Introduction
This boo" is an a ount of a number of true experien es I have had with God. It is not the wor" of an overa tive imagination or the pipe dream of someone who hopes for something better than this life has to offer. #eaven is a reality, and the experien es I des ribe in this boo" are told +ust as they happened to me. I did not see everything there is to see in heaven-it will ta"e eternity to do that. I do not relate everything I saw in heaven, even

-aul did not do that. .!ee / 0orinthians 1/21-3.4 But I am relating all that God has told me to share. I want to give spe ial honor and than"s to my pastor, the &everend %r. T. ). )owery, and to his beautiful wife, Mildred, for their support, en ouragement, and valuable ontributions in this endeavor. I also would li"e to express my sin ere gratitude for the staff of the 5ational 0hur h of God and for the &everend Mar us 6. #and for his editorial guidan e on this boo". $dditionally, I gratefully re ogni7e and redit all those at 'hita"er #ouse in 5ew Kensington, -ennsylvania, who have been instrumental in so many ways in ma"ing both $ %ivine &evelation of #eaven and $ %ivine &evelation of #ell available to the reading publi . I am grateful to God who has alled me to share this message. I than" you who have strengthened and en ouraged me in my God- alled ministry. God bless you all* -Mary Kathryn Baxter

8or this purpose you were born To write and tell 'hat I have shown and told you, 8or these things are faithful and true. 9our all is to let the world "now That there is a heaven, and there is a hell, and that I, :esus, was sent by the 8ather !o save them from torment $nd to prepare them a pla e in heaven. ----------------------------------------------------------

In(ide the )ate(

God, in #is infinite mer y and gra e, permitted me to go to that beautiful pla e alled heaven. The logisti s of my trip to #is home and ba " to earth are un lear to me, but I annot be mista"en about the reality of it. #ow were the in omparable wonders of heaven revealed to a mere mortal li"e me; )et me start at the beginning. <ne night the )ord appeared to me and told me I was hosen for a spe ial assignment. #e said, =My hild, I will manifest Myself to you to bring people out of dar"ness into light. I have hosen you for a purpose2 you are to write and ma"e a re ord of the things that I will show and tell you.> I submitted myself to God ompletely, and astounding things began to happen. I was ta"en from where I was at the time and transported into hell itself. I was aware of all five of my senses2 I ould see, feel, hear, smell, and taste. 9et, this was a supernatural happening. I reali7ed that the impa t it made on me was for a purpose. 8or days after I was ta"en by the )ord into hell, I was very grieved in my heart. My heart was sad and burdened be ause of the horrors I saw. I had viewed the +udgment of God on sin and on the people who had gone to hell. I prayed earnestly to God and sought #is omfort. <n the thirty-first night after these events began, the power of $lmighty God fell on me again. $t two o( lo " in the morning, a mighty angel stood beside my bed. :esus 0hrist was standing behind the angel. $s I loo"ed on the fa e of the )ord standing there, #e smiled at me, but #e did not say anything. The mighty messenger of God said, =God has given me a spe ial mission. I am sent here to ta"e you to heaven and to show you parts of it.> $fter a moment, he spo"e again, =0ome and see the glory of God*>

$t on e, I was supernaturally transported from my home and found myself standing out side one of the gates of heaven with the heavenly angel. The overwhelming beauty of what I saw around me was breathta"ing* The lothing the heavenly being wore loo"ed li"e a brilliant garment of light. The angel had triangular-shaped wings that glistened with the olors of the rain bow. $lthough I wasn(t surprised, I was ama7ed at the indes ribable beauty of God that was evident all around. The next thing I "new, the angel repeated an ex lamation that I would hear many times2 =Behold, the glory of God*> The magnifi ent gate that stood before me in splendor was made of a solid pearl. In awe I too" in everything I ould of this most beautiful sight. $t this point, I ould not see the )ord anywhere, but I was totally enraptured by the glory of heaven.

'hen we arrived there, two very tall angels were standing outside the gate. Both of them wore glistening robes and had swords in their hands. Their hair was li"e spun gold, and their fa es gleamed with light. The angel a ompanying me moved over to spea" to the two angels guarding the gate, and I was left standing alone. In ama7ement, I thought, =<h, how glorious are the gates of heaven* #ow wonderful it is to see this one for myself*> !uddenly, I reali7ed that I was a tually going to enter into heaven. $s I wat hed the angels of the )ord, I ould hear some of the onversation they were having. <ne of them went inside the gate and returned almost immediately with a small volume. The boo" had a gold over, and the printing inside was also in gold. It seemed to be a boo" about my life(s history. My name was stamped on the over2

$ smile of approval ame over the angels( fa es. They opened the boo". They loo"ed at ea h other, then said in a voi e I ould hear, =!he may ome inside the gate.> My guiding angel es orted me through the magnifi ent gate and into heaven. !uddenly, musi filled the whole atmosphere. It was all around me. It was above me. It seemed to penetrate my very being. 'ave after powerful wave of beautiful musi and singing surged a ross the lands ape and seemed to envelop everything and everyone. 'hen I stepped inside the ity, ama7ement again too" my breath. The lands ape of that in omparable ity was beyond des ription. !urrounding me were the most beautiful, olorful flowers I had ever seen. There was unbelievable greenery and vegetation everywhere. ?ven the blooms of the flowers seemed to be alive to the musi and the singing. Musi ontinued to swirl about me. I seemed to be a part of it. It is one thing to try to des ribe the wonders of this ity, it is @uite another to "now that you will share the +oy of it. I saw some of the exuberant iti7ens of heaven, and they were all dressed in robes. This ! ripture ame to me2 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom dec s himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels! .Isaiah A121B4 The happiness and +oy that beamed from their fa es was beyond ompare. #eaven is a real pla e. It is not a figment of someone(s imagination. In the Bible it is re orded that :esus said, Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in "e! In "y #ather$s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you! I go to %re%are a %lace for you! .:ohn 1321-/4

