4702. CONCERNING THE RESUSCITATION OF THE DEAD. Twice or thrice I was let into a place where there is a resurrection of the dead - really what is called place is state - where were celestials. This [that celestials are present] is known from the fact, that when the Lord and celestial angels are present, that something aromatic is perceived from corpses. And it was stated, that the Lord is there specially present, wherefore also celestial angels are there; because, without such presence of the Lord, there would be no resuscitation of the dead.
