Nahum

222.Nahum Chapter 1 Verses 1, 2 The last judgment upon those who are in evils. 15 3-6 By virtue of His presence all things are revealed, and those who are of the perverted church will not endure. 15, 3 7 The Lord will protect those who trust in Him, 11 8-11 but those who are in falsities and evils will perish; 3 12-14 those, however, who are not of that church, and are in falsities from ignorance, will be received, and their falsities will be removed. 11 15 [See next chapter.] 1, 11

223.Chapter 2 [Nahum] 1:15, 2:1-3 (H.B. 2:1-4) The Lord’s coming and the new church from Him, and the protection of that church by Him. 1, 11 3-6 (H.B. 4-7) On the day of judgment those will perish who have destroyed the church, and they will be cast into hell with tumult. 15, 3 7-10 (H.B. 8-11) All things of the church will be taken away from them. 3 11-13 (H.B. 12-14) Then they will no longer destroy the church and its sanctities. 3

224.Chapter 3 [Nahum] Respecting those who have falsified and adulterated the word. 15, 3 1-4 They will perish in hell. 15, 3 5-7 All their adulterations will be revealed, and they will perish. 15, 3 8-10 Knowledges [cognitiones et scientifica] will not save, because they will be dissipated, 15, 3 11, 12 because they will not protect them from perishing by falsities of evil, 15, 3 13-17 howsoever they have confirmed themselves by them, but in vain; 15, 3 18 neither will reasonings save. 15, 3 19 There is nothing of soundness, therefore their destruction. 15, 3
