2179. When I was held in that mental image, the societies that were far off were being dispersed. They complained about this, thinking that all was lost, as is usual when such a thing occurs. But I saw by a spiritual mental image that now for the first time they were being joined more closely together according to the law of order, and that if not broken up in this way, they are not joined together according to the laws of order. For the Spirit of the Lord brings all things back into order from within, or as it appears, from above. So they must by all means be reduced to order, as was clearly seen by me in a spiritual mental image. 1748, 3 June.
