Chap. 360---Worlds Upon Worlds to be Visited

"Thus saith the Lord.... I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all
their host have I commanded. Isaiah 45:11, 12.
Many seem to have the idea that this world and the heavenly mansions constitute
the universe of God. Not so.
God has worlds upon worlds that are obedient to His law. These worlds are
conducted with reference to the glory of the Creator. As the inhabitants of these
worlds see the great price that has been paid to ransom man, they are filled with
amazement.
The Lord has given me a view of other worlds. Wings were given me, and an
angel attended me from the city to a place that was bright and glorious. The grass of
the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants
of the place were of all sizes; they were noble, majestic, and lovely. They bore the
express image of Jesus, and their countenances beamed with holy joy, expressive of
the freedom and happiness of the place.
I asked one of them why they were so much more lovely than those on the earth.
The reply was, “We have lived in strict obedience to the commandments of God,
and have not fallen by disobedience, like those on the earth.” Then I saw two trees,
one looked much like the tree of life in the city. The fruit of both looked beautiful,
but of one they could not eat. They had power to eat of both, but were forbidden to
eat of one. Then my attending angel said to me, “None in this place have tasted of
the forbidden tree; but if they should eat, they would fall.”
Then I was taken to a world which had seven moons. There I saw good old
Enoch, who had been translated.... I asked him if this was the place he was taken to
from the earth. He said, “It is not; the city is my home, and I have come to visit this
place.” He moved about the place as if perfectly at home.
I begged of my attending angel to let me remain in that place. I could not bear
the thought of coming back to this dark world again. Then the angel said, “You must
go back, and if you are faithful, you, with the 144,000, shall have the privilege of
visiting all the worlds and viewing the handiwork of God.”