#eaven is a prepared pla e for a prepared people. !in e we as hildren of God have been transformed and made new by the mira le of regeneration, and sin e we are now new reations in 0hrist, it is a +oy to "now that the pla e where we will spend eternity is prepared by the !avior who saved us. #eaven is a perfe t pla e. !in e our !avior is perfe t, omnipotent, and eternal, heaven has to be a perfe t pla e. Be ause #e is preparing us a pla e there to live with #im for all eternity, our eternal home will be perfe t, too. 5othing will ever mar any part of that heavenly abode. There will never be anything allowed to enter heaven to defile it or spoil it. &ut there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb$s &oo of Life. .&evelation /12/C4 #eaven is beyond the rea h of sin and sinners of every "ind and des ription. !atan will be forever barred from that heavenly pla e2 'nd another sign a%%eared in heaven( behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads! His tail drew a third of the stars ) angelic hosts* of heaven and threw them to the earth! 'nd the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her +hild as soon as it was born! war bro e out in heaven( "ichael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not %revail, nor was a %lace found for them in heaven any longer! ,o the great dragon was cast out, that ser%ent of old, called the Devil and ,atan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him! -hen I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ./ow salvation, and strength, and the ingdom of our God, and the %ower of His +hrist have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down! .-herefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them0 1oe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea0 #or the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he nows that he has a short time!2 /ow when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he %ersecuted the woman who gave birth to the male +hild! .&evelation 1/2D-3, C-1B, 1/-1D4 That serpent, !atan, and his unholy ohorts will never again rear their ugly heads in the pure and holy limate of heaven* The demons annot enter heaven. The fallen angels who rebelled against God and =who did not ee% their %ro%er domain, but left their own abode> .:ude 12A4 annot return to heaven. 5othing will be la "ing in heaven. 5o de tail will be left out to "eep its environment from being perfe t. 5o matter where we go on earth, no matter where we live or how expensive our homes may be, there are obvious faults and flaws to "eep them from being perfe t. In ontrast, God has made no mista"es in onstru ting the pla e alled heaven. Its glories, its beauties, its wonders are beyond human powers of des ription. The indes ribable splendor of that beautiful pla e is wondrous to behold. The ombined brillian e of the light of the !on of God refle ting on walls of +asper, gates of pearl, mansions unnumbered, and the beautiful &iver of )ife reates a s ene no artist ould ever ade@uately depi t.

#eaven is a permanent pla e. 5o enemy will ever on@uer the paradise of God. There will be no rumbling of its buildings, no de ay of its materials, and no withering or dying of its vegetation. 5o smog or radiation will ever pollute its holy atmosphere. This permanent, abiding pla e is an eternal, ontinuing ity. 'e sing this song, written by #attie Buell2 $ tent or a ottage, why should I are; They(re building a pala e for me over there,

Tho( exiled from #im, yet still I may sing, $ll glory to God, I(m a hild of the King. In that in omparable pla e, saints will find sweet deliveran e from all disappointments, hearta hes, tragedies, and disasters. There will be no more sorrow or woe. There will be no more pain. There will be no more rying2 'nd God will wi%e away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying! -here shall be no more %ain, for the former things have %assed away! .&evelation /1234 The +oyful iti7ens I saw in heaven seemed to have ome from many different ages and ountries. 6arious nationalities seemed obvious to me. Then I remembered another ! ripture I had read2 $nd they sang a new song, saying2 =3ou are worthy to ta e the scroll, and to o%en its seals; for 3ou were slain, and have redeemed us to God by 3our blood out of every tribe and tongue and %eo%le and nation!2 .&evelation E2F4

?x itedly, my soul praised the ma+esty of God* The sorrows I experien ed and the grief I suffered when I saw a revelation of hell now seemed so far away. This was a revelation of heaven. I saw entire families together. ?verybody was happy, going somewhere, doing something, smiling. $ glow gra ed every fa e I saw. $ll the saints in heaven seemed to be o upied. They were onstantly busy. They spent their time praising and magnifying God. !ongs were on everyone(s lips. The atmosphere of musi was the dominant mood. ?ternity will not be spent in leisure and la7iness, as some have mista"enly pi tured our final destination. 'e will do more than float on a loud, strum a harp, or wiggle our toes in the &iver of )ife. <ur time will be o upied in servi e to God. :ust what the nature of this servi e will be, we annot say, but there an be no doubt that #is people will serve #im.

I ould see diamonds-glittering, glistening, ex@uisite diamonds-diamonds everywhere* !ome were are as large as blo "s of on rete. !ome of these diamonds seemed to be for the mansions of those who were soulwinners on earth. It seemed that every time someone led a soul to 0hrist, heaven provided a diamond for that faithful 0hristian. The Bible says, -he fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise! .-roverbs 112DB4 -hose who are wise shall shine li e the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness li e the stars forever and ever! .%aniel 1/2D4 $s I stood drin"ing in the splendor and grandeur of that glorious pla e, I saw an immense, beautiful angel oming down a path. In his hands he held a s roll, whi h had gold edging on it. The angel laid the s roll on a pedestal table, whi h was made of a silvery material unli"e anything I had ever seen before. The oblong table literally glistened with light. The s roll had a name written on it. <ne of the saints pi "ed it up and began to read it. =:esus is the Master Builder,> a saint in heaven told me. =#e determines who deserves the diamonds and where they go. This s roll I hold is a report from earth of a person who has led someone to :esus, who fed the poor, who lothed the na"ed-who did great things for God.> 1hen the ,on of "an comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the

throne of His glory! the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will se%arate them one from another, as a she%herd divides his shee% from the goats! He will set the shee% on His right hand, but the goats on the left! -hen the 4ing will say to those on His right hand, .+ome, you blessed of "y #ather, inherit the ingdom %re %ared for you from the foundation of the world( .for I was hungry and you gave "e food; I was thirsty and you gave "e drin ; I was a stranger and you too "e in; .I was na ed and you clothed "e; I was sic and you visited "e; I was in %rison and you came to "e!2 -hen the righteous will answer Him, saying, .Lord, when did we see 3ou hungry and feed 3ou, or thirsty and give 3ou drin 5 .1hen did we see 3ou a stranger and ta e 3ou in, or na ed and clothe 3ou5 .Or when did we see 3ou sic , or in %rison, and come to 3ou52 the 4ing will answer and say to them, .'ssuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these "y brethren, you did it to "e!2 -hen He will also say to those on the left hand, .De%art from "e, you cursed, into the everlasting fire %re%ared for the devil and his angels! .'nd these will go away into everlasting %unishment, but the righteous into eternal life!2 .Matthew /E2D1-31, 3A4

ROO# FOR %*%R!,OD!

The angel repeated the wel ome theme to me2 =0ome and see the glory of your God.> $t the )ord(s dire tion, I am re ording this a ount of heaven as I saw it. 'e need to under stand that the fo us of our hopes and desires should be to spend all eternity with our )ord. #eaven is the land of dreams ome true* I(m ex ited about heaven be ause after our wor"s and labors on earth are finished, we will leave this earth and go there. God has prepared the ity, and :esus is preparing a pla e there for those of us who love #im.

