PREFACE.

-

SOME years ago, five little works were published, namely, Concerning Heaven and Hell, The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem, The Last Judgment, The White Horse, The Planets and Earths in the Universe, — in which were declared many things which before were unknown. Now, by the command of the Lord Who has been revealed to me, the following are to be published: the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem concerning the Lord; the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem concerning the Sacred Scripture; the Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem, from the Precepts of the Decalogue; the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem concerning Faith; Continuation concerning the Last Judgment; Angelic Wisdom concerning the Divine Providence; Angelic Wisdom concerning the Divine Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Omniscience, Infinity, and Eternity; Angelic Wisdom concerning the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom; Angelic Wisdom concerning Life.

It is said, the "Doctrine of the New Jerusalem," which means the Doctrine for the New Church which is now to be established by the Lord; for the old Church has come to its end, as may be evident from what has been said in the little work on the Last Judgment, n. 33-39, JAN 281920 428678

and from what will be further said in the treatises just named, which are to follow.

That a New Church is meant by the New Jerusalem, the coming of which after the judgment is predicted in the Apocalypse, chap. xxi., may be seen in the last section of this treatise.
