There are many earths in the universe, and all of them full of
inhabitants, scarcely any of whom know that the Lord took on the
Human on our earth. Yet because they worship the Divine under a human
form they are accepted and led by the Lord. On this subject more may
be seen in the little work on The Earths in the Universe.
{Footnote 1} Difference between the good in which the heathen
are and that in which Christians are (n. 4189, 4197). Truths
with the heathen (n. 3263, 3778, 4190). The interiors cannot be
so closed up with the heathen as with Christians (n. 9256).
Neither can so thick a cloud exist with the heathen who live in
mutual charity in accordance with their religion as with
Christians who live in no charity; the reasons (n. 1059, 9256).
The heathen cannot profane the holy things of the church as the
Christians do, because they are ignorant of them (n. 1327,
1328, 2051). They have a fear of Christians on account of their
lives (n. 2596, 2597). Those that have lived well in accordance
with their religion are taught by angels and readily accept the
truths of faith and acknowledge the Lord (n. 2049, 2595, 2598,
2600, 2601, 2603, 2861, 2863, 3263).