Gnbro"en fellowship between God and man will be ompletely restored in heaven. 'hen $dam and ?ve were in the Garden of ?den, God paid visits to this earth. $fter fellow ship with #im was bro"en by sin and disobedien e, God ontinued to show #is desire for ommunion with man"ind. #is ultimate expression of love for man "ind was the giving of #is own !on to die a mer iless death on a ruel ross. Through 0hrist(s death and resurre tion, fellowship between God and man again be ame a possibility. ?ven now, the ir umstan es of life an hinder our intimate fellowship with God. But, in heaven there will be no more hindran es. 'e will "now perfe t fellowship with the King of Kings and the )ord of )ords. 8ellowship with #im will be omplete. #eaven is the abode of the living God. It is far above the atmospheri heavens and beyond the planets and galaxies. It is the everlasting home of =The &edeemed of the )<&%> .Isaiah A/21/4. It is the eternal destination of all the hildren of God through faith in 0hrist. 9ou do not need to fear being rowded into a tiny ubi le in heaven that has been labeled a =mansion.> 'hen the redeemed of the ages are gathered home to glory, there will be suffi ient room for all of them to have one of the many mansions, the many dwelling pla es, whi h :esus said #e was preparing for us in #is 8ather(s house2 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in "e! In "y #ather$s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you! I go to %re%are a %lace for you! 'nd if I go and %re%are a %lace for you, I will come again and receive you to "yself that where I am, there you may be also! 'nd where I go you now, and the way you now! .:ohn 1321-34 #eaven definitely has room for everyone2

'fter these things I loo ed, and be hold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, %eo%les, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with %alm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, .,alvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb02 'll the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshi%ed God! .&evelation C2F-114

$t one point I was ta"en to a parti ular pla e where the angel stopped and said to me, =God wants me to show you the room of tears.> Many times you may have read in several passages in the -salms about our tears and about how God ares for us. The angels at h our tears and put them in bottles .-salm EA2H4. Many times I had wondered about what this meant. I "now that many of you reading these words have ried many tears for your loved ones, your hildren, your mate, or your family. ?spe ially if you(ve gone through a separation or a divor e, you have felt li"e all hope was gone. 9ou have grieved over your lost loved ones. I want to tell you that God showed me a room of tears. It was so beautiful. The angel too" me to a grand entran eway that had no door. )oo"ing inside, I ould see that the room itself wasn(t large, but the holiness and power radiating from it ama7ed me. )ined with rystal shelves, the inside walls glowed with light. <n the shelves were many bottles, some of whi h were in lusters of three and loo"ed li"e lear glass. Gnder ea h spar"ling luster of glass-li"e bottles was a pla@ue with a name on it. There were many of these bottles in the room. Then inside the room I saw a man who appeared to have been glorified. #is deep purple robe was very beautiful and loo"ed li"e velvet. $n elegant table, whi h was made of a ri h-loo"ing material and glowed with ma+esti splendor, was +ust inside the door. The lavish display I saw astonished me* Boo"s were lying on the table, and they loo"ed as if they were sewn in the most beautiful sil"-li"e material I have ever seen. !ome had diamonds, pearls, and la e on them, others had green and purple stones on them. $ll of them were intri ately made. I thought to myself, =<h, God, how beautiful these boo"s are*> I love boo"s. These boo"s espe ially appealed to me. They were stunning. $s I ga7ed about, I was over ome with wonder. $t this point the man in the room said to me, =0ome and see. I want to show you this room, and I want to explain to you about tears. This is only one of many rooms li"e it. I am in harge of this room.> $s he tal"ed, a large angel ame through the entran eway. The beauty and ma+esty of this heavenly being astounded me. I noti ed that he wore a white, glistening garment with gold-edged trim that went all the way down the front. #e seemed to be about twelve feet tall and had very large wings. The angel held a small bowl in his hands. The golden bowl was filled .see &evelation E2H4 with a li@uid. The man in the room told me, >#e has +ust brought me a bowl of tears from the earth. I want you to see what we do with this.> The angel handed him the bowl, along with a pie e of paper. The note held the name of the person whose tears were in the bowl. The man in the room read the note and then went over to one of the pla es where the bottles were "ept. #e read the pla@ue under the bottle, and I "new it mat hed the person from earth who was named in the note. The man pi "ed up the bottle that was nearly full and brought it over to the bowl. #e poured the tears from the

golden bowl into the bottle. >I want to show you what we do here,> the man said to me. >Tell the people on earth about this.> Then he too" the bottle over to the table, pi "ed up one of the boo"s, opened it, and said, >)oo"*> The pages in the boo" were ompletely blan". The "eeper of the room said to me, >These are tears from the saints of God on earth as they ry to God. !ee what happens.> Then the man poured a drop from the bottle, one little teardrop, on the first page of the boo". 'hen he did, words began to appear immediately. Beautiful words, elegantly handwritten, started appearing on the page. ?a h time a tear fell on a page, a whole page of writing appeared. #e ontinued doing this page after page, time and time again. $s he losed the boo" and spo"e, he seemed to be saying to all humanity as well as to me, >The most perfe t prayers are those that are bathed in tears that ome from the hearts and souls of men and women on earth.> Then the angel with rainbow wings said to me, >0ome and see the glory of God.>

Immediately, we were transported to a huge pla e with thousands and thousands of people and heavenly beings. <h, it was beautiful* In a little while the people seemed to fade away, and an even greater display of God(s glory began to appear everywhere. The high praises of God be ame thunderous. The angeli messenger too" me to the throne of God. I saw a huge loud, a mist, and I saw an image of the Being in the loud. I ould not see God(s fa e, but I saw the glory of God and a rainbow over the throne. I heard the voi e of God, and it sounded to me +ust as :ohn de s ribed it2 >I heard a voi e from heaven, li"e the voi e of many waters, and li"e the voi e of loud thunder> .&evelation 132/4. In this mighty arena, I saw many horses with riders beside the throne. !uddenly, I saw a boo" lying on the huge altar in front of God(s throne. I saw angels bowing before #im. !tanding in awe, I wat hed this s ene, and I saw what loo"ed li"e a man(s hand ome out of the loud and open up the boo". !omehow I "new it was the hand of God that opened the boo". $ma7ed, I saw what loo"ed li"e smo"e as ending from the boo". !uddenly, the most beautiful perfume I ever smelled filled the whole area where I stood. The angel told me that this boo" ontains the prayers of the saints and that God was sending #is angels to earth to answer the prayers from the ries of their hearts. ?very body was praising and magnifying God. $s God opened up the boo", pages began to ome out of the volume and fly into the hands of the angels on the horses.

8irst, there is an atmospheri heaven. This is the atmosphere around the earth. It is where the birds fly and the winds blow. This is where showers, storms, mists, vapors, and louds are formed.

$t this point in my vision, the angel of the )ord began to reveal things to me that I had often wondered about previously. #e began to tell me about a great mystery. #e said, >God has spo"en, and I am to show you before, now, and after.

