities from the natural man, they have no truths from the Word; these will be taken away from them. 3
15, 16 The Lord, and His combats from Divine truth. 1, 7
17, 18 His grief over their falsities. 7
19-21 His victory over them. 8
PP (Schreck) n. 82
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 82
82. Chapter 16 [Jeremiah]
1-3 There is no conjunction of the Lord with that church, because no truths and goods are there. 3
4 They cannot but be cast into hell. 15
5-7 No compassion can be shown. 15
8 Because no good and truth can be received by them, 3
9 all conjunction with the Lord has perished with them. 3
10, 11 This comes of their having departed from worshipping the Lord; hence their worship is not worship of God; 3
12 therefore everyone wishes to be wise from Himself; 3
13 consequently they must be in hell. 15
14, 15 Others are to be brought to the church by the Lord, 11
16[, 17] both those who are natural and those who are rational. 11
18 Retribution will visit those who have previously profaned the church. 3
19-21 Those of whom the church will consist will acknowledge the Lord. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 83
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 83
83. Chapter 17 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 It is in their internals to worship only externals. 3
3 All true knowledges [scientifica] will be taken away; 3
4 but not yet. They will come into hell. 3
5, 6 Because they trust in themselves, they perceive nothing of truth and good. 3
7, 8 On the other hand, those who trust in the Lord always have good and truth. 11
9, 10 The Lord knows what lies hidden interiorly, howsoever the external may appear. 3
11 The truths which they learn are of no use to them. 3
12, 13 Because the Lord is heaven and the church, those who depart from Him are damned. 15
14-18 Prayer to the Lord, and acknowledgment, that the evil may be removed. 3
19, 20 The Lord, to those who are in externals: 3
21-24 that they ought to acknowledge His Divine, which is meant by the "Sabbath," and not violate it; 16
25 then they will possess an understanding of the Word, 16
26 and then their worship will be from truths. 16
27 If they will not acknowledge, the externals will perish from internals. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 84

84. Chapter 18 [Jeremiah]
1-4 It is represented that those who are in falsities and evils can be reformed by the Lord. 11
5-8 Therefore those who are converted after repentance, are accepted by the Lord, although they are in falsities and evils. 11
9, 10 On the other hand, those who are in truths and in good, and do evil, perish. 3
[11], 12, 13 Those who are in the church are told to repent and be converted; but they will not, 3
14-16 because they love falsities of every kind, and thereby annihilate the church with themselves. 3
17 Therefore they will be destroyed. 3
18 They exalt themselves against the Lord and consequently against His Word, despising Him, and falsifying it. 3
19, 20 Lamentation over this. 3
21, 22 They have no truth of the church, and they act craftily.
23 They cannot be forgiven. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 85
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 85
85. Chapter 19 [Jeremiah]
1 The church has been instituted; 3
2, 3 but they have destroyed its truths by dire falsities, and therefore the church has perished. 3
4, 5 They have forsaken the Lord, and have loved evils that gush forth from the love of self. 3
6 Therefore the church is no longer there, but hell. 3
7, 8 There they will be among profaners, 3
9 where there is deadly hatred for one another. 3
9-11 It is represented that the church there has been destroyed, so that it cannot be restored. 3
12, 13 Hell is actually there, because there is nothing but the lust of the love of self. 3
14, 15 This was foretold to them through the Word. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 86

86. Chapter 20 [Jeremiah]
1-3 They blaspheme the Word. 3
4 They will come among those who blaspheme and adulterate the Word. 3
5 They will disperse all the truths and goods of the Word, 3
6 and will thus perish with these. 3
7-10 Lamentation over the blasphemies against the Lord, and against the Word; 3
11-13 and the Lord's confidence during combats, that the Word is being protected. 3
14-18 Despair that the Word is so treated. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 87
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 87
87. Chapter 21 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 The hell of blasphemers of the Lord and of profaners of the Word was present. 3
3-5 The Lord cannot turn this away, because they ally it to themselves. 3
6 Everything that they have is such; 3
7 and they will all perish. 3, 15
8-10 Those who study the Word are worse off because they study it from something profane that is within. 3, 15
11, 12 There is no good and truth. 3, 15
13 Their heart is stubborn. 3, 15
14 Hence their destruction. 3, 15
PP (Schreck) n. 88
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 88
88. Chapter 22 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 To those in the church who possess a knowledge [scientia] of things. 2
3, 4 If they do according to the truths of the Word and the knowledge [scientia] they possess, and do not pervert these, they will have intelligence. 2
5, 6 Otherwise all of their intelligence will perish, 2
7-9 and everything pertaining to their knowledge [scientia], because they have separated themselves from the Lord. 2
10 There is no restitution. 2
11, 12 The church no longer consists of such, 2
13, 14 because they have made a religion for themselves by reasonings from falsities. 2
15, 16 Those who were before them in the church were not of such a character; 2
17 but they perverted the church by falsities of every kind. 3
18, 19 There can be no pity, but they must be cast out as profane. 3
20, 21 They are unwilling to give heed to the Word, 3
22 because they have been imbued with falsities of religion. 3
23, 24 They can have no protection through the Word, howsoever they acknowledge it with their lips. 3, 15
25-27 They will come among those who profane the Word, and by means of it make for themselves a religion that is contrary to the truths of the church, from which religion they cannot recede. 3
28-30 They have not a truth which has not been perverted and profaned. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 89
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 89
89. Chapter 23 [Jeremiah]
1, 2 Against those who have perverted the good of the Word, and by means of it have destroyed the church, who are meant by the "shepherds." 3
3, 4 They will perish, and the Lord will establish a church from others, who will teach and learn its good. 11
5, 6 The Lord will do this, and then those who are of His church will be saved. 11
7[, 8] Then they will acknowledge that the Lord is Jehovah, and that the church is His. 16, 11
9 Against those who pervert the truths of the Word, who are meant by the "prophets." 3
10 From their perversions the church is full of falsities and is perverted, 3
11 and there is no longer truth or good, excepting such as is external. 3
12 Because they do not see truths, they perish on the day of judgment. 15, 3
13 Truths are perverted by false principles, which are of religion. 3
14 But the Word is perverted, this is the worst. 3
15 They will possess nothing but falsity, 3
16, 17 which they also confirm from the Word, 3
18 saying that it is Divine. 3
19, 20 They will perish on the day of judgment. 15
21, 22 They learn from themselves, and not from the Lord; if they learned from the Lord, they would depart from evils; 3
23, 24 thus the Lord would be with them. 3
25, 26 They pervert by means of false interpretation. 3
27 Hence they have no understanding of truth, 3
28, 29 because they have none from the Lord, who also is the Word, in which truth from Him makes itself manifest. 3
30, 31 Those who call themselves enlightened pervert truth still more, 3
32 whereas they are not enlightened. 3
33 The Divine truth shows that they have gone back. 3
34 He who says otherwise will suffer. 3
35, 36 Moreover they will not know what Divine truth is; 3
37-40 and because they call that which is false, Divine truth, the truth of the church will be removed from them; hence their destruction. 3

