Multitude of Saved Souls Gather Before God's Throne

Multitudes  of saved souls gather before God's throne for the convocation. There thousands of choristers
by the blessed bishop of all souls,
Our Lord Jesus, accompanied by Moses and Paul, took  His place beside the Father.

We widened the circle of our vision and behold we saw a vast number of seats both at the back and also at the right and left of the throne.  They rose in terrace form like a great am phi- theater.  These, we soon found, were filling up with the great chorister of heaven.  They filed in with beautiful order, each having a golden harp.  At last the seats were all filled with those who had been the most devoted leaders in the choirs of earth, with very many also who never sang in an earthly concert, but because of heavenly musical voices trained in the praises of God on earth, they were chosen by the blessed Bishop of all souls in heaven for these great occasions.the throne,

I looked again.  The elders had mostly taken their places, many of whom we had met.  They gave a lovely bow of welcome.  When all our anxieties were gone and we felt much at home.

I looked again, with adoring wonder, and lo, our blessed Lord Jesus Himself accompanied by Moses and Paul came to the throne.  Our Lord took His place beside His Father; Moses and Paul beside the elders.

Countless throngs were pouring in from all directions.  Chariots were bringing tens of thousands.  The robes of the high priest of ancient times could not compare to the beautiful flowing draperies of these millions of the blood-washed.  All seemed so happy and joyous.  Many of our friends whom we had known on earth so well, and who had come from remote parts of the city or paradise now came to greet us.  My own mother, Genevive and Mary were among them.  Dear old grandfather, now so young and beautiful, also stood with us.  Several comrades of my youth, who had passed on many years ago also came.  Among them was one whom I never expected to see in heaven, but who, like the thief on the cross, was saved in last days of his life, and although he had spent a long time in the remoter regions of paradise as he afterward told me, yet now he was here.  We had many congratulations and joyful unions, while the great concourse was filing in.
