EU 97-98, 99 - Saturn: There Is Only One God

EU 97-98, 99

The spirits from the earth Saturn . . .
are upright and modest,
and inasmuch as they esteem themselves little,
therefore they also appear small in the other life.

In worship they are exceedingly humble,
for in it they account themselves as nothing.
They worship our Lord,
and acknowledge Him as the only God.
The Lord also appears to them at times
under an angelic form, and thereby as a Man,
and the Divine then shines forth
from the face and affects the mind.
The inhabitants also,
when they arrive at a certain age,
speak with spirits,
by whom they are instructed concerning the Lord,
how He ought to be worshiped,
and likewise how they ought to live.
When any wish to seduce the spirits
who come from the earth Saturn,
and to withdraw them from faith in the Lord,
or from humiliation towards Him,
and from uprightness of life,
they say they wish to die.

They said that sometimes
spirits from our earth come to them,
and ask them what God they worship;
to whom they reply, that they are insane,
and that there cannot be a greater proof of insanity
than to ask what God any one worships,
when there is but one only God
for all in the universe;
and that they are still more insane in this,
that they do not acknowledge the Lord
to be that one only God,
and that He rules the entire heaven,
and thereby the whole world;
for whosoever rules heaven also rules the world,
inasmuch as the world is ruled through heaven.
