90. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 24

1-3 After the whole church had adulterated and profaned the Word, it was represented that part of them were of such a character that they could be reformed, but part could not; these are meant by the two baskets of figs, in one of which were good ones, and in the other bad ones., (2, 11, 1)

4-7 Those who could be reformed, were those who had been completely vastated, so that they did not know what is true and what is good; these can at last be taught, can acknowledge the Lord, can be received, and can become a church. (2, 11)

8-9 But those who could not be reformed, were those who desired still to be in worship from the Word, which worship they would then continually profane. (3)

9-10 With these, everything holy would be profaned, and they would perish. (3)
