On the morning of October 23, 1879, about two o’clock, the Spirit of the Lord rested upon me, and I beheld scenes in the coming judgment.... The great day of the execution of God’s judgment seemed to have come. Ten thousand times ten thousand were assembled before a large throne, upon which was seated a person of majestic appearance. Several books were before Him, and upon the covers of each was written in letters of gold, which seemed like a burning flame of fire: “Ledger of Heaven.” One of these books, containing the names of those who claim to believe the truth, was then opened.... As these persons were named, one by one, and their good deeds mentioned, their countenances would light up with a holy joy.... {FLB 214.2}

Klokken to om morgen den 23. oktober, 1879, hvilede Herrens Ånd over mig, og jeg beskuede scenerne for den kommende dom. . . . . Den store dag for Guds domfældelse synes at være kommet. Titusinde gange titusinde var samlet foran en stor trone, hvorpå der sad en person med majestætisk udseende. Flere bøger blev åbnet for Ham, og på hvert omslag stod skrevet med guldbogstaver, der virkede som en brænde ildflamme: ”Himlens protokol.” En af disse bøger, med navnene på dem, som hævdede at tro sandheden, blev åbnet. . . . Idet disse personer blev nævnt, en for en, og deres gode gerninger nævnt, lyste deres ansigter op med en hellig glæde. . . .