1-3 After the whole church had adulterated and profaned the Word, it was represented that part of them were of such a character that they could be reformed, but part could not; these are meant by the "two baskets of figs, in one of which were good ones, and in the other bad ones." 2, 11
4-7 Those who could be reformed, were those who had been completely vastated, so that they did not know what is true and what is good; these can at last be taught, can acknowledge the Lord, can be received, and can become a church. 2, 11
8, 9 But those who could not be reformed, were those who desired still to be in worship from the Word, which worship they would then continually profane. 3
9, 10 With these, everything holy would be profaned, and they would perish. 3

1-3 The Lord to those with whom the church has been instituted. 11, 2
4-7 He taught them continually by the Word, that they should refrain from evils, and not go away to any other worship than that of the Lord; but they did not obey. 2
8-11 Therefore everything of the church among them will perish, and they will be in temptations from those who profane things holy. 2
12 Retribution will afterwards visit the tempters. 2, 11
13, 14 It will so come to pass. 2, 11
15-27 Knowledges [cognitiones] of truth and good, and also truths of every kind and sort will perish. 3
28-30 This cannot otherwise than come to pass, even with those who are in knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word. 3
31-33 There is no longer any truth that has not been profaned. 3
34-38 Lamentation by those who are in good, and in truths therefrom. 11

1-5 Exhortation by the Lord to repent, and live according to His commandments in the Word. 2
6 Otherwise the church with them will be destroyed. 2
7-9 Evil and falsity of religion condemned Him to death, 9
10-16 but because He spoke from the Divine, the truths of the church acquitted Him. 9
17-19 An instance of their not condemning to death one who spoke from inspiration, 9
20-23 excepting one who spoke falsely. 9
24 The Lord was not condemned on account of the people. 9, 3

Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 93
93. Chapter 27 [Jeremiah]
1-8 Since there is an end to the church, and to all things of it, they ought no longer to be there, lest they should profane it; therefore they were carried off to "Babylon," where they could not profane its holy things, and those who would not go, were profaners, and will perish. 3
9-11 Those who teach anything else, teach falsities. 3
12, 13 All with whom the church has been instituted will depart, or otherwise they would profane it, and will perish. 3
14, 15 Let them not believe anything else. 3
16-21 Nothing of things holy, not even of its externals, will remain, because it has been profaned. 3
22 The church will be constituted of others, after it has been delivered from the profane. 11
This was because the land of Canaan and all things therein represented the church, and as these are mentioned by name in the Word, those who profaned holy things could not be tolerated there. 3

8, 9 and not become imbued with falsities, 11
10-15 since when their spiritual captivity ceases, a new church will be instituted of those who are of such a character, and who acknowledge the Lord. 11
16-19 Those who were formerly of the church will profane the holy things of the church, and will therefore perish. 3
20-23 Those who have falsely interpreted the Word are condemned. 3
24-32 Those who persuasively established falsities, will abide in falsities, and will not perceive truth. 3

4-7 Then the last judgment will be executed with those who are of the church. 15
8, 9 Then they are to be brought to the church, and will worship the Lord. 11
10, 11 Then their spiritual captivity will cease. 11
12-15 They have been infested by evils and falsities, and there is no remedy, 11, 3
16 but those who have destroyed, will be destroyed. 3
17, 18 There will be a remedy from the Lord, who will restore the church. 11
19, 20 They will be perfected in truths, and it will last. 11
21, 22 This will be done by the Lord, when He will come, and He will be their God. 11, 1
23, 24 He will execute judgment upon the wicked. 15

10, 11 The redeemed will be guarded against falsities, 11, 17
12-14 and will receive things spiritual and celestial. 11, 17
15 They are as dead, 11
16, 17 but they will finally return. 11
18-21 They will come out of ignorance of truth into the truths of heaven. 11
22 They will understand them. 11
23-28 They will be imbued with wisdom. 11
29, 30 They will have no falsity of evil. 11
31-34 They will be conjoined with the Lord, and from that conjunction truths will be inscribed on their life. 11
35-37 This will be established to eternity. 11

16-22, 25 Prayer that it may be preserved, 11
23-25 but the former church will be destroyed,3
26-33 and it will be reproved because of its evils, which have also been with them from the beginning, although they had the Word and doctrine from it. 3
34, 35 They have profaned holy things. 3
36-40 When this has been done, a new church is to be instituted, which will be conjoined with the Lord, and will not be separated from Him. 11
41, 42 They will have every good. 11
43, 44 They will then have everything of the church. 11

1-5 A new church. It will be established when the former church has been destroyed. 11
6-9 After its destruction those are to be brought near who are to be led out of falsities, 11
10, 11 who will worship the Lord from an affection for truth and good, 11
12, 13 and who will be in truths of every kind after the former church has ceased to be. 11
14-16 This will take place when the Lord comes, who will institute it. 1, 11
17, 18 Then truth and good will not be wanting. 11
19-21 The spiritual and that natural will be in agreement. 11
22 Then there will be truths in all abundance. 11
23-26 Unless spiritual and natural truth and good become concordant, there can be no church. 11

1-7 The Jewish church will be destroyed, although its truth will be preserved. 3, 11
8-11 Those who are of the church will be free, [11]
12-16 but they have of themselves become slaves. 3
17-19 They will be slaves to falsities, because they have departed from conjunction with the Lord; 3
20 and because of profanation of truth. 3
21, 22 Therefore they will die the death of profaners. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 101

101. Chapter 35 [Jeremiah]
1-10 Those who are of the Lord's celestial church are represented by the "children of Jonadab," who were to "drink no wine, nor build a house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyards," which signifies to learn truths and retain them in the memory, which belongs to the spiritual church; but that they should "dwell in tents," which signifies to receive in the life and obey. 11
11 From this they will have the celestial church. 11
12-16 The Jewish church does not receive nor obey, although they are taught continually. 3
17 Therefore they will perish. 3
18, 19 But those who obey will be in the celestial church. 11

1-10 The destruction of the Jewish church and nation is foretold, and it is impressed upon them that they should repent. 3
11-16 They might know it to be true. 3
17, 18 It was foretold by the Lord. 3
19-24 They rejected it by profaning it; 3
25, 26 likewise the Word. 3
27, 28, 32 The Divine truth will not perish. 11
29-31 Because they have made themselves obstinate, the destruction of the church and of the kingdom is imminent. 3

103. Chapter 37 [Jeremiah]
Those who remained of the devastated church profaned the holy truths of the church by reasonings from knowledges [scientifica]. 2
1, 2 Those who remained did not live according to the truths of doctrine from the Word. 2
3, 4 They had regard to doctrinals. 2
5 They consulted knowledges [scientifica]. 2
6-10 It is foretold that they will be destroyed by reasonings from knowledges. 2
11-16 Thus doctrine was repudiated and falsified.
17-21 Truths were perverted, but not goods with the truths, until there was a lack of goods. 2

104. Chapter 38 [Jeremiah]
1-3 Those who have not yet been vastated, will be vastated. 2
4-6 They made themselves still more obstinate, by perverting doctrine from the Word, and defiling it. 2
7-13 The remnants that were not utterly falsified, were nevertheless tainted with falsities. 2
14-18 If they pervert them still farther, they will perish. 2
19-21 Otherwise, if those remnants are not so perverted, they will not perish. 2
22, 23 It is foreseen that all things of the church will be perverted. 2
24-28 This was hidden from them. 2

