The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 67
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)