Two angels with boo"s stood outside the door of the hur h. I ould see people going in and out of the hur h. Then my angel guide signaled with his hand, and it seemed as if the roof rolled ba ", and I ould see inside the hur h. $n angel stood on ea h side of the pastor at the pulpit. Beyond those two were two more an gels. This made four angels around the pulpit. Two angels stood at the ba " of the hur h, behind the ongregation. Two more stood about halfway up the aisle, and up near the altar stood two more angels. !o there were @uite a few an gels in the hur h, and several of them had s rolls and pens in their hands. The angel said to me, >I want to show you what happens.> The pastor began to spea", and the ushers started to ta"e up the offering. $s the offering was re eived, the angels re orded the people(s attitudes in giving. They re orded the ontributors( thoughts-whether they begrudged giving to the wor" of the )ord, or if they en+oyed giving the offering and viewed it as an a t of worship. The angels logged it all in their re ord boo"s. Then the two big angels in the front of the pulpit nodded their heads at the other angels. These a tivities of the angels were invisible to the people in the hur h, but I ould see it all learly. Then my guide said to me, >I want to show you something else.

Two more angels suddenly appeared. They had s rolls in their hands, and they began to write down what the man said. Then the dea ons began to lead him through the pro ess of salvation. I saw that this man was filled with sin.

#owever, as the dea ons prayed with him, one of the angels tou hed his heart, and smo"e as dar" as a rain loud ame spewing out of his hest.

&torehou(e( of Heaven
I believe :esus 0hrist revealed heaven to me as #e did in order to give me balan e. #e "new that I had been through many visits to hell, and experien ing hell was so horrible that #e gave me the blessing of seeing heaven. <n one of my visits to heaven, I was shown God(s storehouses. The angel of the )ord said to me, >0ome and see the glory of your God.> The angel was very beautiful and tall. #is rainbow- olored wings were shaped li"e triangles. #e told me that God had given him instru tions, and he was to show me parts of heaven.

'e began to go up higher through the atmosphere and went through the entran e to heaven again. I saw fruit trees loaded with beautiful fruit. I saw families dressed in beautiful robes, wal"ing up and down the hillside, praising God. The environment was saturated with the most beautiful musi you would ever want to hear. #eavenly musi is a manifestation of +oy. It is an eviden e of happiness, a proof of +oy. I have heard magnifi ent hoirs and grand ensembles that reated and performed beautiful musi here on earth. But, saints, nothing down here an ompare with the splendor and beauty of the musi and singing there. #eaven was a symphony of musi . Imagine, if you an, millions of perfe tly pit hed voi es, sweetly singing the melodies of heaven* 5ot a single one was off-"ey. ?verything was in perfe t harmony. !tringed instruments provided beautiful a ompaniment, along with trumpets and other "inds of musi al instruments. They all blended with the voi es of the redeemed saints who were praising God with rapturous +oy. The tones of the instruments, li"e the singing voi es, had been purified and made perfe t by the power of $lmighty God. <h, it was glorious to hear the wonderful praises to God. 6oi es that are without @uality of tone or pit h on earth will sing in beautiful harmony in heaven. 'e will all be happy over there. ?ven a ten-thousand-voi e hoir here would pale in omparison with the grand and elo@uent musi of God(s elestial ity* 'ave after wave of unbelievable anthems of praise billowed over the lands ape and through the streets of heaven. It was so all- en ompassing that I ould hear or thin" of nothing else for some time. 8inally, the angel said, >0ome and see the glory of God.> I remember going with him through an area that had the greenest grass imaginable. There were huge lusters of flowers in ertain parts of the grass. The flowers were splendid and loo"ed somewhat li"e roses. ?a h plant had at least one bloom onsisting of beautiful petals. $nd, saints, the flowers loo"ed li"e they were singing*

Traveling on with the angel, we passed a pla e where there were beautiful, white horses.

Order in Heaven
1 #eaven is a busy pla e. It is filled with a I J and ex itement. $ngels are always doing things, they are always engaged in useful, industrious enterprises. <ne purpose of this boo" is to tell you how I saw the angels wor"ing in heaven. They are happy and +oyful-never tired, never sad. They are always praising God. &edeemed saints are busy in heaven, too. They always have wor" to do. ?xa tly what "ind of wor" all the saints are engaged in, I do not "now. But you an be sure that no one is idle in that fair land. !aints are busy in "inds of wor" that no one on earth has ever experien ed. They are engaged in stimulating, exhilarating, fulfilling tas"s. They are ontinually glorifying God and doing the things God ordained for them to do. 'hen I saw the angels who flew from the earth with reports, they were oming into heaven from all over the world. They had been to many hur h servi es and many prayer meetings. 'hile observing the things on the earth, they always held in their hands white pie es of paper that loo"ed li"e s rolls, whi h had gold edges. Then they would return to ertain areas of heaven and share their reports with other angels.

H%A*%".& POP'LATIO"
In one area of heaven I saw saintly men who wore beautiful, glorious, white robes. immediately, I thought of this ! ripture2 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom dec s himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels! .Isaiah A121B4 The people I saw in heaven had distin tive features and were from all nations of the earth. The #oly ! riptures say2 'fter these things I loo ed, and be hold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, %eo%les, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with %alm branches in their hands! .&evelation C2F4

$nother thing that made a lasting impression on me was the fa t that heaven is su h an orderly pla e. ?verything that was done was al ways done thoroughly, properly, and with the highest degree of ex ellen e. 5o wor" was shoddy, no produ t poor, no a tivity medio re. 'hen I saw families wal"ing on the holy hills of heaven and praising God, it was su h a beautiful sight. Their +oy and happiness were uninhibited and without restraint. They seemed to be always going and doing marvelous deeds in the )ord(s presen e. ?verything, whether done individually or in groups, was done in an orderly fashion. #eaven is ompletely free of impurities and imperfe tions. It is perfe t in every sense of the word. $ll of the alterations and hanges we are familiar with here on earth are un"nown in the paradise of God. -erfe t +oy and pea e fill the hearts, souls, and bodies of all who are there.

