1ST TESTIMONY

2 Corinthians 12:2: “I know a man in Christ who 14 years ago—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up as far as the third heaven.”

We were in the room, when we had the first experience. The room started to fill again with a light from the presence of the Lord. It was so powerful that it lit up the entire room. The room was full of His glory, it was beautiful to be before Him.

Jesus told us, “My sons, now I will show you My Kingdom, we will go to My Glory.” We took each other’s hands and were lifted up. I looked down and noticed that we were going out of our own bodies. As we left our bodies we were dressed with white robes and started to go up at a very high speed.

We arrived in front of a pair of doors which was the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven. We were astonished at what was happening to us. Thankfully, Jesus the Son of God was there with us, along with two angels who each had four wings.

The angels began to talk to us, but we didn’t understand what they were saying. Their language was very different from ours, neither was it like any Earthly language. These angels were welcoming us and they opened those immense doors. We saw a wonderful place, with many different things. When we came inside, a perfect peace filled our hearts. The Bible tells us that God would give us peace that surpasses all human understanding (Philippians 4:7).

The first thing I saw was a deer, so I asked one of my friends, “Sandra, are you looking at the same thing I am looking at?” She was no longer crying or shouting anymore, as when we were shown Hell. She was smiling and said: “Yes Esau, I am looking at a deer!” Then I knew that everything was real, we were really in the Kingdom of Heaven. All the horrors that we saw in Hell were soon forgotten. We were there enjoying the glory of God. We went to where the deer was, behind it stood an absolutely huge tree! It was in the center of the paradise.

The Bible tells us in Revelation 2:7: “Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. I will grant the victor to eat from the tree of life that stands in the paradise of God.”

This tree is a symbol of Jesus, because Christ is Eternal Life. Behind the tree was a river of crystalline water. It was so clear and beautiful, like we never had seen before on Earth. We just wanted to stay in that place. Many times we said to the Lord, “Lord please! Do not take us out of this place! We want to be here forever! We don’t want to go back to Earth!” The Lord answered us, “It is necessary that you go back to give testimony of all the things that I have prepared for those who love Me because I am coming back very soon and My reward is with Me.”

When we saw the river, we hurried there and got inside of it. We remembered the scripture that says that whoever believes in the Lord, from his belly shall run rivers of living water (John 7:38). The water from this river seemed to have life in itself, so we immersed ourselves in it. Inside and outside of the water we could breathe normally. That river was very deep and there were many different colors of fish swimming in it. The light inside and out of the river was normal; in Heaven light did not come from a specific source, everything was just brightly lit up. The Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus is the light of that city (Revelations 21:23).

With our hands, we took some of the fish out of the water; they didn’t die. So we ran to the Lord and asked Him why. The Lord smiled and answered that in Heaven there is no more death, no more crying, and no more pain (Revelations 21:4).

We left the river and ran to every place we could find, we wanted to touch and experience everything. We wanted to bring everything back home with us, because we were so amazed at the things in Heaven. They simply cannot be explained sufficiently with words. When the Apostle Paul was taken to Heaven, he saw things that he could never explain with words, because of the greatness of the things in the Kingdom of Heaven (2 Corinthians 12). There are things we saw that we have almost no way of describing.

We then came to a very immense area; a very wonderful and beautiful place. This place was full of precious stones: gold, emeralds, rubies and diamonds. The floor was made of pure gold. We then went to a place where there were three very large books. The first one was a Bible made of gold. In Psalms it tells us that the Word of God is eternal and that the Word of God remains in Heaven forever (Psalms 119:89). We were looking at a huge golden Bible; the pages, the scripture, everything was made of pure gold.

The second book we saw was bigger than the Bible. It was open and an angel was sitting there writing inside the book. Together with the Lord Jesus we got closer to see what the angel was writing. The angel was writing all of the things that were happening on the Earth. Everything that has happened; including the date, the hour, everything is recorded there. This is done so the Word of the Lord can be fulfilled where it says that the Books were opened, and that the people on the Earth were judged according to their works that were written in those books (Revelations 20:12). The angel was writing all the things that people were doing here on Earth, good or bad, as it is written.

We continued to the place where the third book was. It was even bigger than the last book! The book was closed, but we got closer to it. All seven of us together took the book down from its stand, according to command of the Lord, and we put it on a pillar.

The pillars and columns in Heaven are so wonderful! They are not made like the ones on the Earth. The columns were like a braid, they were made of different precious stones. Some were made of diamonds, others were made of pure emeralds, others were made of pure gold, and others were made of a combination of many different types of stones. I then understood that God really is the owner of all things, as it is written in Haggai 2:8, “The gold is mine, and silver is mine.” I understood that God is absolutely rich and He owns all the riches in the world. I also understood that the world in all its fullness belongs to our God, and He wants to give it to all those who ask in faith.

The Lord said, “Ask me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance” (Psalms 2:8). This book that we put on the column was so big that in order to turn a page we had to walk each page to the other side of the book. We tried to read what was in that book, as the Lord asked us. At first, it was difficult to read because it was written in strange characters that we could not understand. It was different from any Earthly language; it was something totally Heavenly. But with the help of the Holy Ghost, we were given the grace to understand it. It was like a bandage was taken off our eyes and we could then understand the writing; as clear as our own language.

We could see that all seven of our names were written in the book. The Lord told us that it was the Book of Life (Revelations 3:5). We noted that the names written in the book were not the names we were called on Earth; these names were new, so the Word of God can be fulfilled when it says that He would give us a new name that no one else knows but the person who receives it (Revelations 2:17).

In Heaven, we were able to pronounce our names, but once the Lord brought us back to Earth those names were taken from our memories and our hearts. The Word of God is eternal, and it has to be fulfilled. My friends, the Bible says, (Revelations 3:11) “Don’t let anyone take your crown, do not let anyone remove that place that the Father has ready for you.” In Heaven, there are millions of things that are wonderful, we just can’t express it with our mouths. But I want to tell you something, “God is waiting for you!” However it is only the people that persevere until the end, who will be saved! (Mark 13:13).

2ND TESTIMONY

When we started to go up to the Kingdom of Heaven, we came to a beautiful place with precious doors. In front of the doors were two angels. They started to talk, but their speech was angelical and we could not understand what they were saying. But the Holy Ghost gave us understanding. They were welcoming us. The Lord Jesus put His hands on the doors and they opened. If Jesus were not with us, we would never have been able to come inside Heaven.

We began to appreciate everything in Heaven. We saw a huge tree, the Bible describes this tree as the “Tree of Life” (Revelation 2:7). We went to a river, and saw a lot of fish inside. Everything was so amazing that my friends and I decided to go inside the water. We began to swim under that water. We saw the fish moving around and they caressed our bodies. They didn’t swim away as normally happens on Earth; the presence of the Lord calmed the fish. The fish could trust us because they knew that we were not going to harm them. I was so blessed and marveled that I grabbed one of the fish and took it out of the water. What was so amazing was that the fish was very quiet, enjoying the presence of the Lord even in my hands. I put the fish back into the water.

I could see in the distance that there were white horses in Heaven, as it is written in the Word of God in Revelation 19:11: “Then I saw heaven open and a white horse appeared. Its rider is called Faithful and True; justly He judges and wages war.” Those horses were the ones that the Lord will use when He comes to the Earth to take His people, His church. I walked to the horses and began to pat them. The Lord followed me and allowed me to ride one of them.

