 ISAIAH. 
 
 
 Chap. I. That the church has been vastated 
 by evil of life, vers. 1-8; so that there is little 
 remaining, ver. 9 ; that therefore their external 
 worship is of no value, vers. lo-i 5 ; an exhortation 
 to repent from the evil of life, that thus good 
 would be given them, vers. 16-19; that they 
 falsify the Word, vers. 20-23 ; that the Lord will 
 come and destroy them, and will establish the 
 church among others, vers. 24-27 ; this will take 
 place when nothing of the church will remain 
 among them, vers. 28-31. 
 
 Chap. II. The Lord's advent, and the new 
 heaven and the new church then, openly treated 
 of, vers. 1-5 ; because in the former church 
 there is merely the false and the evil of the 
 false, vers. 6-9; the Lord's advent openly 
 treated of, that He will destroy all who are 
 in the love of self, and in the pride of self- 
 intelligence, vers. 10-18; the last judgment, and 
 the casting down of the wicked into hell, openly 
 treated of, vers. 10, 19-21 ; the separation of 
 the good from them, described in part, ver. 22. 
 
 Chap. III. That there will be a want of 
 knowledges of good and truth, vers. 1-7 ; because 
 they are in evils, and in things falsified, vers. 
 
 A 
 

 2 ISAIAH. 
 
 8-12; that the Lord will come to judgment, 
 vers. 13, 14, and will cast into hell those who 
 have perverted the truths of the Word, vers. 
 
 15-26. 
 
 Chap. IV. That there will then be a new 
 thing of the church from the Lord, vers. 1-3 ; 
 and Providence lest the Word be further per- 
 verted, vers. 4-6. 
 
 CllAr. V. That a church was established by 
 the Lord full of truths and goods from the 
 Word, vers. 1,2; that it became perverted, 
 vers. 3-7 ; that it is further destroyed through 
 falsifications of the truth and good of the Word, 
 vers. 7-15 ; that the Lord will come and give 
 the church to others, vers. 16, 17; that those 
 who have perverted the truths and goods of the 
 church, will perish on account of falsities and 
 evils of every kind, vers. 18-30. 
 
 Chap. VL That the Lord has appeared in 
 the midst of His Divine Truth, which is the 
 Word, vers. 1-4 ; that the doctrine of the church 
 from the Word, not being understood, was impure, 
 vers. 5-8 ; it is predicted that all understanding 
 of the Word will perish, insomuch that at last it 
 will no longer be known what truth and good 
 are in the church, vers. 9-13. 
 
 Chap. VII. That ignorance of the truth and 
 non-understanding of the Word would enter and 
 begin to destroy the church, vers. 1-6; it is pre- 
 dicted that this will not take place as yet, vers. 
 7-9 ; but that it will at the time when the Lord 
 shall come into the world, vers. 10-16 ; that then 
 all understanding of the Word will be perverted 
 through scientifics and reasonings thence, even 
 until nothing remains, vers. 17-20; that then 
 
 i' 
 
 ISAIAH. 3 
 
 truth will be taught in all abundance, vers. 21, 
 22 ; that the church will then be wholly laid 
 waste, vers. 23, 24; it will be otherwise with 
 those who receive, ver. 25. 
 
 Chap. VIII. It is predicted that the know- 
 ledge and perception of the truth will perish 
 before that time, vers. 1-4; because they will 
 not be willing to understand the Word in 
 simplicity, vers. 5, 6; that through reasonings 
 from falsities the whole church will perish, even 
 until there will be no longer any conjunction 
 with God, vers. 7-12; and that they will not 
 know the Lord, who is the Word and the church, 
 vers. 13-16; that nevertheless others who reject 
 falsities, and put aside things falsified, will know 
 the Lord, vers. 17-21 ; and who through combats 
 against evils and falsities, receive reformation, 
 ver. 23 ; although merely the false reigns in the 
 church, ver. 22. 
 
 [N.B. Ver. i of Chap. IX., according to the 
 Efiglish Bible, is considered by the author as 
 ver. 23 of Chap. VIII. In this work, therefore, 
 vers. 1-3 of Chap. IX. answer to vers. 2-4 in 
 the English Bible, and ver. 20 answers to ver. 
 
 21.] 
 
 Chap. IX. Concerning the Lord's advent, and 
 the new church, which will receive Him, vers. 
 1-3 ; but not the old church, which is destroyed, 
 ver. 4; that the Lord, Who is described, and 
 Who will protect from falsities and evils, will do 
 all things, vers. 5, 6; that the old church, from 
 self-intelligence, will falsify and pervert every 
 truth and good of the Word, and thence of the 
 church, even until nothing remains, vers. 7-20. 
 
 Chap. X. Concerning the further vastation 
 
ISAIAH. 
 
 of the church, on account of the truths and 
 goods of the church being taken away by stealth 
 from others, vers, i, 2 ; that those [of the church] 
 will perish at the time of the last judgment, 
 vers. 3, 4 ; that they pervert truths throuerh reason- 
 ings from self-intelligence, vers. 5-1 1 ; that at the 
 time of the last judgment they will be utterly 
 destroyed by the Lord, so that scarcely anything 
 of natural truth remains with them, vers. 12-19; 
 that those will be saved who believe in the Lord, 
 and that they will be protected lest they shall be 
 enticed by confirmations of the false through 
 reasonings, vers. 20-22, 24; because the whole 
 church is laid waste through scientifics, whereby 
 the truths of the church are perverted and 
 falsities confirmed, vers. 23, 25-34. 
 
 Chap. XL Concerning the Lord's advent : 
 that He will judge from Divine Wisdom, and 
 that He will save the faithful, and destroy the 
 unfaithful, vers. 1-5 ; the state of innocence 
 appertaining to those in the heavens who trust 
 in Him, vers. 6-9 ; that those who are in falsities 
 from ignorance, and who have not suffered 
 themselves to be led astray by falsities and 
 evils, will approach the Lord, vers. 10-12; that 
 then the church will understand the Word, 
 and disperse falsities of every kind, vers. 13-15 ; 
 that those falsities will not hurt them any more, 
 ver. 16. 
 
 Chap. XH. Confession and celebration of 
 the Lord on account of salvation, vers. 1-6. 
 
 Chap. XHL This chapter treats concerning 
 the adulteration of good and the profanation of 
 truth, which is Babel. That the Lord will come 
 in Divine power, vers. 1-3 ; to a grievous judg- 
 
 ISAIAH. 
 
 S 
 
 ment on those who have wholly turned aside, 
 with a view to destroy them, vers. 4-9 ; because 
 there no longer remains with them any good 
 and truth, vers. 10-12 ; that therefore they will 
 all perish with their evils and falsities, vers. 13- 
 18; and abide in hell, where there are direful 
 and horrid evils and falsities, vers. 19-22. 
 
 Chap. XIV. Concerning the new church 
 which will be established, vers. 1-3 ; concerning 
 the judgment upon those who have adulterated 
 the goods of the church, and have profaned its 
 truths, which is Babel, vers. 4-6 ; the casting of 
 them down into hell, where they are the worst 
 of all, vers. 7-12, 15-21 ; their pride in that they 
 desire to reign over heaven together with God, 
 vers. 13, 14; of their dreadful end, vers. 22, 23 ; 
 that those are to be destroyed, who through 
 reasonings from self-intelligence destroy the 
 truths of the Word, and profane them, vers. 24- 
 
 27. 
 
 [N.B. The five concluding verses of this chapter, 
 according to the division nsed by the author, 
 
 make Chap. XV.]

 those who place religion in knowledges only, 
 which are Philistia, vers. 1-5 ; that on their 
 removal the church will be safe, vers. 3, 4.

 upon those who have rejected the goods of 
 charity, and have perverted the goods of the 
 Word, who are Moab ; their destruction, vers.

 them, vers. 10, 11; that they will remain until 
 the Lord's advent, and then will be judged, vers. 
 12-14; of what quality they are, and of what 
 
6 ISAIAH. 
 
 quality they will be after their downfall, vers. 
 
 I5» 23. 
 
 [N.B. This explanation of Chap. XVI. includes

 division?^ 
 
 Chap. XVII. Concerning those who place 
 religion in the science of knowledges only, 
 which is Damascus ; that they will be destroyed, 
 vers. 1,2; that [the science of knowledges] will 
 be serviceable to the new church, ver. 3 ; that, 
 that science of knowledges will then be rare, 
 vers. 4-6 ; but that they will be instructed by the 
 Lord, vers. 7, 8 ; that those who do not suffer 
 themselves to be instructed by the Lord, will be 
 in want of all things, and instead of truths will 
 eagerly embrace falsities, vers. 9-14. 
 
 Chap. XVIII. Concerning those who desire 
 to be in blind ignorance respecting things of 
 salvation, who are Cush [or Ethiopia] ; of what 
 quality they are, vers. 1,2; that when the church 
 shall be established, they will be rejected as 
 things of no value, vers. 3-6 ; that nevertheless 
 those who are in ignorance by reason of their 
 not being of the church, will draw near to the 
 Divine, ver. 7. 
 
 Chap. XIX. Concerning those who make for 
 themselves a religion out of the mere science of 
 such things as appertain to the Word and the 
 church, and who enter into that science, which

 heresies, and that they enter into falsities of every 
 kind, vers. 1-4; that all truths will perish with 
 them, vers. 5-10 ; that insanity with them will be 
 in the place of intelligence, vers. 11-15; that 
 they will perish, vers. 16, 17 ; that such scientifics 
 
 \ 
 
 ' 
 
 ISAIAH. / 
 
 will be of use, when they will be instructed by 
 The Lord in truths, vers. 18-22 ; that then the 
 spiritual, the rational, and the scientific will act 
 
 as one, vers. 23-25. .

 consequence of their being deprived of truths 
 they will be carried away by reasonings, and 
 will be stripped of every good of religion, vers. 
 