1-3 By reasonings from falsities the remnants of doctrine will perish. 2
4-8 They have been wholly falsified, even until there is no truth in them. 2
9, 10 The simple understanding of the Word had not yet been devastated, 2
11-14 because they were not in reasonings from falsities, but only in externals of doctrine. 2, 11
15-18 The remnant of doctrine will be falsified, but not yet. 2

1-6 The simple understanding of the Word according to doctrine will still remain. 2

1-4 But this was not done. 2
5-7 They consulted the knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man. 2
8-13 Thus they will perish by reasonings from these, and the knowledges themselves would be perverted by adapting them to falsities. 2

110. Chapter 44 [Jeremiah]
1-6 Much of the church perished by departure from the Lord and by falsities of every kind. 3
7-10 Now nearly all things left perish by means of knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man, nor do they refrain for fear of destruction, 3
11-14 because they consult knowledges, and thus there is scarcely any residue. 3
15-19 They make themselves obstinate, and love things that have been falsified by knowledges. 3
20-23 Their destruction in consequence of this foretold, 3
24-27 even until nothing of the church was left, 3

7-10 Pride in these will be lowered, and they will become falsities. 3
11, 12 They cannot be healed, because the church has been destroyed by means of these falsities. 3
13-19 The whole natural perishes, nor is there anything there but falsity and evil. 3
20-24 All its learning which confirms falsities will perish. 3, 11

1, 2 In part they have adulterated the sense of the letter, in part have falsified it, and in part forsaken it; nevertheless, they will continue to falsify it. 2
3, 4 They will profane all the truths of the church. 2
5-7 Because they have perverted the truths of the church more than others, 3
8-10 falsities have destroyed goods, and evils truths until nothing of good and truth is left; 3
11, 12 and because they have destroyed the church by profaning it, they will perish, as above. 3
13 Afterward the church will be instituted among others, 11
14-17 since all things of the Word, of doctrine and of the church have previously been consummated by profanities, and by evils and falsities. 3

To all who are in evil love and in falsities from such love in the church. 3
1-3 They will perish by reason of falsities. 3
4-6 All of the worship derived from truth and good has been destroyed, because there is nothing but evil and falsity. 3
37-10 Those who depart from evils and falsities will not perish. 3, 11
11 Lamentation over this, 3
12-14 that all who are in evils and falsities will be destroyed. 3

The last judgment. 15
1-4 They are to be destroyed on the day of the last judgment. 15
5-13 This will take place when the Lord comes. 1, 15
14, 15 Then they will perish by their evils, falsities, and profanities. 1, 15
3 16 Some will be left, 3
17-19 but even these will have no truth or good. 3
20-22 They will draw near to those who have perverted all things of the church. 3
23, 24 Falsification of the Word. 3
25-27 They cannot repent, because they cannot be led away from evils and falsities. 3

131. Chapter 8 [Ezekiel]
Profanation of what is holy. 3
1, 2 The Lord is represented in respect to Divine love, 1
3, 4 and it is shown how the holy of the Word has been profaned, 3
5, 6 namely, that they have separated themselves from the holy of the worship of the church. 3
7-10 Diabolical loves have perverted the lowest sense of the Word. 3
11, 12 They have instituted a worship in accordance with those loves, 3
13, 14 by adulterating all things of good, 3
15, 16 and adoring the devil in place of the Lord. 3
17, 18 They have closed against themselves the way to all mercy. 3

Visitation and judgment upon those who are of the church. 15
1-3 Exploration of their quality as respects the Word. 15
4 Separation of the evil and the good. 15
5, 6 Destruction of those in whom there is no good or truth. 15
7 Judgment upon the evil. 15
8-11 There is no compassion, because there is nothing but what has been profaned. 15

133. Chapter 10 [Ezekiel]
The institution of the church by means of the word and by means of doctrine therefrom. 11
1, 2 The Divine spiritual of the Word there forming the church, is described, 11
3-5 from which the internal and the external of the church is full of the Divine; 11
6-8 from this the doctrine is Divine. 11
9, 10 Doctrine from the Word, which is spiritual within. 11
11 It should act in unity with the Word. 11
12, 13 It is full of Divine truths. 11
14, 15 [It is known] from the Word, that it is such inwardly and outwardly. 11
16, 17 Doctrine is from the Word. 11
18-20 Influx of the Lord therefrom into the church. 11
21, 22 Conjunction of all things of the Word, and consequent life. 11

Doctrine falsified. 2
1-3 Beginning of the perversion of the church by means of falsities (the "caldron" here meaning doctrine, and the "flesh" the people) 2
4-7 by falsifications of the truth of doctrine. 2
8-11 It will be even worse, and they will perish by reason of things falsified, 3
12 because they will pervert all things. 3
13-16 All who are in falsities must be scattered; the church will consist of few. 3, 11
17-20 A new church will be instituted by the Lord, which will be in truths from Him, 11
21 at the time when the former church is being destroyed. 3
22, 23 The Word will enlighten the new church. 11
24, 25 This is made manifest to those who are in spiritual captivity. 11

135. Chapter 12 [Ezekiel]
Vastation of the church, and fulfillment of the prophecy. 3
1, 2 They are opposed to the Lord and the Word. 3
3-12 It is represented that the church has departed from them, through the falsification of the Word in respect to the sense of the letter, until there is no longer any church. 3
13 They have destroyed the chief truths by reasonings from the natural man, 3
14-16 and consequently the remaining truths, so that there is little left. 3
17-20 It is not known what good and truth are. 3
21-25 The Coming of the Lord will not be delayed. 1
26-28 It is vain for them to say that the prophecies of the Word concerning the Lord will be fulfilled after a long time. 2, 1
PP (Schreck) n. 136

136. Chapter 13 [Ezekiel]
The doctrine of the church falsified. 2
1-3 Respecting those who from their own intelligence hatch out doctrine, or falsify doctrine. 2
4, 5 They do not stand in the day of judgment. 15
6, 7 They say that it is the Word of the Lord, and yet it is not. 2
8, 9 They will be shut out from the church. 2
10-12 They falsely interpret the truths of the Word. 2
13-15 They will be destroyed. 3
16 They will have no protection against the hells. 3
17 The affection for falsifying. 3
18, 19 From such affections arise persuasions of falsity, by which they lead astray. 3
20-23 They will perish, and those who do not suffer themselves to be led astray will be protected. 3, 11
PP (Schreck) n. 137
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 137
137. Chapter 14 [Ezekiel]
1-4 Those who depart from the worship of the Lord have no enlightenment from the Word. 2
5 The church is of this description. 2
6, 7 If they do not become converted, they cannot be enlightened in truths from the Word, 2
8 and the church will be devastated, 2
9, 10 until there be nothing of the doctrine of truth in it. [2?]
11 They must not go back, but must acknowledge the Lord. 1, 11
12-14 When there is no longer any truth or good in the church, intercession will not avail in the least. 3
15, 16 Neither will intercession be of any avail when evil desires take possession of the church. 3
17, 18 So likewise when falsities take possession of the church; 3
19, 20 likewise when adulteration of good takes possession of it. 3
21-23 When these have taken possession of the church, another church will be established, on which the Lord will have mercy. 3, 11

