Spiritual Meanings in Jeremiah, chapter 35

Full text of Jeremiah 35

Verses:
1-10: Those who are of the Lord's celestial church are represented by the "children of Jonadab," who were to "drink no wine, nor build a house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyards," which signifies to learn truths and retain them in the memory, which belongs to the spiritual church; but that they should "dwell in tents," which signifies to receive in the life and obey. [11]
11: From this they will have the celestial church. [11]
12-16: The Jewish church does not receive nor obey, although they are taught continually. [3]
17: Therefore they will perish. [3]
18, 19: But those who obey will be in the celestial church. [11]