 1-6 
 Chap XXI. That natural good will no longer 
 
 remain, vers. 1-4; ^^P^^^^^^ ^^ '^f^^^^

 Chap XXII. Concerning self-intelligence, that

 when there will be truth and good, and protec- 
 tion from falsities, vers. 15-18; the false will

 church has become perverted, vers. 8-10 ; whence

 as [to assert] that the Lord has no power against 
 them, vers. 8-13 ; that those who have consulted 
 doctrine from .the Word, have repented, and 
 prayed to the Lord for help against the blas- 
 phemers, vers. 14-20 ; and have received for 
 answer in their heart, that those who have blas- 
 phemed the Lord will perish ; which blasphemy 
 is also treated of, vers. 21-27 ; that therefore it 
 will not extend any farther, vers. 28, 29 ; because 
 a new church will have its existence in its own

 Chap. XLVII I. An exhortation to the church 
 which adulterates the goods and profanes the 
 truths of the Word, that it should desist ; that it 
 was <rranted them to be a church and to acknow- 
 ledge the Lord, but in vain, vers. 1,2; that they 
 turned aside, which was shown them, vers. 3, 4 ; 
 
 lest perchance they might imagine they were 
 superior to others, ver. 5, and that they did not 
 know it, vers. 6, 7 ; when nevertheless they were 
 such from the beginning, ver. 8 ; that they are 
 not yet to be destroyed, for reasons of their own, 
 and that the time will yet be prolonged, vers.

 Chap. LL That the worshippers of God look 
 to the Lord from Whom, and to the church 
 through which [they obtain salvation], vers, i,

 gence, and will make them blessed, ver. 3 ; 
 because from Him is all good and truth, and in 
 Him every nation will put its trust, vers. 4, 5 ; 
 nothing remains to eternity except what comes 
 from Him, ver. 6 ; those who love good ought to 
 look to Him, and not regard the opposition of 
 
 men, because they will perish from falsities and 
 evils vers. 7, 8 ; they ought to look to the Lord, 
 because He has Divine power to act, and because 
 He is able to remove the hells, so that those who 
 love -ood may joyfully pass through them with- 
 out hurt, vers. 9-1 1 ; that they have nothing to 
 fear from the evils thence, nor from their infesta- 
 tion, vers. 12, 13 ; that the Lord will bring them

 falsities should break in, ver. i ; and that it may 
 reject the falsities (ver. 2) by which they had 
 been captivated, and from which they will be 
 delivered, ver. 3 ; for they had been imbued with 
 knowledges of the false, confirmed by reasonings, 
 ver 4 • whence there proceeded evil, and ignor- 
 ance of God, ver. 5 ; but they will know their 
 God, when He comes into the world, vers. 6, 7 ; 
 when He v/ill restore the church, vers. 8, 9 ; and 
 will manifest Himself, ver. 10 ; and they will 
 then give up those religious persuasions in which 
 there are such falsities, ver. 11; the Lord \vill 
 lead them out by degrees, vers. 12, 13 ; that He 
 will appear in humility, ver. 14 ; that those who

 Chap. LIII. Concerning the Lord's appear- 
 ance in the state of humiliation ; that it is 
 scarcely believed that the omnipotence of God 
 is in the Lord, ver. i ; because He will appear 
 as [an] ordinary [man], and therefore as an 
 object of contempt, vers. 2, 3 ; and that the 
 appearance will be as if the Divine were not in 
 Him, ver. 4 ; when nevertheless through this 
 salvation will be caused, ver. 5 ; that He will 
 endure all things, even to the passion of the 
 cross, vers. 6-S ; and that He will subdue the

 Chap. LIV. That those among whom the 
 church was not before, will have many truths of 
 the church, and that these truths will be multi- 
 plied, vers. 1-3 ; that former falsities will not be 
 remembered, because the Lord will be the God 
 of the church, vers. 4, 5 ; that for some time 
 they were as without God, vers. 5, 6 ; that this 
 was the case while there was no church ; but 
 that the church will be restored by the Lord 
 (vers. 7, 8) when there is no truth ; although 
 afterwards truth will not fail, vers. 9, 10 ; that 
 the doctrinals will be full of spiritual and 
 celestial truths from the Lord, vers. 11-13; 
 there will no longer be any cause of fear from 
 the falsities from hell, vers. 14, 15; that those 
 who from these falsities are against the church 
 will be cast into hell, vers. 16, 17.

 to be insane amid falsities, ver. 12.

 speak against the Divine (ver. 4), who love a 1

 it before all, and have extended it to falsities of 
 every kind, ver. 8 ; and call them heavenly goods 
 and truths, and adore them with a lowering 
 down of the whole [body], ver. 9 ; that they 
 have not withdrawn [their doctrine], because it 
 proceeded from self-intelligence, ver. 10 ; and 
 indeed for this reason, because they did not 
 consult the Lord, Who would have taught them 
 (vers. II, 12), that falsities will destroy them ; it 
 is otherwise with those who love the Lord, that 
 He may teach truths and remove falsities, vers. 
 13, 14 ; that the Lord does this with the humble 
 in heart, ver. 1 5 ; that He cannot do this for 
 those who are wise from self, vers. 16, 17 ; but for 
 those who are grieved at their self, vers. 18, 19 ; 
 neither can He do it with those who only 
 produce evils and falsities from their natural, 
 from whom such evils and falsities are never 
 removed, vers. 20, 21. 
 
 Chap. LVHL Concerning the iniquity of 
 the old church, which is to be disclosed, ver. i ; 
 they are like those who love truth, ver. 2 ; and 
 like those that turn themselves, ver. 3 ; but they 
 turn themselves from an evil principle, ver. 4 ; 
 that conversion does not consist in speaking 
 devoutly, but in shunning evils, vers. 5, 6 ; and 
 in practising charity, ver. 7 ; then they will have 
 truths in abundance, and the Lord will be with 
 them, vers. 8-1 1 ; thus the church will be with 
 them, and they will restore all things belonging 
 to the church, ver. 12 ; if they esteem the union 
 of the Lord with the church holy, that then they 
 shall come into heaven, vers. 13, 14. 
 
 Chap. LIX. That the Lord hears all things, 
 and can do all things, but that falsities and evils 
 obstruct, vers, i, 2 ; that truths have been 
 falsified by them, whence arise evils of life and 
 falsities of doctrine, vers. 3, 4 ; that they devise 
 such things as captivate and deceive, and after- 
 wards kill, ver. 5 ; that the things of doctrine 
 and of life are with them of no use whatever, 
 ver. 6 ; they are eager to pervert, whence comes 
 vastation, ver. 7 ; whosoever follows them loses 
 the truths of the church [which are with] himself, 
 ver. 8 ; hence it is that they are in falsities, and 
 in the midst of light see nothing, vers. 9, 10 ; 
 thence there results no salvation, ver. 1 1, because 
 there are nothing but evils, together with a 
 turning away from truths, and thus from the 
 Lord, vers. 12-15 ; inasmuch as there was not 
 any one in the truth, nor any one with the Lord, 
 therefore He alone out of the Divine Truth 
 fought by His own power, vers. 16, 17; from 
 vengeance as it were, ver. 18 ; wherefore Divine 
 worship belongs to Him alone, because redemp- 
 tion is from Him, vers. 19, 20 ; and that from this 
 Divine is all the truth of the church to eternity, 
 
 ver. 2 1 .

 will draw near to Him in great numbers from all 
 parts, even those who are external, vers. 3-5 ; 
 who will worship the Lord from good and truth, 
 vers. 6, 7 ; that those will draw near who are in 
 the shade of truth, ver. 8 ; that the truths of the 
 church and the church itself will be among them,

 Chap. I. The perverted state of the church, 
 vers. 1-3 ; concerning the Lord, who is [repre- 
 sented] there [by] Jeremiah, that He will be 
 born in order to teach all men Divine Truth, 
 vers. 4-8 ; that He will teach the truths and 
 goods of the church out of His Divine, and 
 will destroy falsities and evils, vers. 9, 10; that 
 the truths of every good had been given them 
 through the Word, vers, ii, 12; but that they 
 had perverted them, ver. 13; whence there 
 arose falsities of every kind against the truths 
 of the church, vers. 14, 15; and thence a con- 
 tradictory worship, ver. 16; that the Lord will 
 grant them to fight against Him, and that they 
 will be subdued, because with the Lord is the 
 
 Divine, vers. 17-19. 
 
 Chap. H. Concerning the church which has 
 been instituted among the Ancients, and concern- 
 ing its primitive state, that it was defended from 
 falsities and evils, vers. 1-3 ; that from no cause 
 they departed from Him who had led and pro- 
 tected them (vers. 4-6), and who had taught them 
 all things of the church, which, nevertheless by 
 their turning aside they perverted, the truths as 
 well as the goods, vers. 7, 8 ; that still He will 
 teach amid difficulty, ver. 9 ; that no nation has 
 changed its religion, as they have done, vers. 10, 
 
 11; it is dreadful that they should have rejected 
 the Lord and fabricated for themselves falsities 
 of doctrine, vers. 12, 13; wherefore the church 
 and its doctrine are laid waste (vers. 14, 15), 
 through falsities originating in the natural man, 
 ver. 16; that this has taken place because they 
 have rejected the Lord (ver. 17), through 
 scientifics and reasonings, ver. 18; that they 
 draw punishments down upon themselves, be- 
 cause they have separated themselves from the 
 Lord, and worshiped infernal things, vers. 19, 
 20 ; when yet genuine truths had been given 
 to them, and still they became such, ver. 21 ; 
 howsoever in externals they carry on a worship 
 similar to that [from genuine truths], that in- 
 wardly they are nevertheless infernals, vers. 22, 
 23 ; that they crave to be in falsities and evils, 
 and that they shun truths and goods, vers. 24, 
 25 ; that evils and falsities constitute their 
 worship, vers. 26, 27 ; that this is the case with 
 all, ver. 28 ; that they are not willing to return,

 less they were not forsaken by the Lord, but 
 that they have forsaken Him, vers. 31, 32 ; that 
 they struggle to confirm those [evils and falsities] 
 by falsifications of the Word, vers. 33, 34 ; that 
 they have also confirmed them through reason- 
 ings originating in the natural man, ver. 36 ; 
 that nevertheless their confirmations are of no 
 
 avail, ver. 37.

 or the truths of the church ; that they have 
 turned aside and have falsified the truths, vers. 
 I, 2; that they did not wish to understand 
 truths, ver. 3 ; that they only acknowledged the 
 
32 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 
 Word outwardly in the letter, yet did not abide 
 with the Word, but with falses, vers. 4, 5 ; that 
 the church, as to truths, has falsified these, and 
 was unwilling to be reformed, vers. 6, 7 ; that 
 the celestial church, or the church as to goods, 
 has done the same thing, that even as the 
 former falsified truths, so the latter adulterated 
 goods, vers. 7-9 ; that they worship the falses of 
 evil, and pervert goods still more than truths, vers. 
 10, 11 ; an exhortation to reject the false and to 
 receive the truth, in order that there may be con- 
 junction and a church, vers. 12-14; and then there 
 will be knowledge, ver. 1 5 ; that when the Lord 
 shall come, there will no more be the representa- 
 tive of the church, but a church where the Lord 
 Himself will be in the place of the former, vers. 
 16, 17; that then truth and good will make a 
 one, ver. 18; concerning those who will draw 
 near, that they will be adopted as sons by the 
 Lord, ver. 19 ; but that the church has become 
 perverted, vers. 20, 21 ; the acknowledgment 
 and confession of those who will be of the new 
 church, that they are in falsities and evils, vers. 
 