138. Chapter 15 [Ezekiel]
1-3 There is no longer any spiritual good; 3
4, 5 none whatever, since that good has been utterly destroyed by evil love. 3
6 Such are those who are in the church. 3
7, 8 From evil love they will perish, and thus they will have no church. 3

139. Chapter 16 [Ezekiel]
The successive states of the Jewish church. 2
1, 2 There was nothing in it but falsity and evil. 2
3-6 It was forsaken by the Lord from the beginning, because it was without anything of the church. 2
7-12 After a time truths and goods of every kind and species were given to it through the Word, and thus evils and falsities were removed. 2
13, 14 Thus it could have been in intelligence. 2
15-20 It falsified all things of the Word. 2
21, 22 It extinguished truths and goods, and became as in the beginning. 2
23-25 It turned truths into falsities 2
26-28 by knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man, by traditions, and by reasonings from them, 2
29, 30 finally profaning [truths]. 2
31 It exalted itself above all men. 2
32-34 It obtruded its falsities on others. 2
35-42 They will utterly perish by the falsities by which the truths of the Word have been destroyed. 3
43-45 Thus they will be as in the beginning. 3
46-52 The like has come to pass with the Israelitish church, but in a less degree. 3
53-55 Nevertheless the church in general shall be restored. 11
56-58 It is everywhere better than in the Jewish church. 11
59-63 A new church is to be instituted among others. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 140
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 140
140. Chapter 17 [Ezekiel]
How the Ancient Church was instituted by the Lord, and what it became among the Jewish nation (the "eagle" meaning the understanding, and "Lebanon" the rational of the church).
1-3 Those who were in the capacity to understand were brought to the church. 11, 2
4, 5 They were brought into the Lord's spiritual church, and instructed. 11, 2
6 They became the church. 11, 2
7, 8 Others succeeded, who had not the rational of the understanding, of whom the church was to consist, and to whom all Divine truths were given, because the Word was given them, 11, 2
9, 10 but they utterly rejected all things of the church, so that they could not but be devastated of them. 2
11-13 They destroyed them by reasonings from the natural man, 2
14 excepting as yet a few, 2
15, 16 who, however, were natural external without an internal. 2
17, 18 Therefore they have destroyed those things which were of the church. 2
[19?] 20, 21 They will perish by means of reasonings from the natural man, and will therefore be dispersed. 2
22-24 The Lord will establish a new church of others, in their place. 11

1, 2 It is said, If the fathers are evil their offspring also are evil; 2, 11
3, 4 but the offspring are not condemned on the father's account, but everyone on His own account. 2, 11
5-9 There are some of the offspring who do not commit evils, or act contrary to the goods and truths of the church, and these are saved. 2, 11
10-13 It is otherwise with the offspring who commit evils, or act contrary to the goods and truths of the church; these are condemned. 2, 11
14-17 But He who does not do this is saved, 11
18 although the fathers are condemned. 2
19, 20 Everyone is dealt with according to His deeds. 2
21-23 The impious man who is converted is saved, 2
24 while the pious man, if he becomes impious, is condemned. 2
25-29 Both are of Divine justice. 2
30-32 Exhortation to be converted, because the Lord wishes the salvation of all. 2

142. Chapter 19 [Ezekiel]
1, 2 The first thing of the church among the fathers of the Israelitish nation was destructive of all things of the church. 2
3 That nation was likewise destroying all things of the church. 2
4-7 They were natural external, and opposed to all things of the church, and therefore they became perverted and were destroyed, 2
[?8,] 9 and afterwards they were wholly destroyed by means of reasonings from the natural man. 2
10, 11 The Ancient Church was in Divine truths, 2
12-14 but in the Israelitish and Jewish church all Divine truth was perverted and rejected. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 143

143. Chapter 20 [Ezekiel]
Successive states of the Jewish church. 2
1-3 Those who are of the Jewish church worship the Lord with the mouth and not with the heart. 2
4 The first of them, that is, their fathers. 2
4-9 They worshipped other gods, and did not depart from them, however much admonished, because they were natural external; this concerning them when in Egypt. 2
10-12 They were let into temptations, and then instructed. Also, respecting conjunction of the Lord with the church. 2
13 And they cannot even thus be brought to the worship of the Lord. 2
14-17 Although they were of such a character, yet they were not cast off. 2
18-20 Their offspring were instructed in like manner. 2
21-24 They in like manner reprobated all things of the church. 2
25, 26 In consequence they had representatives different from the former good ones, because they had profaned them; this concerning them in the wilderness. 2
27-29 When they had been introduced into the land of Canaan, they worshipped other gods in every way. 2
30, 31 They profaned things holy. 2
32-36 They are to be cast out of the church, because they have been such from the beginning. 2,3
37-39 They will not return to the church, but will be among the profaners of the holy things of the church. 3
40-42 A new church will be instituted, which will worship the Lord, 11
43, 44 and they will acknowledge their evils, and at the same time the Lord's mercy. 11
The church has perished by reason of falsities. 3
45, 46 (H.B. 21:1, 2) An external or natural church, which is able to be in the light of truth. 3
47, 48 (H.B. 21:3, 4) It is destroyed by evil love. 3
49, 21:1-3 (H.B. 21:5-8) It is the Jewish nation, which is here further treated of. 3

4, 5 (H.B. 9, 10) They will all perish by means of falsities of evil.
6, 7 (H.B. 11, 12) Grief of doctrine. 3
8-11 (H.B. 13-16) Destruction by means of interior falsities of evil. 3
12, 13 (H.B. 17, 18) Grief of the church because they cannot be converted. 3
14-17 (H.B. 19-22) All things that remain will also perish, owing to falsities still more interior. 3
18-22 (H.B. 23-27) Destruction will come by reasonings from falsities, and yet they will have worship, but from these falsities. 3
23, 24 (H.B. 28, 29) Their worship will be vain. 3
25-27 (H.B. 30-32) That church will come to its end when the Lord comes. 1, 3
28, 29 (H.B. 33, 34) It will be the same with those who have falsified the sense of the letter of the Word. 3
30-32 (H.B. 35-37) They will be cast into hell.15

1, 2 The church adulterating truths and goods of doctrine. 2
3-6 It is coming nearer to its end. 2
7-9 They destroy truths and goods by means of it. 2
10-12 They have been guilty of various adulterations of truth and good. 2
13-16 They are destroyed. 3
17-22 Falsities and evils of every kind are mixed with truths and goods.
23-25 The truth of the Word has been adulterated, 3
26 also its good; 3
27-29 likewise the remaining things which, though false and evil, have been made to appear as though they were true and good. 3
30 Nothing is left over. 3
31 They will perish in hell. 15

