“Passing from this world into eternity is like being a small seed. When we pass into eternity, we will grow as a beautiful flower. Recall that a squirmy worm transforms itself into a beautiful butterfly. Our present state is similar to a seed that God tends with great care. He is watering us and feeding our souls. Upon death, we will sprout forth and grow throughout eternity, growing beautiful, ever becoming like Christ. As that crawling caterpillar transforms itself a butterfly, so also does the soul of a Christian passing from this world into the next world.”

“I was amazed! I never would have guessed that a colossal transparent golden sphere holds the insides of Heaven. Enclosed inside this sphere is God’s house, New Jerusalem. The sphere is of Biblical proportions; to stand and gawk at it; to try to take it all in, and try to understand what the Master of this universe has accomplished. Awesome; just awesome.”

“Remember that Scripture tells us that heaven is a place which human words are inadequate to describe fully:   1Corinthians 2:9 - But as it is written: “The eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.”

“Beautiful, splendid, and magnificent do not justify my description. Magical beams of light, emanating from New Jerusalem, shone in every direction. They poked their shining fingers of living light into places were shadows can never darken. The cubical city was bright with intense colors. Its hues were more than the colors of a springtime rainbow. The colors were not those of an Earth rainbow. Impossible colors dazzled. Colors I have never seen. These new colors were indescribable! The city sparkled as an excellent cut diamond. Like the fire of a diamond, its internal and external colors of light scattered its light in all directions.”

“As we moved along, both the angel and I stood erect. Our surroundings were as if inside a tunnel; a walled tunnel created from brilliant stars. Each star was bright. Standing, moving forward I realized that every star shined a different color. I realized there were star colors that I did not recognize. Now as then, I cannot describe those colors, but they were not of the normal red, green, yellow, and blue spectrum. We whizzed past those colorful stars at a fantastic, blurry speed.”

“The Earth had melted away behind a mass of gorgeous, glistening stars. Still facing the wrong way, I remember calmly asking the angel, “Why did we stop?” “Turn around,” the angel said, whose inaudible voice seemed to chuckle. I turned around to face a most amazing sight. The angel stretched his arm outward and downward. His palm turned upward, exactly like the angel had gesticulated in my 1977 dream. With a giant sweep of his hand from left to right, he stated, “Behold!” Facing forward I beheld The Scene. My eyes feasted on a huge spherical globe! I fixed my clouded eyes upon a spectacular, panoramic view of God’s house. Our inheritance; paradise lost. The whole thing was bright and rich.”