 22-25. 
 
 Chap. IV. An exhortation to desist from 
 evils, and to acknowledge the Lord, from Whom 
 those who are in goods and truths shall have 
 salvation, vers. 1,2; that unless they desist and 
 become converted, they will utterly perish, vers. 
 3, 4 ; that those who shall acknowledge, will be 
 removed during the continuance of the destruc- 
 tion, vers. 5, 6 ; because a desolation as to all 
 things belonging to the church is at hand, ver. 
 7 ; which does not stop on account of external 
 mourning, ver. 8 ; nor on account of complaints

 that they perish, when yet it is said in the Word 
 that they shall be saved, vers. 9, 10; the answer 
 is given that they are not willing to acknowledge 
 and receive, vers. 11, 12 ; that falsities break in, 
 ver. 13 ; concerning the corruption of the church, 
 vers. 14, 1 5, as to doctrine, ver. 16, as to the Word, 
 ver. 17; a lamentation over those things, vers.

 ing of truth, ver. 22 ; that all things of the church 
 have been destroyed, insomuch that not anythmg 
 remains, vers. 22-27 ; and that there is no church, 
 vers. 28, 29 ; that the things of the church can- 
 not by any means be restored among them, ver. 
 30 ; the despair of those of whom a new church 
 will be formed, ver. 31. , . 1 
 
 Chap. V. That there is no truth in the 
 doctrine, nor in the church ; and that if they 
 believe, what they believe is falsity, vers. 1,2; 
 * they were urged by punishments, but still have 
 not received, ver. 3 ; that reception is not due to 
 simplicity, but to application and industry, vers. 
 4, 5 ; therefore all falsities and the evils of the 
 false have rushed in, ver. 6 ; they have rejected 
 all mercy because they have perverted all the 
 truths and goods which had been given them 
 in great abundance, vers. 7, 8 ; wherefore they 
 must needs perish, vers. 9, 10 ; for, because they 
 have departed from the Lord, they have acknow- 
 ledged evils and falsities as goods and truths, 
 vers. II, 12; and they have annihilated the 
 Word, ver. 13; wherefore infernal evil will 
 invade them, and this will further destroy all 
 the goods and truths of the church, vers. 14-17 ; 
 but not as yet wholly, ver. 18; that this has 
 happened to them because they have forsaken 
 
 C

 JEREMIAH. 
 
 the Lord, vers. 19, 20 ; when nevertheless they 
 arc able to know that the Lord alone can do 
 all things, still they are not willing to know 
 that He Himself is God, from Whom are all 
 truths and goods, vers. 21-24; that this is, 
 because they delight in perverting and deceivmg, 
 vers. 25-27 ; and this is the reason why they are 
 held in esteem, vers. 27, 28 ; they must needs 
 perish, ver. 29 ; because all goods and truths from 
 primaries to ultimates are in such a manner 
 perverted, and likewise because all from the 
 highest to the lowest act thus, vers. 30, 31. 
 
 ClIAP. VI. Concerning those who have con- 
 junction with the Lord in the ultimate heaven, 
 who are the sons of Benjamin. That the church 
 perishes with them through falsities of evil, vers. 
 I, 2; that they have no longer any truth and 
 good, but the false and evil instead, whereby 
 they are destroyed, vers. 3-5 ; that the church 
 through these falsities and evils is destroyed with 
 them, vers. 6, 7 ; that there are still some truths 
 [a warning], lest they lose them, vers. 8, 9 ; yet 
 they do not hearken, ver. 10; wherefore all 
 things are being destroyed, ver. 1 1 ; others are 
 thus received in their stead, ver. 12; because 
 everything is perverted there, so that there is 
 no protection against falsities, vers. 13, 14; 
 which they do not acknowledge to be falsities, 
 ver. 15; and they reject truths, vers. 16, 17; 
 wherefore ruin awaits them, vers. 18, 19; hence 
 the works of their worship are of no value, ver. 
 20; that destruction awaits them, ver. 21, 
 through falsities, from which they reason 
 against the truths of the church, vers. 22, 23 ;

 Chap. VH. Concerning those in the ultimate 
 heaven with whom the church is as to good ; 
 [an exhortation] made to them, vers. I, 2, to 
 look to truths and goods, ver. 3 ; that they 
 should not believe that the church is with them, 
 ver 4, unless they live according to the com- 
 mandments, and do not violate the Word, vers. 
 5, 6 ; that truths and goods do not constitute 
 the church, ver. 7, so long as the life is contrary 
 to the commandments, the church has no 
 worship, vers. 8-10; that the Lord's church is 
 not with those who profane holy things, ver. 
 1 1 ; that the church here, as elsewhere, is 
 destroyed by profanation, vers. 12-15; inter- 
 cession avails nothing, ver. 16; because it is 
 certain that they profane the truths and goods 
 ©f heaven, vers. 17-19; ^^nce the destruction of 
 all ver. 20; that they rely on the externals ot 
 woVship, which are of no account, because they 
 have no internals of worship, vers. 21-24; that 
 they have obstinately rejected internals, even 
 from the beginning, vers. 25, 26; since reforma- 
 tion is in vain, the whole of their worship is 
 rejected, because they profane all things of the 
 church, vers. 27-31 i that they will be cast into 
 hell where there is nothing but the false and 
 evil! vers. 32, 33 ; thus that the church will 
 
 perish, ver. 34. c ^ ^u -^^ 
 
 Ch^p. VHI. That the profaners of truth will 
 be cast into hell, and abide in their profanations, 
 vers I, 2; that all that remains with them will 
 also' perish, ver. 3 ; that they are such that they

 cannot be converted and brought back, vers. 
 4-6 ; that they are not willing to know any 
 truth from the Word, but reject it, vers. 7-9 ; 
 wherefore the things which are with them will 
 be given to others, ver. 10; that they defend 
 their falsities, and declare them to be truths of 
 the church, and say that they are not willing 
 that t should be otherwise, vers. 11, 12 ; wherc- 
 foie as there is no longer anything of truth and 
 good remaining, they will perish, ver. 13; they 
 have recourse to the Word, but in vain, vers, 14, 
 15 ; then the fallacies of the sensual man, and 
 reasonings thence, will destroy them and infect 
 them with poison, vers. 16, 17; a reciprocal 
 grief and lamentation, that the time when a 
 new church can be formed of others, is so long 
 delayed, vers. 18-23.

 Chap. IX. That in the church there is 
 nothing but what is falsified and thence evil, 
 because they depart from the Lord, vers. 1,2; 
 that one falsity is derived from another even 
 until there is nothing but what is false, vers. 
 3-5 ; when they are taught, they pretend that 
 they are willing, but still they are not, vers. 6, 
 7 ; will they not perish ? ver. 8 ; grief on account 
 of the destruction of all things of the church, 
 even so that nothing is left, vers. 9-1 1 ; because 
 they have rejected the Word and obeyed their 
 own lusts, therefore they are in the falsities of

 37 
 
 evil, vers. 12-14; wherefore they will perish on 
 account of evils and the falsities thence, ver. 1 5 ; 
 a lamentation over the laying waste, vers. 16-18 ; 
 a lamentation that destruction results thence, 
 vers. 19, 20; because they are in infernal evil 
 and the false, ver. 21 ; that it may be known 
 that the whole of truth and good, and thence 
 the whole of power and wisdom, is from the 
 acknowledgment of the Lord, vers. 22, 23 ; the 
 coming of the Lord to judgment upon all who 
 are in externals without internals, vers. 24, 25.

 by which they cause evil to appear as good, and

 when nevertheless the Lord alone has power, 
 vers. 6, 7; that in order to effect this, they 
 misuse the Word, vers. 8, 9 ; when nevertheless 
 the Lord alone reigns, ver. 10; and that those 
 who do not acknowledge Him, vanish away, ver. 
 1 1 ; that all truth is from the Lord, vers. 12, 13 ; 
 that self-intelligence is absolutely of no account, 
 and that it will perish, vers. 14, 15 ; it is other- 
 wise with the church which trusts in the Lord,

 destruction of the former, vers. 17, 18; grief on 
 account of the turning aside of the church from

 downfall, ver. 22 ; a prayer to the Lord lest they 
 perish together with the wicked, vers. 23-25.

 mandments and acknowledge the Lord, which 
 
38 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 is the covenant, vers. 1-3, which was with them 
 when they were reformed, ver. 4 ; that through 
 this covenant every good and truth of the church 
 is theirs, vers. 5,6 ; that this was often told them, 
 but they would not obey, vers. 7, 8 ; but they all 
 did the contrary, and acknowledged another 
 God, vers. 9, 10 ; that therefore there is no help for 
 them, because they all love falsities and worship 
 other gods, vers. 11-13; intercession will not avail, 
 ver. 14; that they have profaned the church, and its 
 good and truth, vers. 15-17 ; that this is evident 
 from the fact of their delivering up the Lord to 
 death, vers. 18, 19 ; that therefore retribution will 
 overtake them ver. 20 ; that they are not willing 
 to hear of the Lord, ver 21 ; that they will perish

 Chap. XII. The church which is in expectancy 
 of the Lord asks, why do the impious flourish ? 
 vers. I, 2 ; that He may come, and that the 
 wicked may be removed, ver. 3 ; because there

 ver. 4 ; that they are inflated by self-intelligence, 
 ver. 5 ; and are not willing any more to know, 
 ver. 6 ; that the church where the Word is, turns 
 against the Lord, and has embraced falsities, 
 whence it has become entirely desolated and 
 vastated, vers. 7-12 ; that goods are turned into 
 evils, ver. 13 ; that therefore they will be expelled 
 [from the church], and others received in their 
 place, of whom a church will be formed, vers. 
 14, 15 ; that they will remain so long as they 
 acknowledge the Lord, vers. 16, 17.