P%RF%-T ORD%R
%ivine, perfe t order and purpose hara teri7e everything that happens in heaven. Both angels and saints are ontinuously engaged in ex ellent, +oyful servi e. 5o one is idle. 5o one is ever bored. God(s hildren, as well as the angels and all the heavenly reatures, serve #im day and night forever. 'hen we re eive new heavenly bodies after the resurre tion of the saints, we will never grow tired or be ome wea". 'e will never "now fatigue. <ur supernatural, glorified bodies will never lose their strength. In eternity, time is suspended and ir umstan es do not ravage the mind, the will, or the body. To engage in the employments and en+oyments of heaven, we must have a heavenly nature. $nd this is what happens when we are born again-we be ome >parta"ers of the divine nature> ./ -eter 1234, as -eter explained2 His divine %ower has given us every thing we need for life and godliness through our nowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness! -hrough these he has given us his very great and %recious %romises, so that through them you may %artici%ate in the divine nature and esca%e the corru%tion in the world caused by evil desires! ./ -eter 12D-3 5I64 The ar hite ture of heaven was designed and built in eternity past by the eternal God. In one part I saw what loo"ed li"e an entire blo " of the ity of heaven. The buildings were very large, and a ross the top of ea h was a huge, impressive rown made of many +ewels. I don(t "now how many people o upied those grand buildings be ause I didn(t go inside any of them. But they were all stately and spa ious, far beyond anything you have ever seen on earth. I thought of how the ! riptures say that when we are laboring on earth for :esus, we are laying up treasures in heaven .)u"e 1H2//4. I remembered these verses2 'nd the twentyAfour elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshi%ed God, saying( 21e give 3ou than s, O Lord God 'lmighty, the One who is and who was and who is to come, because 3ou have ta en 3our great %ower and reigned! 2-he nations were angry, and 3our wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that 3ou should reward 3our servants the %ro%hets and the saints, and those who fear 3our name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth!2 .&evelation 1121A-1H4 #or indeed your reward is great in heaven! .)u"e A2/D4 'nd behold, I ) am coming :uic ly, and "y reward is with "e, to give to every one according to his wor ! .&evelation //21/4

-HARIOT& OF )OD
$s we moved to another part of heaven, the angel of the )ord said to me, >0ome and see the glory of your God.>

The angel showed me the hariots of God. The wheels of them were so large they are diffi ult to des ribe. They were studded with diamonds and pre ious rubies and emeralds. ?a h hariot had at least two wheels on ea h side. The fronts of the hariots were low and open li"e sleighs. They seemed as if they were on fire, but they were never onsumed.

God has given them eternal life. I saw them as they will be when they re eive their new, glorified bodies after the &esurre tion. !aints, you will be unbelievably happy in heaven. 'hen I was in heaven, memories of home were far away. There was no sadness there, no sorrow, no grief. I was delighted in the +oy of the )ord and awed by #is beauty. There was no dar"ness in heaven. There was only glory and might and power every where, espe ially as you neared the throne. The &iver of )ife flowed from beneath the throne, it was beautiful and loo"ed li"e a sea of glass2 'nd he showed me a %ure river of water of life, clear as crystal, %roceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb! .&evelation //214 $s I was going, the angel said, >0ome and see the glory of God.> !aints, I was ta"en at a very fast pa e by the angel to a pla e where the high praises of God and the musi seemed to grow in intensity and volume.

'hen I was with the angel of the )ord, many things o urred that I do not remember now. I was not allowed to remember some of them.

My testimony is that I am +ust a handmaiden of the )ord, and I +ust love to tell this story about the hildren. <h, the glory that we saw and the voi es of praise that we heard* $round the throne were lightning and thunder and a rainbow. There was an image of a Man inside the loud of glory that overed the throne. The angels set the bas"et they arried down on the throne and bowed. Their wing tips went up. !houts of >Glory*> and >#allelu+ah* and >-raise God*> sounded all over heaven. $gain it seemed li"e we were in a huge arena. )arge angels were blowing trumpets as if they were announ ing something. 5ow, I did not see God, but I saw the similarity of God +ust as Moses did. .!ee ?xodus DD21C-/D.4 Then I saw a hand open up the bas"et. I am sure that it was the image of God(s hand. %ear one, I(m telling you, if you ould only see the glory and the power of God +ust li"e #e revealed it to me* #is power was so da77ling and beautiful and wonderful* I saw the hand ome out of the loud and open up the bas"et. It too" that little soul out of the bas"et and laid it on the altar. Then I saw hands begin to wor" on this little soul. 'hen the tas" was finished and ompleted, the most beautiful, perfe t form of a human be gan to appear. It ontinued to develop until it be ame the most handsome young man I have ever seen.

There are no defe ts or mar"s of sin in heaven. The ! ripture about $dam(s reation ame to me. Then the )ord said, >There are no imperfe tions in this pla e. ?verything that was lost by the first $dam was restored by the se ond $dam.> It is my firm belief that the only signs of sin in heaven will be the s ars in :esus( hands and feet and side.

Then the angel and I began to go high, high up the side of a pla e in heaven. There were beautiful trees everywhere with all "inds of fruit on them. I saw flowers of every des ription.

The angel who re eived the boo" opened it, and shafts of brilliant, spar"ling light issued from it and began to flash. It reminded me of millions of firewor"s that were set off simultaneously. Then I saw parents and family members as they began to move around and gravitate to ertain individuals. They began to shout, leap, and +ump. I ould not understand what was ta"ing pla e. The angel said to me, >These loved ones are re ogni7ing their family members.> Those who had been dismembered, paraly7ed, rippled, or had died prematurely were now in a state of perfe tion.

5ow, I praise God for the opportunity to put my vision of heaven in a boo". It burns in my heart ontinually. Many people have en ouraged me to write down this testimony and share the vision of heaven that God has given to me. I have shared the heavenly vision, as well as my experien es of hell, in many hur hes where I have ministered. I want to share with you some other s enes I saw in heaven. I want you to "now that heaven is real. If you have lost a loved one, someone who has gone on before you to heaven, that per son will meet you at the gates of glory. I want to en ourage your heart, be ause we have a blessed hope in :esus 0hrist. #e has gone to heaven to prepare a pla e for us there. The angels I saw in heaven seemed to be very large and mighty* They wore glistening, shimmering robes that radiated huge amounts of light. They were powerful and sin ere.

9ou "now, the Bible tal"s about angels so mu h, with many passages referring to angels. It is ama7ing that sometimes we tend to overloo" things that God(s 'ord proves over and over. 'hen a revelation is given to someone, however, this seems to shed more light on the sub+e t. #ere are some more examples of what the Bible says about angels2 #or He shall give His angels charge over you, to ee% you in all your ways! their hands they shall bear you u%, lest you dash your foot against a stone! .-salm F1211-1/4 -he LORD, before whom I wal , will send His angel with you and %ros%er your way! .Genesis /323B4 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud!

The testimonies of heavenly worship show the beauty and the holiness of God. $s we ar rived at the pla e of assembly, I ould see people and angels everywhere. I was impressed that everything was done in order. ?verywhere, people and angels praised God. The &iver of )ife flowed forth from the throne of God. It was li"e a sea of glass, li"e a sea of rystal, but it was flowing. Then, saints, again I saw horses. The big, white, magnifi ent horses loo"ed as though they were made out of marble. They were beautiful and without a single flaw in any of them. They were elegant, li"e hess pie es, but they were physi ally real. The white blan"ets on the horses( ba "s were neatly trimmed with gold edging. Golden reins were in their mouths. They had ornaments on their feet and even on the brush of their tails. These horses stood alert before the throne. I noti ed that the twelve angels standing before the throne had trumpets and musi al horns by their sides. Their flowing, glowing garments were trimmed with gold and embedded with big rubies and all "inds of immense stones. !uddenly, I saw many musi al instruments.

