247. [250.] 110. I once saw what sort of love Christians have toward the Lord today. Many of them were conveyed into their loves, and in fantasy were given to see what seemed to be the Lord; and at that point they went into such a rage that they dragged Him down and tried to murder Him, all of them having been caught up in faith alone and subsequently in love of self. It was apparent from this that the Christian world today is against the Lord, as were formerly Jews. In a word, all who are caught up in faith alone, and in a love of self and the world and so in evils, if they so much as sense the Divine atmosphere of the Lord, go into a rage.
