Miss
Eula Wilson, a girl of fifteen in |
|
She
says she was taken to heaven in cloud accompanied by two angels and her brother
who had died two years before. Heaven, she said, was sparkling with
indescribable beauty and glory. She met Jesus, who bade her enter through the
gate of pearl, saying, "Peace, peace." He led her and her brother
to a most beautiful stream of water sparkling like myriads of diamonds. She
was not able to see across the stream nor to the heights of the city. She saw
an innumerable company, a large proportion of whom were infants and little
children, and recognized many relatives but was disappointed at not seeing
some who had died as it was supposed in the triumphs of the Christian faith. |

She
says, "Everybody looked so beautiful and natural, except a glorious and
heavenly light in their eyes and on their faces. They were all dressed alike
wearing white robes, without any yoke and with loose flowing sleeves and were
all barefooted, with a halo of glory encircling their heads. There was no
earth, but all was pure gold, yet much more beautiful than our gold, and
seeming transparent." The light of heaven was glorious and came from the
throne of God. Near the stream of water were leafless trees, yet filled with
luscious fruit having neither pit nor peeling, but beautiful like the
surroundings. When plucked off, it immediately grew again. The people drank of
the stream and ate of the fruit, but Jesus told Eula not to eat or drink but
to return to earth again, warn the people of their sins, and tell them of
this beautiful place and that He was coming soon, for them to be ready. |

She
did not want to come back, fearing that she would have to endue the same
suffering, but Jesus said to her, "I will heal you so that you will not
have to suffer any more, and I will give you strength." In fulfilment of
this promise, she has been able to speak to large audiences and is gaining in
strength every day. The physicians cannot account for it. She had been sick
for seven months and had had a long death struggle. The doctors agree that
she was totally blind in one eye which was sunken and turned backward in the
socket, but she is now perfectly restored, including her eyesight. This
account is given by the "Nazarene Messenger," having been carefully
compiled from witnesses and press reports which all establish the evidence.
This is simply another witness to us that the Lord is showing signs and
wonders in these last days, as a loud call to His people to prepare for His
coming. |
