204. Internal Meaning of Amos, Chapter 4

1-3 Those who pervert the doctrine of the church: they will also fall into falsities in outermost things. (2)

4-6 They worship in externals according to the statutes, which will be similar [to genuine worship], but only in outermost things. (2)

7-8 Some things true will remain, when the rest are false, in consequence of which truths will have no power. (2)

9 Afterward all things of the church are falsified, (3, 11)

10-11 and finally they are profaned by sensual knowledges [scientifica], the profanation extending to all things of the church, so that there is hardly anything left. (3)

12-13 Exhortation to turn themselves to the Lord. (3)
