CHILDREN IN HEAVEN

THE ANGEL HELD OUT HER hands, and two children drew close to her. She introduced them to Marietta, saying that they both had died while very young and due to their innocence had been brought to the infant area of Heaven. The older of the two children expressed his gladness that Marietta was with them because when she returned to earth, Marietta would be able to comfort their parents with the great joy the children now experienced. These children knew that unlike Heaven, earth was filled with sorrow and death.

Suddenly, another angel passed above them, and Marietta asked who it was. The angel told her that it was another angel who belonged to the “infant Heaven,” a guardian of these little ones who met them as soon as they left the earthly world and entered the spiritual one. Marietta then saw a very small, faint light. When the angel breathed upon this light, it was revealed to be an infant at rest. And as suddenly as it had appeared, the angel, and infant with her, disappeared.

From Earth’s Viewpoint

Marietta then saw a far different scene. Below her, she beheld a woman weeping over the body of her lifeless child, whose cheek she kissed. A man entered the room, attempting to comfort this mother with the Scriptures that tell of God’s care for children.

The scene moved to the funeral for the dead child, where the mother’s face was filled with despair. The same man stood before the child’s casket, reading from Psalms and exhorting those present to believe from the Bible that the child lived in Heaven, taken there by an angel.

This picture faded, and one of the two children with Marietta told her that the child in the vision was himself. The woman was his own mother, and the man was a minister. The angel they had seen was the very one who had escorted him to a special nursery in Heaven prepared for infants. Did Marietta want to visit that place?

Beauty and Harmony

Marietta, the angel, and the two children began to ascend to a beautiful city surrounded by flowers and filled with stately buildings, shady trees, and colorful, melodious birds. The farther they went, the more beautiful and harmonious the buildings and the whole atmosphere became. The numerous avenues led to a central area where there was a building that appeared to be constructed of delicately carved marble. It supported a vast dome.

This was the home of all the infants in Heaven. Along the avenues, there had been other buildings. These were the “nurseries” where infants were first brought and instructed in the truths of Heaven.

This angelic servant proceeded to explain that when an infant died on earth, the guardian angel escorted him to Heaven and grouped him with others of similar artistic, scientific, and social abilities, where that child could best develop. There were seven guardian angels over each building who directed the infants’ instruction, and the buildings themselves were grouped into “families” of seven. This
