Because certain ones of the dead at the entrance to heaven drew away angrily in search of a different heaven, so they thought, where someone other than God the Messiah reigned, finally they imagined they had found another heaven, one where Mohammed reigned (no doubt they had talked to Mohammedans who had died some years before). When they were about to show this heaven to others whom they wanted to lead away, it appeared to me as if another so-called heaven in the depth was being opened, from which I could hear them speaking. I was then informed that they were Mohammedans who imagined they were coming there to their own heaven, to stay there. After I had spoken with them for a while, God the Messiah appeared to them in glory, through an Angel, whereupon they fell on their faces in devout adoration. After this Mohammed was quickly raised up from there, and was present with me and spoke with me at length; and I can bear witness that when he had been instructed about God the Messiah, he spoke kindly - and more kindly than many Christians (I could feel that he was speaking as he was thinking), and he instructed those who were in the depth that he could do nothing whatever from himself, and that he realized that he was no God, but a simple man, and that certain spirits had chanced to speak with him. He also wants to be instructed in the doctrine of true faith. I even showed him the city of Amsterdam and the Town Hall there* from two sides, as well as inside, and he was amazed at the great number of marble works. He is now also present and affirms this fact. 1747, the 14th day of December. * I.e. the Stadhuis.
