Excerpt from The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine: As Revealed From Heaven; Translated From the Latin Doctrine not only teaches this, but innumerable things beside, of which not a thousandth part is known at this day. The whole sacred scripture is nothing else than the doctrine of love and charity, which the Lord also teaches, saying, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and in thy whole soul, and in thy whole mind; this is the primary and great commandment; the second is like unto it; thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
