) he hath a devil. '''*f The parallel, in this respect, is, undoubtedly a just one, and the charge is as true in the one case as in the other. We have seen above how exalted and amiable the character of Swedenborg is universally allowed to have been, — how com- pletely serene and happy were his life and death : could such be the state of a man who was the organ of evil spirits ? Yet there is no alternative, according to this adversary, (in which we fully agree with him), between believing Swede...nborg to have been such an organ, and believing all his writings to be true. Which is the more probable, let the candid reader decide.
Here, then, I close this Section on Swedenborg as the Hu- man Instrument for announcing the Second Coming of the Lord, and for communicating the truths then to be discovered ; and 1 trust it has been shown, that there is much to authenticate, and nothing of any validity to impugn, his claims to be accepted in that character.
Why is this not generally seen ? Because Christians in gen- eral now, like the Jews at the Lord's first advent, have their minds preoccupied with erroneous conceptions respecting spir- itual subjects : because, as the Jews w^ere possessed with gross but'darling notions respecting the earthly kingdom of the Messiah, and the perpetual carnal observation of the ceremo- nial law, and thus were disqualified for relishing the spiritual things which he declared were contained in that law ; so Chris- tians are possessed with external but fondly cherished senti- ments respecting all the great points of the religion of Jesus, and with the persuasion that it is to continue unaltered, as pro- fessed by them, till the end of the world ; and are thus disqual- ified for relishing the truly heavenly doctrines and really spirit- ual ideas which are now shown to be contained in the Word of God.
