185. Chapter 2 [Hosea] 1-4 Exhortation to abstain from the falsifications of the Word, otherwise there will be no church, but it will be without goods and truths, as before. 11, 2 5-7 They will become as before when they loved evil and falsity, but they will be withheld. 11, 2 8 They will return to God whom they worshipped at that time, and from whom they received good, not knowing that this was from the Lord; 11, 2 9-13 but because they still did not worship Him, but another god, goods and truths will be vastated. 11, 2 14-17 Those who will be of the new church, are to be purified by temptations, and prepared, 11 18-20 and a new church constituted of such will come into existence, which will acknowledge the Lord. 11 21-23 Then they will receive all things of heaven and the church. 11
