142. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 19

1-2 The first thing of the church among the fathers of the Israelitish nation was destructive of all things of the church. (2)

3 That nation was likewise destroying all things of the church. (2, 16)

4-7 They were natural external, and opposed to all things of the church, and therefore they became perverted and were destroyed, (2)

8-9 and afterwards they were wholly destroyed by means of reasonings from the natural man. (2)

10-11 The Ancient Church was in Divine truths, (2)

12-14 but in the Israelitish and Jewish church all Divine truth was perverted and rejected. (2)
