Conversations with the Lord

This testimony describes a powerful divine encounter in which the narrator is taken from a place of torment in hell to a garden of paradise, where they experience the indescribable, perfect love of God and receive deep instruction from the Lord. The Lord explains that He revealed Himself because the narrator sought His presence rather than miracles, power, or material blessings, emphasizing that true discipleship requires loving God above all else, including family, possessions, and life itself. The message warns that love for the world, its systems, pleasures, and ideologies leads people away from God and into spiritual destruction, while faith, humility, repentance, and holiness lead to eternal life. The Lord exposes how Satan uses governments, culture, technology, religion, and materialism to oppose God and deceive humanity, and rebukes the misuse of offerings and reliance on human sources instead of trusting God for provision. The testimony concludes with a call to preach repentance, renounce worldliness, live set apart for the Kingdom of Heaven, forgive persecution, and lead souls out of darkness into eternal life.

A JOURNEY FROM HELL TO PARADISE

My dear, I was taken to Hell, a place of desolation, pain, and sadness. I cried to the Lord in despair, and He delivered me from that dark place. The Lord took me to a garden of paradise full of blooming trees and evergreen leaves, where I saw the Lord who invited me to join Him in that blossoming garden. I felt so good in the hand of the Lord, and I could feel His love. This love was so perfect that no one on earth can offer this love. No one on earth loves us like the Lord. This love of God is indescribable, and we won’t give it its value if we define it using human language. This love is above our understanding and surpasses our logic and comprehension. The only word we can employ to describe it is perfection. I felt this love penetrating all my being, and I felt like a child comforted in the hand of his father.

THE LORD’S LOVE AND OBEDIENCE

The Lord said, I love all my children, and I don’t want them to go where you were, stuck in the flame. But my children don’t love me, for they don’t keep my words. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. The Lord asked me, do you know why I reveal myself to you? I said, Lord, it’s because I have asked you all this and I fasted and prayed to have them. The Lord said, your desire was different. You desired my presence differently from others, and you had so much faith that you fasted to have it.

Others desire only miracle solutions, healing, and to have power. They want to perform miracles, predict the future, and cast out demons. They have faith for these things; they do not have faith for the least thing. You have faith for the least thing, and you believe that I can give it to you.

You fasted and persevered in prayer to the end in order to see me. But many are fasting and praying not because they want me, but because they want the things that I give instead of seeing me. But you prayed for the least thing, which is to see me, and you got it. I gave you a lot. That is why the one who lifts himself will be brought low, and the one who lowers himself will be lifted up. You must desire the least thing, which is to see me, for when you desire me instead of the things that I give, you will obtain great things.

THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP

In your Bible it is written: if anyone comes to me and does not separate from his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. And whoever does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. Many have not understood these words. They say I cannot ask them to separate from their parents. Remember I told you to honor your father and mother. What I told you is mentioned three times in Scripture, and these words come from me.

I am asking you to separate from your loved ones so you can come to me, for many are going to the flame of torment because they love their wives, husbands, children, brothers, sisters, and their lives more than me.

You were in hell and saw children who were tormented because of their parents. If a person can lead you to hell, he is playing the role of Satan, who also wants to lead you to hell. I say to you today, there is nothing more important for a man to desire than the Kingdom of Heaven.

When you don’t have a child or a husband or a wife, if you have no family, no house, nothing to eat, no clothes to wear—if you don’t have anything in the world—but you have the Kingdom of Heaven, you have all things. For what you could not have on earth, you will get them all in the Kingdom of Heaven.

So don’t be sad for what you lose now, but be happy for what you will have in the Kingdom of Heaven. What you couldn’t have on earth, you will get a hundredfold in the Kingdom. Even now, I won’t let you be fatherless. What you lose because of me, you will find in the present century and in the Kingdom of Heaven. You must not leave the world now, but you have to live in order to continue my work and save my children who are still lost and scattered.

You were spared from carrying heavy burdens, but I tell you today you must strive to carry heavy burdens that are difficult, for fear that by carrying light burdens you end up being caught along the way. You must know your goals and the consequences of these goals.

