125. [125.] Gentiles
Concerning the lot of gentiles and people outside the church, see what I wrote in Arcana Coelestia (The Secrets of Heaven), nos. 2589 to 2604, and in the book Heaven and Hell, nos. 318 to 328. Something on the subject may be seen also in the small book The Last Judgment, nos. 47 to 51. That a new heaven was formed of both Christians and gentiles, and that the Lord's Church exists among them on earth, may be seen in The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine, nos. 3, 244-246.
