Nota Preliminar al lector:

Siéndome por varias razones imposible realizar mi deseo de presentar por ahora una traducción completa de La Verdadera Religión Cristiana, Y por otra parte convencido de que las verdades expuestas por Swedenborg en dicha obra, aun siendo presentadas en forma abreviada, han de prestar valioso servicio a los que con sinceridad buscan la verdad, ofrezco la presente abreviación, entre tanto que la traducción completa pueda efectuarse, deseando cordialmente que resulte un medio en la mano del Señor para bendecir a muchos.

En esta abreviación he procurado en lo posible ceñirme a la letra del original, empleando las palabras del mismo Swedenborg tanto como la forma abreviada lo ha permitido.

960. 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! This symbolizes the Lord, who presented the visions in the book of Revelation and has now laid the book open, testifying to the gospel that He is coming as a bridegroom and husband in His Divine humanity which He assumed in the world and glorified, and that the church longs for Him as His bride and wife.

The Lord says before this, "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches" (verse 16 in this chapter), which symbolizes a testification by the Lord before the whole Christian world of the truth that the Lord alone has presented the visions described in this book, and that their meaning is now disclosed (see no. 953 above). It is apparent from this that He who testifies to these things, saying, symbolizes the Lord testifying, who has presented the visions in the book of Revelation and has now laid the book open. He is testifying to the gospel stated because He here announces His coming, His kingdom, and His spiritual marriage with the church; for the verse says, "'Surely I am coming quickly.' Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" and the gospel symbolizes the Lord's coming to His kingdom. See nos. 478, 553, 626, 664. It includes here His coming to a spiritual marriage with the church, because this New Church is called His bride and wife, and the Lord its bridegroom and husband (see chapters 19:7-9; 21:2, 9-10, and 22:17). And here, at the end of the book, the Lord speaks and the church speaks, like a bridegroom and bride. The Lord says, "Surely I am coming quickly. Amen." And the church says, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" These are the words of a betrothal looking to a spiritual marriage.

That the Lord will come in His Divine humanity which He assumed in the world and glorified is clear from the fact that He calls Himself Jesus and says that He is the Root and the Offspring of David (verse 16), while the church here says, "Come, Lord Jesus!" See nos. 953 and 954 above.
