274. About the habitation of those who live devoutly, but only acknowledge the one God, not knowing that God the Messiah is God over the Universe

This morning in full wakefulness, while I was being brought by the mercy of God the Messiah through many habitations, I was also led down among those who had not known that God the Messiah was the God of the Universe, but had still led a devout life. Among them it was really calm; the rest I am not given to remember. But these also were raised up to a higher habitation, where they were taught, and thus given to feel inward joy, although the notion persisted with them that they had come into a beautiful city, and into beautiful dwellings, besides other places. 1747, the 29th day of November.
