91. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 25

1-3 The Lord to those with whom the church has been instituted. (11, 2)

4-7 He taught them continually by the Word, that they should refrain from evils, and not go away to any other worship than that of the Lord; but they did not obey. (2, 11)

8-11 Therefore everything of the church among them will perish, and they will be in temptations from those who profane things holy. (2)

12 Retribution will afterwards visit the tempters. (2, 11, 3)

13-14 It will so come to pass. (2, 11)

15-27 Knowledges [cognitiones] of truth and good, and also truths of every kind and sort will perish. (3)

28-30 This cannot otherwise than come to pass, even with those who are in knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word. (3)

31-33 There is no longer any truth that has not been profaned. (3)

34-38 Lamentation by those who are in good, and in truths therefrom. (11)

161. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 38

1-2 Those who are in the mere sense of the letter of the Word, and in a worship therefrom which is external without an internal, are meant by Gog. (2)

3-7 Everything and all things of that worship will perish. (2)

8-16 That worship will possess the church, and will vastate it, and it will thus be in externals without internals. (2)

17-19 The state of the church will therefore be changed. (2, 7)

20-23 And the truths and goods of religion will perish in consequence, and falsities will succeed in their place. (2)
