AC 6197 - The Deceitful Spirits

AC 6197

Those deceitful ones chiefly insinuated such things
as were contrary to the Lord;
and then it was given me to reflect upon the fact
that no one in hell acknowledges the Lord;
but that insofar as they may,
they are full of abuse of Him;
yet they are not unwilling to hear mention made of
the Father, the Creator of the universe.
From this very plain indication it is evident
that it is the Lord who rules the universal heaven,
as He Himself teaches in Matthew:
"All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth"
(Matthew 28:18);
and that they are opposed to the Lord
because they are opposed to heaven,
where the Lord is all in all.
