416. Internal Meaning of Genesis, Chapter 15

1-6 Since there was as yet only multiplication of truth, and not the fructification of good, and thus not the church, He was urgent that the church might exist with Him;

7-21 but it is foretold what the church and its conjunction with the Lord would be, namely, that it would be perverted.
