22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

67. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 1. (1)

1-3 The perverted state of the church. (2)

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, 12)

17-19 The Lord will admit them to fight against Him, and they will succumb, because the Divine is the Lord's. (5, 7)
