215. I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. That this signifies the time of the Last Judgment, when those who are in the former heaven must be visited, that then these must be saved is evident from the signification of the hour of temptation which shall come upon the whole world, as denoting the time of the Last Judgment; and from the signification of trying them that dwell upon the earth, as being visitation upon those who are in the former heaven, when those who are in faith from charity, and who are here treated of, will be saved, which is meant by its being said, "I also will keep thee." That these things are said of the Last Judgment is evident, for it is said, "the hour of temptation which shall come upon the whole world," when they that dwell upon the earth shall be tried. But because the Last Judgment, also the former heaven and its abolition, and the new heaven and its formation, are treated of in the small work, The Last Judgment, and further mention is made of the same in the following pages, we Shall for the present defer explaining these words more fully.
