151. Chapter 28 [Ezekiel] 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 6-10 therefore they will falsify all knowledges [cognitiones] of truth, and will perish thereby. 2, 3 11 Respecting learning from the Word. 2 12 From the Word they have all truths and goods of heaven and of the church; 2 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
