With those who were raised up from the cold place, I spoke later on. Many were also raised up afterwards, and, as they say, into the light. Actually, they are people who have been selfrighteous about good deeds, and have attributed to them the power of salvation. As for the righteousness or merit of God the Messiah, they have regarded it only as a kind of example, which they should follow, not [aware] that He Alone became righteousness for the sake of all. After they were elevated, they came into a higher habitation, and were there instructed about the reason why they were kept in that cold place and in continuous labor; and there they seemed to themselves to be clothed in shining white garments, for so it appeared to them, because thus the imagery of their lives follows from their acquired character. They were also instructed in other matters about which they avidly received teaching, though something still persists with them at the beginning from their former fantasy, of which they say they desire most eagerly to rid themselves. These words were written in their presence. 1747, the 29th day of November.
