2 Kings 8:12

Studie

       

12 And Hazael saith, `Wherefore is my lord weeping?' and he saith, `Because I have known the evil that thou dost to the sons of Israel -- their fenced places thou dost send into fire, and their young men with sword thou dost slay, and their sucklings thou dost dash to pieces, and their pregnant women thou dost rip up.'

Verse 12. This, however, the wicked cannot understand. But Divine Truth testifies that the wicked are entirely opposed to the true spiritual church, and therefore ultimate truths, in them, are consumed by self-love, and ultimate goods by falsities; while all interior goods with innocence, are vastated, and all interior truths productive of good are entirely destroyed.
