A very scarce work recording a series of revelations received by Emanuel Swedenborg [1688-1772] and published originally in 1758. In the present, he communicates detailed information about the nature of "alien" life on Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, the Moon and the "Five Earths."
Perhaps most interestingly, he describes the nature of aliens as angels, etc., and why the incarnation of Christ is a unique event in the history of our earth, etc.
