No one has seen the Father except the One who is with the Father. He
has seen the Father. (John 6 : 46 )
You have never heard the voice of the Father or seen what he looks like.
(John 5 : 37 )
There are those of course who know nothing about the Lord, such as
most people who are in those two great parts of the world called Asia
and Africa, as well as in the Indies, for example. If they believe in one
God and follow the principles of their religion in their lives they are
saved by their faith and by their life. Spiritual credit or blame applies
only to those who know; it does not apply to those who do not. We do
not blame the blind for tripping. As the Lord says, “If you had been
blind you would have had no sin; but now that you say you see, your sin
remains” (John 9 : 41 ).

108 To further support this point I will relate some things that I know
and can testify to because I have seen them.
Today a new angelic heaven is being built by the Lord. It is being
made up of those who believe in the Lord God the Savior and who go
directly to him; the rest are rejected. From now on if any from the Chris-
tian world come into the spiritual world (as happens to us all after we
die) and they do not believe in the Lord, do not turn to him alone, and
are unable at that point to change in this regard because they have lived
in evil ways or have convinced themselves of falsities, when they take
their first step toward heaven they are pushed back. Their face is turned
away from heaven toward the lower earth. They go off in that direction
and join up with spirits in the lower earth who are meant by the dragon
and the false prophet in the Book of Revelation.
From now on all people from Christian areas who do not believe in
the Lord are not going to be listened to, either. In heaven their prayers
are like foul smells and like belches from damaged lungs. If people like
that think their own prayer is like burning frankincense, nevertheless it
does not reach the angelic heaven any more effectively than would the
smoke from a fire that was blown back into their eyes by a storm coming
down. Or their praying is like burning incense in a censer under a
monk’s robe.
This is what is going to happen from this time on with all piety that
is directed to a separated Trinity rather than a united one.
The main point of this book is that the divine Trinity is united in
the Lord.