The church which is in truth, and the church which is in good. 2
1, 2 There are two churches, one which is in truth, which is "Samaria," and the other which is in good, which is "Jerusalem." 2
3, 4 Both are external natural, perverted in the beginning. 2
5-8 "Samaria" falsified the truths of the Word by reasonings from knowledges [scientifica]; 2, 3
9, 10 thus she became corrupted. 2, 3
11-13 "Jerusalem" likewise falsified truths, 2, 3
14-17 and adulterated goods also by various means. 2, 3
18 Thereby she separated herself from the Lord, 2
[19,] 20, 21 and defiled truths and goods still further by knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man. 2
22-25 They will wholly perish on the day of judgment. 15
26, 27 Thus the truths and goods of the church will no longer be perverted. 15
28-31 They will be in hell where there is nothing but evils and falsities. 15
15
32-34 They will also be in the falsification of all truth; 15
35 and this, because they have denied the Lord. 4
36-39 They have destroyed all the holy things of the church. 3
40-42 They boasted before others because of their having the Word and the holy things of the church, 3
43-45 although these were entirely falsified and adulterated. 3
46-49 Falsities and evils will destroy all things of the church among them, and such must be separated that they may no longer mislead. 3, 11
PP (Schreck) n. 147
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 147
147. Chapter 24 [Ezekiel]
1, 2 The end of the church among the Jewish nation. 3
3-5 Through the Word truths together with goods have been given them, also the Divine presence. 2
6-8 They are filthy by reason of the adulteration and profanation of truth and good. 2
9-12 The Lord has labored with all His might, that they might grow better, 2
13 but it could not be done; 2
14 therefore they will die in their profanities.3
15-17 Everything of the church will be taken away from them, and yet there will be no grief on that account. 3
18, 19 This will take place when the Lord comes into the world. 1,3
[20,] 21-23 Then He will destroy all the worship of that church, and there will be no grief on that account. 1, 13
24-27 When the Lord comes, those who will be led to the new church will be instructed. 1, 11

1, 2 Against those who are in the sense of the letter of the Word, and who pervert the truths of religion by things which do not belong to religion, who are meant by the "children of Ammon"; 2
3-5 because they wonder at the destruction of the church they will not know truths; 2
6, 7 because they have rejoiced over this, they will pervert truths. 2
8-11 Still more when they pervert goods of the church. 2
12-14 Of those who destroy the external of the Word and of doctrine: they will be rejected for a like reason. 3, 15
15-17 Those who by falsities of faith devastate the church will be devastated and perish on the day of judgment. 3, 15

149. Chapter 26 [Ezekiel]
Of the church as to knowledges [cognitiones] of truth, which is meant by "Tyre." 2
1, 2 They imagine that all things of the church consist in knowledges [cognitiones]. 2
3, 4 Thereby come falsities, which destroy the ultimates of doctrine. 2
5, 6 These and also affections for truth are destroyed by knowledges [scientifica]. 2
7-12 Much reasoning from the natural man will destroy all truths, from which comes self-intelligence. 2
13, 14 Thus all affection for spiritual truth will perish, so that nothing of the church will any longer remain. 3
15-18 Their end will be in hell, which will cause the rest of them to be in terror. 3, 15
19-21 When they have been cast into the hells, the knowledges [cognitiones] of truth will be evident to those who will be in heaven and in the church. 15, 11

1, 2 Further concerning the church in respect to knowledges [cognitiones] of truth, which is "Tyre." 2
3-9 The Ancient Church had knowledges of truth and good of every kind and species, and by means of them it had intelligence. 2
10, 11 Truths that protected that church. 2
12, 13 Acquisitions and communications of all the knowledges. 2
14-20 Knowledge [scientia], intelligence, and wisdom by means of them.
21-23 Divine worship from them. 2
24, 25 Truths and goods of every kind and thus everything of the church acquired by means of them. 2
26-29 Through natural knowledges [scientiae] they have perished. 2

1-5 Since they believe that they are learned from mere knowledges [cognitiones] and say in their heart that they are most intelligent from themselves, 2
6-10 therefore they will falsify all knowledges [cognitiones] of truth, and will perish thereby. 2, 3
11 Respecting learning from the Word. 2
12 From the Word they have all truths and goods of heaven and of the church; 2
12-18 in consequence of which they were in intelligence at first, but afterwards this was dissipated by means of their pride. 2
19, 20 Natural love consumed all things of the church, resulting in their destruction. 3
21-23 Of the understanding of truth, which is meant by "Zidon": it will perish by means of falsities. 2
24 Their destruction, lest the church should be still further destroyed. 3
25, 26 A new church will come into existence, when the former has been condemned. 11

1-3 Of the natural man who, in things Divine, trusts nothing but His knowledges [scientifica]. 2
4, 5 Such will pervert the truths of the church by applying their knowledges to falsities. 2
6, 7 Because truths have been perverted in this manner, all power, which is of truth, has been destroyed in their case, 3
8-12 and all truth will be utterly devastated, until they will no longer have truth. 3
13-16 Nevertheless something of a church will be established out of those who are natural and in knowledges [scientifica]. 11
17-18 Reasonings from knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man will not destroy knowledges [cognitiones] of truth with them; 11
19, 20 but these will be destroyed by reasonings from the natural man with those who trust knowledges [scientifica] alone, and have perverted the truths of the church. 2
21 Those who are of the church that the Lord will establish will have truths of doctrine. 11

1-5 The Coming of the Lord when all things of the church have been destroyed by knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man. 1, 3
6-9 Then all who trust in these knowledges will perish through evil loves. 3
10-12 By such the truths of the church will be destroyed through reasonings from the natural man, derived from falsities, even until there is nothing left but falsities. 3
13-19 All things which are of the knowledge [scientia] of the natural man, of every sort, will become hell. 3, 15
20-23 They will have no truth, thus no power. 3
24-26 This will take place through reasonings from the natural man. 3

1, 2 Of the natural man who is in knowledges [scientifica]. 11
3-9 In the Ancient Church a rational flourished that was derived from knowledges [scientifica] of every kind, through their confirming, by means of these, the Divine things of the church; and from this source they had spiritual intelligence. 11
10-13 The pride of self-intelligence, from which comes a trust in learning, has wholly cast them down from intelligence, and has deprived them of all the truths of the church. 3
14 They are cast into hell, that they may no longer destroy. 3, 15
15-18 There they are shut up, lest, while continuing in their falsifications, they should spread their falsities abroad. 3, 15
PP (Schreck) n. 155
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 155
155. Chapter 32 [Ezekiel]
Lament over those who by knowledges [scientiae] have perverted the holy things of the church. 3
1, 2 They pervert all truths of the church. 3
3-8 They fall into all falsities of evil, until they no longer see what is good and true. 3
9, 10 Those who are outside the church are horrified at their falsities. 3
11, 12 They destroy all things of the church by reasonings from the natural man. 3
13-16 They shall be cast into hell, that they may no longer pervert truths in those who are in an affection for truth. 15
15 17-23 In hell they will be associated with those who have profaned the holy things of the Word; 15
24, 25 also with those who have falsified truths of doctrine; 15
26-30 with those who have falsified the sense of the letter of the Word.
31, 32 All of these will be with those who by knowledges [scientiae] have perverted the holy things of the church, and thus they will be separated from those who are of the church, lest they persecute them. 15
PP (Schreck) n. 156
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 156
156. Chapter 33 [Ezekiel]
Of those who instruct and are instructed. 2
1-5 Those who are instructed by the preacher concerning falsities and do not take heed, perish; 2
6, 7 when the preacher sees falsities and does not give instruction concerning them, he perishes. 2
8, 9 The same is true of everyone who teaches doctrine, when he teaches and is not heard, or when he does not teach. 2
10, 11 So now in the church, they must be taught in order that they may be converted, because the Lord wishes the salvation of all. 2
12-16 If the evil man becomes good, His evil is forgiven; if the good man becomes evil, His good is not regarded. 2
17-20 These things are Divine justice. 2
21-26 A perverted church declares that it is the church because it has the Word; nevertheless it falsifies the Word, worships another god and does evil, 2
27-29 and will perish by reason of falsities of evil, 3
30-33 notwithstanding its hearing the Word, and being in external worship. 3