 thatthe truth of thechurch will successively perish 
 through reasonings originating in the natural

 man, vers. 1-7 ; that the like has taken place m 
 the church where the Word is, where they have 
 departed from the Lord, and hence from truths, 
 vers 8-1 1 ; and where afterwards falsities have 
 taken the place of truths, vers. 12, 13 ; whence 
 comes destruction, ver. 14 ; that they should 
 take heed, lest the merely false take the place 
 of truth, vers. 15, 16 ; grief on account thereof, 
 ver 17; it may be seen that all the truth of the 
 Word perishes, vers. 18, 19 ; that there are falsities 
 in place of the same, ver. 20 ; that hence ruin 
 is at hand, ver. 21 ; the reason is, because they 
 arc inwardly wicked, and therefore are also 
 becoming outwardly wicked, ver. 22 ; that it 
 cannot be otherwise, ver. 23 ; wherefore ruin 
 comes on account of their having forsaken the 
 Lord, and that from this cause they are in falsi- 
 ties, vers. 24, 25 ; wherefore the interiors which 
 are'evil, will be laid open, vers. 26, 27.

 does not find it, vers. 4-6 ; a prayer to the Lord 
 that He should have mercy, vers. 7-9 ; an answer 
 is made, that they have turned aside, ver. 10 ; 
 that therefore no attention is paid to their 
 prayer, nor to their worship, vers, il, 12; that 
 they are told flatteringly that there is no lack 
 and no desolation of the truth, ver. 13; that 
 this is due to their doctrine of the false which 
 will perish, and together with it those who live 
 according to this doctrine, vers. 14-19; gnef at 
 the fact that there is no truth either in the 
 church or in doctrine, vers. 17, 18; a complaint 
 on this ground, ver. 19 ; a prayer for the above,

 truth can be received by them, ver. S ; that all 
 conjunction with the Lord has perished with 
 them, ver. 9 ; that the cause of this is, their 
 having turned aside from worshipping the Lord ; 
 wherefore their worship is not the worship of 
 God, vers. 10, 11 ; hence every one desires to be 
 wise from self, ver. 12 ; for this reason they will 
 be in hell, ver. 13 ; that others will be called by 
 the Lord to the church, vers. 14, 15 ; those who 
 are natural, as well as those who are rational, 
 ver. 16; that retribution shall be made to those

 41 
 
 who had previously profaned the church, vers. 
 17, 18 ; that those of whom the church will be 
 formed, will acknowledge the Lord, vers. 19-21. 
 Chap. XVH. That in their internals prevails 
 [the principle] of worshipping only things ex- 
 ternal, vers. 1,2; that all true scientifics will be 
 taken away, ver. 3, not as yet; but that they 
 will come into hell, ver. 4 ; that on account of 
 their trust in themselves, they do not perceive 
 anything of truth and good, vers. 5, 6; and con- 
 versely, that those whose trust is in the Lord 
 always have good and truth, vers. 7, 8 ; that the 
 Lord knows what lies inwardly hid, howsoever 
 the external may appear, vers. 9, 10; that the 
 truths which they learn are not of any use to 
 them, ver. 1 1 ; that the Lord is heaven and the 
 church, wherefore those who depart from Him 
 are condemned, vers. 12,13; a prayer to the Lord, 
 and an acknowledgment that the wicked will 
 be removed, vers. 14-18; the Lord [speaking] to 
 those who are in externals, vers. 19, 20 ; that 
 they shall acknowledge His Divine, which is the 
 Sabbath, and that they shall not violate it, vers. 
 21-24; that then they shall have an under- 
 standing of the Word, ver. 25 ; and that then 
 their worship will be from truths, ver. 26 ; that 
 if they will not acknowledge, externals will then 
 perish from internals, ver. 27. 
 J. Chap. XVHI. It is represented that those 
 who are in falsities and evils can be reformed by 
 the Lord, vers. 1-4 ; wherefore those who after 
 repentance turn themselves, notwithstanding their 
 being in falsities and evils, are accepted by the 
 Lord, vers. 5-8 ; and conversely, that those who 
 are in truths and in good, and do evil, perish, vers.

 9, 10 ; those who are in the church were told, 
 that they should repent and turn themselves, but 
 that they were not willing, vers. 11-13 ; because 
 they love falsities of every kind, and thereby 
 annihilate the church in themselves, vers. 14-16 ; 
 wherefore they will be destroyed, ver. 17; that 
 they lift themselves up against the Lord, and 
 thus against His Word, by despising Him and 
 falsifying it, ver. 18; a lamentation thereat, vers. 
 19, 20 ; that no truth of the church is theirs ; and 
 that they act craftily, vers. 21, 22; that they 
 cannot be forgiven, ver. 23. 
 
 Chap. XIX. Concerning the church which 
 was instituted, ver. i ; but that they have 
 destroyed its truths by direful falsities ; that 
 therefore the church has perished, vers. 2, 3 ; 
 that they have forsaken the Lord, and have 
 loved evils originating from the love of self, vers. 
 4, 5 ; wherefore the church is no longer there, 
 but hell, ver. 6 ; that there they will be among 
 the profaners, vers. 7, 8 ; where there is a deadly 
 hatred against one another, ver. 9 ; it is repre- 
 sented that the church there has been destroyed, 
 so that it cannot be restored, vers. 9-1 1 ; that 
 hell is actually there, because nothing but the 
 lust of self-love is there, vers. 12, 13; but this 
 was predicted to them through the Word, vers. 
 14, 15. 
 
 Chap. XX. That they blaspheme the Word, 
 vers. 1-3 ; that they shall come among those 
 who blaspheme and adulterate the Word, ver. 4 ; 
 that all the truths and goods of the Word will 
 be dispersed by them, ver. 5 ; that thus they 
 will perish with them, ver. 6 ; a lamentation 
 over the blasphemies against the Lord and 
 
 1 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 43 
 
 against the Word, vers. 7-10 ; but confidence of 
 the Lord during the combats that the Word is 
 being protected, vers. 11-13; despair because 
 the Word is so treated, vers. 14-18. 
 
 Chap. XXL That the hell of the blasphemers 
 of the Lord, and of the profaners of the Word 
 would be present, vers. 1,2; that this cannot be 
 averted by the Lord, because they themselves 
 attract hell to themselves, vers. 3-5 ; that all 
 things appertaining to them are of such a nature, 
 ver. 6 ; and that they will all perish, ver. 7 ; that 
 it is worse with those who apply themselves to 
 the Word, because they do it from a profane 
 principle within, vers. 8-10 ; that they have 
 neither good nor truth, vers. 11, 12; that there 
 is a hardening of the heart, ver. 13 ; that hence 
 comes destruction, ver. 14. 
 
 Chap. XXH. To those in the church who 
 are possessed of the knowledge of things, vers. 
 1,2; that if they act according to the truths of 
 the Word and their knowledge, and do not 
 pervert them, they shall be in intelligence, vers. 
 3, 4 ; that otherwise the whole of their intelli- 
 gence will perish, vers. 5, 6 ; and the whole of 
 their science, because they have separated them- 
 selves from the Lord, vers. 7-9 ; that there is no 
 restoration, ver. 10 ; that the church is no longer 
 formed of them, vers. 11, 12 ; because they have 
 made to themselves a religion through reason- 
 ings from falsities, vers. 13, 14 ; that those who 
 preceded them in the church were not of such 
 a character, vers. 15, 16; but that they have 
 perverted the church through every kind of 
 falsities, ver. 17 ; that pity cannot prevent their 
 being cast out as profane, vers. 18, 19; that they 
 
 i 
 
1 1

 JEREMIAH. 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 45 
 
 I 1 
 
 are unwilling to pay any attention to the Word, 
 vers. 20, 21 ; because they have imbibed the 
 falsities of reh'gion, ver. 22 ; that they cannot 
 have any protection through the Word, however 
 they acknowledge it with the lips, vers. 23, 24 ; 
 that they will come among those who profane 
 the Word, and who thereby form to themselves 
 a religion contradictory to the truths of the 
 church, from which religion they cannot be 
 turned away, vers. 25-27; that they have no 
 truth but what is perverted and profane, vers. 
 28-30. 
 
 Chap. XXIII. Against those who have per- 
 verted the good of the Word, and thereby have 
 destroyed the church, who are the pastors [or 
 shepherds], vers. 1,2; that they will perish, and 
 that the Lord will form a church from among 
 others, who will teach and learn its good, vers. 
 3, 4 ; that the Lord will do this, and that those 
 who are of His church will then be saved, vers. 
 5, 6 ; that they will acknowledge then that the 
 Lord is Jehovah, and that the church is His, 
 vers. 7, 8 ; against those who pervert the truths 
 of the Word, who are the prophets, ver. 9 ; the 
 church from this source is full of falsities and is 
 perverted, ver. 10; and there is no longer any 
 truth and good, except what is external, ver. 1 1 ; 
 because they do not see truths, they shall perish 
 at the day of judgment, ver. 12 ; that truths are 
 perverted by the false principles belonging to 
 religion, ver. 13; but the worst of alf is the 
 perversion of the Word, ver. 14; with those 
 there will be nothing but the false, ver. 1 5 ; 
 which they also confirm from the Word, vers. 
 16, 17 ; declaring their falsity to be Divine, ver. 
 
 jl 
 
 18 ; that they will perish at the day of judgment, 
 vers. 19, 20; that these persons learn from 
 themselves and not from the Lord, for were 
 they to learn from the Lord, they would depart 
 from evils, vers. 21, 22; thus the Lord would 
 be with them, vers. 23, 24 ; that they pervert 
 through a false interpretation, vers. 25, 26 ; 
 hence there results a non-understanding of the 
 truth, ver. 27 ; because their understanding is 
 not from the Lord, who is also the Word, where 
 the truth from Him is manifested, vers. 28, 29 ; 
 there are additional perversions of the truth 
 from those who declare themselves to be en- 
 lightened, vers. 30, 31 ; when nevertheless they 
 are not enlightened, ver. 32 ; that the Divine 
 Truth points out that they have turned aside, 
 ver. 33 ; whoever declares otherwise will suffer 
 punishment, ver. 34 ; moreover, that they will not 
 know what Divine Truth is, vers. 35, 36; and 
 because they declare that to be Divine Truth 
 which is false, the truth of the church will be 
 taken from them ; whence their destruction, vers. 
 
 37-40. 
 
