THE RESURRECTION
(pt. 3)
[The] continuation of life [after the death of the body of the spirit of man appearing in human form in the spiritual world] is meant by the resurrection. The reason why men believe that they will not rise again before the Last Judgment, when the whole visible world will perish, is because they have not understood the Word, and because sensual men place all their life in the body, and believe that unless this shall live again, it will be all over with the man.
(The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine 226)