!aints, be aware that every time you give money, every time you pay tithes, everything you do for the glory of God is re orded in heaven. I remember this so well be ause when the )ord showed me #is mighty glories and powers, it made an impression that will never be erased from my mind. %uring my trips, I noti ed that many an gels ame to heaven with reports from all over the earth. They would go to a ertain room with a re ording angel in harge. The messenger an gel would read the report, and the re ording an gel would as", >$re you a witness; %id you see this ta"e pla e;> 'hen the report was onfirmed, it was logged in a boo". These boo"s were eventually ta"en to the throne of God. But first, they had to go through a spe ial pro ess. I vividly remember that the !pirit of the )ord moved ontinuously in heaven. It was greater than anything on earth. Things on earth are patterned after things in heaven, but the earthly things an only be shadowy refle tions of those in heaven. Gnbelievable musi , unhindered praises, and other glories that the earth an never imagine abound in heaven. God wants people to praise #im. 8rom the opening of Genesis to the lose of &evelation, God expressed #is desire for a family to love #im. $s you read this boo", remember that heaven is a pla e God has prepared for those who love #im. !omeday I am going there. !omeday you are going there if you are born again, if you have repented of your sins, and if you have :esus 0hrist in your heart. #e an wash your sins away through #is pre ious blood. )et me tell you of the blood of the )amb, the pre ious blood of :esus.

?arlier, I des ribed the re ord rooms, but now I want to depi t another aspe t. $ number of angels sat in a ertain se tion of the re ord rooms. They had golden bu "ets in front of them. This is also a part of >the glories of heaven.> In front of the angels were sta "s of boo"s. !ome of the mar"ers in the boo"s seemed to be messages from earth. ?a h message had to be examined by a large re ording angel. I saw two other angels who brought messages from earth. There was a new message every time someone was born again, having been truly saved from his sins by a epting :esus 0hrist into his heart. 'hen someone truly repented of his sins and as"ed :esus to be his !avior and )ord, it was re orded that the person had given his life to the )ord. The angels with the golden bu "ets ea h too" a boo" from the sta ". ?a h angel held in his hands what loo"ed li"e a bloodstained loth. The red loth was mixed with glory, light, and power. It was not gory or anything li"e that-it was beautiful* ?a h angel positioned the sele ted boo" in front of him, and, starting at the first page, he expunged the written re ord with the blood stained loth. 'ith God(s dire tion, the angel erased the old history of this sinner and re orded that he or she had +ust been born again. I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for "y own sa e; and I will not remember your sins! .Isaiah 3D2/E4 0hildren, the 'ord of God is true. God truly forgives our sins. It was so beautiful to see the angels washing the pages. #allelu+ah, God wipes the slate lean for ea h of us* $s I saw this glorious thing, I heard the saints in glory sing2 Oh, nothing but the blood of =esus +an wash my sins away! Oh, nothing but the blood of =esus +an ma e me whole today! Oh, nothing but the blood of =esus +an cleanse me today!

$nd then I heard the angels singing this song2 'nother one$s been redeemed &y the blood of the Lamb! 'nother one$s been saved from the Devil$s hand &y the blood of the Lamb! 'nother one$s been saved from hell &y the blood of =esus +hrist! 5ever be ashamed to all upon the power of the blood of :esus 0hrist. #is blood was shed almost two thousand years ago to wash away our sins, and it has never lost its power sin e then* :esus on@uered the %evil >on e for all when #e offered up #imself> .#ebrews C2/,C4 and went to the ross for us. 0hrist ame down from glory. #e was born of a virgin. #e gave #is life in order that we ould be redeemed by #is pre ious blood. #e did this so that we would not have to go to hell, the awful pla e #e showed to me. %ear friends, the Gospel is true. #ow I re+oi ed when I saw the angels washing away all of the old history from the sta "s of boo"s.

ALTAR& OF )OD
I love the altars of God. 'hen I go to a !pirit-filled hur h that has a beautiful altar, I "now that many tears have been shed there. In the <ld Testament, God repeatedly ommanded #is people to go in and tear down the old heathen altars. #ere is one example2 'nd you shall destroy their altars, brea their sacred %illars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that %lace! 3ou shall not worshi% the LORD your God with such things! .%euteronomy 1/2D-34 God(s people were to get rid of the sinful altars that did not give praise to #im. They were to remove the altars that did not honor or reveren e #im, and then they were to build and "eep altars only for #is worship. #ere is an example of those instru tions2 <nly :esus an do this for you. 9ou annot do it yourself. /ow it came to %ass the same night that the LORD said to ) 2-a e your father$s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the al tar of &aal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it; FG 2and build an altar to the LORD your God on to% of this roc in the %ro%er arrangement, and ta e the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down!2 .:udges A2/E-/A4

'hen I prea h in servi es a ross the ountry, I thin" of the altars of God. 'hen we ome to the front altar of a hur h and pour out our hearts to God, we are not ashamed of #im. $ dedi ated altar is one pla e where we an be in the presen e of God, where we an all on #im and onfess our sins, as"ing #im to forgive us. Many of us feel #is awesome presen e there* 'e an "now #e answers our prayers. $t times we an feel #is arms around us. There is something wonderful about the altars-the old- fashioned altars of God-in hur hes. There you an go and "neel and +ust worship the )ord. 9ou an praise God at home, too. 9ou an do it in your ar. 9ou an praise #im anywhere. #owever, let me tell you something2 the altar is a definite pla e for an appointment to ommune with #im intimately. 'hen the <ld Testament prophets made altars to God, they ried out and repented to God for the sins of the people as well as for their own sins. $t the altar they repented and offered blood sa rifi es on behalf of the people, and God a epted their sa rifi es.

!in e 0hrist made the ultimate sa rifi e for our sins through #is shed blood, we no longer need to offer sa rifi es. #owever, we still need to repent when we are onvi ted of sin, and one of the best pla es to do that is at an altar. 'hen we see a dedi ated hur h altar, we should "neel at it and pray to God, if it is possible. It means so mu h to have an altar. 'e need one in our homes, so we an tal" to God and have a pla e +ust to be with #im. 'hen I prea h I always tell the people, >%on(t be ashamed to ome to this altar. #ere God will meet you.> 9es, #e an meet you in your seat. 5evertheless, there is something about a san tified and often-used altar where you an humble yourself, raise your hands, and say, >God, here I am.

'hen you go to the altar, don(t "neel and say, >Betty did wrong,> or >:oe did wrong.> !ay, >God, I am the one who sinned. I(m standing in the need of forgiveness.> Then, forgive those whom you have something against-forgive them. !aints, the )ord is loo"ing for a people of deliveran e, so that the blind eyes will be opened and ears will hear what the !pirit of the )ord is saying to the hur hes .&evelation /2C4. <h, the glories of heaven* If you ould only see what awaits you there* 'e go through many trials and tribulations in everyday life. !ometimes it seems that the ?nemy tries to steal everything from us, but God gives us the patien e to endure and, ultimately, the vi tory.

