202. Internal Meaning of Amos, Chapter 2

1-3 About those who adulterate the good of the sense of the letter of the Word: these destroy the good and truth of the church. (2, 17)

4-5 About those who destroy the celestial things of the Word: they destroy both its celestial and its spiritual things. (2)

6-8 About those who destroy the spiritual things of the church: these go away in consequence into falsities of every kind. (2)

9-11 The Lord entirely removed falsities of evil when the church was instituted among them, and they were instructed. (2)

12-16 Nevertheless that church perverted all things, and hence it has become like one who has truth and yet is without truth, and thus perishes in the 2 (2)

time of judgment. (15)
