The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #67
67. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 1. (1)
1-3 The perverted state of the church. (2)
4-8 Of the Lord, who is here meant by Jeremiah; He will be born, in order that He may teach all men Divine truth. (11)
9-10 From His Divine He will teach the truths and goods of the church, and will destroy falsities and evils. (11, 2)
11-12 Truths of every good have been given them through the Word; (2)
13 but they have perverted them; (2)
14-15 which is the source of all kinds of falsities that are contrary to the truths of the church, (2)
16 and from this arises a contrary worship. (2, 12)
17-19 The Lord will admit them to fight against Him, and they will succumb, because the Divine is the Lord's. (5, 7)
Jeremiah 1:14-15
14
Then Yahweh said to me, "Out of the north evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
15
For, behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north," says Yahweh; "and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