157. Chapter 34 [Ezekiel]
1-4 Respecting teachers who regard their own good only, and not the good of the church. 2
5, 6 In consequence those who are of the church come into an evil life. 2
7-10 Being such, everything of the church is taken from them. 3
11-16 When the Lord comes into the world He will gather the church together, and will teach it Divine truths. 11
16, 17 The evil among them He will separate. 3, 11
18-20 Evil shepherds destroy everything of the church, 3
21 and destroy the simple. [3]
22-25 When the Lord comes He will teach and save these. 1, 11
26-31 He will both teach them and protect them from falsities, and they will acknowledge Him. 11

Respecting falsities of faith. 3
1-5 All truth of faith among them perishes through falsities. 3
6-9 Falsification of the Word from this, until there is nothing but falsity. 3
10 They claim that the church is with them. 3
11-13 They speak against the church and against the Lord. 3
14, 15 When the church comes into existence, they will be devastated in respect to everything of the Word. 3
PP (Schreck) n. 159
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 159
159. Chapter 36 [Ezekiel]
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
8-12 A new church will be established by the Lord, which will be in truths and goods. 11
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
PP (Schreck) n. 160
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 160
160. Chapter 37 [Ezekiel]
1, 2 It is represented that the church was destitute of all life from good and truth. 3
3-6 It is foretold that a new church will come into existence, in which will be life. 11
7, 8 This also came to pass when that church was first instructed in truths, and was thus made fit for receiving, 11
9, 10, and it then received life. 11
11-14 Thus the Lord did when He came into the world, and a new church was established by Him. 1, 11
15-20 There were two churches, the celestial and the spiritual, and the two together were one. 11
21-25 This will be under the Lord, and the two will become one church from the Lord, and will be protected from infernal evils and falsities. 11
26-28 The church will be different because the conjunction will be different. 11

1, 2 Those who are in the mere sense of the letter of the Word, and in a worship therefrom which is external without an internal, are meant by "Gog." 2
3-7 Everything and all things of that worship will perish. 2
8-16 That worship will possess the church, and will vastate it, and it will thus be in externals without internals. 2
17-19 The state of the church will therefore be changed. 2
20-23 And the truths and goods of religion will perish in consequence, and falsities will succeed in their place. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 162
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 162
162. Chapter 39 [Ezekiel]
1-6 Those who are in the mere sense of the letter and in external worship, will come into the church, but will perish. These are meant by "Gog." 2
7, 8 This will take place when the Lord comes and establishes the church. 3, 1, 11
9, 10, This church will then disperse all the evils and falsities of such, 3
11-16 and will wholly destroy them. 3
17-21[, 22] The new church that will be established by the Lord will be imbued with goods of all kinds, 11
23, 24 and the former church will be destroyed because of evils and falsities. 3
25-29 The Lord will then gather together a church from all nations. 11

21, 22 The Lord is in the midst of them. 12
23-29 The further partition or inheritance continued. 12

Chapter 1
1, 2 When the church among the Jewish nation had been destroyed, "Babylon" appropriated to herself all things pertaining to it. 2
2 3-21 She wished to know all things of the church, and to acquire an understanding of them, and this was the beginning of "Babylon." 2
PP (Schreck) n. 173
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 173
173. Chapter 2 [Daniel]
1, 2 The future character of "Babylon" foretold. 2
3-11 This was not known to those who made common cause with "Babylon." 2
12, 13 They were blinded, 2
14-30 but it was disclosed by revelation from the Lord to those who were of the church. 2
31-35 The progress of the Babylonish religion follows: first the rulers would learn and teach the goods and truths of heaven and the church; and afterwards they would backslide, until nothing remained except what was adulterated, thus what was merely false and evil, and then the Lord would come. 2
36-38 First the Word will be taught there according to truths of doctrine drawn from it. 2
39 Afterwards the church will prevail, not from spiritual good, but from natural good. 2
40-43 Finally all good and truth will be changed by adulterations into evil and falsity, prevailing only through civil diabolic power. 3
44, 45 Then the Lord will come, and destroy that religion, and will institute a church that will be in Divine truth from Him. 1, 3, 11
46-49 This was the beginning of "Babylon," when it worshipped the God of heaven, and magnified doctrine from the Word. 2
PP (Schreck) n. 174
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 174
174. Chapter 3 [Daniel]
1, 2 "Babylon" was minded to depart from the worship of the Lord to the worship of another god, which is the "statue of gold set up by Nebuchadnezzar." 2
2, 15 3-7 All such agreed together, threatening all that they would otherwise be cast into hell. 2,15
8-12 Those rulers who worshipped the Lord did not obey; 11
13-21 they were therefore excommunicated and condemned to hell by "Babylon," together with all things of the Lord's church; 3, 11
22-25 but still no harm came to them, and it was clearly seen that they were protected by the Lord. 11
26-30, 4:1-3 (H.B. 26-33) "Babylon" was compelled by this to acknowledge and worship the Lord. 11

Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 175
175. Chapter 4 [Daniel]
1-3 (H.B. 3:31-33) [See above, end of chapter 3.] 11
It is foretold what "Babylon" will be, and whither their mind was moved. 2
4-7 (H.B. 1-4) This was not known to those who were "Babylon." 2
8, 9 (H.B. 5, 6) It was known to those who were of the Lord's church. 2
10-12 (H.B. 7-9) They purposed to have dominion over heaven and the church when that religion should extend over much territory. 2
13, 14 (H.B. 10, 11) Then they would no longer have any goods and truths of heaven and the church. 2
15-17 (H.B. 12-14) Nevertheless the Word would remain with them, although perverted. 2
18, 19 (H.B. 15, 16) Then those who were of the Lord's church perceived what those of the Babylonish religion were interiorly, and how far they wished to extend their dominion. 11
20-33 (H.B. 17-30) They were so stupid in respect to the truths and goods of the church, as to be no longer men, and this fact was confirmed from heaven, where they were seen to be such. 2
34-37 (H.B. 31-34) They feared as yet to extend their dominion over heaven and the church, but acknowledged the Lord before those who were under obedience to them. 2