 Chap. XXIV. After the whole church had 
 
 adulterated and profaned the Word, it was 
 represented, that a part of them were of such a 
 character, that they could be reformed, but that 
 a part were such, that they could not ; these are 
 the two baskets of figs, in one of which were 
 good, and in the other bad figs, vers. 1-3 ; those 
 who could be reformed, were such as had been 
 wholly vastated, so that they did not know what 
 truth and good were; that such at length are 
 capable of being taught, capable of acknowledg- 
 ing the Lord, of being received, and of becoming 
 
f: 
 
 
 46 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 a church, vers. 4-7 ; but those who could not be 
 reformed, were such that were still desirous of 
 being in worship from the Word ; which worship 
 was then continually profaned by them, vers. 8, 
 9 ; that with them everything holy is profaned, 
 and that they perish, vers. 9, 10. 
 
 Chap. XXV. The Lord speaking to those 
 with w^ioni the church has been instituted, vers. 
 1-3 ; that He taught them continually through 
 the Word to desist from evils, and not to turn 
 aside to a worship other than that of the Lord ; 
 but they did not obey, vers. 4-7 ; that therefore 
 everything of the church with them will perish, 
 and they will suffer temptations from those who 
 profane holy things, vers. 8-1 1 ; that retribution 
 afterwards will reach the tempters, ver. 12 ; that 
 this will be done so, vers. 13, 14; that the 
 knowledges of the truth and of good, and also 
 truths of every kind and species, will perish, vers. 
 15-27; that this must needs take place, even 
 among those who are in knowledges from the 
 Word, vers. 28-30; that there is no longer any 
 other truth but what has been profaned, vers. 
 31-33 ; a lamentation by those who are in good 
 and thence in truths, vers. 34-38. 
 
 Chap. XXVI. An exhortation from the Lord, 
 that they shall repent, and live according to His 
 commandments in the Word, vers. 1-5 ; that 
 otherwise the church with them will be destroyed, 
 ver. 6 ; that the evil and the false of religion 
 have condemned Him to death, vers. 7-9 ; but 
 the truths of the church, since He spake from the 
 Divine, have absolved Him, vers. 10-16; a proof 
 that He would not have been condemned to 
 death, if any one had spoken from inspiration, 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 47 
 
 vers. 17-19 ; except one who had spoken falsely, 
 vers. 20-23 ; that the Lord was not condemned 
 on account of the people, ver. 24. 
 
 Chap. XX VH. Since there was an end to 
 the church and to all things belonging thereto, 
 that therefore they were forbidden to be there 
 any longer, lest they should profane the church ; 
 that therefore they w^ere carried away to Babylon, 
 where they could not profane the holy things 
 thereof; and that those who would not depart 
 were profaners, and would perish, vers. 1-8 ; that 
 those who teach otherwise, teach falsities, vers. 
 9-1 1 ; that all those with whom the church has 
 been established should depart, that otherwise 
 they would profane [the church] and would 
 perish, vers. 12, 13 ; that they should not believe 
 anything else, vers. 14, 15; that nothing will 
 remain of the holy things, not even of the 
 externals of the church, because they had been 
 profaned, vers. 16-21 ; that the church will be 
 formed of others, after it shall have been delivered 
 from things profane, ver. 22. — The reason of 
 this is, because the land of Canaan and all things 
 therein represented the church ; and because 
 these are named in the Word, therefore those 
 who had profaned the holy things could not be 
 tolerated there. 
 
 Chap. XXVHI. That they understood the 
 Word in an opposite sense, and hence persuaded 
 themselves, that the profane things of their 
 religion were the holy things of the church, and 
 that therefore they should not be led away out 
 of the land ; but it was pointed out to them that 
 they had persuaded themselves in falsities, vers. 
 1-17.

 Chap. XXIX. Those who are in a spiritual 
 captivity are told that they ought to study truths 
 and do good, and abide in the same, vers. 1-7 ; 
 and that they should not imbibe falsities, vers. 
 8, 9 ; because, when their spiritual captivity 
 ceases, a new church will be established by the 
 Lord of those who are of such a character, and 
 who acknowledge the Lord, vers. 10-15 J ^^at 
 those who had heretofore been of the church 
 will profane the holy things of the church, and 
 therefore will perish, vers. 16-19; that those 
 who have falsely interpreted the Word, are 
 condemned, vers. 20-23 ; that those who have 
 persuaded others of falsities, will abide in falsities 
 and will not perceive the truth, vers. 24-32. 
 
 CllAP. XXX. Concerning the establishment 
 of the church among those who have been in 
 spiritual captivity, or in ignorance of the truth, 
 vers. 1-3 ; that then there will be a last judg- 
 ment on those who are of the church, vers. 4-7 ; 
 that those [mentioned above] will then be called 
 to the church, and will worship the Lord, vers. 
 8, 9; that their spiritual captivity will then 
 cease, vers. 10, 11 ; that they are infested by 
 evils and falsities, and there is no remedy, vers. 
 12-15 5 but that those who have destroyed will 
 be destroyed, ver. 16; that a remedy will come 
 from the Lord, who will restore the church, vers. 
 17, 18; that they will be perfected in truths, 
 and [the church] will endure, vers. 19, 20; that 
 this will be effected by the Lord when He 
 comes, who will be their God, vers. 21, 22 ; that 
 He will hold a judgment on the impious, vers. 
 2^, 24. 
 
 Chap. XXXI. Concerning the new church 
 
 about to be established by the Lord, which is 
 Israel and Zion. That the Lord will be their 
 God, ver. i ; that being loved [by Him] it will 
 receive the goods of the church, vers. 2-5 ; that 
 they will be called, vers. 6-% ; that they will 
 come and will understand truths, ver. 9; that 
 being redeemed they will be preserved from 
 falsities, vers. 10, 11 ; and that they will receive 
 spiritual and celestial things, vers. 12-14; that 
 they are like dead, ver. 15 ; but that at last 
 they will return, vers. 16, 17 ; that out of a state 
 of ignorance of the truth they will come into 
 the truths of heaven, vers. 18-21; that they 
 will understand them, ver. 22 ; that they will 
 imbibe wisdom, vers. 23-28 ; that the false of 
 evil will not be with them, vers. 29, 30; that 
 they will have conjunction with the Lord, and 
 that by virtue of this conjunction truths will be 
 inscribed on their life, vers. 31-34; that this 
 will be immutable to eternity, vers. 35-37; that 
 they will have a broad and extensive doctrine 
 of life, vers. 38-40. 
 
 Chap. XXXII. Indignation that the Jewish 
 church will be destroyed, vers. 1-5 ; that never- 
 theless the Lord's church will be preserved, vers. 
 6-15 ; a prayer that it may be preserved, vers. 
 16-22, 25 ; but that the former church will be 
 destroyed, vers. 23-25 ; and will be condemned 
 on account of its evils, which have been with 
 them even from the beginning, although they 
 had the Word, and doctrine thence, vers. 26-33 J 
 that they have profaned the holy things, vers. 
 34, 35 ; that after this is done, a new church 
 will be established, which will be conjoined with 
 the Lord, and will not be separated, vers. 36-40 ; 
 
 D 
 
so 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 that all good will be theirs, vers, 41,4-; every- 
 thing of the church will then be theirs, vers. 
 
 43> 44. 
 
 Chap. XXXIII. Concerning the new church, 
 
 that it will be established, after the former 
 
 shall be destroyed, vers. 1-5 ; that after its 
 
 destruction those will be called who may be 
 
 led out of falsities, vers. 6-9 ; who will worship 
 
 the Lord from the affection of truth and good, 
 
 vers. lo-ii; who after the former church [has 
 
 passed away] will be in truths of every kind, 
 
 vers. 12, 13; that this will take place when the 
 
 Lord comes, who will establish this church, vers. 
 
 14-16 ; that truth and good will not be wanting 
 
 then, vers. 17-18; that the spiritual [then] will 
 
 agree with the natural, vers. 19-21; that truths 
 
 then will be there in the greatest abundance, ver. 
 
 22; that unless there shall be an agreement 
 
 between spiritual and natural truth and good, 
 
 there will be no church, vers. 23-26. 
 
 Chap. XXXIV. That the Jewish church will 
 be destroyed, but that nevertheless its truths will 
 be preserved, vers. 1-7 ; that those who were of 
 the church had been free, vers. 8-1 1; but that 
 they became the servants of themselves, vers. 
 12-16; that they will become servants to 
 falsities, because they have departed from the 
 conjunction with the Lord, vers. 17-19; and 
 because the profanation of the truth is there, 
 ver. 20, that therefore they will die the death of 
 profaners, vers. 21, 22. 
 
 Chap. XXXV. Those who are of the 
 celestial church of the Lord are represented by 
 the sons of Jonadab, in that they did not drink 
 wine, nor build a house, nor sow seed and plant 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 51 
 
 vineyards ; whereby is signified learning truths 
 and retaining them in the memory, which is 
 characteristic of the spiritual church ; but that 
 they dwelled in tents, whereby is signified recep- 
 tion in the life and obedience, vers, i-io ; hence 
 the celestial church was with them, ver. 1 1 ; that 
 the Jewish church neither receives nor obeys, 
 although they are taught continually, vers. 
 12-16; wherefore they will perish, ver. 17; but 
 those who obey will be in the celestial church, 
 vers. 18, 19. 
 
 Chap. XXXVI. That the destruction of the 
 church and of the Jewish nation is foretold, and 
 it was urged upon them to repent, vers, i-io; 
 that they knew the truth, vers. 11-16, ofwhat 
 had been foretold by the Lord, vers. 17, 18; 
 that they rejected it by profaning it, vers. 19-24; 
 in like manner the Word, vers. 25, 26; that the 
 Divine Truth will not perish, vers. 27, 28, 32 ; 
 because they hardened themselves against this, 
 that therefore the destruction of the church and 
 of the kingdom is at hand, vers. 29-31. 
 
 Chap. XXXVIL That the rest in the deso- 
 lated church profaned the holy truths of the 
 church through reasonings from scientifics. 
 That the rest also did not live according to the 
 truths of the doctrine out of the Word, vers. 
 1,2; that they had respect to doctrinals, vers. 
 3, 4 ; that they consulted scientifics, ver. 5 ; it 
 was foretold that they will perish through 
 reasonings from scientifics, vers. 6-10; that 
 doctrine was thus rejected and falsified, vers. 
 11-16; that truths were perverted, and with the 
 truths goods, even to their utter failure, vers. 
 17-21. 
 
