Explanation of Leviticus 23
Door Henry MacLagan
On the successive states of the regenerate life in general, involving states of conflict against evil succeeded by states of rest.
The first subordinate state is one of deliverance from evil, involving the interior reception of truth conjoined with good, purification, and the arrangement of truths under good. Verses 4-8.
The second subordinate state is that of the implantation of truth in good. Verses 9-22.
Concerning revelation in consequence. Verses 23-25.
Also concerning the plenary removal of evil in consequence. Verses 26-32.
The third subordinate state is that of the implantation of good, involving gladness and joy of heart in all completeness and holiness, with states of peace and rest from the lowest principles to the highest, which are perpetually renewed. Verses 33-34.
Isaiah 2:2-3
2
It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
3
Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
