186. 'I also will keep thee safe from the hour of temptation that is going to come upon the entire world (orbis), to try those dwelling upon the land' signifies that they are to be protected and kept safe in the day of the last judgment. That their protection and safe-keeping in the day of the last judgment is understood by these words can be seen from the things that have been written and related concerning THE LAST JUDGMENT in a special little work, and afterwards in the CONTINUATION CONCERNING IT; from which things it is established that they who have undergone that [judgment] have been let into temptation and had their qualities investigated, and that those who interiorly were evil have been rejected, while those who interiorly were good have been saved; and they were interiorly good who were in truths derived out of good from the Lord.
