126. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 3
1-3 He should be instructed in the Word, which in itself is delightful. (2, 3)
4-7 He should teach those that have the Word, and consequently are able to live according to the Divine commandments, but they do not so live; while with others it would be otherwise. (2, 11)
8-9 He should not fear their obduracy, (2)
10-11 but should teach them. (2)
12-13 It is perceived that the state of the church has been changed entirely in respect to the Word and doctrine from the Word. (2)
14-15 He was indignant that it should be so. (2)
16-17 But that He might represent the Word, (2)
18-21 he would be guilty if He did not reveal their falsities and evils, and not guilty if He did reveal them. (2)
22-23 It is according to the sense of the letter, which He must explain (2, 16)
24-27 He must not speak from Himself, but from the Lord. (16)
161. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 38
1-2 Those who are in the mere sense of the letter of the Word, and in a worship therefrom which is external without an internal, are meant by Gog. (2)
3-7 Everything and all things of that worship will perish. (2)
8-16 That worship will possess the church, and will vastate it, and it will thus be in externals without internals. (2)
17-19 The state of the church will therefore be changed. (2, 7)
20-23 And the truths and goods of religion will perish in consequence, and falsities will succeed in their place. (2)