When I started to ride, I felt something that I had never felt before on Earth. I began to experience the peace, the freedom, the love, the holiness that a person can have in that beautiful place. I started to enjoy everything that my eyes could see. I just wanted to enjoy everything in that beautiful paradise that the Lord has prepared for us.

We also could see the wedding banquet table, everything was already served. It had no beginning or end. We saw the chairs prepared for us. There were also crowns of eternal life that are ready to be taken by us. We saw delicious foods that are already set, for all of those that will be invited to the Wedding of the Lamb.

Angels were there with some white cloth for the cloaks that the Lord is preparing for us. I was amazed looking at all these things. The Word of God tells us that we have to receive the Kingdom of God like little children (Matthew 18:3). When we were in Heaven, we were like children.

We started to enjoy everything there; the flowers, the residences... the Lord even allowed us to go inside the residences.

Then God took us to a place that had many children. The Lord was in the middle of them and He started to play with them. He made sure to spend enough time with each of them and He enjoyed being with them. We got close to the Lord and asked Him, “Lord are these children the ones who are going to be born on Earth?” The Lord answered, “No, these children are the ones who were aborted on the Earth.” Upon hearing that, I felt something inside of me that made me shake.

I remembered something I had done in the past, when I did not know the Lord. At that time, I was in a relationship with a woman and she got pregnant. When she told me she was pregnant, I did not know what to do so I asked her for some time to make a decision. Time passed and when I went to her to tell my decision, it was already too late because she already had an abortion. That marked my life. Even after I accepted the Lord in my heart, that abortion was something that I could not forgive myself of. But God did something that day. He allowed me to enter that place and told me, “Ariel, do you see that girl that is there? That girl is your daughter.”

When He told me that, I saw the girl. I felt the wound I had in my soul for such a long time start to heal. The Lord allowed me to walk close to her and she got close to me. I took her in my hands and saw her eyes. One word I heard from her lips: “Daddy.” I understood and I felt that God had mercy on me and had forgiven me, but I had to learn to forgive myself.

Dear friend, whoever reads this, I want to tell you one thing: God has already forgiven your sins, now you have to learn to forgive yourself. I give thanks to God for allowing me to share this testimony with you. Lord Jesus Christ, I give You the honor and glory! This testimony is of the Lord, He allowed us to receive this revelation. I hope that each one of our brothers that reads this testimony shall also receive the blessing of this testimony and take it to bless many others.

God bless you.

3RD TESTIMONY

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

THE VALLEY OF FLOWERS

When we arrived, these big doors were opened for us, and I started to see a valley full of flowers. The flowers were beautiful and their smell was exquisite. We started to walk and experience a total freedom like we had never felt on the Earth. We felt a peace that filled our hearts and while we looked at the flowers we noticed that they were unique; each petal was different, genuine, and had a unique color.

Inside my heart, I said to my Lord that I wanted to have a flower like one of these. The Lord gave an expression of agreement, I got close to a flower and started to pull it. But nothing happened, I could not pull the flower out of the ground. I couldn't even pull the petals or leaves off of the flower. Then the Lord broke the silence and said, "Here everything must be done in love." He touched the flower and it surrendered itself to the hand of the Lord. He then gave it to us. We continued walking and the smell from the flowers was still with us.

THE ROBES OF THE REDEEMED

We arrived at a place with a set of very beautiful doors. These doors were not simple, they were very ornate in their craftsmanship and had precious stones engraved on them. The doors opened and we entered into a room with many people. Everybody was running here and there making preparations. Some of them carried rolls of shining white cloth over their shoulders, others were carrying spindles of golden thread, and yet others were taking some kind of plates with something like shields inside them. Everyone was running with effort.

We asked the Lord why there was so much effort and hurry. Then Lord bid a young man to come close. This man had a roll of cloth on his shoulders. He came and looked at the Lord, reverently. When the Lord asked him why he was carrying that roll of cloth, he just looked at the Lord and said, "Lord you know what this cloth is for! This cloth is used to make the robes of the redeemed, the robes for the great Bride."

Upon hearing this, we felt a great joy and peace.

Revelation 19:8 tells us: “And it has been granted to her to be dressed in pure, resplendent linen. For the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.”

When we came out of that place we felt even more peace, because it was beautiful to see that the Lord Himself was making something nice for us. He has the place and the time for you because you are important to Him. When we came out of that place, our eyes got lost in every detail in Heaven. It's like each thing had life in itself, and every object there was giving glory to God.

THE CHILDREN OF HEAVEN

Then we came to a place where there were millions and millions of children, of all ages. When they saw the Lord, all of them wanted to hug Him, to feel more of His love, because He was their passion. Jesus was the passion of each child there. We felt like crying after seeing how the Lord spoiled each one of these children, how He kissed them and held their hands.

We saw how angels got close to the Lord, bringing Him babies wrapped in linen. The Lord caressed, touched, and gave them a kiss on their foreheads and then the angels took them back with them. We asked the Lord why there were so many children there, were those children going to be sent to the Earth. The Lord sounded touched for a moment, and He said, "No, these children will not be sent to the Earth! These are the ones that were aborted on the Earth, whose parents don't want to have them. These are my children and I love them."

THE ABORTED CHILD

When I didn't know the Lord, the true Life that He is, I made mistakes and sinned like everybody else. Among those sins was an abortion I had. There was a moment where I had to be face to face with the Lord and ask Him, "Lord, is the baby I aborted, long ago, here?"

The Lord answered, "Yes."

I started walking to one of the sides and I saw a beautiful little boy. Close to his feet stood an angel. The angel was looking at the Lord, and the boy had his back facing us.

The Lord told me, "Look, there is your boy." I wanted to see him so I ran over to him, but the angel stopped me with his hand. He showed me that I had to listen to the boy first. I started to hear what the little boy was saying. He was talking and looking in the direction of the other children. He asked the angel, "Are my daddy and my mommy coming here soon?" The angel, looking at me, answered to him, "Yes, your daddy and your mommy are just about to come."

I do not know why I was given the privilege of hearing these words, but in my heart I knew that these words were the best gift that the Lord could give to me. This little one was not talking with anger, or pain, maybe knowing that we did not let him be born. He was simply waiting with the love that God had placed in his heart.

We continued walking, but I kept the image of that boy in my heart. I know that each day I have to make an effort to be able to be with him one day. I have one more reason to go there, because someone is waiting for me in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Isaiah 65:19 says: “I too will rejoice over Jerusalem and will delight in My people. No more will there be heard in her the voice of weeping or the voice of crying.”

THE DANCE OF JESUS

We came to a place with some small mountains, and the Lord Jesus came dancing. In front of Him was a crowd of people dressed in white robes and they lifted their hands with green olive branches. When they waved the branches in the air, they released oil.

God has great things prepared for you! Now is the time for you to put your heart before Him.

God bless you.

4TH TESTIMONY

1 Corinthians 2:9 "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, neither has the human heart thought of what God has prepared for those who love Him."

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

In the Kingdom of Heaven, we saw wonderful things as it is written in the Word of God. When we arrived at the Kingdom of Heaven it was so spectacular and wonderful to see so many things; so many big things and to feel the glory of the Lord. It was so special; a place with lots of children. We could say that there were millions of children in that place.

THE CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHING

We saw children of different ages. Heaven was divided into sections. We saw some kind of baby-house that sheltered kids aged 2–4. We also noticed that the children in the Kingdom of Heaven grow up and there was a school where the children are taught the Word of God. The teachers are angels and they teach the children worship songs and how to glorify the Lord Jesus.

THE JOY OF THE LORD AND MARY

When the Lord arrived, we could see the immense joy of our King. Even though we could not see His face, we could see His smile, it filled the entire place. When He arrived, all the children ran to Him!

