1. I. THE LAST JUDGMENT HAS BEEN COMPLETED

My earlier work on THE LAST JUDGMENT dealt with the following subjects:

The day of the Last Judgment does not mean the destruction of the world (The Last Judgment 1-5).

The reproduction of the human race will never cease (6-13).

Heaven and Hell are from the human race (14-22).

All people who have ever been born since the beginning of creation and have died are in heaven or in hell (23-27).

The Last Judgment is to be where all are together, and so in the spiritual world, not on earth (28-32).

The Last Judgment takes place when a church comes to an end; and this happens when there is no faith because there is no charity (33-39).

All the predictions made in the Book of Revelation are today fulfilled (40-44).

The Last Judgment has taken place (45-52).

On Babylon and its destruction (53-64);

on the former heaven and its abolition (65-72);

on the future state of the world and the church (73-74).

44. It needs to be said as a preliminary that all the predictions contained in the heavenly sense have now been fulfilled. I should like in the present work to make some general observations about the Last Judgment, the destruction of Babylon, the first heaven and the first earth which passed away, the new heaven and the new earth and the New Jerusalem. This is so that it may be known that all these events have now happened. But it is impossible to go into details until they are all explained as they are described in the book of Revelation.
