211. There are also realms of evil spirits which are to be called hellish ones, because they will be turned into hellish ones on the last day of judgment - these realms or fields rise up in proportion to the increases of human wickedness, or in proportion to the destruction of belief on the earth. Therefore, since they have risen so high at this day that they are suffocating or extinguishing all truth and belief, it necessarily follows that the Kingdom of God the Messiah will come shortly - otherwise no flesh can be saved [Matt. 24:22], and hardly anyone of the human race be regenerated.
