For several days there had been some in the heaven of spirits who were stirring up trouble and persuading others that God the Messiah was not the mediator, besides other hostile sayings inspired by their fantasy. They had led many astray, thus causing a kind of rebellion, in which certain ones joined up with them. While this was going on for several days, God the Messiah, as He had been present before to my spiritual vision, seemed to have disappeared, and so I was abandoned to these spirits' fantasy of recognizing only Jehovah the Father of God the Messiah, without a mediator. All this I was granted to see by spiritual vision, wondering what would come of it. Presently I heard, and sensed by spiritual vision, that the rebelling spirits had been seized with pain, and that that band had been cast out, and were being miserably tormented. This I am now hearing from them. There is much moaning and weeping. They number near the tens of thousands, as they declare, begging that no one let himself be misled again, if he does not want to suffer indescribable tortures. This and a like gang is meant where God the Messiah speaks of one who slipped into the feast not clothed in a wedding garment, and was cast out from it [Matt. 22:11-14]. 1747, 28 Dec. They were cast into a swamp.
