THE • NEW • CHURCH—WHAT
13
Jesus is clearly seen to be the only God of heaven and earth, and as such He will be worshiped in the New Church. The Lord will be worshiped in the New Church as He is by the angels in heaven.
Though the New Church is distinct as a church, it does not come in antagonism to former churches, but it is supplemental. It comes as the Lord did, not to do away with the law, but to fulfil the law. It is established in fulfillment of prophecy, and is described in the Word as the New Jerusalem, which John saw descending from God out of heaven. It is called by a new name, "New Jerusalem," which the Lord hath named. The name of this last new church is, therefore, the Church of the New Jerusalem.
