9358. On every other planet God's truth is made plain by spirits and angels who speak to its inhabitants face to face, as has been stated in previous sections in which the inhabitants of planets in our solar system were the subject. But this takes place within families, for the human race on the majority of planets lives divided up according to families. For this reason Divine Truth revealed in this way by means of spirits and angels is not disseminated very far beyond the families; and unless repeatedly there are new, superseding revelations it is either perverted or else perishes. It is different on our planet, where God's truth, which is the Word, remains forever unimpaired.
