CONTENTS

Now that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who in the highest sense represent the Lord, have been dealt with, this final chapter deals in the internal sense with the Church, with the establishment by the Lord of the spiritual Church after the celestial Church had perished. The beginning and the progressive stages of that spiritual Church are described in the internal sense; and at the end of the chapter the end of that Church, when solely a representative of the Church was established among Jacob's descendants, is described.
