44. Chapter 44 [Isaiah] 1-4 Those who will acknowledge the Lord will receive the Holy Spirit. 1, 11 5-7 He is Jehovah who has foretold that He will do this. 1 8 There is no other God. 1 9-11 Those who do not worship Him alone are falsifiers. 4 12-20 Those who frame for themselves something else of religion from their own intelligence make falsity to appear as truth, and evil as good, whence they have a quasi divine worship. 2 21, 22 To the Jewish church: it should refrain from such things. 2 23, 24 To the new church: the Lord alone is the God of heaven and earth. 11, 10 25 He rejects such, because they are insane from self-intelligence, 3 26 when He establishes His church, 11 27 and destroys the old church. 3 28 This is from the Lord through the Divine Human, who is meant by "Cyrus" in this place. 11
