14. In this consummation or end of the Church, the cry will go up from every pulpit, and the people will shout in every place of worship, 'Here is the habitation of God, here is the temple of God, here is the Church of God, here is salvation, here is the light of the Gospel'; and they are quite unaware that they are in total darkness, and that they are dreaming the dream of the age. The reason is that they believe falsities to be truths, and truths to be falsities, as also evils to be goods, and vice versa. This night and this dream the Lord foretold in Matthew xxiv 37-9 and in Luke xvii 26-end.
