3142. How good spirits appear when looked into by angels
There was shown to me what looked like a long colonnade, where there were many men and maidens. The decorations I did not see so well, nor remember. I was told that angelic spirits so appear when looked at by heaven, that is, by the Lord. 1748, 13 Sept.
3142. HOW GOOD SPIRITS APPEAR WHEN INSPECTED BY THE ANGELS.
There was shown me, as it were, a long porch, where there were many men and virgins. I did not [well] see or remember the decorations. I was told that thus appear angelic spirits; when beheld from heaven, that is, from the Lord. - 1748, September 13.
3142. Quomodo boni spiritus apparent, inspecti ab angelis
Ostensa mihi quasi longa 1
porticus, ubi plures erant viri et virgines, decoramenta non ita vidi, nec memini, dictum mihi, quod spiritus angelici ita appareant, cum a coelo, hoc est, a Domino, spectantur. 1748, 13 Sept.