A WARNING TO REPENT AND SEEK THE KINGDOM

If you don’t have a goal, you are an infidel. If your goal is not the Kingdom of Heaven, you are an unbeliever. Anyone among you who sins and does not want to repent, let him be considered an unbeliever, because his goal is not the Kingdom of Heaven. If someone listens to these warnings and does not repent, he will never repent. If you do not come to church for the Kingdom of Heaven, you are unbelievers, for the Kingdom of Heaven causes people to repent. You must know what you want and why you are here.

My dear, we were still in the garden when the Lord told me the world government is already in place, and the devil has already occupied all that is in the world. All the powers of the land belong to him, and soon they will make war against you. All electronic devices you own are manufactured by the world government, and all social networks belong to them. The devil uses these technologies to turn you away from me.

The devil teaches belief in human science, mathematics, logic, and many others. These teachings are based on facts and evidence. Satan teaches the world to believe what they see, what is logical and understandable. But I say to you that God’s things are foolishness to men—irrational, not logical, not normal. This is why many don’t believe in me.

You must not turn away from me because of the things of this world. The science of men cannot explain the works of God. The thoughts of men are contrary to God’s thoughts. Be educated, but don’t let materialism and logic affect your faith, which is built on the Word. Use the things of the world only if necessary to save my children.

Many of my children still love the things of the world. I warn you: the clothes you are wearing, you should not wear them. I saw I was wearing jean pants. The Lord said, if you still love the world, the love of the Father is not in you.

SATAN’S INSTRUMENTS IN THE WORLD

Satan uses moral philosophy, leisure, pleasure, psychology, governments, culture, education, science, art, medicine, music, economics, cinema, entertainment, media, religion, and sports as instruments against me. Scripture says: do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them.

Behind every human industry there is a demonic power acting against me. The world system includes false religious systems and churches not consistent with my Word. Satan is the god of this age. The world and the true church are opposed to each other. You must be set apart, for you are strangers and pilgrims. Loving the world destroys your fellowship with me.

The world will bring difficulties, persecution, and suffering, but it is temporary. The world and all it contains will be destroyed.

A VISION OF HEAVENLY GLORY

The Lord then showed me another place—a stairway leading to a gate of paradise. We entered the city and walked on a golden boulevard. Angels were building heavenly mansions with pure gold. The Lord said, how can my servants give the impression that I am not able to finance my work?

My servants have excluded me from their source of income. They ask people instead of asking me. I arranged things so that you will trust me, not offerings. You cannot ask me and also ask men. Either you ask me or you ask men.

I still have angels walking on earth to finance my work, but you have no access to them because you don’t believe. I want to finance my work myself. During my ministry, I never asked for offerings—I always gave.

THE MISSION: REPENTANCE, HOLINESS, AND HUMILITY

You will tell people that hell exists and that repentance is necessary. What I expect from you is to open blind eyes and bring souls out of darkness. Forgive those who persecute you. Preach holiness. Teach repentance. Humble yourself, and I will show you things to come.

I am the living God. I am the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last.

A Child with Autism has Visions

This testimony highlights the power and importance of faith in the midst of hopeless circumstances. Faced with her son’s severe autism and a prognosis with no natural hope, Tahni Cullen chose faith over despair, trusting God when coping was no longer enough. As she held onto hope in Christ, her faith opened the door for peace, renewal, and extraordinary breakthroughs, including her son’s miraculous communication and profound spiritual insight. Although some accounts shared by Sid Roth/his guests can at times be subjective or unreliable, faith must ultimately be anchored in the Holy Bible, which can be revealed in various powerful ways. 

Sid (Introduction): Have you ever been in a hopeless situation? I'm sure you have. But this was hopeless, hopeless.

My guest had a son, seven years old, the worst kind of autism, can’t read, can’t write, can’t spell. And all of a sudden he starts communicating with the most profound thoughts coming from Heaven. In fact, it then gets better. Then he begins prophesying and changing people’s lives.

My guest, Tahni, a pastor, one of many pastors at a mega church—your life is going good. You have a nice marriage. You have a beautiful baby boy and then a bombshell hits you. What was it?

