268. THE SOULS OF MEN ARE TRANSFERRED INTO HEAVENLY JOY ON SEEING THE GLORY OF GOD MESSIAH There were shown me today two whom I had known during their life, and with whom I conversed; the conversation was concerning heavenly joy, and that the delight of conversing with man after death, was nothing in comparison with the joy in the heavens. These two were then carried away into the more interior heaven, into a certain habitation there, and spoke with me from there then as if from on high; although it was only from the more interior heaven. And they testified that such joy is ineffable, and that terrestrial and worldly delights are nothing in comparison. 1747, Nov. 24, o.s.
