Explanation of Leviticus 23
Napsal(a) Henry MacLagan
On the successive states of the regenerate life in general, involving states of conflict against evil succeeded by states of rest.
The first subordinate state is one of deliverance from evil, involving the interior reception of truth conjoined with good, purification, and the arrangement of truths under good. Verses 4-8.
The second subordinate state is that of the implantation of truth in good. Verses 9-22.
Concerning revelation in consequence. Verses 23-25.
Also concerning the plenary removal of evil in consequence. Verses 26-32.
The third subordinate state is that of the implantation of good, involving gladness and joy of heart in all completeness and holiness, with states of peace and rest from the lowest principles to the highest, which are perpetually renewed. Verses 33-34.
Lamentations 2:4
4
He has bent his bow like an enemy, he has stood with his right hand as an adversary, Has killed all that were pleasant to the eye: In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
