As I was going to sleep in the evening ...I did pray of heart to Jesus ...that he would measure the words of my prayer and receive the plainness of my heart ...for the matters of God that I did not understand ...neither could I know of my own thinking or asking ....
And I was given a vision ...or ...a dream I do not know ...for it seemed I was still awake ...yet the dream he gave me was as a dream ...nevertheless ...here is what the Lord showed me ...
I was quickly taken (the next thing I saw) ...to a place high above the earth ...and found myself standing on ...as it was the plain of Heaven ...and as far as I could see ...did the plain of Heaven stretch out ...smooth and perfect ...level ...as a sea of glass ...
And I looked roundabout ...above and below where the earth was held ...and the deepest darkness was upon the whole of the earth ...and eeek (for it was scary) and all of heaven above the earth could not be seen from the earth ...for all was the deepest darkness ...so much so that not one man could see ...not even a little ...for there was no light whatsoever on the earth ...and from the earth ...heaven could not bee seen ...
Now upon the plain of Heaven there were three lights ...(nevertheless not one single bit of this light could be seen from the earth ...) For the lights were above the plain of Heaven ...(this glassy sea) yet no light shined upon the earth ... and of these lights I was given ...for I looked to my right ...and knew ...one light was God my father and the other was my Lord Jesus ...yet and even was light shining on me ...(and I thought it was that I might see) ...and so it was that I stood there ...on the perfect glassy plain ...looking at the darkness of all matters ...even of Heaven and earth.
And Behold ... small yet exceedingly bright lights appeared ...small because I could not see them plainly... for they were afar off ...yet these were given of God ...and came from the light of him ...and they were as lighting ...in swiftness and brightness ... and these lights did quickly move ...and were sent down to the earth ...and it was given me in the quietness of my heart ...that these were angels sent there to help and gather up those whom God had chosen ...out of the darkness of the earth ...