In the middle of all those children, we could see Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ on Earth. She was a beautiful woman. We did not see her on a throne and neither was anyone worshiping her. She was there as one of the other women in Heaven, like all other people on Earth she had to win her salvation. She had a white robe and a golden belt around her waist, and her hair reached down to her waist.

On Earth, we have listened to many people as they worship Mary as the mother of Jesus, but I want to tell you that the Word of God says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Me." (John 14:6) The only entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven is Jesus of Nazareth.

THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN

We also noticed there was no Sun or Moon. The Word of God tells us in Revelation 22:5: "And night shall be no more; they will need neither lamplight nor sunlight, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever."

We could see the glory of God. We find it difficult to explain the horrors we saw in hell, but it is even more difficult to try to explain the celestial things we saw and the perfection of our Maker. When we were there, we wanted to run and see everything. We could lay down on the grass, and we could feel the glory of God. That soft whistle, that soft wind that caressed our faces, it was something wonderful.

THE GOLDEN CROSS

In the middle of the sky, we could see a huge cross made of pure gold. We believe that this was not a symbol of idolatry but more like a symbol showing that through the death of Jesus on the cross, we have entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven.

THE LOVE OF JESUS

We continued walking in Heaven. It was fascinating to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. There we could know for sure who is the God that we are serving… Jesus of Nazareth. Many of us on Earth think there is a God up there, just waiting for us to commit a sin, so He can punish us and send us to hell. But that is not reality. We could see the other face of Jesus—a Jesus that is a friend; a Jesus that cries when you cry. Jesus is a God of love, compassion and mercy; He takes us in His hands to help us continue in the way of salvation.

MEETING KING DAVID

The Lord Jesus also allowed us to meet a person from the Bible. We met King David, the King David mentioned in the Scriptures. He was a good looking man, tall, and his face reflected the Glory of God. The whole time we were in the Kingdom of Heaven, the only thing that King David did was dance, dance, dance and give all the glory and the honor to God.

THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE

To those who are reading this testimony, I want to tell you that in the Word of God it says in Revelation 21:27: "But nothing unclean nor anyone practicing immorality and falsehood shall ever enter it, but only those whose names have been recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life." And I also want to tell you that only the brave ones take hold of the Kingdom of Heaven.

God bless you.

5TH TESTIMONY

2 Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, so that each may receive as his due what he practiced while in the body, whether good or bad."

THE NEW JERUSALEM

In the Kingdom of Heaven, we could see the New Jerusalem which the Bible tells us about in John 14:2: "In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If this were not so, I would have told you. For I am going away to prepare a place for you." We could see the city and enter it; it is a real and wonderful city! Jesus went there to prepare those dwelling places for us.

In the city we could see that each residence or house had the owner's name written in front of the house. This city is not yet inhabited, but it is ready for us. We were allowed to go inside the houses and see all the things inside. But later when we left the city, we forgot the things we saw, those memories were taken away from us. However, we can remember that the columns of the houses are plated with precious metals and have many different types of precious stones encrusted in them. They also have pure gold in them.

The gold of this city is like the Bible describes; it is almost transparent, and so shiny. The gold on Earth cannot be compared in luster and beauty to the gold that is in Heaven.

THE TEARS OF THE SAINTS

After this, we were taken to a place that had lots of containers. Inside those containers were crystallized tears. Those were the tears that the sons of God shed on the Earth. They were not tears of complaints, but tears that people shed when they are in the presence of God; tears of repentance, tears of gratitude. God keeps these tears as a precious treasure in Heaven, just like it is mentioned in Psalms 56:8: "Thou takest note of my roaming; and put my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?"

THE ANGELS OF GOD

We also came to a place where many, many angels were. Although in Heaven we could see many different types of angels, this place had just one special type. We saw that Jesus has a specific angel for each person. He also showed us that this angel will be close to us during our entire existence. He introduced us to the angels assigned to us. We got to see their characteristics, but God told us that we are not allowed to reveal these things to others.

We read in Psalms 91:11: "For He gives His angels orders regarding you, to protect you wherever you go."

THE FLOWERS OF LIFE

We came to a place with many lockers, within them were many different flowers. Some flowers were open, beautiful and radiant. But others were droopy, and some were even shriveled. We asked Jesus what the meaning of all those flowers were.

He answered, "It is because the life of each of you is like one of these flowers." He took one of the radiant flowers and said, "This flower shows the condition of the communion that you have with Me." He left that flower and took another one that was down. He said, "Look, this person is down because they are having a trial, or a difficulty. There is something in this life that is interrupting the communion with Me. Do you know what I do with these flowers when they are down in order to make them brilliant and healthy again?"

He then took the flower in His hand and said, "I shed my tears over them and I raise them up." We saw how in a powerful way this flower began to have life again and raise up, and its colors began to appear again.

Then He took one of the shriveled flowers and He threw it into the fire and said, "Look, this person had known Me and walked away from Me. Now he dies without me and it is thrown to the fire." (John 15:5–6)

THE CASTLE OF GOD’S PRESENCE

When we left there, we saw a beautiful castle very far in the distance. Nobody dared to get close to that castle, and we believe that is what the Scriptures talk about in Revelation 22:1: "He then showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing forth from the throne of God and of the Lamb." We believe that the castle was probably located near the presence and throne of God.

JOY AND PEACE IN HEAVEN

While experiencing all these things in the Kingdom of Heaven, we had so much joy in our hearts, we had a peace that passes all understanding. (Philippians 4:7) We understood as it is written in 1 Peter 1:4: "To an inheritance imperishable, unsullied, and unfading that is kept safely in heaven for you."

5TH TESTIMONY

(Luke 22:30) "That ye may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

In that marvelous place, God allowed us to see the most beautiful reception hall that we ever thought could exist anywhere in the universe. We saw a giant throne with two chairs of pure gold and precious stones that do not exist on Earth. In front of the throne was a table that had no end, covered with a white tablecloth. It was so white that we couldn't compare it to anything on Earth.

THE FEAST OF HEAVEN

All manner of exquisite and refined foods was set on the table. We saw grapes the size of oranges, and the Lord Jesus Christ let us taste some of them. We still can remember their taste, it was something so wonderful! My brother and friend, you can't imagine all the things that are ready in the Kingdom of Heaven and what God has already prepared for you. (1 Corinthians 2:9)

Also on the table, God allowed us to see the bread, the “Manna.” This was the bread of God that the Scriptures tell us about. We were allowed to enjoy the taste along with many other wonderful things that don't even exist on Earth.

THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS

These things are waiting for us as our incorruptible inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven. We will enjoy some amazingly exquisite and delicious foods when we inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. We were amazed that the chairs were set on both sides of the table. These beautiful chairs had names written on each one. We could clearly read our names on those chairs, but our names were not the same ones we have here on Earth. They were the new names that nobody else knew but ourselves. (Revelation 2:17)

What was written in the Word of God surprised us: "Do not rejoice that the demons submit to you, rejoice because your names are written in Heaven." (Luke 10:20) There were a lot of chairs! There is enough space for all of those who want to come to the Kingdom of Heaven.

THE WARNINGS OF THE LORD

There were also chairs that were taken away from the table. That means there are men and women who got tired of serving God, and their names were erased from the Book of Life, and they are set away from the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

MEETING ABRAHAM

God also allowed us to see men from the Bible, the wonderful saints that we read about in Scriptures. We were surprised to see Abraham. Abraham was an elder, but not in his body or appearance. He was an elder by the wisdom that he had. Abraham's hair was totally white, but each hair was like glass filaments or diamond filaments. What surprised us the most was that he was even younger than we are. In Heaven, all of us will rejuvenate and be young.

