Truth of Heaven, the Hell, and the Spirit World
Being rich is being evil, according to the words of Christ Jesus. Therefore, it is very difficult for rich men to enter into Heaven like a camel going through the eye of a needle. But, the Pope and priests of other churches never proclaim this teaching at the start and the end of every Mass. Rather, each of them looks like one of rich men.
Therefore, it is natural that the God and Christ Jesus get angry. And, it is no wonder that the God has sent an angel of death with the coronavirus to this rotten, corrupt, and degraded world.
But, you may wonder why being rich is being evil to the degree that a rich man is condemned to the hell? And, you may also wonder why the Vatican and other churches do not aim to become poor as much as possible, so that they compete about poverty?In this context, the poorest man in the world in any era should be the first man to be admitted into Heaven in the era. Or, you can only prove your faith in the God and Christ Jesus by the degree of your poverty. So, Heaven is the place with full of poor men, but the hell must be the place with full of rich men. Yet, those poor men should turn to rich men in Heaven while those rich men should turn to poor men in the hell. Poor men in this world will become rich in Heaven while rich men in this world will become poor in the hell.
But, rich men would spontaneously go to the hell while poor men would avoid the hell and be accepted in Heaven. If rich men tried to enter into Heaven, they could not bear the light of love, truth, and goodness overflowing Heaven. Rich men should be happy avoiding the light of Heaven while poor men should be happy basking in the light in Heaven.
Those who were rich in this world can fully expose and exercise in the hell their characters and dispositions with love of being evil to others and exercising evil to others without fear of worldly laws and punishments and concerns about social restrictions. They think that they can fully dominate and harm others in the hell without being afraid of what people will say and judge about them. In other words, they try to be evil as much as possible in the hell, since no punishments come to them from the God. Accordingly, those who were rich in this world would spontaneously and joyfully go to the hell.
This truth tells that what rich men love is ultimately being evil more than simply being rich. They hate the God, Christ Jesus, love, truth, goodness, etc. Satan is their symbol, king, and god. They punish one another when they try to be good to any degree. They must feel extreme happiness when they exercise evil and harm others. Yet, they know there is wealth or something good in Heaven, so that they try to invade Heaven with violence and deceit only in vain.
These are the states in Heaven and the hell, according to Christ Jesus. This is the state in the spiritual world as Swedenborg wrote. And, this must be the truth men should know or know vaguely subject to their instincts.

Revelation 11, King James Version
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
