The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #151
151. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 28
1-5 Since they believe that they are learned from mere knowledges [cognitiones] and say in their heart that they are most intelligent from themselves, (2, 3)
6-10 therefore they will falsify all knowledges [cognitiones] of truth, and will perish thereby. (2, 3, 16)
11 Respecting learning from the Word. (2, 3)
12 From the Word they have all truths and goods of heaven and of the church; (2, 11)
12-18 in consequence of which they were in intelligence at first, but afterwards this was dissipated by means of their pride. (2)
19-20 Natural love consumed all things of the church, resulting in their destruction. (3)
21-23 Of the understanding of truth, which is meant by Zidon: it will perish by means of falsities. (2)
24 Their destruction, lest the church should be still further destroyed. (3)
25-26 A new church will come into existence, when the former has been condemned. (11)