We were also surprised by his words. Abraham told us something that we will never forget. He welcomed us to the Kingdom of Heaven and told us that soon we would be in that place, because the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is approaching quickly.

The Hierarchy of Angels and Demons

The speaker describes a spiritual vision where an angel takes them to heaven’s Hall of Renewal and Hall of Armor, preparing them for battle against evil. They then meet Archangel Michael, who shows them the highly organized hierarchy of hell, led by the “infernal trinity” (Lucifer, Belub, and Abad the Destroyer), followed by kings, princes, dukes, marquises, presidents, and horsemen. Michael contrasts this with the organization of heaven, where angels—seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominions, virtues, archangels, and guardian angels—worship and serve God. The testimony ends with a call for believers to worship God in spirit and truth and trust that His angels protect and fight for them.

Hello, good morning everyone. The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. May God bless you, keep you, lift you up, empower you wherever you are. Without further ado, you who are watching me right now, watching this video, subscribe to the channel, turn on all notifications, like it, which is very important. I'll share my experience from Wednesday.

THE HALL OF RENEWAL

Well, when the apostle ministered about my life, the angel who accompanies me appeared before me, he took me to heaven, and there he took me to the hall of renewal, and he renewed my strength in that city of renewal. Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 41:1.

And from there he took me to the hall of armor and he said today you would put on a new armor. The armor you will receive here means that is when you put it on the demons the principalities cannot see you and therefore I am to put on you this armor. But today I am not going to take you on an experience. I am only preparing you for an encounter with another angel after wearing the armor of God.

That was when the angel Michael, Archangel Michael, introduced himself and said he would take me on the experience and asked if I was ready for that experience. And I said I was. I was ready. And and just like that, in the blink of an eye, we were already in hell. And Archangel Michael said, "Today you'll learn about the demonic hierarchy. Did you know it exists? Did you know about that?" Just as there's a hierarchy of angels in heaven, Satan also wanted to imitate the Lord in hell. And here he does just that. He wanted to imitate heaven. He would never do otherwise.

THE INFERNAL TRINITY

And I'll only tell you the names of the three greatest principalities in hell. I won't name the others, but I'll explain how they work. There are seven levels. I'll only tell you the names of the three, which is the infernal trinity. And I was surprised when he said trinity. I said, "My God, trinity." And Michael said, "Yes, Trinity, just as there's a trinity in heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.." Satan also wanted to imitate that these are the greatest principalities here in hell, which are Lucifer, Belub, and Abad the destroyer.

These are the emperors of hell. They rule all of hell. They rule the entire area of hell. Above them is only Lucifer and right behind him the other two and I thought it was very powerful and he took me to these three demons and at that very moment the three of them were gathered together already scheming about what to do because they are the ones who command the other demons they always have to meet to strategize and Michael said this is just the beginning now we're going to walk a little further here in hell and I'll show you the kings and there I was like these kings Weren't they supposed to be the bosses here in hell? And Michael said, "No, the kings are below the emperors. You'll understand soon enough." And I said, "Amen."

Then when we arrived at a certain place in hell, I saw like nine chairs very close together. And there I saw those demons arriving. I saw them sitting on their thrones. And right there in that place, I saw the three demons that are now the trinity as if they were having a meeting with the nine kings of hell. It was the trinity meeting with the kings of hell. Michael said, "These are the nine kings of hell. They are below the trinity. They are the only ones that have the right to contact the trinity for hell to function. These go to the trinity to talk about events. They hold their meetings to devise strategies. Each of them commands a legion of demons. You'll understand." And here in these meetings they plan everything that will happen. Everything they want to do all their plans for humanity for the churches. Here in these meetings everything is planned there.

I was paying attention to that observing that meeting by the Lord's permission there in hell. It's one of the places I least like to be in my experiences. But I know that every time the Lord takes me, it's for me to teach the church something.

THE PRINCES AND PRINCESSES OF HELL

The angel told me, "Now you're going to see the princes and princesses of hell. You knew there were princesses, right? Female demons." Yes, I knew. I knew there were females demon. But princesses of hell, that's new to me. And then Michael said, "Yes, Satan is cunning. He would never name the hierarchies he has here in hell. He wants to imitate heaven. And the princes and princesses of hell will be beautiful, too. There are seven princes and princesses in hell. They are representatives of the kings and queens and they are there at all times waiting for the command of the kings and queens. The command that the trinity gives to the kings and queens is passed on to the princes and princesses so that they pass on to the dukes who are commanded by the princes and princesses and the dukes who are leaders of the legions. The kings pass on to the princes and princesses and the princes and princesses pass on to the dukes who gather with their legions of demons. Each duke has a legion of demons. There are many dukes because each one commands legions. That's why they are many. There are 22. And each one commands a legion. You know there are many millions. But each one has its own duke, its own leader. Then they devise a strategy for these legions to spread out, each one in its own specific area on earth."

And from there, we went to another area of hell where the Marquises are staying. Just like the Dukes, the Marquises also command legions. There are 13 Marquises. Each one also has their own legion of demons. Each one has their own team. And I was like, my God, I was really impressed with their organization there. Michael said, "Yes, many demons are many demons. Legions of demons are many demons and they are under the command of the dukes and marquises and they are very organized. Hell is very organized. That's why I'm telling you they want to imitate heaven. It's each one with their own team. Each one commands an area. Each one commands a church. Each legion in its area. They are organized. They don't fight each other. Each one has their own specific place to stay on earth to work. They don't fight for places. They are organized in that too."

And then walking a little further, we went to another area and saw the presidents of hell. These are the ones closest to humanity because they are close to the great ones on earth. They are close to men who are president, governor, senator, representatives, ministers. These demon are the ones who are closest to humanity. These presidents of hell influence people that are in position of authority to make decisions that affect all humanity. Every order, every decree, everything that comes out of there from mayors, presidents, governors, ministers affects humanity. And these demon have their servants which are the legions of demons who also have their team. Here in hell, there are many areas. There are lieutenants, there are ministers. Well, Satan used this whole strategy and raised many areas to show the entire hierarchy.

Michael said, "Now I'm going to tell you about the horsemen who are also part of the demonic hierarchy. They are also very important here in hell. It's Lucifer's army. There are many horsemen who it's with them most of the time that you go to war. They are here to protect hell, to go to war, to wage war. Satan's army is here await Lucifer's command. When Lucifer gives the order, they'll go to war. Understand?" I said, "Yes, I understand." Yes, he said.

And that's the area I have to show you here in hell. You know that Lucifer was the angel in heaven and he left because God took him away. And today he's here in hell because he wanted to be like God. He wanted God's things. When he was expelled from there, he continued with this idea of imitating the Lord. And here he created his kingdom in hell. He created his hierarchy. He organized everything to imitate the Lord, to imitate heaven. Did you understand a little?

I said at the beginning that I wouldn't mention the names of all the demons because the Lord gave me no permission to mention their names. And also, this experience would be too overwhelming if I mentioned demons names individually. So, it wasn't the Lord's permission for me to mention all the names. God allowed me to speak the name of the trinity of hell. Just those names.

But you can understand that in hell, Lucifer doesn't play around. He doesn't pretend to be Lucifer. They are working seriously to destroy humanity. Because the more souls they win, the better for them in hell. They don't sleep working to destroy humanity, to win souls for this place. Horrible. This is their organization.

