5404. In heaven they have wondered that so few who come into the other life from the Christian world know that the Lord rules heaven and earth, when nevertheless they knew from the Word that all things of the Father's are His [John 16:15, and that all power in heaven and on earth has been given to Him [Matt. 28:18, and that He is going to judge all. Few also think otherwise about the Lord than as a common person, or as they think about themselves.
5404. Those in heaven marveled that few who come into the other life from the Christian world, know that the Lord rules heaven and earth, when, nevertheless, they may know this from [the statements of] the Word that all things of the Father's are His; also, that all power in the heavens and the earths is given to Him, and that He shall judge all men. Few, also, think any otherwise about the Lord than as they do about a common man, or as about themselves.
5404. Mirati sunt in coelo, quod pauci qui ex Christiano orbe in alteram vitam veniunt, sciant quod Dominus regat coelum et terram, cum tamen hoc scirent ex Verbo, quod omnia Patris Ipsius sint [Joh. XVI: 15], et quod data Ipsi omnis potestas in coelis et in terris [Matth. XXVIII: 18], et quod judicaturus sit omnes: pauci etiam aliud cogitant de Domino quam sicut vulgari homine, aut sicut de se.
