The Coming of the Lord and the church at that time, and its quality. (1, 11, 8)

1-3 A church will come into existence which will acknowledge the Lord; the very truths of heaven will be in it, and more than before. (1, 11, 10)

4-5 They will not be separated from the Lord, as before, but conjoined with Him (11, 17)

6-7 This gospel will be preached even until it takes place (11, 17)

8-9 Then the truths of the Word will not be for those who falsity them, but for those who receive them (11, 17)

10 Preparation is being made, (1)

10-11 and announcement that the Lord will come, (1)

12 and that that church will be from Him. (11)
