Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
Daniel 4:7
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 152
152. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 29
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, 1)
6-7 Because truths have been perverted in this manner, all power, which is of truth, has been destroyed in their case, (3, 16)
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, 11)
