Not long from now, saints.
“You are going now, said they, to the Paradise of God, wherein you shall see the Tree of Life, and eat of the never-fading fruits thereof;
“and when you come there you shall have white robes given you, and your walk and talk shall be every day with the King, even all the days of Eternity.
“There you shall not see again such things as you saw when you were in the lower region upon the earth, to wit, sorrow, sickness, affliction, and death, for the former things are passed away. …
“The men then asked, What must we do in the Holy Place? To whom it was answered,
“You must there receive the comfort of all your toil, and have joy for all your sorrow; you must reap what you have sown, even the fruit of all your prayers and tears, and sufferings for the King by the Way. In that place you must wear crowns of gold, and enjoy the perpetual sight and vision of the Holy One, for there you shall see Him as He is.
“There also you shall serve Him continually with praise, with shouting, and thanksgiving, whom you desired to serve in the world, though with much difficulty because of the infirmity of your flesh. There your eyes shall be delighted with seeing, and your ears with hearing the pleasant voice of the Mighty One.
“There you shall enjoy your friends again, that are gone thither before you; and there you shall with joy receive even every one that follows into the Holy Place after you. There also you shall be clothed with glory and majesty, and put into an equipage fit to ride out with the King of Glory.
“When He shall come with sound of trumpet in the clouds, as upon the wings of the wind, you shall come with Him; and when He shall sit upon the throne of Judgment, you shall sit by Him; yea, and when He shall pass sentence upon all the workers of iniquity, let them be angels or men; you also shall have a voice in that judgment, because they were His and your enemies. Also when He shall again return to the City, you shall go too with sound of Trumpet, and be ever with Him.”
