Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apocalypse Explained According to the Spiritual Sense, Vol. 6 of 6: Chap. XVIII. To Chap. XXII These things however are to be thus understood, that that religious principle will indeed continue in the world, by reason that the love of ruling is so implanted in every one that it cannot be eradicated, and so long as this is the case, it is not possible that that religious principle should have an end in the world; but still in the spiritual world, into which every one comes after death, it will have an end, for then all who are of that religion, and have exercised domination from the delight of the love of rule, are not allowed as before to make to themselves as it were heavens in the world of spirits, which is in the midst between heaven and hell, and there to abide a certain time, but as soon as they arrive thither, they are sent away and cast into their hells: this is understood by the destruction of Babylon, not only as predicted here in the Apocalypse, but also in many passages in the prophets.
