And in the New Testament they are: The four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and the Book of Revelation.

10352. 'According to all the things which I have commanded you they shall do' means in keeping with Divine Truths derived from the Word, which are to be represented in outward objects, as above in 10337.
