Verse 11. And the Lord shall bring you to a full state of spiritual goods—of spiritual births in your regenerate will; in the fruits of all holy affections within you, and of the truths sown in your heart in that state of heavenly life, to endure for ever, with which you shall be gifted, according to the Lord's promise in the Word to those who will receive genuine good from the Divine Love and Wisdom. [Note.—It may be noted here, where a full regenerate state is treated of, that good is mentioned first and truth second; whereas in verses 3-4, treating of a prior state, truth comes first.]

1260. Since 'nations' in the Most Ancient Church and in the Ancient Church meant goods or good persons, therefore also in the contrary sense they mean evils or evil persons Similarly with 'peoples'; since these meant truths, therefore also in the contrary sense they mean falsities. For in a corrupted Church good is turned into evil, and truth into falsity, as a consequence of which the meaning of nations and peoples in that contrary sense occurs many times in the Word, as in Isaiah 13:4; 14:6; 18:2, 7; 30:28; 34:1-2; Ezekiel 20:13; and in many other places.
