It is remarkable that some never want to believe that God the Messiah rules all things, such as spirits who are not so bad, as well as all evil spirits. Yet even angels imagine no otherwise than that they are acting and speaking, and they think this is from themselves. For God the Messiah has so arranged all and the least things, that He wills nothing to be His own and all to belong to the angels. This may seem amazing to everyone without experience in the matter, yet it is the very truth, as the angelic heaven testifies by noticeable agreement. 1747, the 14th day of December.
