2126、进一步的代表展示了如今教会里的人是如何反对纯真本身的。一个美丽、纯真的婴孩出现了；它一出现，阻止魔鬼和恶灵犯下可憎罪行的外在约束就稍微放松了些。然后，他们开始以最令人震惊、可怕的方式对待这个婴孩，踹它，想要杀了它，这人以这种方式，那人以那种方式。因为在来世，婴孩代表纯真。我说过，他们活在肉身时没有表现出这类行为，但被告知，这就是他们的内在；如果世间法律，以及其它外在约束，如害怕丧失财富、地位、名声和性命，不阻止他们，他们就会以这种方式疯狂攻击所有纯真的人。他们听到这个回答后，竟然还取笑了一番。由此可见今天的人们是何性质，以及末期或末日即将来临的事实。

2126. It was further represented how opposed are those now within the church to innocence itself. There appeared a beautiful and innocent little child, at the sight of whom the external bonds by which evil genii and spirits are withheld from abominable deeds were slightly relaxed; and they then began to treat the little child in the most shocking manner-to trample on him, and to will the killing of him, one in one way, and another in another; for in the other life innocence is represented by infants. I remarked that during their bodily life such things do not appear in connection with these men, but it was answered that such are their interiors, and that if the civil laws did not hinder, and also other external bonds, such as the fear of the loss of property, of honor, of reputation, and of their life, they would rush insanely in the same way against all who are innocent. When they heard this answer, they made sport of it also. From what has been said we may see what is the quality of the men of the present day, and also that the last times are at hand.

2126. A further representation was made of how at the present time those inside the Church are opposed to Innocence itself. There appeared a beautiful and innocent child. Once it had appeared the external restraints by means of which evil genii and spirits are withheld from wickedness were relaxed a little. At that point they started to treat the little child very badly, to trample on it, and to wish to kill it, one in this way, another in that; for in the next life innocence is represented by means of little children. I exclaimed however that they are not seen to behave in such ways during the life of the body, to which the reply came that they are such interiorly and that but for civil laws to prevent them, and also other external restraints, such as the fear of losing wealth, position, and reputation, and the fear of losing their life, they would in the selfsame way rush madly against all who are innocent. When they heard this reply they poked fun at that too. What has been said therefore makes clear the character of people at the present day, as well as the fact that the last times are imminent.

2126. Porro etiam repraesentatum quomodo hodie illi qui intra Ecclesiam sunt, contra ipsam Innocentiam sunt {1}: visus est infans pulcher et innocens; quo viso vincula externa quibus tenentur mali genii et spiritus a flagitiosis, paulum remittebantur; tunc inceperunt infantem pessime tractare, illum conculcare, et velle occidere, unus sic et alter sic; innocentia enim in altera vita repraesentatur per infantes; at dixi, quod similia non appareant apud eos in vita corporis eorum; sed responsum, quod interiora eorum talia sint, et nisi leges civiles impedirent, tum alia vincula externa quae sunt timor jacturae lucri, honoris, famae, ac timor vitae, quod ita ruerent insane contra omnes innocentes: ii cum hoc responsum audiebant, etiam illud subsannabant. Quales itaque hodie sunt, ex illis quae dicta, constare potest; tum quod ultima tempora instent. @1 sint.$
