It is the infrangible truth, and thoroughly corroborated by experience, that no one of humankind can be aroused out of their grave, still less be raised from the lower parts of the earth into the heavens, that is, into the inward,* the very inward and the innermost one, except through God the Messiah - which also it was granted me to learn from plain experience. In order that I might know it, I was allowed to feel it by a certain kind of drawing up or pulling up, which I can hardly describe. So it is in the whole of heaven; for God the Messiah, Who has all power in the heavens and on earth [Matt. 28:18], most intensely and deeply burns with the love and mercy to save the whole human race, His Love and His mercy being of such force, because He is omnipotent. 1747, the 5th day of December. * See 262, footnote 3.