If you don(t have a good, solid, home hur h, I urge you to sear h for one that prea hes the true 'ord of God and believes in the power of the $lmighty to transform lives and hearts. 8ind a hur h that believes in the power of the #oly !pirit. There you will be taught the wisdom of God and an be set free from your troubles, sorrows, and grief. 9ou "now, it is important to meet together with God(s people.

They seemed to be oming from the earth in an orderly manner, and they would ome into the gates with papers in their hands. !ometimes the angels would have boo"s in whi h they had been writing.

In many servi es where I go, I see so many beautiful things that the angels are doing. 9ou "now, of ourse, that the angels are ministering spirits of the )ord sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation. .!ee #ebrews 121D4 <n e I saw a minister prophesying. $s he was prophesying, God opened up my eyes to see an angel over his head. The angel was pouring on him what loo"ed li"e oil mingled with fire, out of a horn. Then I saw the man(s heart in a vision. It was full of the Bible, the 'ord of God. The 'ord seemed to ome up from his heart, into his throat, and out his mouth. I ould see the 'ord as it ame out of his mouth. $s it hit the air, it seemed to be ome a two-edged sword. $nother angel was re ording what the man of God said. I thought, ><h, God, this is truly your 'ord going forth to the people.> Then I saw one of the angels holding the #oly ! riptures. $s the man began to prea h the living 'ord of God, the words seemed to leap off the pages of the Bible. They would go into his heart and out of his mouth. $s this happened, the words of the Bible be ame a two-edged sword. $s the minister prayed for people who were si " or affli ted with diseases, it seemed that the )ord allowed me to see a dar" spot in a lung, a leg, a heart, or wherever the affli tion was. The sword of the 'ord would go to the affe ted pla e in the body, and heat would begin to form around it. Many times when people are prayed over for healing, they say, ><h, my, I feel the heat of the !pirit.> I was allowed to see spiritually how disease was really burned out of a person(s body. It was so beautiful how the revelation of God(s 'ord began to wor". $s I saw new s"in and new ells began to grow where the old had been, I began to praise the )ord. )ater, as I tal"ed to some of them, they would say to me, >I was mira ulously healed that day.> #ere on earth, we see only in part and "now only in part.

I began to see the importan e of and the need for prophets in today(s world as well as in bibli al times.

The Bible tells us that we an > ome boldly to the throne of gra e, that we may obtain mer y and find gra e to help in time of need> .#ebrews 321A4. The 'ord assures us that we have >bold ness to enter into the #oliest by the blood of :esus> .#ebrews 1B21F4, be ause >a ording to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission> .#ebrews F2//4. 8riends, I an attest that this is true.

Then I would see the angel open the 'ord of God and shove it in !atan(s fa e. !atan would be there in the form of an evil spirit or a serpent. 'hen the angel opened up the ! riptures, the %evil would literally fall ba "ward, s reaming, be ause he "new the angel was using the two- edged sword against him. 5ow, I need to tell you that the things that I was seeing in my spirit were not always happening in the hur h where I was ministering at the time. I would see things in my spirit that ould be o urring miles away. $t times I did not "now where or when they were ta"ing pla e.

I am aware of this from ! ripture, and I believe it. Moreover, I "now it for a fa t. I have seen it in the spirit realm many times. 'hen we all on the )ord, God sends angels to help us in the power and might of #is 'ord and #is !pirit. 'hen demons have been ast out of some one in a servi e, I have seen the evil spirits ome out li"e dar" shadows or apparitions.

A "ew +orld I( -o2in0

8or many days after my final so+ourn in hell, I was desperately si ". I had to have the lights on when I slept. I needed the Bible with me at all times, and I read it onstantly. My soul was in severe sho ". I had experien ed some of what the lost endure when they go to hell. :esus would say, >-ea e, be still*> .Mar" 32DF4, and pea e would flood my soul. 9et, within a few moments I would again be s reaming, hysteri al with fear. %uring this time, I "new that I was never alone and that :esus was always there. 5evertheless, even with that "nowledge, I sometimes ould not feel #is presen e. !ometimes I was so afraid of having to go ba " to hell that I was fearful to even have :esus near me. 'hen I tried to tell others about my experien es in hell, they would not listen to me. I begged them, >-lease, repent of your sins before it(s too late.> It was diffi ult for anyone to believe what I told them about the torment that I had endured, as well as what :esus had told me to write about hell. The )ord reassured me that #e was the )ord who heals. ?ven though I was not onvin ed I would ever fully re over, omplete healing did ome, slowly but surely.

PARADI&% OF P%A-%

$nd then it happened again. $gain I was with the )ord :esus, and we were soaring high up in the s"y. :esus said, >I want to show you the love and goodness of God and parts of heaven. I want you to see the wondrous wor"s of the )ord, whi h are so beautiful to behold.> $n angel said to me, >!ee the goodness and "indness of the )ord your God. #is mer y endures forever.> There was su h a sense of love and tender ness about the angel that I was about to weep when he spo"e again, >Behold the power and might and ma+esty of God. )et me show you the pla e #e has reated for the hildren.> !uddenly, there was a large planet looming before us, a planet that appeared to be as large as the earth. /ow I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had %assed away! 'lso there was no more sea! -hen I, =ohn, saw the holy city, /ew =erusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, %re%ared as a bride adorned for her husband! .&evelation /121-/4 The next thing I heard was the voi e of the 8ather saying, The 8ather, the !on, and the #oly !pirit are all one. The 8ather and the !on are one, and the 8ather and the #oly !pirit are one. I sent My !on to die on a ross so that no one needs to be lost. I am about to show you the pla e I made for My hildren. I are greatly about all hildren. I are when a mother loses a hild, even as the fruit of your womb was ast before its time. 9ou see, I "now all things, and I are. 8rom the time there is life in the womb, I "now. I "now about the babies that are murdered while they are still in their mother(s bodies-the aborted lives that are ut off and unwanted. I "now about the stillborn and those hildren who are born with rippling defe ts. 8rom the time of on eption, ea h is a soul. My angels go down and bring the hildren to Me when they die. In heaven they are loved, and they be ome perfe t beings. I give them whole bodies and re store whatever parts are missing. I give them perfe ted bodies. $ll over the planet there was a feeling of being loved, a sense of perfe t well-being. ?very thing was perfe t. #ere and there amid the lush green grass and pools of rystal lear water were marble seats and highly polished wooden ben hes to sit on. ?verywhere I loo"ed, there were hildren engaged in all "inds of a tivities. ?a h hild wore a spotless white robe and sandals. The white robes were so bright that they glistened in the magnifi ent light on the planet. $ profusion of olor everywhere a ented the whiteness of the hildren(s robes. $ngels were the "eepers of the entran e, and the hildren(s names were all written in a boo". I saw hildren learning the 'ord of God and being taught musi from a golden boo". I was surprised to see animals of all sorts oming up to the hildren or sitting beside them while they were in this angeli s hool. There were no tears and no sorrow. ?very thing was supremely beautiful. :oy and happiness were everywhere. Then the angel showed me another planet that glowed li"e a great light before me. The light shone with the radian e of a million stars, and everything on the planet was beautiful and alive. In the distan e I saw two mountains made of pure gold, while loser to me were two golden gates, in whi h diamonds and other pre ious stones were embedded. I "new in my heart that this was the new earth and that the ity lying in splendor before me was the 5ew :erusalem-the ity of God as it will ome down to earth.

