Study

       

2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will Give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will Give thee the worth of it in money.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 2. But the man of the Old Church, on this account, desires that the New Church may be considered as a part of his own, although an inferior part, regarding his own as of superior value for the salvation of souls, or at least, as equivalent to the New Church as to intellectual power and therefore as to spiritual truth.