52 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 CllAP. XXXVIII. That those who have not 
 yet been vastated, shall be vastated, vers. 1-3 ; 
 that they hardened themselves still more by 
 perverting the doctrine from the Word, and 
 defiling it, ver. 4-6 ; that the rest which had 
 not yet been wholly falsified, had nevertheless 
 been besprinkled with falsities, vers. 7-13 ; that 
 if they should pervert this still more, they 
 would perish, vers. 14-18; otherwise not, [that 
 is], if the remaining truths should not be 
 thus perverted, vers. 19-21 ; it was foreseen 
 that all things belonging to the church would 
 be perverted, vers. 22-23 5 that this would 
 remain hidden from them, vers. 24-28. 
 
 Chap. XXXIX. That the rest of the doctrine 
 would perish through reasonings from falsities, 
 vers. 1-3 ; that it was wholly falsified, inso- 
 much that no truth remained in it, vers. 4-8 ; 
 that the simple understanding of the Word was 
 not yet desolated, vers. 9, 10 ; because it had 
 not been in reasonings from falsities, but only 
 in the externals of doctrine, vers. 11-14; that 
 the rest of the doctrine w^ould be falsified, but 
 not yet, vers. 15-18. 
 
 Chap. XL. That the simple understanding 
 of the Word according to doctrine would still 
 remain, vers. 1-6 ; that besides this simple 
 understanding, reasonings from falsities were 
 also tolerated, with which it was mixed, vers. 
 7-12 ; that these reasonings began to be tainted 
 with the falsities of faith, vers. 13-16. 
 
 Chap. XLI. Concerning the further falsifica- 
 tion of truth, vers. 1-3 ; and the abolition of 
 the worship flowing thence, vers. 4-7 ; except 
 a small portion, ver. 8 ; through the falsities of 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 53 
 
 faith, ver. 9 ; and through the falsification of the 
 truth, ver. 10; but there are still some remains 
 left, vers. 11-15 ; some of these were perverted 
 through the scientifics of the natural man, vers. 
 
 16-18. 
 
 Chap. XLII. That the remains or residue 
 consulted doctrine, vers. 1-6, but were told that 
 if they would remain in simplicity in their 
 external worship, and not consult the scientifics 
 of the natural man, they should be saved ; but 
 if they did consult them, all the truth and good 
 of worship would perish, vers. 7-22. 
 
 Chap. XLIII. Yet they did not do so, vers. 
 1-4 ; they consulted the scientifics of the 
 natural man, vers. 5-7 ; that therefore they 
 will perish through reasonings therefrom ; and 
 the scientifics themselves will be perverted by 
 being applied to falsities, vers. 8-13. 
 
 Chap. XLIV. That the church has in a 
 great measure perished by turning aside from 
 the Lord, and through falsities of every kind, 
 vers. 1-6; that almost all the residue perish 
 now through the scientifics of the natural man, 
 and that they do not desist from fear of destruc- 
 tion, vers. 7-10 ; because they consult those 
 scientifics, and therefore scarcely any residue 
 is left, vers. 11-14; that they hardened them- 
 selves, and loved the things that had been 
 falsified through those scientifics, vers. 15-19; 
 the destruction thence, which has been foretold, 
 vers. 20-23 ; insomuch that nothing of the 
 church was left, vers. 24-27; except a few 
 things, ver. 28 ; that scientific truths would be 
 perverted through reasonings therefrom, vers. 
 
 29> 30.

 CllAP. XLV. A prediction that the whole 
 church will be destroyed, vers. 1-5. 
 
 Chap. XLV I. That the man's natural will 
 perish through reasonings from scientifics. 
 That all those scientifics are no longer of any 
 avail, because they have been corrupted through 
 reasonings, vers. 1-6 ; that their pride in these 
 scientifics will be humbled, and these scientifics 
 will become falsities, vers. 7-10; that they 
 cannot be healed, because the church has been 
 corrupted through these falsities, vers. 11, 12; 
 that the whole natural perishes, and that there 
 is nothing therein except what is false and 
 evil, vers. 13-19 ; and all the erudition of the 
 natural, whereby falsities are confirmed, will 
 perish, vers. 20-24; the same will take place 
 with others who trust in scientifics, vers. 25, 26 ; 
 but it is otherwise with those who are in 
 spiritual captivity, of whom the church will be 
 formed, vers. 27, 28. 
 
 Chap. XLVII. That all who are in faith 
 alone, so called, lapse into mere falsities, even 
 until they have no knowledges of truth and 
 good ; and that in the day of judgment they 
 will perish, vers. 1-7. 
 
 Chap. XLVII I. Concerning those who 
 adulterate the goods of the Word and of the 
 church, who are Moab. The ruin of all things, 
 with those who adulterate the goods of the 
 church and of the Word, vers. 1-5 ; and that 
 thereby all truths are corrupted, vers. 6-9 ; 
 that for a long while the desolation was not 
 accomplished, wherefore the evil grew worse, 
 vers. 10, II ; that nevertheless they will perish 
 with their falsities, vers. 12-16; that with them 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 55 
 
 
 there will be a desolation of all things of the

 structed, vers. 18-20; that they in like manner 
 condemned all things of the church, vers. 21-24 5

 Jerusalem in like manner has falsified truths, 
 vers. 11-13; and that she has moreover adul-

 stroy the affections of truth, vers. 5, 6 ; that the 
 numerous reasonings from the natural man will 
 destroy all truths, and give birth to self-intelli-

 possession of the knowledges of truth and good

 hell, vers. 35-36. 
 
 Chap. XXVIII. Inasmuch as those who from 
 knowledges alone imagine themselves learned, 
 say in their heart that by themselves they are 
 most intelligent, vers. 1-5, that therefore they 
 will falsify all the knowledges of truth ; whereby 
 they will perish, vers. 6-10 ; concerning learning 
 from the Word, ver. 1 1 ; that from the Word 
 they had all the truths and goods of heaven and 
 the church, ver. 12; that thence they were at

 gence was dissipated by conceit, vers. 12-18

 church, whence came their perdition, vers. 19,

 Chap. XXIX. Concerning the natural man, 
 who will trust solely to his scientifics in things 
 Divine, vers. 1-3 ; that such men, by an applica- 
 tion of their scientifics to falsities, will pervert 
 the truths of the church, vers. 4, 5 ; since truths 
 are thus perverted, all power inherent in truth, 
 is destroyed with these men, vers. 6, 7 ; and that 
 every truth will be utterly laid waste, until they no 
 longershallhaveany truth,vers.8-i2 ; that never- 
 theless something of the church will be established

 scientifics, vers. 13-16; that reasonings out of 
 the scientifics of the natural man will not destroy 
 with them the knowledges of the truth, vers. 17,

 have perverted the truths of the church, vers. 
 19, 20 ; that the truths of doctrine shall be with

 in them will then perish through evil loves, vers. 
 6-9 ; that these men will destroy the truths of 
 the church through reasonings originating in 
 the natural man, and in falsities, until these 
 truths shall be nothing else but falsities, vers. 
 10-12; that all things which belong to the 
 science of the natural man, out of every depart- 
 
 ment, shall become hell, vers. 13-19 ; that these 
 men will have nothing of the truth, consequently 
 no power whatever, vers. 20-23 ; that this will 
 take place through reasonings originating in the 
 natural man, vers. 24-26. 
 
 Chap. XXXL Concerning the natural man 
 v/ho is in scientifics, vers, i, 2 ; that in the 
 Ancient Church the rational [mind] flourished 
 from scientifics of every kind, in so far as the 
 Divine things of the church were confirmed 
 thereby, whence they had spiritual intelligence, 
 vers. 3-9 ; that the conceit of self-intelligence, 
 whence arises the confidence in human learning, 
 altogether hurled down that church from intelli- 
 gence, and deprived them of all the truths of the 
 church, vers. 10-13 ; that lest they should cause 
 further corruption, they were cast into hell, ver. 
 14 ; that they are shut up there, lest by persist- 
 ing in their falsifications they should scatter 
 their falsities further around, vers. 15-18. 
 
 Chap. XXXIL A lamentation over those 
 who through the sciences have perverted the 
 holy things of the church. That they pervert 
 all the truths of the church, vers. 1,2; that they

 should further corrupt truths among those who 
 are in the affection of the truth, vers. 13-16; 
 that in hell they will be together with those who 
 have profaned the holy things of the Word, vers. 
 
78 
 
 EZEKIEL. 
 
 17-23 ; also with those who have falsified the 
 truths of doctrine, vers. 24, 25 ; and with those 
 who have falsified the literal sense of the Word, 
 vers. 26-30 ; that all these things shall be with 
 those who through sciences have perverted the 
 holy things of the church ; that thus they shall 
 be separated from those who are of the church, 
 lest they should persecute these, vers. 31, 32. 
 
 Chap. XXXIII. Concerning those who teach 
 and those who are taucrht. Those who are 
 instructed by a religious teacher about falsities, 
 and do not take warning, perish, vers. 1-5 ; if 
 the religious teacher docs not inform them 
 concerning falsities when he sees them, he 
 perishes, vers. 6, 7 ; the same is the case with 
 every one who teaches doctrine, if he teaches 
 and his teaching is not heeded, or if he does not 
 teach, vers. 8, 9 ; in this wise they will now be 
 taught in the church, so that they may turn 
 themselves, because the Lord desires the salva- 
 tion of all, vers. 10, 11 ; if the wicked become 
 good, then his evil is forgiven ; but if the good 
 become wicked, then his good is not regarded, 
 vers. 12-16 ; that these things are Divine justice, 
 vers. 17-20; that the perverted church declares 
 that they are the church, because the Word is 
 among them, when nevertheless they falsify it, 
 worship another God, and do evil, vers. 21-26; 
 and when nevertheless they shall perish from 
 falsities of evil, vers. 27-29 ; although they hear 
 the Word, and are in the exercise of external 
 worship, vers. 30-33. 
 
 Chap. XXXIV. Concerning teachers who 
 have respect only to their own good, and not to 
 the good of the church, vers. 1-4 ; which is the * 
 
 EZEKIEL. 
 
