7-9. By barren are meant the nations who are called to the church and to whom the church is transferred when the old church ceases, that is when they who were before of the church are no longer in faith because there is no charity, this latter church is meant by the barren and desolate who should have many sons. A. 9325. That they who are in falses from ignorance, and thence not in goods are to be instructed in truths from the Lord is signified by verse 7. The bruised and needy are those who are in falses from ignorance, and thence not in goods. The primary truths of the church in which they are to be instructed are signified by verse 8. That the life derived from the marriage of truth and good shall be with those with wrhom it was not before is signified by verse 9. To dwell means to live, the barren house where there was no marriage of truth and good, the glad mother of sons the church wherein truths are born from good. E. 721.
Because He will save those who will be of His church. P. P.
