99. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 33

1-5 A new church. It will be established when the former church has been destroyed. (11, 17)

6-9 After its destruction those are to be brought near who are to be led out of falsities, (11)

10-11 who will worship the Lord from an affection for truth and good, (11, 16)

12-13 and who will be in truths of every kind after the former church has ceased to be. (11)

14-16 This will take place when the Lord comes, who will institute it. (1, 11, 3)

17-18 Then truth and good will not be wanting. (11)

19-21 The spiritual and that natural will be in agreement. (11)

22 Then there will be truths in all abundance. (11)

23-26 Unless spiritual and natural truth and good become concordant, there can be no church. (11)

Jeremiah 33:25-26

Study

      

25 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
