17 我們定要成就我們中所出的一切,向后燒香、澆奠祭,按著我們我們列祖、君、首領在猶大的城邑中和耶路撒冷的街上素常所行的一樣;因為那時我們吃飽飯、享福樂,並不見災禍。

Arcana Coelestia #826

826. There were certain members of both sexes from the so-called Christian world who during their lifetime had imagined adultery to be not only permissible but also sacred. In so doing they upheld collective marriages, as they irreverently termed them, under a pretence of holiness. I saw that they were sent to Gehenna, but when they got there a change took place. The fiery glow of Gehenna, which is decidedly red, turned decidedly white on their arrival, and I perceived that they did not fit in there. Consequently that unmentionable bunch was removed from that place and taken down to a quarter at the back. I was told that they had gone into another world where they would be immersed in stagnant waters, and from there on into a new Gehenna that had been provided for them. I heard in this Gehenna something like a hissing which was indescribable. But the hissing or hum of Gehenna was duller than that of those people who had defiled holiness by acts of adultery.
