44.我需要初步说明，就天上的意义而言，包含在启示录中的一切事现在都已应验。在本书，我要对最后的审判、被毁的巴比伦、已经过去的先前的天和先前的地、新天新地和新耶路撒冷作一些概述，好叫人们知道，现在这一切事都已成就。不过，在照着启示录中对这些事的描述来解释它们之前，深入细节是不可能了。
44. By way of a preliminary, I should at least mention that everything in the heavenly meaning of the Book of Revelation has now been fulfilled. In this booklet I present some general facts about the Last Judgment and the destruction of Babylon, the first heaven and the first earth that have passed away, the new heaven, the new earth, and the New Jerusalem, in order to let it be known that all these things have occurred already. The specifics cannot be presented, however, except in the context of a detailed explanation of the descriptions of these events in the Book of Revelation.
44. It needs to be said as a preliminary that all the predictions contained in the heavenly sense have now been fulfilled. I should like in the present work to make some general observations about the Last Judgment, the destruction of Babylon, the first heaven and the first earth which passed away, the new heaven and the new earth and the New Jerusalem. This is so that it may be known that all these events have now happened. But it is impossible to go into details until they are all explained as they are described in the book of Revelation.
44. It has been remarked before, that all the things which are contained in that book, in the heavenly sense, are now fulfilled. In this little work I will deliver some general account of the Last Judgment, the Babylon destroyed, the first heaven and the first earth which passed away, the new heaven, the new earth, and the New Jerusalem; in order that it may be known, that all things are now accomplished. But the details can only be delivered, where all these things are explained according to the description of them in the Book of Revelation
44. In antecessum memorandum est, quod omnia quae inibi in caelesti sensu continentur, nunc impleta sint. Communia aliqua velim in hoc opusculo tradere, de Ultimo Judicio; de Babylonia destructa; de primo Caelo et prima Terra quae transiverunt; de novo Caelo, deque nova Terra, et de nova Hierosolyma; ob causam ut sciatur quod omnia nunc peracta sint: sed specifica non tradi queunt, nisi ubi explicantur singula secundum descriptiones in Libro Revelationis de illis.
