274. CONCERNING THE HABITATION OF THOSE WHO LIVE PIOUSLY, BUT WHO ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE ONE GOD, AND DO NOT KNOW THAT GOD MESSIAH IS THE GOD OVER THE UNIVERSE When by the mercy of God Messiah I was conveyed this morning, in full wakefulness, through many habitations, I was also conducted among those who did not know that God Messiah is the God of the Universe, but still had led a pious life. It was indeed tranquil with them: the other things it is not granted me to remember. But they were also raised up into a higher habitation where they were taught, and thus it was given them to partake of an interior joy; but the notion still clung to them that they had come into a beautiful city, and into beautiful dwelling places: besides many other things. 1747, Nov. 29.
