<font size="3">Inside the city, the children knew the meaning of the
Scripture which says, “you are come into the city of the living
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to <b>innumerable hosts of angels”
(</b>Hebrews 12:22). Not only about the gates of the city were these
happy angels, but also throughout the city everywhere were these
heavenly hosts. Angels were always ready to escort the children from
place to place throughout the city; angels walked with them and
talked with them; angels explained to them the meaning of things they
did not understand, even as they talked with John and revealed to him
the things of God. Often in these experiences with the angels our
children were given harps and taught to play them and sing as the
angels did. They were also taught to blow the trumpets and were
taught</font></p>

<font size="3">When we saw the children, with closed eyes, all dancing
about the room in rhythm, we found that in vision they were dancing
with the angels in heaven and keeping time to the heavenly music.
When we saw them apparently blowing a trumpet or going through the
motions of playing a harp, we found that in vision they were joining
the heavenly orchestra in the praises of the King. We could not see
the heavenly harps or trumpets. We could not see the angels' joyful
dance or hear their song. We could hear only the children singing
heavenly songs. It was a daily sight to find some child off in a
corner by himself, lying comfortably on the pine needles, going
through the motions of playing a harp. Upon going near, we could hear
him singing a new song we had never taught him. Approaching still
nearer, we would discover that the words were as strange to us as the
tune. The singer was singing in the <b>heavenly choir.</b> His song
was the song the angels taught him. The words of the song must have
been in the language of angels. (“<b>If I speak with the tongues of
men and of angels.” 1 Corinthians 13:1).</b> Seeing the children
singing in this heavenly angelic choir was a sight not to be
forgotten. Sometimes several of them in some place in the heavenly
city or its wonderful Paradise would decide to play and sing
together. With closed eyes, while fully under the power of the Holy
Spirit, three or four of them would get off by themselves. If we were
near, we would hear a consultation as to who would play the trumpet
and who would sing. After all was decided and everybody was ready,
the heavenly hymns began. The trumpeters held their hands up before
them and blew as though blowing trumpets. The harpists both played
and sang, while those without instruments joined in the singing. In
these cases they always sang in languages we did not understand,
unless by mutual agreement they decided to sing one of those hymns
they “used to sing down on earth.” In that case they sang in
Chinese.</font></p>

<font size="3">Soon after entering the gates of the city the children
were escorted by the angels to “go and see Jesus.” We could hear
these children talking about “going to see Jesus” and see them as
in vision they were approaching the throne of Christ. When they came
into the wonderful presence they stood reverently gazing with love
and devotion upon the Lord of all creation, who was also their
Savior. First of all they thanked Him, and adoringly worshiping Him
they joined their hands before them, bowing in true obeisance. They
then knelt and bowed their faces to the floor in true worship “in
spirit and truth,” <b>(“The hour comes, and now is, when the true
worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such
does the Father seek to be his worshipers.” John 4:23), </b>which
few if any know on earth who have not the baptism of God's Holy
Spirit.</font></p>

<font size="3">The throne of Christ the children saw as did John when
he was “in the Spirit”: “and behold there was a throne set in
heaven, and one sitting upon the throne; and he that sat was to look
upon like a jasper stone and a sardius: and there was a rainbow round
about the throne, like an emerald to look upon. And round about the
throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four
and twenty elders sitting arrayed in white garments: and on their
heads crowns of gold, - and there were seven lamps of fire burning
before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.” Revelation
4:3-6.</font></p>

<font size="3">On either side of the beautiful golden streets were
buildings side by side, a room for each person, every room opening
onto the street. Upon the door and about the front were precious
jewels so resplendently brilliant that the building shone with light
and glory. The name of each occupant was above the door. Angels led
the children into the rooms. Within all the rooms were the same kinds
of furnishings: a beautiful golden table upon which was a Bible, a
flower vase, a pen, and a book; by the table was a golden chair;
there was also a wonderful golden chest and a golden bed. In each
room was a jeweled crown, a golden harp, and a trumpet. The walls
were gold. From the Bible, made of such paper as had never been seen
on earth, and bound with gold, light and such brilliant glory shone
forth that the whole room needed no other light. The visitors were
told that when they came to stay after death they could go out into
Paradise and pick any flowers of their choice to place in the
beautiful vase on the golden table. (Since the first edition of this
booklet, a letter from a woman in England was received, saying that
ten years previously both she and her son had visions of this street
and of these dwellings; both confirmed the visions of the Adullam
children regarding the external appearance and interior furnishings
of these rooms by the golden street. In a distant part of the
Province of Yunnan a tribes boy who did not know of these other
visions also saw this street. These rooms by this golden street may
be the thrones which John mentions; “I saw thrones and they sat
upon them,” Revelation 20:4.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">Adullam children have had visions of other parts of the
New Jerusalem with its spacious parks and elaborate mansions. Tribes
people have also seen this part of the city. An account of these
visions with others of the New Jerusalem and the teaching of the
Scriptures regarding this city and the New Heaven and the New Earth
is given in detail in a book entitled “The Three Worlds,” by the
author.)</font></p>

