202. * attacking those who are for the inner law; that is to say, those who are for themselves and the world, and whatever arouses those loves, are constantly invading them in most diverse ways, as far as they are permitted by God the Messiah. And even though they succumb every time and are conquered, they still persist and do not give up; therefore, they say in their heart or suppose no differently than Moses does here, "It is not a voice crying out that there is victory, nor a voice crying out that the cause is lost." [Outer (External); Inward; Law]* * These clearly refer to WE 5402, second paragraph.
