TCR 753, 755 - The Consummation (End) of the Age

TCR 753

There have been several Churches on this earth,
all of which in process of time have been consummated,
and after their consummation new ones have arisen;
and this has been the case right up to the present time.
The consummation of the Church takes place
when there remains no Divine Truth
but what is either falsified or rejected.
And where there is no genuine truth
there can be no genuine good,
because the whole quality of good is formed by truths;
for good is the essence of truth,
and truth is the form of good,
and quality cannot exist without form.
Good and truth can no more be separated
than will and understanding;
or, what is the same thing,
than the affection of love and thought arising from it.
Therefore,
when truth is consummated (ended) in the Church,
good in it is consummated (ended) also;
and when that takes place,
the Church is at an end, that is,
then is its consummation.

It should be known
that vastation, desolation and decision
signify the same as consummation;
but desolation signifies the consummation of truth,
vastation the consummation of good,
and decision the full consummation of both;
and the fullness of time,
in which the Lord came into the world,
and in which He is to come,
is also a consummation.
