1893. Or, for example, that only faith in the Lord saves, that the Lord governs the universe and every least thing of the universe, that the Lord is the All in everything, and other points besides which are very general, and embrace within them countless particulars. Those general concepts in a person on earth are nothing compared to a higher knowledge of them. Likewise, what we call hell, or heaven, is each a most general concept, and amounts to almost nothing compared with the realities those concepts embrace within them.