HEAVENLY ORGANIZATION REVEALED

And I said, "Amen." And he said, "Now I'll show you something beautiful from the Lord. After this, you need to know how heaven is organized as well because all this here is imitation, an imitation of Lucifer. Then you will see the true organization." From there, he took me out of hell and took me to heaven. Here in heaven, the angels are organized. They are separated, but all in worship of the Lord, and we walked in heaven. We entered a place in heaven where all the angels were. A beautiful place near the Lord's throne. There I could see the Lord's throne from afar because there were so many angels. It was the place of angels, a very beautiful place full of God's glory that I was amazed. That place brought me an enormous peace in my heart, a joy. The presence of the Lord was great.

THE HOLY ANGELS AND WORSHIP

There in that place, something beautiful, something inexplicable. I saw certain angels near the Lord's throne. And Michael said, "These are the holy angels." This category called the holy angels are much closer to the Lord. Near the Lord's throne. They are those who glorify and worship the Lord. They are there all the time saying, "Holy, holy, holy." They never leave the Lord's throne for anything. There were many holy angels who never leave the Lord's throne for anything. Then Michael showed me the seraphim. They were a little close to the Lord's throne too, but a little further away after the holy angels. I thought it was very beautiful. I saw a fire that was burning in that seraph. They were on fire. I had never seen seraphim like that. They are the second hierarchy of the Lord. They were very beautiful worshiping the Lord. They are also destined to do things on earth. When the Lord and the holy angels ask them, they don't leave for anything.

THE CHERUBIM AND THEIR MISSION

Then a little further here near the seraphs I saw a group of angels. And Michael said they were the cherubim. He said to me, "The cherubim are the guards, the messengers and guards of heaven, and there are many angels, too. They are very beautiful. Each angel has their mission just as the seraphim have their mission. The cherubim also have one. They guard heaven. They are the guardians of the Lord. They also worship the Lord on the throne."

And then I saw other angels. Another group of angels. Michael said, "These angels are the thrones." A very unusual name. I was like, "Thrones? What do you mean by thrones?" Michael said, "Calm down. I'll explain. Just like in the first hierarchy of the holy angels, thrones also have the same function as the holy angels to worship the Lord constantly with endless hymns. They are also there around the Lord's throne and called beings of God. They also worship the Lord without stopping, without ceasing and are always around the throne."

And then I saw another group of the angels. Archangel Michael said they were the dominations. These angels are of high nobility. They are also sent by God for missions on earth. They worship the Lord on his throne. The entire hierarchy worship the Lord on the throne. But there are specific ones that the Lord sends on missions. And there are some that never leave the Lord's throne. Dominations are like that. They also worship the Lord and are also sent on missions. There are many. They are also part of the army of angels.

THE VIRTUES AND HEAVENLY ORDER

And then Michael took me to see other angels. We got close to a group of enormous angels. Michael said, "These are the virtues." And there I saw those angels virtues organizing everything in heaven. They commanded other angels sending them here and there and others writing. I saw the virtues organizing everything. Then Archangel Michael said the angels' virtues help organize things here in heaven to turn out perfectly. For God is perfect and everything he does is perfect.

There are angels who help him in this area so that everything in heaven is perfect so that everything turns out according to God's will. Michael said, "Hey, did you know that you on earth should pray to God for these angels of virtue so that they may dwell in your home and walk with you? Pray for them to help you so that things turn out well so that you may be able to do things as the Lord wants you to do. People who have this angel with them are people who can, who enjoy being in the house of the Lord. The Lord is pleased with that."

ARCHANGELS OF WAR

The Archangel Michael took me from there to see the archangels of war. I really wanted to see the archangels even though I was already with Michael who is an archangel. And Michael said, "I, Michael, and Archangel Gabriel are archangels of war. We are there to fight when necessary. Not only to fight, we also stand before the throne of the Lord worshiping him, praising him. When we need to go out there to fight, we go. It's our job. We are also messenger angels."

Did you know Gabriel is an archangel? He was the one who went to earth to announce that Jesus would come to earth. Mary would give birth to Jesus. It was Gabriel, Archangel Gabriel, who went to Mary to tell her this. He is an archangel of war, and he is also an archangel messenger. He also worships the Lord, as do I. We also go on many missions with you. We take you on many experiences. To war, we will also war with you. If you need us, you can call. Cry out to the Lord because the Lord sends us to battle. To war, we are the archangels of war. We protect. We are part of the army of heaven. We are ready for battle.

GUARDIAN ANGELS ON EARTH

Michael took me from there to the place of the other angels. And he said that these are the angels who are appointed to be on earth with you. They are the ones closest to humanity. They are guardian angels, comforters. Every area of your life has an angel. And these are the ones who are there with you on earth. These are the angels the Lord sends to earth to care for you.

The Lord said in your holy Bible, "Behold, an angel comes to guard you on the way to lead you to the place I have prepared for you. Respect the angel's presence. Pay attention to his voice. Listen to his voice. For my name is in him. But if you listen to his voice and do what he says, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, an adversary to your adversaries." That's not quite how it's written. That's what the Lord meant.

The Lord sent angels to fight for you. Angels to watch over you. All these angels and this entire hierarchy of angels here that you saw worship the one Lord, Savior of your lives. We also stand before the Lord's throne, worshiping day and night. We go out to perform the duties he commands. This is how the Lord wants his church to do. Worship him in spirit and in truth. Worship him always. Amen.

And that was my experience.

John Bunyan 3

This testimony describes the eternal joy and freedom from sin experienced by the redeemed in Heaven. The prophet explains that glorified souls are forever delivered from sin, temptation, and punishment, and now live in perfect holiness and peace. They behold God face to face, filled with unspeakable joy and love, far beyond anything known on Earth. The vision of God transforms them into His likeness and gives perfect knowledge and communion. The testimony also reveals that the resurrected bodies of the saints will be spiritual, incorruptible, and immortal, sustained by the presence of God, not by physical needs. All of this is possible only through God's grace and the redemptive work of Christ.

---

THE HAPPINESS IN HEAVEN

The prophet continued, "I will briefly tell you about our happiness here, for ages spent on this delightful theme would only begin to explain it. That you may have the best understanding, I will first explain about what the redeemed souls have been delivered from, and secondly about the happiness which they enjoy here."

"Firstly, the souls of all the glorified are forever freed from everything that can make them miserable, which above all, is sin. It was sin which brought misery into creation. The blessed God at first made all things happy, like Himself. Had not sin defaced the beauty of His workmanship, angels and men would have never known what is meant by misery. It was sin which threw the apostate angels down into hell, and spoiled the beauty of the lower world. It was sin which defaced God's image in man's soul, and made the ones who were to be the lords of creation—into slaves of their own lust. It is sin which can also plunge them into an ocean of eternal misery from which is no redemption. It is an invaluable mercy that in this happy place, all the saints are forever freed from sin through the blood of our Redeemer. In the earth below, the best and holiest of souls groan under the burden of corruption. Sin clings to all that they do, and often leads them captive against their will. "Who shall deliver me?" has been the cry of many of God's faithful servants, who at the same time have been dear to Jesus. Sin is the heavy weight upon the saints, while they live in their corrupted flesh. Therefore when they lay their bodies down, their souls are like a bird loosed from its cage, and with a heavenly joy they rise up to heaven. But here their warfare is at an end, and 'death is swallowed up in victory.' Below their souls were deformed and stained by sin—but here their bright souls by the ever-blessed Jesus are presented to the Father 'without spot or wrinkle.'"

