1318. 'And now they will not be held back from anything which they have thought of doing' means unless their state is now altered. This becomes clear from what follows. The internal sense of the Word is such that it looks continually to the things that follow, and the conclusion, although this is not so apparent in the literal sense. The kind of people described above are not held back from what they think of doing unless their state is altered The fact that their state was indeed altered is clear from what follows. To think of doing something is nothing else than intention, that is, the end in view And the end a person has in view cannot possibly be held back, that is, altered unless his state is altered. For, as has been stated, a person's end in view is his very life. When his state is altered so is the end in view, and along with that end the thought as well. What kind of a change of state took place among the members of this Church will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated later on.
