36. VI. THE SIXTH STATE OF THE MEN OF THIS CHURCH, WHICH WAS THE ELEVATION TO GOD, AFTER THE LAST JUDGMENT, OF THE FAITHFUL, OF WHOM A NEW HEAVEN WAS FORMED, AND THE REMOVAL FROM GOD OF THE UNFAITHFUL, OF WHOM WAS FORMED A NEW HELL. In the preceding propositions (from n. 10 to 13, and from n. 14 to 17), it was explained that, after consummation, a Last Judgment was executed upon all who were of each of the four Churches above named, and after this a new heaven and a new hell formed from them, and thus that there have been four judgments in this earth on its inhabitants, and four heavens and hells formed from them; and it has been granted me to know, that both those heavens and those hells are so entirely distinct from each other, that no person can by any possibility pass out of his own into that of another. All these heavens have been described in the little work on CONJUGIAL LOVE; and, as the spiritual origin of love truly conjugial 1 is from no other source than the marriage of the Lord and the Church, thus from the Lord's love towards the Church and that of the Church to the Lord (as was shown in that little work, from n. 116 to 131), and as the most ancient people were in both these loves so long as they retained in themselves the image of God, therefore, I may transcribe from that little work the following particulars respecting that heaven, to which I was at the time granted admission; which are as follow:
Фусноте:
1. Here, and elsewhere throughout this work, conjugialis is translated "conjugial" in preference to "marriage," on account of the new spiritual concept introduced by Swedenborg. In the first translation of De Amore Conjugiali, Rev. J. Clowes introduced this translation of conjugialis, but in this he is not followed by some translators of Swedenborg.

10. IV. AFTER ITS CONSUMMATION, OR END, THE LORD JEHOVIH APPEARS, AND EXECUTES A JUDGMENT ON THE MEN OF THE FORMER CHURCH, AND SEPARATES THE GOOD FROM THE EVIL, AND RAISES THE GOOD TO HIMSELF INTO HEAVEN AND REMOVES THE EVIL FROM HIMSELF INTO HELL. That towards the end of every Church the Lord Jehovih appears to execute a judgment on those who have lived from its first institution to its consummation, will be established in the following pages, where each Church will be separately dealt with. Every man, indeed, is judged after death; but, at the end of a Church, all are collected together and a general judgment executed on them; and this to the intent that they may be conjoined into a heavenly order, which is effected by the arrangement of the faithful into a new heaven, and of the unfaithful into a new hell beneath it; of which arrangement we shall speak more at large in the following article.
