The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 232
232. Internal Meaning of Haggai, Chapter 2
1-3 The church when first instituted was full of truths; at the present day it is devastated. (2)
4-5 Nevertheless a church will be instituted. (11, 1)
6-9 When the Lord comes into the world, this church will be an interior church. (1)
10-14 An external without an internal is of no use, and still less when the external has been falsified; so is it in the former church, (3)
15-17 where truth has been turned into falsity, in which there is hardly anything of the church, (3)
18-19 although there are truths in abundance in the Word.3 (3)
20-22 All things of the former church will be destroyed. (3)
