215. Internal Meaning of Micah, Chapter 1 (1)

The church in respect to the doctrine of truth and good. (1)

1-2 The descent of the Lord from heaven, and His coming into the world. (1)

3 The state of heaven then became changed. (12)

4-7 Then all the representatives of the church, which had been totally falsified, will be destroyed. (3, 10)

8-12 Consequent mourning, and that it will extend even to those who were in celestial good. (3)

13-15 Hence even these will begin to be perverted. (3)

16 Consequently they also will suffer deprivation of all truth. (3)