FREEDOM FROM TEMPTATION

"Not only are the saints here free from sin—but also from any temptation to sin. When Adam was in paradise, though he was innocent and free from sin—yet he was not free from temptation. Satan got into paradise and Adam fatally yielded to his temptations. Like a disease, sin has eaten into the human nature and corrupted all mankind."

"Here each soul is freed from this. Nothing but what is pure and holy can find admission here. That roaring lion who roams back and forth throughout the earth seeking whom he may devour, in respect to the saints in heaven, is bound fast in everlasting chains. The temptations of the world shall never again allure those who through faith and patience have overcome it, and safely arrived here. In heaven we look with contempt on all earthly enjoyments. There is nothing here that can disturb our peace—but an eternal calm crowns all our happiness."

FREEDOM FROM PUNISHMENT

"Since we are freed from all sin and its effects, we are also rescued from punishment. After death, hell confines the unforgiven sinner to eternal misery. Yet the redeemed are delivered from all these things."

"However, these things are but the least part of the happiness of heaven. Our joys are positive, more than just the negative that we have been redeemed from. What these are I shall try to show you."

THE SIGHT OF GOD

"Here we enjoy the sight of God, the blessed spring and eternal source of all our happiness. But what this is, I can no more fully explain—than can finite creatures comprehend infinity. Yet the sight of God continually fills our souls with unspeakable joy, and with a love so flaming that nothing but the blessed author of it can satisfy, nor eternity itself can end. It is that which makes us live, love, sing, and praise forever, while it also transforms us into His blessed likeness. Beholding God's face, we enjoy His love. His blessed smiles make glad our souls, and in His favor we rejoice continually, 'for in His favor is life.' And by this blessed vision of God, we come to know Him far above how any had known Him in the world below. For the sight of Him opens our understandings, and 'gives us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.' Here we all enjoy Him face to face. Below the saints enjoy God in a measure—but here we enjoy Him without measure. There they have some sips of His goodness—but here we drink largely and swim in the boundless ocean of happiness! Below the saints have their communion with God broken off many times—but here it is uninterrupted. Below love is mixed with fear, and fear has torment; but here love is perfect, and perfect love casts out fear. In heaven we love God more than ourselves, and one another like ourselves. Here we enjoy the perfection of all grace."

ENLARGED UNDERSTANDING

"In heaven our understanding and knowledge is enlarged according to the greatness of what we can observe and think. In the world below, light could only shine into our minds through the windows of our senses, so God had to condescend to our limited capacities when revealing His Majesty. Our purest ideas of God were very imperfect—but here the gold is separated from the dross and we can conceive the holiness and purity of God. We understand about His decrees and counsels, His providence and dispensations. We clearly see here that from eternity God existed alone—but not solitary, that the Godhead is neither confused in unity, nor divided in number. We see that there is a priority of order but no superiority among the persons of the Trinity—but that they equally have the same excellency and power, and equally are adored. Those ways of God that in the world below seemed unsearchable and beyond our comprehension, we understand so clearly here by His divine wisdom, that the truth could not be made more simple."

GLORIFIED BODIES

"These are some of the things which make our souls happy. However, the happiness of the saints in heaven will not be complete until their bodies are resurrected and united with their souls. I will therefore show you what the resurrection body shall be like:"

"First, the resurrection bodies of the blessed, will be spiritual bodies, like mine. You may better understand this not only by seeing but by touch. (After saying this, the holy prophet was pleased to give me his hand.) They will be bodies which are purified from all corruption—yet will have substance. They will not be like wind or air, as people on earth sometimes foolishly imagine."

SPIRITUAL VS. MATERIAL

Then I said to him that I always understood spiritual as the opposite of material, so I thought that a spiritual body must be immaterial, and not capable of being touched or felt as I found his hand was.

To this the prophet replied that their bodies were spiritual, not only because they were purified from all corruption—but as they were sustained by the enjoyment of God without needing food, drink, or sleep. Beholding the Lord is what supports both their souls and their bodies, and is what they live upon forever. "Have you not read," said the prophet, "that the blessed Jesus, after His resurrection, appeared in His body to His disciples when they were met together in a chamber and the doors shut about them? And yet He called to Thomas to come and reach forth his hand and thrust it into His side," which shows it had substance."

IMMORTALITY EXPLAINED

"Our bodies in the resurrection shall be immortal, and incapable of dying. Below their bodies are all mortal, perishing, and subject to crumbling into dust at any time. But here our bodies will be incorruptible and freed from death forever, for our corruption here shall put on incorruption, and our mortality will be swallowed up of life."

Here I desired the prophet to bear with me a little, while I gave him an account of my own ideas about these matter. "Speak, for I am ready to remove your doubt," he said.

"I have learned," I said, "in the holy Scriptures that immortality belongs to God only, and not to men. Daily experience tells us that bodies of men are mortal, and die. Therefore Paul told Timothy that God alone has immortality."

"When I say that the bodies of the glorified here are immortal, I am speaking about the bodies in their resurrected state, that then they are subject to death no more. Man in his corruptible state is mortal and subject to death. And there is nothing more evident to all who dwell in the world below. Even the bodies of all those glorified souls who are here in heaven, are at this time still kept under the power of death. At the resurrection day, when they shall be raised up again—then they shall then be immortal. And as to what you say from the Scripture, that the blessed God alone has immortality, it is very true. He is most essentially so in His own being and nature; there is no angel or man that can, in that strict sense, be said to be so. We are immortal through His grace and favor; but God is immortal in His essence and has been so from all eternity. In that sense He may well be said to alone have immortality. Whatever the blessed God is, He is essentially so in His own being. It can likewise be said that He alone is holy, and there is none good but God, none righteous but God, and none merciful but He."

This testimony reveals the unspeakable happiness and glory of Heaven, where the redeemed enjoy perfect communion with God, each according to their capacity to love Him. Saints shine with different degrees of brightness, not out of competition, but because of their love and likeness to God. They rejoice in seeing Christ as King, surrounded by friends and family in pure, selfless love. Heaven is also a place of perfect understanding, where even past afflictions are seen as mercies. The joy is inexhaustible, like drinking from a boundless river of God’s goodness. Though human relationships cease, all are united in eternal worship, peace, and joy in the presence of their Redeemer.

WE SHALL KNOW EACH OTHER

I remarked, "As I was brought here, I saw among the saints some who appeared to shine with greater brightness than the others. Are there among the blessed different degrees of glory?"

"The happiness and glory which all the glorified here enjoy is the result of their communion with and love to the ever blessed God. The more we see Him—the more we love Him; and love changes our souls into His nature, and from this results our glory. This makes a difference in the degrees of glory. Nor is there any murmuring in one to see another’s glory much greater than his own. The ever blessed God is an unbounded ocean of light and life, and joy and happiness, still filling every vessel—until it can hold no more. And though the vessels are of several sizes, while each is filled there are none who can complain. My answer therefore to your question, is that those who have the most enlarged capacity do love God most—are thereby changed most into His likeness. This is the highest glory which heaven can give. Nor let this seem strange to you, for even among God’s flaming angels there are diversities of order and different degrees of glory.

REDEEMED SOUL SPEAKS OF THE SAVIOR

While I was talking with the prophet a shining form drew near. It was one of the redeemed. He told me he had left his body below resting in hope until the resurrection; and that though he was still a substance yet it was an immaterial one, not to be touched by mortal.

