20. (20) Those who have been and those who are in the faith of the church of today are meant in the Old Testament by 'the Philistines', and the faith itself is meant by their idol. The rejection of the dogmas of the faith of the church of today and the revelation of the dogmas of the faith of the New Church is meant by these words in Revelation xxi 5, He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I will make all things new. He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.
