An unnamed Saint experiences a spiritual manifestation where a heavenly messenger unfolds the glory of other worlds. The Saint describes seeing God, the redeemed and sanctified, and a vision of the earth after it is made new. The vision provides a sense of peace, revealing that those who are faithful shall pass the portals of the grave without the sting of sin. This experience serves as an answer to the seeker's inquiry regarding death and the future, helping them to see beyond the veil of mortality.
In Their Own Words
“The light, like the lightning, illuminates my understanding, and the still small voice of a good spirit from a better world whispers an answer of which is more than earth can give, whilst the heavenly messenger unfolds to me the glory of other worlds: My soul is overwhelmed with the prospect, and it is as the joy of a long absent son returning to his kindred associations, and awakening to a bright recollection of eternal scenes in which he had before mingled. I behold no pain nor sorrow, for death has never entered those blest abodes there is no tearful eye betokens grief, neither does the light of the sun increase its glory, for the Lord God in His majesty, whose brightness is above that of the firmament, is the light thereof, and that continually, for there is no night there. — Millennial Star 14:16”