Tahni Cullen: Well yeah, everything had been going wonderful. We had our little joy, Josiah, and we named him that because it meant “fire of the Lord.” And we were excited to start our family, and we bought our house, we wanted to have 2.3 kids with a dog and picket fence, you know, the American dream.

Sid: You had been watching TV.

Tahni Cullen: Exactly. But Josiah was hitting all of his medical milestones. Everything was going really well, until about 22 months old, all of a sudden, very quickly things began to shift. And over about a three-week period of time he stopped looking at us. He stopped responding to his name. Suddenly, play skills that he had, he started losing them, and the 40 words or so that he had began to just go away, words like “mama” and “dada.” He was flipping lights on and off incessantly.

And so we mobilized and we tried to figure out what was going on. After four months or so of testing we finally found ourselves sitting in a board room with doctors around the table, and they said it’s autism spectrum disorder. And I remember opening the folder and the words leapt out at me: “No known cause, no known cure, lifelong.” We were going into something that was a hopeless situation as far as that goes. And that’s really what I struggled with. God, where is hope when there is no hope?

Sid: And then it got worse. At age five, he got a lifetime sentence. Explain that.

Tahni Cullen: We mobilized. We had done everything we possibly could in the natural. We absolutely got him into the best therapies. We did all sorts of alternative therapies with him. I even sat with him in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for 14 dives, they’re called. We did everything we really could. But then at five years old, we did get that addendum that we just hoped we would never get, that he was non-verbal, low functioning and severe. And so, Sid, what that meant was that he would be one of 40 percent of children with autism that they say would never speak.

Sid: How did you as a mother cope with this?

Tahni Cullen: Well that’s just it. You’re really told to learn how to cope with it. And I really struggled with that coping thought. In fact, I asked God, how am I supposed to cope with this? I wrote down ten questions for God because I said, if I’m going into this I need to know biblically what I’m supposed to do, how I’m supposed to pray, how I’m supposed to manage this life. Everything—just all your best resources burn up very quickly. Emotionally, spiritually, mentally, financially, you just burn out very quickly.

And when God says I have good plans for you, I have good plans for your son, plans for hope and a future, I have to be really serious and ask God, is that for us? Do you mean that for me? I had to look at the affections of my heart and was autism the voice that I was hearing the loudest, or was what Jesus did for us what I was hearing loudest?

Sid: And then at one of your lowest moments—you’re not one that would have experiences with God where God would show up. That wasn’t you. That wasn’t your paradigm. But He showed up one day. Tell me about it.

Tahni Cullen: I felt like for the first time in my life I really needed to feel Him and couldn’t. And I felt like when I prayed I was just praying into the darkness or something. Well things had been really difficult with Josiah and I put him down for a nap. And I decided I’d better catch a wink because you don’t get a lot of sleep when you’re a parent of a child with autism.

And I got to lay down, and all of a sudden, about 20 minutes later, I just wake up, and I smell this most amazing smell, and I can’t figure it out. I’m smelling my hair. I’m smelling the pillow. I’m trying to sniff this out like a bloodhound. What is this smell? And it smelled like vanilla and cinnamon, like crème brûlée almost.

I couldn’t figure where it could have been coming from. I go out into the hall—not there. I come back into the bedroom, and I’m like, I’m just going to lay down for a second, and I just drink it in. And I’m going, what is this?

And I remembered my mom telling me about when my father had passed away. He died at 55. She was so low and that one day she smelled a fragrance and she told me it was the fragrance of the presence of the Lord. And I went and I looked it up on Google. I’m like, vanilla, cinnamon, fragrance of the Lord. And here other people had experienced this.

But Sid, what that did to me, it showed me that even though I couldn’t feel Him, that Jesus came and superseded that by getting to my senses to say, “I’m here. I am here.” And there was this peace that overcame because of it.

Sid: And then you found something called rapid prompting method. Did you ever teach him to spell?

Tahni Cullen: No.

Sid: He starts spelling—how supernaturally he knew words. And get this, how supernaturally he knew amazing theological concepts that Ph.D.’s don’t know. It gets even better than that. He grabs his iPad and starts typing this. I mean, I’ve heard of miracles, but this is off the charts. Did you ask him how he learned how to spell?

