72. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 6

Those who have conjunction with the Lord in the lowest heaven; these are meant by the children of Benjamin. (2, 3)

1-2 The church among them is destroyed by falsities of evil. (2)

2-3 They no longer have truth and good, but falsity and evil, and these destroy them. (2, 3)

6-7 By means of these the church amongst them is destroyed. (2)

8-9 There are still some truths; let them beware lest they destroy them; (2)

10 but they hearken not. (3)

11 Therefore all things are being destroyed. (3)

12 Thus others are being received in their stead. (11)

13-14 Because everything there has been so perverted that there is no protection against falsity, (3)

15 which they do not acknowledge to be falsities, (3)

16-17 and they repudiate truths, (3)

18-19 therefore they will come to an end; (3)

20 hence they regard the works of their worship as of no value. (3)

21 Destruction comes upon them (3)

22-23 through falsities, from which they reason against the truths of the church. (3)

24-26 Those who are separated and grieve over them. (3)

27-30 The perverse are tested, and found incapable of restoration. (3)
