188. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 5

1-3 Those who represented the celestial things of the church and those who represented its spiritual and intellectual things, falsified and adulterated the truths of the Word. (3)

4 They cannot turn back, (3)

5-9 but all will perish. (3)

10-14 They no longer have any understanding of truth, but in place of truth they understand falsity. (3, 11)

15 Nevertheless there will be a new thing of the church. (11)