He said, "We here behold a sight worth dying for—the blessed Lamb of God, the glorious Savior! Here we see Him in His kingly office, on account of which He is called King of kings and Lord of lords. But all the glorious greatness of our blessed Redeemer does not make His kindness seem distant—but only more precious. It makes heaven more than heaven to me—to find Him reigning here, Who suffered so much for me in the world below! And our Redeemer’s great happiness increases our own, as He invites each faithful servant to enter into his Master’s joy."

HEAVENLY RECOGNITION AND PURE LOVE

"Here we see not only our elder Brother, Christ—but also our friends and relatives. Although Elijah lived in the world below long before your time, you no sooner saw him—than you knew him. And so you will also know Adam when you see him. Here we communicate the purest pleasure to each other—a sincere ardent love uniting our society. And oh, how happy is that state of love! Where there is love like this—all are filled with delight. How can it be otherwise, since in this blessed society there is a continual receiving and returning of love and joy."

MYSTERIES OF RELIGION REVEALED

"But besides, all the happiness which comes to us by our communion with God and with each other—it is to me a mighty happiness to understand all the deep mysteries of religion which the wisest in the world below could not fully understand. Here we discern a perfect harmony between those scripture texts that in the world below seemed to oppose each other. And here we are especially filled with wonder and gratitude at discovering the divine goodness towards each one of us in particular. In respect to my former life on earth, I have seen the mercifulness of those very afflictions which I once (when upon earth) thought to show His anger. I am now fully convinced that no affliction that I ever met with in the world below (and I have met with many) either came sooner, or fell heavier, or continued longer—than what was needful for my good. My hopes were not disappointed—but God used all things to prepare me for a better eternal reward than what I had hoped for."

INEXHAUSTIBLE JOY OF HEAVEN

"But I remember that you are still in the body, and may be tired with hearing what I could forever tell, so great is the happiness that I possess. I shall only add one other thing about our happiness: though a vast multitude of blessed souls partakes of this joy and glory, this does not make less of what each receives. For this ocean of happiness is so bottomless, that the innumerable company of all the saints and angels can never exhaust it. Nor is this strange, for in the world below everyone equally enjoys the benefit of sunlight. There is no one who can complain that they enjoy it less, because another enjoys it also. All enjoy the benefit of sunlight as fully—as if no one else enjoyed it but themselves. If a multitude of people drink of the same river—none of them is able to exhaust it, even though each of them has the liberty of drinking as much as he can. So whoever enjoys God—enjoys Him as much as he can contain, according to his capacity."

A GLIMPSE OF HEAVENLY CANAAN

"Thus I have given you a brief account of our heavenly Canaan. It is not the thousandth part of that which might be said—yet it is enough to let you see it is a land flowing with milk and honey. In this happy place, worldly relations cease. Nor are there male and female here—but all are like the angels. For souls cannot be distinguished into sexes, and therefore all relations are here swallowed up in God."

BRIGHTNESS OF THE REDEEMED

He had no sooner spoken than he took me by the hand. Then, far swifter than an arrow from a bow, we passed by several shining forms clothed in robes of immortality, who looked at me as I passed them. He said, to me, "Farewell, my friend, your guardian angel will shortly come and bring you back to the world below."

I drew near the shining form of a redeemed one who stood before me, who appeared extremely glorious, encircled with rays of dazzling luster. I hardly could behold her—for the exceeding brightness of her face.

She said to me, "For what I am—to Him who is on the throne, be all the praise and glory. The robe of glory which you see me wear—is only the reflection of His own bright beams!"

THE SONG OF DIVINE LOVE

"You appear to be one who feels the mighty joys that you speak of."

She replied, "You should not think this strange. The mighty wonders of divine love and grace will be the subject of our song forever! Here all human relations cease and are swallowed up in God Who is alone the great Father of all this heavenly family. As for the members of the family that I left behind in the world below, I have committed them to God. I would be glad to see them all heirs of this blessed inheritance. But if they should join with the grand enemy of souls and refuse the grace offered them, and thereby perish in their unbelief—God will be glorified in His justice, and in His glory I shall still rejoice!"

KNOWLEDGE OF EARTHLY AFFAIRS

Then I desired to know whether the saints in heaven understood and were concerned for what was happening in the world below.

To this she replied, "As to the affairs of particular people, we are not concerned with them and are ignorant of them. Only God is present in all places and sees all things. But the struggles and the victories of the church below, is told to us by the angels, who are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation. From what they report we are excited to renew our praises to Him who sits upon the throne."

John Bunyan 2

The narrator is guided by a heavenly messenger on a journey above the earth to witness eternal realities. As they ascend, the world appears small and insignificant, revealing how fleeting earthly things are compared to heaven. The angel explains the fallen angels’ rebellion, their hatred toward mankind, and their irreversible judgment. The narrator is shown the sun, stars, and wonders of creation, all pointing to God’s unmatched power. Finally, he is taken into heaven itself, where he beholds indescribable glory and hears unspeakable songs—realizing that the beauty and majesty of God’s kingdom far surpass anything the human heart could imagine.

---

BEYOND THE SUN AND STARS

The heavenly messenger then said, "That you may never doubt the reality of eternal things, I have come to show you the truth of them: not by faith only—but also by sight. I will show you things never yet seen by mortal eye, and to that end your eyes shall be strengthened and made able to behold heavenly things."

At these words of the angel I was very surprised, and doubted I would be able to bear it. I said to him, "Who is able to bear such a sight?"

To this he replied, "The joy of the Lord shall be your strength." When he had said this, he took hold of me and said, "Fear not, for I am sent to show the things you have not seen." Then before I was aware, I found myself far above the earth, which seemed now to be very small.

THE WORLD FROM ABOVE

Then I said to my bright conductor, "Please let it not offend you if I ask a question or two." To this he replied, "Speak on. It is my work to answer whatever you ask. For I am a ministering spirit, sent forth to minister to you and to those who will inherit salvation."

Then I said, "Please inform me about that dark spot below, which has grown smaller and smaller as we have mounted higher, and which appears much darker since I have come into this region of light."

My conductor replied, "That little spot that now looks so dark and despised is the world which you have lived on. To obtain one small part of that spot of earth so many men have risked and lost their immortal souls; which are so precious that the Prince of Peace has told us that though a man could gain the whole world, it would not equal so great a loss.

As you have ascended higher towards heaven, the world has appeared still smaller and more insignificant; and it will appear the same to all who can by faith get their hearts above it. If men below could but see the world as it is, they would not covet it as they do now, but alas, they are in a state of darkness. And what is worse, they love to walk in this darkness. For although the Prince of Light came down among them and showed them the true light of life—yet they go on in darkness and will not bring themselves to the light, because their deeds are evil."

THE FALLEN ANGELS

Then I asked him, "What are those multitudes of black and horrible forms that hover in the air above the world? I would have been much afraid of them, but I saw that as you passed by, they fled; perhaps not being able to abide your brightness."

To this he answered me, "They are the fallen angels which for their pride and rebellion were cast down from heaven. They wander in the air by decree of the Almighty, being bound in chains of darkness and kept unto the judgment of the great day.

They are permitted to descend into the world, both for the trial of the elect, and for the condemnation of the wicked. And although you see that they now have black and horrible forms—yet they were once the sons of Light. They once were clothed in robes of glorious brightness, like what you see me wear. But the loss of this, although it was the result of their own willful sin, fills them with anger and hatred against the ever blessed God Whose power and majesty, they fear and hate."

NO HOPE FOR RECONCILIATION

"Tell me," I said, "O blessed conductor, have they no hopes of being reconciled to God again, after some term of time, or at least some of them?"