%ARTH A)AI"
Iui "ly, I was ba " viewing the old earth, but the earth as it will be after the Great Tribulation but before the final fires of $rmageddon will ultimately purge it. In this s ene, too, I saw :erusalem, the apital ity of the millennium. In my vision, I saw people oming from far and near, ma"ing their way toward this ity. #ere :esus was King, and all the nations of the earth brought #im gifts and paid #im homage. 5ot only was #e King in fa t, #e was also re ogni7ed as King of Kings*

:esus gave me the interpretation of my vision and gave me greater larity about what will happen then2 !oon I will return and ta"e ba " with Me to heaven the righteous dead first. Then after them, those who are alive and remain will be aught up to be with Me in the air. 8ollowing that, the $nti hrist will reign upon the earth for an appointed time, and there will be tribulations su h as have never been before, nor will ever be again. $nd then I will return with My saints, and !atan will be ast into the bottomless pit, where he will remain for a thousand years. %uring that thou sand years, I will reign over the earth from :erusalem. 'hen the Millennium is past, !a tan will be released for a season, and I will defeat him by the brightness of My oming. The old earth will pass away. Behold, there shall be a new earth and a 5ew :erusalem oming down upon it, and I will reign forever and ever. ----------------------------------------------------------

The Return Of -hri(t

In another vision, I saw the oming of the )ord* I heard #is all li"e the sound of a trumpet and the voi e of an ar hangel .1 Thessalonians 321A4. The whole earth shoo", and out of the graves ame the righteous dead to meet their )ord in the air. 8or what seemed li"e hours, I heard the trumpets blaring. The earth and the sea gave up their dead .&evelation /B21D4. The )ord :esus 0hrist stood atop the louds in vestments of fire and beheld the glorious s ene. I heard the sound of trumpets again. $s I wat hed, those who were alive and remained on the earth as ended to meet them2 If we believe that =esus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who slee% in =esus! #or this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and re main until the coming of the Lord will by no means %recede those who are aslee%! #or the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trum%et of God! 'nd the dead in +hrist will rise first! -hen we who are alive and remain shall be caught u% together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air! 'nd thus we shall always be with the Lord! .1 Thessalonians 3213-1C4 I saw the redeemed, as millions of points of light, onverging on a gathering pla e in the s"y. There the angels gave them robes of purest white. There was great re+oi ing. It was the angels( responsibility to serve, and they were everywhere, giving spe ial attention to the risen ones. 5ew glorified bodies were given to the redeemed, and they were trans formed as they passed through the air. Great +oy and happiness filled the heavens and the angels sang, >Glory to the King of Kings*>

TH% ,OD! OF -HRI&T

In this vision, I beheld a large spiritual body high in the heavens. It was the body of 0hrist, whi h was lying on its ba " while blood dripped to the earth. I "new this represented our )ord(s slain body. The body grew larger and larger until it en ompassed the heavens. Going into it were millions of redeemed saints. I wat hed in astonishment as millions limbed up a stair ase to the body and filled it, beginning with the feet and ontinuing through the legs, the arms, the stoma h, the heart, and the head. 'hen it was full, I saw that it was filled with people from all orners of the earth. 'ith a mighty voi e they praised the )ord2 'nd they sang a new song, saying( 23ou are worthy to ta e the scroll, and to o%en its seals; for 3ou were slain, and have redeemed us to God by 3our blood out of every tribe and tongue and %eo%le and nation, 2and have made us ings and %riests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth!2 .&evelation E2F-1B4 Millions were gathered before the throne, and I saw angels as they brought the boo"s from whi h +udgment was read. There was the mer y seat, and rewards were given to many. Then, as I wat hed in astonishment, dar" ness overed the fa e of the earth, and demon for es went everywhere.

0ountless evil spirits had been loosed from their prison and spilled forth onto the earth. I heard another loud voi e saying, 1oe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea0 #or the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, be cause he nows that he has a short time! .&evelation 1/21/4

TH% +RATH OF )OD

I saw an angry beast, and he poured out his venom upon all the earth. #ell shoo" in his fury, and from a bottomless pit ame swarming hordes of evil reatures to bla "en the earth with their vast numbers. Men and women ran rying into the hills, the aves, and the mountains. $nd there were wars upon the earth, and famine and death. $t last I saw horses and hariots of fire in the heavens. The earth trembled, while >the sun be ame bla " as sa " loth of hair, and the moon be ame li"e blood> .&evelation A21/4. $n angel announ ed, >#ear, B earth, the King is oming*> Then the King of Kings and the )ord of )ords appeared in the s"y. 'ith #im in glorious splendor were the saints of all ages, lad in purest white. I remembered that >every eye will see #im> .&evelation 12C4 and that >every "nee shall bow.. .and every tongue shall onfess> .&omans 132114 that #e is )ord. Then the angels put in their si "les and harvested the ripened grain .see &evelation 13213-1F4, whi h is the end of the world. I thought, >'e must love one another. 'e must be firm in the truth and orre t our hildren in the light of the soon oming of 0hrist. 8or surely, the King is oming*> ----------------------------------------------------------

:esus said to me, >&epent and be saved, for the 4 "ingdom of God is at hand. My will and My 'ord will be performed. -repare the way of the )ord.> Then #e de lared2 2+ommand those who are rich in this %resent age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy2 .1 Timothy A21C4. Tell them to wal" in the !pirit, and they will not fulfill the lust of the flesh .Galatians E21A4. >%o not be de eived, God is not mo "ed, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8or he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap orruption, but he who sows to the !pirit will of the !pirit reap everlasting life> .Galatians A2C-H4. >5ow the wor"s of the flesh are evident, whi h are2 adultery, forni ation, un leanness, lewdness, idolatry, sor ery, hatred, ontentions, +ealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drun"enness, revelries, and the li"e, of whi h I tell you beforehand, +ust as I also told you in time past, that those who pra ti e su h things will not inherit the "ingdom of God.