176. Chapter 5 [Daniel]
1-4 "Babylon" profaned all things of heaven and of the church. 3
5, 6 It was perceived from the Word, that it was profane, 3
7-9 but it was not perceived by the primates who were in that religion. 3
10-24 It was confirmed by those who were in the truths of the church, that it was contrary to the Word for them to have exalted themselves above the Lord, and that thus they profaned things holy. 3
25-28 That religion was at an end because there was no longer good and truth of the church. 3
29, 30 Thus everything of the church there, came to an end. 3
31, 6:1-3 (H.B. 6:1-4) Worship of the Lord was thought about, as in the church. 2

1-3 (H.B. 2-4 [See above, end of chapter v].) 2
4-9 (H.B. 5-10) They deliberated about this, and concluded that they should be worshipped in place of the Lord; 2
10-17 (H.B. 11-18) which decree being gainsaid by those who were of the Lord's church, it was ordained that they should undergo the punishment of the inquisition, which is "the lion's den into which Daniel was cast";2
18-23 (H.B. 19-24) but still they were guarded by the Lord, that they might not undergo that punishment; 11
24 (H.B. 25) but on the contrary, those who invented that crime were cast into hell, 15
25-28 (H.B. 26-29) and those who were in worship of the Lord were saved. 11
PP (Schreck) n. 178
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 178
178. Chapter 7 [Daniel]
1-3 Revelation concerning the successive changes of state of the church: 2
4 The first, while they were in the understanding of truth; 2
5 The second, when they studied only the sense of the letter of the Word; 2
6 The third, when the sense of the letter of the Word was falsified, and falsity was made to appear as truth; 2
7 The fourth, when there was faith alone, which destroyed all things of the church, 3
8 and which was confirmed by the sense of the letter of the Word; 3
9, 10 they were judged from the Word, 3
11 and that faith was wholly destroyed, 3
12 and [those who were in] the former [states] were judged according to their life, 3
13, 14 and the church became the Lord's. 11
15, 16 Further explanation of those things: 2
17, 18 four successive states of the church are meant; 2
19-21 the last state is faith alone confirmed by reasonings and by the Word falsified, by virtue of which they would prevail; 2
22 and this until the Lord shall institute the church 11
23, 24 which has been destroyed by faith alone, [3]
25 and which despises the Lord Himself. 3
26, 27 Finally those who are in faith alone will be judged, 15
and a new church will be established by the Lord. 11
28 Thus comes the end.

Prediction concerning the church in respect to charity and in respect to faith. 11
1-3 The church which is in faith and in charity, and its power. 11
4 It will increase in truths and goods. 11
5 Faith alone will wholly destroy charity. 2
6-10 It will prevail through reasonings, by which it will dissipate the truths of doctrine that are derived from the Word. 2
11, 12 It will destroy the worship of the Lord, together with Divine truths. 2
13, 14 This will go on until the Coming of the Lord. 1
15-19 It is further explained, that this will be when the Lord comes. 2, 1
20-25 Faith alone will destroy the church, and despise the Lord. 3, 4
26 This is the end of the church. 3
27 It is a sad time. 3

1-3 Revelation respecting the end of the church. 1, 3
4-19 Confession respecting the Jewish church destroyed. 3
20-23 Revelation. [1]
24 After the church has been consummated, the judgment will come, and the Word will cease, 15
and so the Lord will glorify His Human. 10
25 Afterwards a new church will be established, but not easily. 11
26 Afterwards falsity will invade that church and will destroy it. 3
27 Still there will be a reformation, but this church will also perish from mere falsities and evils (Matt. 24:15) 11, 3

1-6 Manifestation of the Lord, 1
7-21 to reveal those things that will be in the new church respecting such as are in faith alone, and respecting such as are in truths from good, who are meant here by "Michael." 11
PP (Schreck) n. 182
Prophets and Psalms (Schreck) n. 182
182. Chapter 11 [Daniel]
The "king of the south" here means the church which is in truths of faith from good of charity, and the "king of the north" means the religion that is in faith separate from charity; how the changes followed each other did not appear in the world, but in heaven. 11, 2
1-4 The church among the Jewish nation will be destroyed. 3
5 Then a new church will be established, which will be in faith from charity. 11
6 Charity will be conjoined to faith, but faith will prevail; 11, 3
7-9 and yet with some charity will prevail, and will therefore be the first thing of the church. 11
10-12 Their posterity will fight for faith and will conquer. 3
13-16 Faith will gain strength against charity and consequent faith, and will overcome the latter. 3
17 The dogma followed that charity is from faith. 3
18-20 Contention about various sayings respecting this subject from the Word. 2
21-23 They simulated the dogma of charity, from which they had a quasi consociation. 2, 11
24-26 Confirmations from the Word in favor of charity were explained perversely, and they destroyed faith originating in charity. 2
27, 28 Painful conjunction. 2
29-31 Faith broke up the painful conjunction, adulterated the Word itself, and thus destroyed the church. 2
32-35 It was objected to by many, nevertheless they were overcome. 2
36, 37 Finally faith alone obtained-a religion which destroys all fear of God and the whole church. 2
38, 39 It worships another god than the Lord. 2
40, 41 Thus faith originating in charity was subjugated. 2
41 Nevertheless those who believe the Word in simplicity will remain. 11
42, 43 Faith alone will also destroy by reasonings from the natural man. 2
44, 45 When the end comes, those who are natural-sensual will be persistent. 2

1 Near the end, a new church will begin, in which the Lord will be worshipped, and the faith of charity will be received. 11, 1
2, 3 Then those who are in that faith will come into heaven, but not the rest. 11
4 They will become intelligent. 11
5-7 All this will come to pass at the consummation. 3
8, 9 This revelation is from the Lord. 11

1-4 Exhortation to abstain from the falsifications of the Word, otherwise there will be no church, but it will be without goods and truths, as before. 11, 2
5-7 They will become as before when they loved evil and falsity, but they will be withheld. 11, 2
8 They will return to God whom they worshipped at that time, and from whom they received good, not knowing that this was from the Lord; 11, 2
9-13 but because they still did not worship Him, but another god, goods and truths will be vastated. 11, 2
14-17 Those who will be of the new church, are to be purified by temptations, and prepared, 11
18-20 and a new church constituted of such will come into existence, which will acknowledge the Lord. 11

187. Chapter 4 [Hosea]
1-3 There is in the church nothing but evil and falsity from the falsified Word; 3
4-9 and because nothing of the law and doctrine remains, the church has been destroyed. 3
10-12 Because they have falsified the Word they are no longer able to understand truth, but will behold falsity. 3
13 For this reason their worship will be from falsities. 3
14 Will they not perish on this account? 3
15-19 Likewise those in the spiritual church: these will go away into falsities. 3

1-3 They have falsified the truths of the church, therefore the church has been destroyed, and they will be natural, abiding only in reasonings from the natural man. 3
4, 5 Consequently there is no Divine worship. 3
6 All truth and good is turned into falsity and evil. 3
7-9 They will perish on the day of judgment. 3
10, 13 The first of them were also such, they had no understanding of truth; so also their posterity, although instructed. 3

4, 5 At heart they worship another god. 3
6 They will reason against truths. 3
7, 8 They will be cast into hell, where there is such [evil]. 3, 15
9, 10, The evils of punishment come upon them, but in vain. 2
11, 12 They have been taught truths and goods, and admonished, 2

