203. Chapter 3 [Amos] 1, 2 The church was instituted solely with the Israelitish nation, therefore falsities and evils must be examined there. 3 3-6 There cannot be at the same time a church and not a church, nor truths and at the same time falsities, without truths being snatched away. 3 7, 8 The Lord will surely reveal this; 3 9, 10 for from this it is clear how the church is devastated. 3 11 Therefore the truths of the church perish from falsities, 3 12 and the goods and truths of the Word will be carried off by them; 3 13-15 so also all things of the church. 3
