210. Internal Meaning of Obadiah, Chapter 1
Of those who are in self-intelligence and pervert the sense of the letter of the word; these are Edom. (2)
1-3 They must be combated, because they believe themselves to be more intelligent than others. (2)
4-5 They defend falsities by natural light, but they will perish, and with them, the falsities themselves. (2)
8-9 They will perish on the day of judgment, because they have oppressed the church. (15, 3)
10-14 They destroy the church still further, and this is their delight. (3)
15-16 Destruction will come upon them on the day of judgment. (15)
17 A new church will come into existence (11)
18 in place of the former church, which is condemned. (11, 3)
19-21 The new church will be in the understanding of truth, and those that are in it will be saved. (11)
