Strangely enough, the gentiles in heaven are still in a kind of captivity, though not grievous, arranged in orders and levels; and when they were sometimes liberated, they were well-mannered, and easily received the faith, [confessing it] both by mouth and by heart. The informed, however, still seem to be floating up above, but are not in captivity (for what reason I have not yet been told) even though they are stubborn, and deny the faith with the mouth and the heart. But it has been told to me that there will be a turnabout, namely, that the gentiles are to be released from their captivity, and that the informed who have not received the faith are to be cast into bonds. 1747, the 21st day of October (old calendar).
