113. VIII

THE REASONS WHY THE LORD CHOSE TO BE BORN IN OUR WORLD AND NOT IN ANOTHER

There are many reasons, as I was informed from heaven, why the Lord was pleased to be born and take on human nature in our world and not in another. THE CHIEF CAUSE was for the sake of the Word, which could thus be written in our world; and having been written, could be circulated throughout the world; and once circulated, could be preserved for all posterity, thus enabling it to be made plain that God became man, even to all in the next life.
