INSIDE THE GATES OF
HEAVEN We go first to the children's nursery within the wall surrounding the Most Holy Place. Here the souls of infants from earth, including premature infants, begin to realize their existence. The infants are put into classes by angels according to their abilities for either music or art or science, etc. Then they are taught the knowledge and skills of Heaven by very patient and loving feminine angels. The infants and their angel teachers live in the Light of God the Father and Jesus the Lamb as this Light shines through this wall and through these rooms on its way to light the City of Heaven. Jesus said of little ones,
"In Heaven their angels do always
behold At an appointed day the angel teachers gather their graduating students to an assembly in a very large room. Here they are addressed by a masculine and feminine being who are companions. Listen as the feminine being speaks to the children: "Children, we have come to you by the will of Jesus who loved us and gave Himself for us that He might bring us to His beautiful home, the Holy City of God, where you now abide. "We are from earth as you are, and we have come here to be your spiritual parents and to adopt you as our spiritual children. God your heavenly Father is pleased to have you in His House, and you will not ever have to suffer the things of earth any more. "Your angel teachers are instructing you in the perfect Law of Liberty, which is the Word of God. And it is to your personal benefit that you apply yourself with all your heart, soul, mind and strength to the understanding of these principles. Let these words of God sink down deep into your intellect, emotions and will that there they may, as seeds, grow into the fruit of the Spirit, to make you sweet, kind, gentle, loving and patient. Then you will be full of praise, worship and adoration to your Divine Creator, and show love to others with lots of hugs and kisses." These orderly and obedient children take these words as permission to fellowship. So they begin to laugh and to hug and kiss one another. After a minute or so, their adopted spiritual mother says, "Children, save some hugs and kisses for your adopted parents." Hearing this, the boys and girls flock as a cloud around their spiritual parents who delight themselves with the hugs and kisses of these darling little children with their chubby little arms and sweet innocent countenances. After every child is hugged and kissed by both adopted parents, the children resume their orderly places. Then their spiritual father says, "Children, Jesus is coming very soon. Follow me and do as I do." As the words 'follow me' are spoken, the two parents unite as one in the intimacy of Perfection because this is the requirement for standing in the presence of God. The parent instructor now faces away from the children and toward a bright object approaching from a great distance. The parent instructor then lays down his beautiful jeweled crown in front of him. Seeing all this, the children, who are trying to follow instructions, are a little perplexed at not being able to unite as their parents did; neither do they have crowns to lay before them. So when the parent instructor raises his hands in worship, the children are relieved and happy to at least be able to raise their hands. The approaching Light is Jesus, followed by a multitude of heavenly beings. Jesus comes into view at an elevation which enables everyone to see Him clearly. He is seated on a golden and elaborate but conveniently-sized chair. His attendants are standing on space around Him. Jesus then says, "Let the little children come to Me." Immediately the parent says, "Children, come to Jesus," and then he proceeds up to Jesus' right hand. The children, likewise, rise up to Jesus whose smiling countenance wins their hearts. As the children are standing in a neat formation in front of Jesus, He motions to angels at His left who give each child a shining golden crown. The golden crown represents everlasting life. When each child is wearing a crown, Jesus reaches out His hands toward them causing the children to break ranks and ascend in a cloud-like formation around Him, each child wanting to hug and kiss Jesus. This scene lasts until every child is hugged and kissed and blessed by Jesus, and graduated to the next grade. Then Jesus, with His company, departs, leaving the children with the reality of a loving Savior -- and leaving the attendants of this nursery on 'cloud nine,' living in Heaven and living in the Spirit.
