There are testimonies by witnesses to a dying person. The dying see horrible figures which could be seen by the dying only. In some instances, the repentant, see an angel.
Charles Finney, the great evangelist, said:In all ages it has been common for some dying saints to hear music which they supposed to be of heaven and to see angels near and around them . With eyes that see what others cannot see, they recognize their attending angels as already come, “Don’t you hear that music?” say they . “Don’t you see those shining ones?They come, they come!” But attending friends are yet too carnal to see such objects and to hear such sounds;for it is the mind and not the body that has eyes . It is the mind that sees, and not the body . No doubt in such cases, they do really see angelic forms and hear angelic voices . The Bible says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints .” How gloriously do these closing scenes illustrate this truth .If this be true of saints, then doubtless wicked spirits are allowed to drag the wicked down from their dying beds to hell . Nor is it unreasonable to suppose that they too really see awful shapes and hear dreadful sounds . “Who is that weeping and wailing? Did I nothear a groan? Is there not some one weeping as if in awful agony? O, that awful thing; take him away, take him away! He will seize me and drag me down; take him away, away!"
