63. Chapter 63 [Isaiah] The Lord and His Combats. 1, 7 1 The Lord as to the Divine truth, or the Word, from which He has Divine power. 1, 7 2 The Word has been wholly adulterated and destroyed. 3 3-6 No one is in truths, and therefore the Lord alone has fought and conquered, that the faithful may obtain salvation. 3, 7, 17 7, 8 This has been done from mercy, that those who wish to receive truth may be saved by Him, 17 9 that He, from Divine love, might lead them. 17 10 Those who were formerly of His church have turned away. 17 11-14 Yet, before that church existed, He led men and protected them in the midst of hell. 17 15, 16 Prayer to the Lord that He may have pity, because He alone has redeemed them. 17, 16 17, 18 Otherwise they would have perished, and hell would have had dominion over them. 17, 7 19 (H.B. 19a) When the Lord comes there will be power. 17, 7