1 That "Israel," the Lord, was "brought down into Egypt," means that they were instructed in the first principles of the church. 1
2 They were there in natural desire and knowledge [scientia]. 11
3, 4 They were instructed in cognitions and knowledges [scientiae]. 11
5-8 When they have become spiritual, they will no longer be natural, since they will thus destroy truths and the understanding of them; 11
9-11 but from their having been in knowledges [scientiae] they will have intelligence from the Lord. 11

4 yet the Lord alone is God. 16
5, 6 When they became rich in knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word, they forsook the Lord by reason of their self-glorification. 2
7-9 Hence their destruction, 3
10, 11 because there is no longer any truth of the church. 3
12, 13 The truth of the church has been interiorly destroyed. 3
14, 15 They are to be kept from destruction, until all truth of the church has been destroyed. 2
16 (H.B. 14:1) Those who have worshipped another god will perish. 4

1, 2 The Lord will come and will execute judgment 1, 15

4-9 Falsity of evil will destroy all things of it by various insanities. 3
10 All good and truth has been dispersed, together with the knowledges [cognitiones] of them. 3
11 The Lord will fight with them. 7
12-17 Exhortation to be converted to Him, to repent, and to be wise. 2

21-25 They will have trust in the Lord, from which they will have goods and felicities, 11
26, 27 and acknowledgment from the heart. 11
28, 29 (H.B. 3:1, 2) By His Divine the Lord will fill those who are of that church with all things and will vivify them. 11
30, 31 (H.B. 3:3, 4) Falsities of evil and evils of falsity will dissipate influx on the day of judgment, 3, 15

4-8 upon those who are in knowledges [cognitiones] alone and in faith alone, and have thereby destroyed the truths of the Word and of doctrine. 15
9-12 Combat of good and truth against evils and falsities at that time. 15
13-15 Then evil is consummated. 3
16, 17 This is from the Lord, whom they will then also acknowledge, and from whom is the church. 11
18, 19 The Lord will then teach them the Word, and falsifications of the Word will be removed. 11

Verses
1, 2 [The teaching of] the Lord about the Word and doctrine from the Word: 1
3-5 About those who pervert knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word which are of service to doctrine and who thus turn away also the good of those knowledges: these will perish. 3
6-8 About those who apply the Word to a heretical falsity: these will perish. 3
9, 10 About those who pervert knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth, and thereby do injury to the external sense of the Word. 3
11, 12 About those who pervert the sense of the letter of the Word by falsity, by which doctrine perishes. 3
13-15 About those who falsify the truths of the sense of the letter of the Word: they do not resist in the day of combat, but destroy the truth of doctrine. 3, 15

4, 5 About those who destroy the celestial things of the Word: they destroy both its celestial and its spiritual things. 2
6-8 About those who destroy the spiritual things of the church: these go away in consequence into falsities of every kind. 2
9-11 The Lord entirely removed falsities of evil when the church was instituted among them, and they were instructed. 2
[?12] 13-16 Nevertheless that church perverted all things, and hence it has become like one who has truth and yet is without truth, and thus perishes in the 2
time of judgment. 15

1, 2 The church was instituted solely with the Israelitish nation, therefore falsities and evils must be examined there. 3
3-6 There cannot be at the same time a church and not a church, nor truths and at the same time falsities, without truths being snatched away. 3
7, 8 The Lord will surely reveal this; 3
9, 10 for from this it is clear how the church is devastated. 3
11 Therefore the truths of the church perish from falsities, 3
12 and the goods and truths of the Word will be carried off by them; 3
13-15 so also all things of the church. 3

1-3 Those who pervert the doctrine of the church: they will also fall into falsities in outermost things. 2
4-6 They worship in externals according to the statutes, which will be similar [to genuine worship], but only in outermost things. 2
7, 8 Some things true will remain, when the rest are false, in consequence of which truths will have no power. 2
9 Afterward all things of the church are falsified, 3
10, 11 and finally they are profaned by sensual knowledges [scientifica], the profanation extending to all things of the church, so that there is hardly anything left. 3

14, 15 Exhortation to be converted. 2
16-20 Lamentation over the destruction of the church, and over their own destruction, when the Lord comes. 3

6 They have pride. 2
7 They have no truths. 2
8, 9 They will perish on the day of judgment, because they have oppressed the church. 15
10-14 They destroy the church still further, and this is their delight. 3
15, 16 Destruction will come upon them on the day of judgment. 15

The conversion of the nations, which are meant by "Nineveh." 11
1-3 Those who were of the Jewish nation were commanded to teach the Word to the nations round about, but they would not, and thus they kept the Word among themselves alone. 11, 2
4-6 Knowledges [cognitiones] began to perish with them, and yet they lived unconcernedly. 2
7-9 The nations perceived that the state of the church was perverted among themselves, because of the loss of knowledges [cognitiones] among the Jews, and that the latter were unwilling to impart them to others outside of themselves. 11, 2
10-13 They should reject those things which were from the Jewish nation, because they were falsified, so that they might be saved. 11, 2
14-16 They prayed unto the Lord for salvation, which was effected for them, when the falsities from the Jewish nation had been removed. 17

have adulterated and destroyed the truths of the church. 2
7 They have done this from the beginning, and do not desist from it, 2, 3
8, 9 nor do they desist from adulteration, therefore this will bring about their ruin. 3, 2
10-12 If they had lived according to the statutes, they would have been in the good of the church. 2

401. The Historical Parts of the Word
[The Historical parts of the Word, like the prophetical parts, contain a spiritual sense within themselves, in which there is nothing Historical of the world, as in the sense of the letter, but there are heavenly things which relate to the church, and in the highest sense to the Lord, just like the prophetical parts. The Historical parts there are representative, and all the senses with their expressions are correspondences.
It ought to be known, that all the churches, down to the Coming of the Lord, were representative churches; they represented the church, and in the highest sense, the Lord; it is from this that the Word is spiritual and Divine. But the representative churches ceased when the Lord came into the world, because all things of the Word, those that are prophetical, as also those that are Historical, signified and represented Him and this is why the Lord is called "the Word."
There were three notable changes of the representative churches: the first, which was before the "flood," shall be called the Most Ancient Church; the second, which was after the "flood," the Ancient Church; and the third, which followed the Ancient, the Israelitish and Jewish church.
The Most Ancient Church is described briefly by "Adam" and His posterity; the Ancient Church, by "Noah" and His posterity; and the Israelitish and Jewish church by the Historical portions of the Word.
The former churches are described in like manner, but by more interior correspondences, in the Word that is mentioned by Moses; but this Word has been effaced, and in its place the Word was given that exists at the present day.
The church that followed these three is the Christian church, which church is internal, differing from the Jewish church as a moonlight night differs from a dark night. But as this church has come to its end, by the accomplishment of the last judgment, a new church is now being instituted by the Lord, which is called, in Revelation, the "new Jerusalem," to which the things that are being published by me at the present day will be of service; it is also being instituted elsewhere.
The Historical parts of the Word involve in a summary the things that follow.]
