1 Kings 19:14

Studie

       

14 He said, "I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

Verse 14. Whence the former perception from Divine Truth is confirmed—namely, that those who love the Word have an ardent zeal for Divine Good from which is Divine Truth manifesting the Divine Power against evil; but that this zeal is in obscurity because, in the corrupted spiritual church, conjunction with the Lord is broken, the worship of the Lord is destroyed, and the doctrine of a true faith is rejected; and because, although the Word is still acknowledged, the tendency is to deny it entirely.
