I saw a throne, and on it sat the Father and the Son. I gazed on Jesus’ countenance and admired His lovely person. The Father’s person I could not behold, for a cloud of glorious light covered Him. I asked Jesus if His Father had a form like Himself. He said He had, but I could not behold it, for said He, “If you should once behold the glory of His person, you would cease to exist.” {FLB 40.4}

Jeg så en trone, og på den sad Faderen og Sønnen. Jeg havde blikket fast rettet på Jesu ansigtsudtryk og beundrede Hans smukke person. Faderens person kunne jeg ikke se, for en sky af herlighedslys dækkede Ham. Jeg spurgte Jesus om Hans Far havde samme skikkelse som Han? Han sagde at det havde Han, men jeg kunne ikke se den, for han sagde: "Hvis du kommer til at se herligheden fra Hans person, vil du holde op med at eksistere."
