The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 116
116. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 50
Of those who have adulterated and falsified the goods and truths of the church, who are meant by Babylon and Chaldea. (3)
1-3 They will no longer have any good or truth. (3)
4-7 Then those who are in ignorance of good and truth, because of a lack of them, will be brought to the Lord. (11)
8 They will depart from Babylon. 11 (11)
11 because they have vastated the church. (3)
12-13 It is without any truth. (3, 4)
14-16 Their destruction at the time of judgment, (15)
17 because she has destroyed the church. (15, 3)
18-20 After Babylon has been destroyed, a new church will be established, which will be acceptable to the Lord. (3, 11)
21-24 Babylon will be destroyed because she is against the Lord. (3)
25-30 They are to be wholly destroyed, (3)
31-32 on account of the love of ruling, (3)
33-34 because they do not refrain from destroying the church which the Lord establishes and redeems. (3)
35-38 All things appertaining to them from firsts to lasts have been destroyed by means of falsities. (3)
Cut off, to be
In Daniel 9:26, this signifies that divine truth shall be taken from the people, but will live again in a new church. (Apocalypse Explained 315[23])
In Genesis 17:14, this signifies eternal death. (Arcana Coelestia 2058)
In Exodus 23:23, this signifies that hell is removed solely through the protection of heaven by the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 9316) To be cut off, as in Genesis 41:36, signifies to perish.
