The antichrist and the apocalyptic beast
of the Heavens , which does not consist of outer display , but is within the heart of the perfect soul , for in this way the soul becomes a creator , similar to Me , of his blissful abode where eternally no personal devil will be able to come in .
[ 5 ] And so also already on this Earth , it is unimportant for a pure and out of Me strong soul to know where a little or big dwelling place for personal devils is located , because the pure and out of Me strong soul carries his Heaven everywhere in and with himself , just like the personal devil carries his Hell or his judgment .
[ 6 ] But because we are talking about this subject anyway , I want to show you more precisely the places which are specifically inhabited by personal devils . So listen .
[ 7 ] Look at the people in those public houses and buildings where much deceitful business is carried out like for instance now in the temple and in many other business houses . These are also special habitations for the many personal devils . So also the houses in which all kinds of fornication , prostitution and adultery are committed are also special habitations where personal devils are residing . So also those mountains and holes where people with haste and lust are digging for gold , silver and other treasures of the Earth are places where personal devils are residing in great numbers . So also the forests and holes where thieves , robbers and murderers are residing . So also the army camps and battle fields , the roads of the merchant caravans and the rivers , lakes and seas where a great profitable business is carried out .
[ 8 ] And further , the landed properties and pieces of land , pastures , fields , vineyards and forests of hard-hearted heathens , as well as of the rich , stingy and hard-hearted Jews are special favorite dwelling places for personal devils . And also the air above and in the indicated dwelling places , and the fire , the clouds and the rain , and also all idolatry temples and false oracles .
[ 9 ] Further , personal devils can be found in great numbers where you can see great earthly presentations of pomp and with that the still related pride .
[ 10 ] However , on places that are not inhabited by men and are also not polluted by their sins , the personal devils are not residing , except in the case when a caravan of people , lusting for worldly gain , would travel through it . Because of those people , the personal devils would then soon feel well at home .
[ 11 ] Now friend , you have heard that which you still wanted to hear from Me and which you wanted to know for yourself .
[ 12 ] And for which reason the personal devils are fond of the named places is obvious for the one who has somehow understood what has preceded , and does not need any further explanation .”
