Spiritual Meanings in Hosea, chapter 11

Full text of Hosea 11

Verses:
1: That "Israel," the Lord, was "brought down into Egypt," means that they were instructed in the first principles of the church. [1]
2: They were there in natural desire and knowledge [scientia]. [11]
3, 4: They were instructed in cognitions and knowledges [scientiae]. [11]
5-8: When they have become spiritual, they will no longer be natural, since they will thus destroy truths and the understanding of them; [11]
9-11: but from their having been in knowledges [scientiae] they will have intelligence from the Lord. [11]
12: The understanding of the Word was falsified, although the Word is the Lord's. [2]
