42 Havde ikke min Faders Gud, Abrahams Gud og Isaks ædsel, stået mig bi, så havde du ladet mig gå med tomme Hænder; men Gud så min Elendighed og mine Hænders Møje, og i Nat afsagde han sin Kendelse!"

4218. THE GRAND MAN AND CORRESPONDENCE - continued

At the ends of chapters in the previous volumes 1 things are recorded which I have been allowed to see and to be made aware of in the world of spirits and in the heavens of angels, the last subject to be dealt with being the Grand Man and Correspondence. To enable people to understand more fully man's state of being - that he lives connected to heaven not only as to his thoughts and affections but also as to his bodily organs, interior and exterior, and that without that connection he cannot remain in existence for a single instant - let what was begun at the ends of chapters immediately before the present one regarding Correspondence with the Grand Man be continued in this volume.
