145. [verse 25] 'Nevertheless, what you have, hold fast till I come' signifies so that they may retain the few things that they know as a result of charity and faith therefrom out of the Word, and live in accordance with them, even till the New Heaven and the New Church, which are the Lord's coming, are brought into being. For these, and no others, receive the things that the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem teaches concerning the Lord and charity.
