131. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 8

Profanation of what is holy. (3)

1-2 The Lord is represented in respect to Divine love, (1)

3 and it is shown how the holy of the Word has been profaned, (3, 17)

5-6 namely, that they have separated themselves from the holy of the worship of the church. (3, 17)

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, 8)

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)
