153. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 30

1-5 The Coming of the Lord when all things of the church have been destroyed by knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man. (1, 3, 2)

6-9 Then all who trust in these knowledges will perish through evil loves. (3, 3)

10-12 By such the truths of the church will be destroyed through reasonings from the natural man, derived from falsities, even until there is nothing left but falsities. (3)

13-19 All things which are of the knowledge [scientia] of the natural man, of every sort, will become hell. (3, 15)

20-23 They will have no truth, thus no power. (3)

24-26 This will take place through reasonings from the natural man. (3)
