6944. 'And behold, they will not believe me, and will not hear my voice' means that those who belonged to the spiritual Church would not be in possession of faith and so would be unreceptive. This is clear from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom these words refer, as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637; from the meaning of 'not believing' as not being in possession of faith; and from the meaning of 'not hearing the voice' as being unreceptive, dealt within 5471, 5475.
