Ezekiel 11:1
1
And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.

4-7 by falsifications of the truth of doctrine. (2)
8-11 It will be even worse, and they will perish by reason of things falsified, (3)
12 because they will pervert all things. (3, 3)
13-16 All who are in falsities must be scattered; the church will consist of few. (3, 11)
17-20 A new church will be instituted by the Lord, which will be in truths from Him, (11)
21 at the time when the former church is being destroyed. (3)
22-23 The Word will enlighten the new church. (11)
24-25 This is made manifest to those who are in spiritual captivity. (11)
