134. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 11

Doctrine falsified. (2)

1-3 Beginning of the perversion of the church by means of falsities (the caldron here meaning doctrine, and the flesh the people) 2 (2)

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)