 79 
 
 reason why those who are of the church lead a 
 bad life, vers. 5, 6; that since they are such, 
 everything of the church will be taken away 
 from them, vers. 7-10; that w^hen the Lord 
 comes into the world He will gather together 
 the church, and teach it Divine truths, vers. 
 11-16; that He will separate from among its 
 members those who are evil, vers. 16, 17 ; that 
 the bad pastors destroy everything of the church, 
 vers. 18-20; and corrupt the simple, ver. 21 ; 
 that when the Lord comes He will teach and 
 save these, vers. 22-25; that He will not only 
 teach them, but also protect them from falsi- 
 ties ; and that they will acknowledge Him, vers. 
 
 26-31. 
 
 Chap. XXXV. Concerning the falsities of 
 
 faith. That among them every truth of faith 
 
 perishes through falsities, vers. 1-5 ; that thereby 
 
 the Word is falsified, even until nothing remains

 the church is with them, ver. 10; that they 
 
 speak against the church and against the Lord, 
 
 vers. 11-13; that when the church will take its 
 
 rise they shall be laid waste as to everything 
 
 pertaining to the Word, vers. 14, 15. 
 
 Chap. XXXVI. Concerning the perverted 
 
 church in general. That it has been destroyed 
 
 by evils and falsities, vers, i, 2; because it has 
 
 been corrupted even to its ultimate things ; that 
 
 those who are corrupted will perish, vers. 3-7 ; 
 
 that a new church will be established by the Lord, 
 
 which will be in truths and goods, vers. 8-12; 
 
 that the evils and falsities of the perverted church 
 
 will no longer do her any harm, vers. 13-15; that 
 
 that perverted church will utterly perish, vers. 
 
8o 
 
 EZEKIEL. 
 
 EZEKIEL. 
 
 8r 
 
 16-19 ; that nevertheless it will still be tolerated 
 for the sake of the Word, and because the Lord 
 thereby is made known, vers. 20-23 ; that then 
 a new church will be established, which being 
 delivered from falsities and evils, will be in 
 truths and <Toods, and will acknowledge the Lord, 
 vers. 24-30 ; that it will reject evils, vers. 31, 32 ; 
 that its intelligence through Divine truths will 
 increase by degrees, vers. 33-36 ; that the Lord 
 will be acknowledged in it, and He Himself will 
 be worshipped, vers. 37, 38. 
 
 Chap. XXXVH. A representation that the 
 church is without any life from good and truth, 
 vers. 1,2; it was foretold that a new church will 
 arise, in which there will be life, vers. 3-6 ; which 
 also came to pass, when that church was first 
 instructed in truths, and thus was fitted for re- 
 ception, vers. 7, 8 ; and that afterwards it would 
 receive life, vers. 9, lO ; that this was effected by 
 the Lord when He came into the world, from 
 which time dates the establishment of a new 
 church, vers. 11-14; that there would be two 
 churches, the celestial and the spiritual, and both 
 together would be one, vers. 1 5-20 ; that [the 
 church] will be under the Lord, and that by the 
 Lord both will become one, and that they will 
 be under protection against infernal evils and 
 falsities, vers. 21-25 ; that there will be another 
 church, because the conjunction will be another, 
 vers. 26-28. 
 
 Chap. XXXVH I. Concerning those who are 
 solely in the literal sense of the Word, and thence 
 in worship which is external apart from internal, 
 who are Gog, vers. 1,2; that each and all things 
 of that worship will perish, vers. 3-7 ; that that 
 
 I' 
 
 i 
 
 worship will overspread the church, and lay it 
 waste, which will thus be in externals apart from 
 internals, vers. 8-16 ; that the state of the church 
 on that account is changed, vers. 17-19; that 
 hence the truths and goods of religion will perish, 
 and falsities will take their place, vers. 20-23.

 the literal sense and in external worship, will 
 come into the church ; who are Gog, but that 
 they will perish, vers. 1-6 ; that this will take

 DANIEL. 
 
 Chap. I. After the church among the Jewish 
 nation had been destroyed, Babel appropriated 
 to itself all things of that church, vers. 1,2; that 
 it was desirous of knowing all things of the 
 church, and of procuring to itself an understand- 
 ing thereof, which was the beginning of Babel, 
 vers. 3-21. 
 
 Chap. II. A prediction as to the future quality 
 of Babel, vers. 1-2 ; that those who were one 
 with Babel did not know this, vers. 3-1 1 ; that 
 they were blinded, vers. 12, 13 ; but that by a 
 revelation from the Lord it was discovered to 
 those who were of the church, vers. 14-30 ; the 
 progress of the religious persuasion of the Baby- 
 lonians now follows : that its rulers at first learned 
 and taught the goods and truths of heaven and 
 the church, and that afterwards they departed 
 thence, so that in the end nothing remained 
 except what had been adulterated, thus only the 
 false and evil ; and that then the Lord would 
 come, vers. 31-35 ; that the Word will at first be 
 taught there according to the truths of doctrine 
 derived thence, vers. 36-38 ; that the church 
 afterwards will become powerful, not from 
 spiritual, but from natural good, ver. 39 ; that all 
 the good and truth through adulterations will at 
 last be changed into evil and falsity, displaying 
 
84 
 
 DANIEL. 
 
 strength only through some diaboHcal civil power, 
 vers. 40-43 ; theit then the Lord will come, and 
 destroy this religious organization, and that He 
 will establish a church, which will be in Divine 
 truth from Him, vers. 44, 45 ; that the beginning 
 of Babel was, when it worshipped the God of 
 heaven, and esteemed highly the doctrine derived 
 from the Word, vers. 46-49. 
 
 CllAP. HI. That Babel was revolving in her 
 mind to give up the worship of the Lord for the 
 worship of another god, which is the golden 
 image set up by Nebuchadnezzar, vers. 1,2; 
 that all who were of this description assented, 
 threatening all who disagreed, that they should 
 be cast into hell, vers. 3-7 ; that those rulers who 
 worshipped the Lord did not obey, vers. 8-1 1; 
 wherefore Babel excommunicated and con- 
 demned them to hell, together with all the 
 things of the Lord's church, vers. 13-21 ; but that 
 notwithstanding this they sustained no harm, 
 and it appeared manifestly that they were pro- 
 tected by the Lord, vers. 22-25 ; that Babel 
 thereby was constrained to acknowledge and 
 worship the Lord, vers. 26-33.

 quality of Babel, and whither they were carried 
 by their purposes. That this remained unknown 
 to those signified by Babel, vers. 1-4 ; that it 
 v/as known to those who were of the Lord's

 church, vers. 5,6; that when the above religion 
 would fill a great portion of the earth, they 
 purposed to rule over heaven and the church, 
 vers. 7-9 ; that then they would no longer have 
 any goods and truths of heaven and the church, 
 vers. 10, II ; that nevertheless the Word would 
 remain with them, although perverted, vers. 
 12-14 ; that those who are of the Lord's church 
 would then perceive of what quality those [in 
 Babel] were inwardly, and whither they intended 
 to push their dominion, vers. 15, 16; that with 
 respect to the goods and truths of the church 
 they were so stupid as to be no longer men ; and 
 that this was confirmed from heaven, where such 
 beings appeared, vers. 17-30; that as yet they 
 were afraid to extend their dominion over heaven 
 and the church, and that in the presence of those 
 by whom they were obeyed, they acknowledged 
 the Lord, vers. 31-34. 
 
 CllAP. V. That Babel would profane all things 
 of heaven and the church, vers. 1-4 ; that it was 
 perceived from the Word that this was profana- 
 tion, vers. 5, 6 ; but that it was not perceived by 
 the leaders who are in that religious persuasion, 
 vers. 7-9 ; that by those who are in the truths 
 of the church, it was confirmed that exalting one's 
 self above the Lord was against the Word, and 
 that holy things were thus profaned, vers. 10-24; 
 that there would be an end to this religious 
 persuasion, because there was no longer any 
 good and truth of the church, vers. 25-28 ; that 
 thus everything of the church had there come to 
 an end, vers. 29, 30.

 luork, vers. 2 and 29 of Chap. VI. ansztcr to 
 vers. I and 28 in the English Bible]

 considered, even as in the church, vers. 1-4 ; that 
 a consultation was held, and it was resolved, that 
 they themselves were to be worshipped instead 
 of the Lord, vers. 5-10; when this decree was 
 opposed by those who belong to the Lord's 
 church, it was enacted that they should undergo 
 the punishment [pronounced] by the inquisition, 
 which is the lion's den, into which Daniel was 
 cast, vers. 11-18; nevertheless they were pro- 
 tected by the Lord, so that they did not undergo 
 that punishment, vers. 19-24 ; but that on the 
 contrary those who had contrived this enormity 
 were cast into hell, ver. 25 ; and those who con- 
 tinued in the worship of the Lord were saved, 
 vers. 26-29. 
 
 Chap. VII. A revelation concerning the 
 successive changes in the state of the church, 
 vers. 1-3 ; the first state, while they enjoyed 
 the understanding of the truth, ver. 4 ; the second, 
 when they applied themselves solely to the study 
 of the literal sense of the Word, ver. 5 ; the third, 
 when the literal sense of the Word was falsified, 
 and falsity was made to appear as truth, ver. 6 ; 
 the fourth, when faith alone, which destroyed all 
 things of the church (ver. 7), was confirmed by 
 the literal sense of the Word, ver. 8 ; that they 
 were judged from the Word, vers. 9, 10 ; and that 
 this faith [alone] was totally destroyed, ver. 1 1 ; 
 and the former were judged according to their 
 life, ver. 12 ; and the church became the Lord's, 
 vers. 13, 14; a further explanation of these things, 
 
 DANIEL. 
 
 87 
 
 vers. 15,16; that the four successive states of the 
 church are understood, vers. 17, 18; that the 
 last state is faith alone confirmed by reasonings, 
 and by the Word falsified, whereby they acquired 
 superiority, vers. 19-21 ; and indeed until the 
 Lord shall institute the church, ver. 22 ; which 
 faith alone had destroyed, vers. 23, 24 ; that this 
 faith also held the Lord Himself in low esteem, 
 ver. 25 ; lastly, that those who are in faith alone 
 will be' judged, and that a new church will be 
 established by the Lord, vers. 26, 27 ; thus comes 
 the end, ver. 28. 
 
