27. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 27

1 There is no longer any truth or good in the natural man. (2)

2 Nevertheless the truth of the church must be guarded. (11, 6)

4-5 Every evil and falsity will be destroyed on the day of judgment. (15)

6 Afterwards there will be a new church 11 (11, 15)

7-8 with those in whom truths have not been completely lost. (11)

8-12 In time all true worship will perish, with all truth and good; they will perish on the day of judgment. (15)

12-13 Afterwards there will be a new church that will confess the Lord. (11)
