The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 1
The Prophetical Books:
1. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 1 (1)
1-8 The church has been vastated by evil of life, (3)
9 so that there is little of a residue. (3)
10-15 Therefore their external worship is of no avail. (3)
16-19 Exhortation that they should repent of the evil of life, and thus they will receive good. (3)
20-23They falsify the Word. (3)
24-27 The Lord when He comes will destroy them, and will establish the church with others; (1, 11)
28-31 This when nothing of the church remains with them. (3)
Spoil of gold, silver, and cattle
'Spoil of gold, and silver, and cattle' signifies falsified truths.