"No, not at all. They are lost forever. They were the first that sinned, and had no tempter; and they were at once cast down from heaven. Besides, the Son of God, the blessed Messiah by Whom alone salvation can be gained, did not take upon Himself the angelic nature. He left the apostate angels all to perish, and took upon Himself only the seed of Abraham.

For this reason they have so much hatred against the sons of men, because it is a torment for them to see men made the heirs of heaven—while they are doomed to hell."

ABOVE THE SUN

By this time we were above the sun. My conductor told me this mighty globe of fire was one of the great works of God. Yet all the stars were not less wonderful; whose great distance away makes them appear like candles in our sight. They hang in their appointed places without any support. Nothing but His word that first created them, could keep them in their station.

"These words are enough," I said to my conductor, "To convince anyone of the great power of their Creator, and to show the evil of that unbelief which questions the being of the God who has given so many evidences of His power and glory. If men were not like beasts still looking downwards, they could not help but acknowledge His great power and wisdom."

"You speak what is true," he replied. "But you will see far greater things than these. These are but the scaffolds and outworks to that glorious place, that the glorified above inhabit. A view of it shall now be given to you—as far as you are able to comprehend it."

THE UNSPEAKABLE GLORY OF HEAVEN

In a few moments I found what my conductor had told me was true. For I found myself transferred into heaven, where I saw things that are impossible to describe, and heard beautiful songs that I could never sing.

Whoever has not seen that glory can speak but very imperfectly of it, and those who have seen it cannot tell the thousandth part of what it is. Therefore the great apostle of the Gentiles, who tells us that he had been caught up into paradise where he had heard unspeakable words which are not possible for a man to utter, wrote that "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man—to conceive the things that God has prepared for those who love him."

I will give you the best account I can of what I saw and heard, as near as I can remember.

In this part of the testimony, the narrator is welcomed into heaven, a place of unimaginable light, joy, and divine glory, where even the saints shine with transparent radiance from God’s presence. Overwhelmed by the sight, he meets Elijah, who explains that the glory and happiness of heaven are ever new and ever increasing, because God's infinite nature means there's always more to behold. Though Elijah's body was transformed rather than dying, he explains that even he cannot fully express the joy experienced in heaven. The testimony ends with the reminder that no eye, ear, or imagination on earth can comprehend what God has prepared for those who love Him.

WELCOME TO DIVINE HAPPINESS 

When I was first brought near this glorious place, I saw innumerable hosts of bright attendants, who welcomed me into this blessed place of happiness. And there I saw that perfect and unapproachable light, which changes all things into its own nature, for even the souls of the glorified saints are transparent. They are not illumined by the sun; but all that light, that flows with such transparent brightness throughout these heavenly mansions, is nothing else but the shining forth of the Divine glory.

Compared to this glory, the light of the sun is but darkness, and the fire of the most sparkling jewels are but dead coals. Therefore it is called The Throne of the Glory of God, where the radiance of the divine Majesty is revealed in the most illustrious manner. God was too bright for me to look upon, as He was exalted on the high throne of His glory, while multitudes of angels and saints sang forth eternal hallelujahs and praises to Him. Well may He be called the God of Glory, for by His presence He makes heaven what it is. Rivers of pleasure continually spring forth from the divine Presence, and radiate cheerfulness, joy, and splendor to all the blessed inhabitants of heaven, the seat of His eternal empire.

OVERWHELMED BY GLORY

For my own part, I was too weak to bear the least ray of glory which shot from that everlasting Spring of Light which sat upon the throne. I was forced to cry out to my conductor, "The sight of so much glory is too great for me to bear—yet it is so refreshing and delightful that I would desire to look, though I die."

NO DEATH OR SORROW IN HEAVEN

"No, no," said my conductor, "death cannot enter this blessed place, nor sin nor sorrow can abide. It is the glory of this happy place to be forever freed from all that is evil; and without that freedom, our blessedness even here would be imperfect. Come along with me and I will bring you to one who is in the body, as you are. Talk with him for a while before I take you back again.**"

"O rather," I eagerly said, "let me stay here. There is no need of building tabernacles, for the heavenly mansions are already prepared." My shining messenger replied to this, "Here in a while you shall forever be—but the divine will must first be obeyed."

MEETING THE PROPHET ELIJAH

Swift as thought, he conveyed me past thousands of angels, and presented me to that great saint, the prophet Elijah. Though he had lived in the world many hundreds of years ago, I knew him at first sight.

"Here is one," said my conductor to Elijah, "who by the commission of the Imperial Throne has been permitted to visit these realms of light, and I have brought him to you, to learn from you."

"That," said the prophet, "I shall gladly do. For it is our food and drink in these blessed regions, to do the will of God and the Lamb, to sing His praises, and serve Him with the humblest adoration, saying, 'Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him who sits upon the throne; and to the Lamb forever and ever! For He has redeemed us to God by His blood, out of every kindred and tongue, and people and nation, and has made us unto our God kings and priests! Even so, Amen.'" And I likewise added my "Amen" to that of the holy prophet.

HEAVENLY IGNORANCE OF EARTHLY EVENTS

The prophet then asked me why this great permission and privilege was given to me. (By which I understand, that the saints in heaven are ignorant of what is done on earth; so how can prayers be directed to them?) I then told him the events I have already written here, at which the holy prophet broke forth in praise, "Glory forever be given to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, for His unbounded goodness and great condescension to the weakness of a poor and doubting sinner."

PERFECT YET PROGRESSIVE HAPPINESS

After this he said, "Now give attention to what I shall speak. What you have already seen and heard, I am sure you cannot make fully understood to those not yet translated to this glorious place, who have not yet been freed from their earthly bodies. Nor is my being here in the body any objection to what I say; for although it has not been subject to death—yet it has been transformed. It has been made spiritual, and is no longer able to suffer. Yet in this full state of happiness I cannot utter all that I enjoy, nor do I know what shall yet be enjoyed, for here our happiness is always new."

ETERNALLY INCREASING JOY

I then asked the blessed prophet to explain himself. I did not understand how happiness could be complete, and yet still be added to. The following was his reply:

"When the soul and body are both perfectly happy, as mine now are, I count it a complete state of happiness. For throughout all the coming ages of eternity, it is the soul and body joined together in the blessed resurrection state, which shall receive this happiness. But concerning the object of our happiness, which is the ever adorable and blessed God, our vision of Him is forever new. For as the divine perfections are infinite, nothing less than eternity can be sufficient to display their glory. This makes our happiness eternally added to, as well as our knowledge of Him to be eternally progressive also.

"Therefore the apostle Paul said, 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor can it enter into the heart of man to conceive what God has prepared for those who love him.' Yet the human eye has seen many admirable things in nature. It has seen mountains of crystal, and rocks of diamonds, it has seen mines of gold, and coasts of pearls. Nevertheless, the eye that has seen so many wonders in the world below, could never pry into the glories of this triumphant place.

And though the ear of man has heard many delightful and harmonious sounds, even all that man and nature could supply him with—yet he has never heard the heavenly melody which both saints and angels make before the throne. The heart of man is so excellent and imaginative, that it can conceive almost anything that is, or was, or ever shall be in the world below, and even what shall never be.

Man can conceive that every stone on earth shall be turned into pearls, and every blade of grass into the brightest of shining jewels. He can conceive that the whole earth be turned into a mass of pure gold, and the air turned into crystal. He can conceive every star to become as bright as the sun, and the sun to be a thousand times larger and brighter. But all this is infinitely short of what the eternal Majesty has prepared for all His faithful followers.