Tahni Cullen: I had been teaching him this method called the rapid prompting method. I had watched a documentary and decided I have to go get that for my son and figure out this particular method. So I had been doing this method for about a year. But one particular night I’m sitting at the kitchen table and we’re doing a lesson from the Children’s Bible.

I read him a short lesson about when Jesus healed the blind man. And I said, “Josiah, Jesus healed the blind man. What did Jesus do? Did He heal the blind man or play with the blind man?” He chooses heal appropriately. I said, “Okay, let’s spell ‘heal.’”

I put up the iPad and there are letters in big alphabetical buttons. And I said, “Josiah, can you spell ‘heal’?” He touches “G,” then “O,” and I’m like, “go?” He goes on to spell his first independent sentence: “God is a good gift giver.”

Sid: Oh that is good! That is good. What went on inside of you at that moment? What happened?

Tahni Cullen: I thought I was on Candid Camera or something, or I had cracked or had been punked. But no, I was just like, what is happening right now? And I thought, I think he’s being healed right now. After all these years of praying, I think he’s being healed right now.

I said, “Josiah, that’s true. How do you know this?” And he types, “God is very capable.”

Sid: How does a kid like that spell? You had to learn. I had to learn. How did he learn?

Tahni Cullen: I asked him one day, how is this happening? And he typed, “Jesus taught me the order of sounds.”

For the first time we were getting to know our child—things like your favorite toy, your favorite color, what do you like to do. But not only that, he started coming out with the most profound wisdom words.

Sid: He knew things from science, from history, theological concepts most people don’t understand. Give me an example.

Tahni Cullen: I brought him home a rubber lizard and asked what he wanted to name it. He named it and then started explaining things about lizards—things I knew he hadn’t been taught. I knew it was supernatural.

He even explained the triune nature of God. He typed: “In the Trinity the Father is the manager, the Son is the lover of operations, Holy Spirit is the worker. The three in one getting things done.”

Sid: Someone could preach a whole sermon on that. I understand he has a guardian angel. Tell me about that.

Tahni Cullen: He explains that at night he’s taken into the Spirit and educated in Heaven. An angel named Nathan told him, “Boy of God’s fire, you will help light God’s fire in His people again.”

Sid: Your son prophesies. Tell me about the lady at the mall.

Tahni Cullen: Josiah told me to take him to the Mall of America because God had a surprise. He typed out a word for a young woman involved in Wicca. When I finally spoke to her, another woman with a pentagram tattoo said, “That’s not her—that’s me.” Everything Josiah typed described her life exactly.

I told her, “Do you realize that God intercepted time and space to bring me and my autistic son to you?”

Sid: Josiah goes to Heaven and sees relatives he’s never met.

Tahni Cullen: Yes. He spoke about family members and described Heaven—mansions, places, and joy.

Sid: Does Josiah believe he will be healed?

Tahni Cullen: Yes.

Sid: You made a decision not to cope, but to hope. There are people watching who are just barely getting by. Extend a rope of hope to them.

Tahni Cullen: Romans 15:13 says, “The God of hope will give you peace and joy in believing so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” There is no coping in Heaven’s language—only hope. Hope in Hebrew means a cord, a rope. Grab onto that rope.

I pray right now by the power of the Holy Spirit that as you grab onto that rope, you will be led into an intimate relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. In that hope you will find faith like never before, and it will move mountains.

Sid: Start expecting again. Start believing again. Don’t look back. Press on. We’re entering a new time, and if you ask Jesus to live inside of you, the best part of your life is ahead of you.

Columbian Youths Heaven 2

The international ministry "Light for the Nations" presents: 

Together as a group, these 7 Columbian youths were taken by Jesus Christ and shown Heaven and  Hell. Hear their account of the Glories of Heaven and misery of Hell. Due to the recording that this was translated from, we could only record 6 testimonies Originally transcribed from Spanish Audio Illustrations/Pictures were added later, and were not part of the testimony Translation help by Claudia Alejandra Elguezabal 

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.

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.
