that sinners would ever be saved from hell on the day of judgment; as it was written, "Go, you accursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." But that accursed thing was the devil. These were the answers given to me from our Savior's words: I will separate the sheep from the goats; the sheep on my right hand, and the goats on the left; but though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.
"But on my right hand all my sheep shall sit;
And on the left the goats I’ll not forget:

And in despair he died a wretched end,
And said he sinned to betray his friend:

And tell the woman if her thoughts are right;
And what they blame in her history;
Then after that her trial must begin.

That I am present in the woman's form,
When you deeply discern that sixth book;
When you weigh it all deeply together,
Then know that the judgment day has come to man;
And then I will begin to heal the nations.—
And now I will bring you a deeper dream,
Which I command you to write down here,
And then I shall make the mystery clear."

I thought I was at a door; and, looking into the heavens, I saw them full of sheep, lying in the air like a flock of sheep on the mountains. In the midst
