2121、最后的审判即将来临，但这在地上和教会中不像在所有灵魂都去往并聚集的来世那样明显。如今，灵人界充满魔鬼和恶灵，大多来自基督教界。在他们当中盛行的，无非是仇恨、报复、残忍、淫秽和阴谋诡计。这不仅是灵魂刚从世界来到的灵人界的情形，也是灵人界中那些在意图和目的上拥有内在邪恶的人所在的内在气场的情形。时至今日，这个内在气场如此拥挤，以致我一直在想怎么会有那么多人。没有人是立刻被投入地狱的，因为按照秩序的律法，所有这些灵人都要回到他们在肉身所过的生活中，并从那里一步一步下入地狱。主从不将任何人投入地狱，而是每个人将自己投入地狱。因此，这些灵人的世界挤满了一群这样的灵人，他们会在那里聚集并停留一段时间。由于他们，从世界来的灵魂受到可怕的压制和恶意骚扰。此外，与人同在的灵人（因为主通过灵人和天使掌管每个人）比以往任何时候都更被挑动起来伤害世人，以恶毒的建议苦待他，并且到了这种程度：与他同在的天使几乎无法驱散他们，而是被迫从很远的地方流入那人。因此，在来世明显看出末期或末日即将来临。

2121. That a Last Judgment is at hand,* cannot be so evident on the earth and within the church as in the other life, whither all souls arrive, and flock together. At this day the world of spirits is full of evil genii and evil spirits, mostly from the Christian world, among whom there reign nothing but hatreds, revenges, cruelties, obscenities, and deceitful machinations. Nor is this the case only with the world of spirits, where souls fresh from the world first arrive, but also with the interior sphere of that world, where those are who have been interiorly evil in respect to their intentions and ends. This likewise is at the present day so crowded that I have wondered there ever could be so great an abundance. For all are not instantly cast down into the hells, because it is according to the laws of order that every such person should return into his life which he had had in the body, and should in this way be brought down by degrees into hell. The Lord casts no one into hell, but everyone casts himself there. The result is that these Worlds of spirits are thronged with a crowd of such spirits, who gather and stay there for a time. By their means the souls who come from the world are frightfully infested. Moreover the spirits who are with man (for every man is governed by the Lord through spirits and angels) are more stirred up than heretofore to bring malign influences to bear upon man, and this to such a degree that the angels who are with him can scarcely avert them, but are compelled to inflow into man from a greater distance. In the other life it is from all this very evident that the last time is at hand. * This was first published in 1750.

2121. The Last Judgement is now imminent, but this is not so clear on earth and within the Church as it is in the next life, to which place all souls go and flock together. At the present time the world of spirits is full of evil genii and evil spirits drawn for the most part from the Christian world. Among them nothing but forms of hatred, revenge, cruelty, disgusting behaviour, and also scheming devices prevail. This is the situation not only in the world of spirits where souls recently arrived from the world first gather, but also in the interior sphere of that world where those people are who, as regards their intentions and ends in view, have been interiorly evil. This interior sphere is at the present time so full to capacity that I have wondered that so vast a number could ever exist. For all are not cast down into the hells instantly, since the laws of order ensure that every such person shall return to the life that was his during his lifetime, and from that point be taken down step by step into hell. The Lord casts no one down into hell, but everyone does so to himself. Consequently those worlds of spirits are completely full to overflowing- with the vast number of such souls gathering and remaining there for a time. Because of them souls coming from the world are horribly oppressed. And in addition the spirits who are present with a person - for everyone is governed by the Lord by means of spirits and angels - are stirred more than ever before to afflict him with wicked suggestions, doing so to such an extent that the angels present with him can scarcely ward them off, but are compelled to flow into that person from further away. From this situation as it exists in the next life it is quite clear that the final period is imminent.

2121. Quod ultimum judicium instet, non ita constare potest in terris et intra Ecclesiam ac in altera vita, quo omnes animae veniunt et confluunt; mundus spirituum hodie plenus est malis geniis et malis spiritibus, maxime ex orbe Christiano; et inter eos non regnant nisi odia, vindictae, crudelitates, obscenitates, tum machinationes dolosae: nec solum mundus spirituum quo animae recentes e mundo primum alluunt, sed etiam sphaera istius mundi interior, ubi sunt qui quoad intentiones et fines interius mali fuerant; haec similiter hodie adeo oppleta est ut miratus quod tanta copia usquam dari potuisset; omnes enim in inferna non momento dejiciuntur, quia secundum leges ordinis est ut quisque talis redeat in vitam suam quam habuit in corpore, et inde per gradus deferatur in infernum; Dominus nullum dejicit in infernum, sed quisque semet; inde mundi illi spirituum oppletissimi sunt copia alluentium talium et morantium ibi ad tempus; ex illis animae quae e mundo veniunt, atrociter infestantur; et praeterea, spiritus qui apud hominem, (nam quisque homo per spiritus et angelos regitur a Domino:) {1} plus quam prius excitantur ad inferenda homini maligna, et quidem in tantum ut angeli qui apud {2} hominem, vix possint avertere, sed cogantur remotius in hominem influere. Exinde in altera vita manifeste constare potest quod ultimum tempus instet. @1 No parentheses in A.$ @2 i etiam.$
