The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 37
37. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 37
1-5 Of those who repented, and consulted truths of doctrine, (3)
6-7 and perceived that those who blasphemed the Lord will perish. (3, 2, 11)
8-13 They blasphemed still more violently, as [in the assertion] that He could be of no avail whatever against them. (3, 4)
14-20 Those who consulted doctrine from the Word repented, and prayed unto the Lord for help against the blasphemers, (3, 11)
21-27 and received answer in their heart, that those who blasphemed the Lord will perish; and this blasphemy is likewise treated of. (3, 15)
28-29 Therefore it will go no farther,, (3, 15)
30-32 because a new church will come into existence in its time; (11)
33-35 and therefore the old church will not be destroyed as yet; (2)
36-38 nevertheless, they are to be utterly destroyed. (2, 3)
