The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 160
160. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 37
1-2 It is represented that the church was destitute of all life from good and truth. (3)
3-6 It is foretold that a new church will come into existence, in which will be life. (11)
7-8 This also came to pass when that church was first instructed in truths, and was thus made fit for receiving, (11, 2)
9-10 and it then received life. (11)
11-14 Thus the Lord did when He came into the world, and a new church was established by Him. (1, 11)
15-20 There were two churches, the celestial and the spiritual, and the two together were one. (11)
21-25 This will be under the Lord, and the two will become one church from the Lord, and will be protected from infernal evils and falsities. (11)
26-28 The church will be different because the conjunction will be different. (11, 1)