<font size="3">In these visits to heaven the children could go to their
rooms at pleasure to read their Bibles or to play their harps and
trumpets. Sometimes they took they trumpets or their harps out into
the streets or out into Paradise to play and sing with the angels and
the redeemed who are now in heaven.</font></p>

<font size="3">In these excursions through heaven the children, though
lost to their real surroundings on earth, were always conscious that
their visit to heaven was temporary. They know they were there only
to see what was prepared for them after death, so they might go back
to earth again to tell others. Angels and the Lord told these
heavenly visitors that, if they believed and obeyed, all these things
would be theirs. They not only knew they must come back to earth
again, but they sometimes knew when they were coming.</font></p>

<font size="3">One boy, after enjoying the glories of heaven, hung his
crown and trumpet up in his room so he could have them again after he
died and went to heaven to remain. He then came back to earth. The
power of the Holy Spirit left him. When he opened his eyes he was in
our Adullam room telling the wonders of his trip to heaven.</font></p>

<font size="3">Can we suppose that the Lord saved these boys, baptized
them with the Holy Spirit, and then fooled them by showing them a
figurative and mythical heaven? Impossible!!! An earthly father may
deceive his children with false hopes and false promises. Our
Heavenly Father shows his children what he has for them (Revelation
3:21), and then gives the very things which He has promised (Luke
11:9, 13).</font></p>

reading the names above each door.</font></p>

<font size="3">The first day when the Holy Spirit fell upon the
children, and one of the boys was caught up to heaven, with angels
who came to welcome him came also the two Adullam boys who were
undoubtedly saved and died the year before. These two, “Hsi Dien
Fu” and “Djan Hsing,” (The change in this latter's life was as
great as his outward appearance when he first entered the Adullam
Rescue Home, and the way he left it to go to heaven. Two weeks before
his death, while in good health, he had wonderful visions of heaven
with its city and Paradise. He was reluctant to return. Before he
died he was unconscious of his surroundings and apparently in great
pain. As hands were laid upon him and prayer was made, his body
relaxed, all evidence of pain disappeared, joy came into his face,
and he seemed to be as lost in the things of heaven as he had
previously been when in vision he was there. He had this happy
experience for about an hour, smiling and occasionally laughing
outright from sheer joy when, with this happy smile on his face, he
stopped breathing. He was truly in heaven to return to this filthy
earth no more. When under the Holy Spirit, the Adullam children
frequently saw Djan Hsing in heaven in the enjoyment of indescribable
happiness.) had with them in heaven a little girl who died in Kotchiu
four years previous, whom our children had forgotten.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">Those who had died and gone on before led those who were
caught up in the joys and wonders of heaven. They led them to see
Jesus, first of all, and to worship and thank Him. After this they
were shown their dwellings and escorted around the city or led out
into Paradise to play.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">All who went to heaven were given white garments. The
angels, also dressed in seamless garments of spotless white, had
wings, but the redeemed did not have wings. There was a clear
distinction between the two.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">Later on many more of the children saw these Adullam
boys who are in heaven. Heaven did not seem far away as, caught away
in the Spirit, they acted out heavenly visions before our eyes. With
closed eyes and radiant faces they clapped their hands and shouted
for joy to these boys who died that year, calling them to hurry over
to see some dwellings, some golden street, some new scene among the
angels, some new discovery in the garden of Paradise, or to come and
play the harp and sing with the praises of Jesus. These boys who had
died were so constantly seen in heaven and their names were so
frequently shouted in our midst with ecstasy and joy that they did
not seem far away - just out of sight. Heaven was so real, so near,
so wonderful, so certain, that if one of our children had died in
those days the others would have envied him his privilege.</font></p>

<font size="3">The step to heaven after death or at the coming of the
Lord seemed so small and the coming of the Lord so near that it
removed from our minds all mystery as to why the first disciples
could sell their possessions and face persecution and death without
wavering.</font></p>
