, REVELATIONS FROM THE SPIRITS OFEMANUEL SWEDENBORG,AND OFJOSEPH SMITH;SHEWING THE MIXTURE OF TRUTH AND FICTION SET FORTH IN THE DOCTRINES TAUGHT BYpTH EM WHILST ON EARTH. »' 53 §Qa------Tho time had not arrived when allshould know,When I was taken to my spirit home ;But still, I was commanded men to showThe time was near when Christ on earth should come.SriniTTJAt.The object of this work is to place before a discerningpublic an important subject, upon which the future happinessof thousands of my fellow creatures, of both sexes, rests;and, in compliance with the commands I have received fromthe highest celestial powers, I now proceed to lay before thereader the circumstances and objects forwhich this pamphletis sent forth. For, as before observed', there are thousandsof persons who have, up to a lata period of their existence,

6been taught and trained in the doetrines of Christianity,which now exist under the present dispensation of the protestant and dissenting churches. Until, finding the manyabsurdities as set forth in the doctrines taught them, theybegin to learn that whatever their endeavours may be inadhering to them, there is but a faint hope of salvation asthe result of theirlabours, and thus after years of study andpainful anxiety, and intentions to do good, and desirous tobe right, they find their hopes blighted, and relax in theirperseverance, and run to and fro, seeking consolation andcomfort for their minds but in vain, and ultimately, throughthe misguidance of their spiritual teachers, become atheists,infidels, or materialists ; believing in nothing but what theycan see or touch. This is the case at least with nine-tenthsof the population, no matter what their outward professionsmay have been. It will be seen in the pages of this work,and likewise in the “ Message” that our great and mercifulGod has seen this wickedness, on the part of the instructorsof the people, in all ages, and to enlighten the people, hassent prophets amongst them, who were gifted with thepower of making manifest His Divine will, and the doctrinesthe said prophets taught in the remotest ages are made thefoundation upon which the people are taught to build theirfaith, as their only guide to salvation. Notwithstandingthat it is almost universally acknowledged that the ancientprophets’ writings have been grossly corrupted, to suit theconvenience of those in power, yet the people, though theylook upon them with doubt and mistrust, externally holdthem in superstitious fear and reverence. For, from themthey are taught to look upon their rulers with fear and re spect, and for any act of disobedience which their laws, withscripture for their foundation, impose upon them, they shallsuffer eternal damnation, by being tortured with fire andbrimstone for ever and ever. Thus the people have beenkept in superstitious ignorance, by this fear, until many agesafter the establishment of their acknowledged church.When Almighty God' having seen their sufferings and heardtheir cries for help and succour, thought fit to send other

7'prophets amongst His people to teach them the Divinetruths which the ambitious rulers of the world had blottedout from the writings of His ancient prophets. So that,notwithstanding the attempts to stifleorput down the asser tions which God hath made respecting the manifestation ofHis will to the people in all ages, yet prophets really andtruly did re-appear, and whose writings, to this day, beartestimony of the fact. For instead of the doctrines taught in them being selfish, one-sided, and tyrannical, theybreatheforth a truthful and holy doctrine of charity, justice, andbrotherlylove. Amongst the several prophets ofthe modernages, whose writings are now reverenced by thousands inthe different nations of Europe and America, and whosewritings have for their foundation charity, unity, freedom,and love, is the Swedish prophet, Emanuel Swedberg, orSwedenborg, whose writings are largely distributed over theface of Europe, attracting many followers bn account of thecharitable doctrines therein taught, and I, having receivedcommands from the Highest Power, to make enquiriesrespecting his works, from his own spirit, for the guidanceand instruction of those who endeavour to carry out hisprinciples, was instructed to declare to the world thatSwedenborg was a good man, but that his works containederrors in connexion with the state of a spiritual existence,and the spheres of immortality, although such errors werenot wilful, his works being written partly from truthful ex perience, and partly from imagination. Still, the principaldoctrines taught as a guide to man, in mortal existence, arein accordance with the Divine will of God, whose truthfulservant he was; and, although there are errors in his de scriptions of the spiritual spheres, nevertheless, he fulfilledthe mission for which he was ordained, by proving to theworld the reality of an hereafter existence, and paving theway for a further development of God’s glory, which, at thattime, was all that was necessary, the time not having thenarrived when the great events, which are now near at hand,were necessary to be revealed. Therefore, that the peoplemay no longer be deluded by the erroneousstatements com-

8pounded by the fertile imagination, as to the state of manafter death, and the flight of their spirits from life toimmor tality, I have been commanded to insert the revelationswhich the spirit of the said Emanuel Swedenborg will give,respecting the statements given in his works, by permissionand command of the Highest Power. First describing inhis own words, his experience in the pangs of death, theflight of the spirit, its entrance and occupation in the firstsphere after death, and progress to that place which hisspirit now inhabits, with celestial revelations confirmingwhatever statements he may make. Having now shown thereal object for which this work is intended, I will here in troduce the spirit of Emanuel Swedenborg, as he appearedwhen called. I, therefore, at a meeting of friends, some ofwhom had been great readers of his works,, and diligentseekers after truth, and they having had much practice, andseen much imposition in the working or pretensions madethrough the Crystal, by persons whose whole study wasfraud and deception for the sake of gain, was requested bythe said persons, whose names can be given, if required,that they might be present when the spirit of. Swedenborgwas called; and, being utterly ignorant of the doctrineswhich he taught, having never seen orheard his works read,although I knew that there were thousands of persous whoendeavoured to follow out his doctrines, I deemed it neces sary that personswho were well versedinbis writings shouldbe present, more particularly as my instructions from thecelestial powers, were to compile this work to shew forththetruths and errors which are set. forth in his doctrines,; byrevelations from the spirit of the said Swedenborg himself,who would be commanded to give truthful declarations re specting the same. I accordingly, in the presence of theaforesaid persons, used the necessary, invocations for thesummoning of.aerial spirits, and, in due time, the visionmanifested itself unto me, as.follows:— : .After the intense darkness, which usually precedes .the,vision, had cleared off, I perceived the figure of, a-mandressed in a long loose grey garment, which entirely en-;