 Chap. VIII. A prediction concerning the 
 church in respect to charity and faith. Con- 
 cerning the church which is in faith and charity, 
 and concerning its power, vers. 1-3 ; that it has 
 increased in truths and goods, ver. 4 ; that faith 
 alone utterly destroyed charity, ver. 5 ; that it 
 prevailed by means of reasonings, whereby it 
 dissipated the truths of the doctrine derived 
 from the Word, vers. 6-10 ; that it destroyed the 
 worship of the Lord together with the Divine 
 truths, vers. 11, 12; that this happened even to 
 the Lord's advent, vers. 13, 14; it was further 
 explained, that this will take place when the 
 Lord shall come, vers. iS-19; that faith alone 
 will corrupt the church and hold the Lord in low 
 esteem, vers. 20-25 ; that this will be the end of the 
 church, ver. 26 ; that it will be a sad time, ver. 27.

 order to reveal the things which will happen in 
 the New Church to those who are in faith alone, 
 and to those who are in truths from good, who 
 are Michael in that church, vers. 7-21. 
 
 Chap. XL By the king of the South is under- 
 stood here the church which is in the truths of 
 faith from the good of charity, and by the king 
 of the North is understood that religious body 
 which is in faith separate from charity ; how the 
 changes succeeded one another, did not appear 
 in the world, but in heaven ; that the church 
 among the Jewish nation will be destroyed, 
 vers. 1-4; that a new church will then be 
 established, which will be in faith from charity, 
 ver. 5 ; that charity will be conjoined to faith, 
 but faith will predominate, ver. 6 ; that neverthe- 
 less with some charity will predominate, and 
 hence it will be the first [essential] of the church, 
 vers. 7-9 ; that their posterity will contend for 
 faith, and prove victorious, vers, ia-12 ; that 
 faith will grow strong against charity and the 
 faith derived from it, and will overcome it, vers. 
 13-16; that this will be followed by the tenet, 
 that charity springs from faith, ver. 17 ; contro- 
 
 DANIEL.

 Word on this point, vers. 18-20; that they will 
 form a pseudo-tenet of charity, whence there is 
 an appearance of conjunction, vers. 21-23 ; that 
 the confirmations from the Word in favour of 
 charity are falsely explained, and that they have 
 destroyed the faith flowing from charity, vers. 
 24-26 ; a fraudulent conjunction, vers. 2^], 28 ; 
 that faith has broken the fraudulent conjunction, 
 has adulterated the very Word, and thus has 
 destroyed the church, vers. 29-31 ; that many 
 objected, but nevertheless were overruled, vers. 
 32-35 ; that at length faith alone has prevailed, 
 a [system of] religion which destroys all fear of 
 God and the whole church, vers. 36, 2^7 \ that it 
 will worship a God different from the Lord, vers. 
 S^j 39 ; that faith flowing from charity has thus 
 been subjugated, vers. 40, 41 ; that nevertheless 
 there will remain [some] who believe the Word 
 in simplicity, ver. 41 ; that faith alone will also 
 carry on destruction through reasonings arising 
 from the natural man, vers. 42, 43 ; that when 
 the end comes, those who are sensual natural 
 will eagerly press forward, vers. 44, 45.

 the Word, that therefore they can no longer

 // zs to be observed^ tJiat^ since by David is tmder-

 [ The reader is requested to observe, that, thro74gh- 
 out the Psalms, wherever there appears to be a 
 greater nmnber of verses referred to in this work 
 than is to be found in the corresponding Psalm 
 in the English Bible, the title of the Psalm is 
 considered by the author as one verse, and in 
 some cases, viz., in Psalms LI., LIL, LIV., 
 LX., as tiw verses. In other cases, where the 
 title does not make a distinct verse, it is con- 
 sidered as a part of the first verse. In all cases, 
 the title is an essential part of tJie Word, con- 
 taining an internal sense equally with the rest: as 
 may plainly appear from this circumstance, that 
 the title to Psalm XVI IL constitutes the first 
 verse of Chap. XXII. /// the seco7id book of 
 Samuel. In some Latin Bibles, also, as in those 
 of Castellio, Schmidius, Tremcllius and funius, 
 the titles of the Psalms are numbered as in this 
 work ; but not in our English Bibles, some of 
 which even omit the titles altogether.]

 THE HISTORICAL PARTS OF THE 
 
 WORD. 
 
 The historical parts of the Word, just as its 
 prophetical parts, contain within themselves a 
 spiritual sense, in which there are no historical 
 matters relative to the world, as in the literal 
 sense, but heavenly things relating to the 
 church, and in the highest sense to the Lord, 
 altogether like the prophetical parts. The 
 historical matters therein are representative, 
 and all the meanings together with the ex- 
 pressions are correspondences. 
 
 It is to be noted, that all churches until the 
 Lord's advent were representative churches; 
 they represented the church, and in the highest 
 sense the Lord ; hence the Word is spiritual, 
 and Divine. But the representative churches 
 ceased when the Lord came into the world, 
 because all things of the Word, the prophetical 
 as well as the historical, signified and repre- 
 sented Him : hence it is that the Lord is called 
 
 the Word. 
 
 There have been three remarkable changes 
 among the representative churches : the first of 
 these churches, which was before the flood, is to 
 be called the Most Ancient Church ; the second, 
 which was after the flood, the Ancient Church ; 
 
 167 
 
158 THE HISTORICAL PARTS OF THE WORD. 
 
 and the third, which succeeded the Ancient 
 Church, the Israelitish and Jewish Church. 
 
 The Most Ancient Church is briefly described 
 by Adam and his posterity; the Ancient 
 Church, by Noah and his posterity ; and the 
 IsraeUtish and Jewdsh Church, by the historical 
 parts of the Word. , 
 
 The former churches were described in hke 
 manner, but by interior correspondences, in a 
 Word mentioned by Moses ; but this Word has 
 passed away, and in its place the Word which 
 we now have was given. 
 
 The church which succeeded those three is the 
 Christian Church, which is an internal church, 
 differing from the Jewish church as a moonlight 
 night from a dark one. But inasmuch as this 
 church, by the accomplishment of a last judg- 
 ment, has come to its end, a new church, which 
 is called the New Jerusalem in the Revela- 
 tion, is now being instituted by the Lord ; to this 
 church those things which 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 briefly involve 
 
 what follows : 
 
 GENESIS. 
 
 Cll\P I In the spiritual sense there is de- 
 scribed here the new creation or the regeneration 
 of the men of the Most Ancient Church : the 
 process of their regeneration from first to last 
 thino-s is herein contained in its order. ^ 
 
 C?I\P II. The intelligence and wisdom ot 
 those ^ men, while they were regenerate, is de- 
 scribed ; for that church was a celestial church, 
 the foremost of all churches on this earth 
 
 Ch\P III. The fall and end of that church ; 
 that tiiey sank down from the celestial man to 
 the natural; wherefore they had intelligence 
 from self, instead of intelligence from the Lord^ 
 Chap IV The division of that church, which 
 existed between those [on the one hand] who 
 placed the whole of the church and thence of 
 salvation in doctrine alone and in the science of 
 knowledges, who are Cain, and between those 
 [on the other] who were at the same time in the 
 life of love and charity, who are Abel ; and 
 abstractedly, [the meaning is] that the mere 
 science of doctrinals, just like faith alone, when 
 the whole of religion is placed therein kills 
 charity; but that those were rejected who 
 made the church consist^ in doctrine alone, and 
 not at the same time in life. 
 
 159 
 
i6o 
 
 GENESIS. 
 
 Chap. V. The divisions and changes of that 
 church are described, which are signified by the 
 posterity of Adam from Seth. 
 
 Chap. VI. The end of that church, when 
 there was no longer any truth and good, be- 
 cause they were in self-intcUigence, vers. i-6, 
 10-12; and the commencement of a new 
 church, which is understood by Noah and his 
 three sons. 
 
 Chap. VII. The destruction of the Most 
 Ancient Church is described by the flood ; and 
 the beginning of a new church by the ark and 
 its preservation. 
 
 Chap. VIII. The end of the Most Ancient 
 Church, and the commencement of the Ancient 
 Church. 
 
 Chap. IX. The precepts and statutes for 
 that church, vers. 1-17 ; that church is Noah, 
 its celestial is Shem, its spiritual Japhet, and its 
 natural Ham, vers. 18-29. 
 
 Chap. X. Since that church was spread over 
 a great part of Asia, and there arose divisions 
 thence, therefore these divisions are described 
 by the posterity derived from Noah, that is, 
 from his three sons. 
 
 Chap. XI. Concerning the beginning of Babel, 
 and its destruction, vers. 1-9; continuation con- 
 cerning the various states of that church, and the 
 quality of its members, even to the end, when it 
 became idolatrous and magical. 
 
 Chap. XII. The institution of the Israelitish 
 and Jewish Church, which commenced from Eber, 
 whence it was called the Hebrew Church, and 
 its first institution from [the time of] Abram, who 
 was commanded to go into the land of Canaan ; 
 
 GENESIS. 
 
 161 
 
 because all the places therein, together with the 
 surrounding parts, had received spiritual signifi- 
 cations from the men of the Most Ancient 
 Church, which were to be discussed in the new 
 Word, that was to be written among them, 
 and in which Word those places were to be 
 mentioned, vers. 1-8 ; its first instruction, which 
 is that of the natural man by sciences, which 
 are Egypt, where Abram was. 
 
 Chap. XIII. An increase in knowledges of 
 the church, and the separation of spiritual 
 knowledges, which are Abram, from the natural 
 knowledges, which are Lot. 
 
 Chap. XIV. A conflict in the natural man, 
 between the truths and goods, and the evils and 
 falsities there; and when the victory inclined 
 to the side of the wicked, that is, of hell, the 
 spiritual man contended with them, and struck 
 them down, vers. 1-17; hence the natural man 
 became spiritual-natural, and removed from 
 himself the evils and falsities of the natural 
 man, vers. 18-24. 
 
 Chap. XV. Since hitherto there had been 
 only a multiplication of the truth, but not a 
 fructification of good, and thus no church, 
 therefore he insisted that a church should have 
 its rise with him, vers. 1-6 ; it was foretold, how- 
 ever, what the quality of this church and its 
 conjunction with the Lord would be; namely, 
 that it would be perverted, vers. 7-21. 
 
 Chap. XVI. The conjunction of the truth 
 and good of the natural man, from which only 
 the external church, which is rational, has an 
 existence. 
 
l62 
 
 GENESIS. 
 
 
 But these subjects are treated of in the Arcana 
 Ccclestia, where by the things which have re- 
 ference to the church are signified those which 
 have reference to the Lord ; for all things of 
 the Word, in the spiritual sense, treat concern- 
 ing the church and heaven, but in the celestial 
 sense concerning the Lord.
