Chapter XLV Summary
People who deny the name of the dwelling of the holy ones and the Lord of Spirits will not go to heaven or stay on earth. They will be saved for a day of suffering and tribulation. On that day, the chosen one will sit on a throne of glory. He will judge their works. The chosen ones and those who called on the Lord's name will have many places to rest. Their souls will grow strong when they see the chosen ones. The chosen one will live among them. Heaven will be transformed into an eternal blessing and light. The earth will be transformed into a blessing. The chosen ones will live on it, but sinners and evil-doers will not. The righteous ones will have peace and live before the Lord. The sinners will face judgement and be destroyed from the earth.
This is the second explanation about those who reject the home of the holy ones and the Lord of Spirits.
2Those who have denied the name of the Lord of Spirits will not ascend into heaven or come to earth. This will be the fate of the sinners, who are kept for the day of suffering and trouble.
3On that day, My chosen ones will sit on the throne of glory and judge everyone's actions. There will be countless places of rest for them. Their spirits will become strong when they see My chosen ones and those who have called out to My glorious name.
4I will make my chosen one live among them. I will change the sky and make it a blessing that lasts forever and a source of light.
5I will change the earth and make it a place of blessing. I will let my chosen ones live there, but those who do evil will not be allowed to step on it.
6I have given peace and satisfaction to my righteous ones and have made them live in my presence. But for the sinners, I have a judgment ready, so I will remove them from the earth.
