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).

47. The full story of how the Last Judgment took place is too long to tell in this short work, but it will be given in my Explanation of the book of Revelation. ¹ The judgment was carried out not only on all from the Christian church, but also on all those known as Mohammedans, as well as all the heathen on this earth. It took place in the following order: first on those of the Roman Catholic religion, then on the Mohammedans, afterwards on the heathen, and lastly on the Reformed. The judgment on those of the Roman Catholic religion will be described in the next chapter on the destruction of Babylon; the judgment on the Reformed ² in the chapter on the former heaven which passed away [65-72]. On the judgment on the Mohammedans and the heathen some remarks will be made in this chapter.
