We all entered the cloud together, and were seven days ascending to the sea of glass, when Jesus brought the crowns, and with His own right hand placed them on our heads. He gave us harps of gold and palms of victory. Here on the sea of glass the 144,000 stood in a perfect square. Some had very bright crowns, others not so bright. Some crowns appeared heavy with stars, while others had but few. All were perfectly satisfied with their crowns. And they were all clothed with a glorious white mantle from their shoulders to their feet. Angels were all about us as we marched over the sea of glass to the gate of the city. Jesus raised His mighty, glorious arm, laid hold of the pearly gate, swung it back on its glittering hinges, and said to us: “You have washed your robes in My blood, stood stiffly for My truth, enter in.” We all marched in and felt we had a perfect right there. {1T 60.3}

Vi gik alle sammen ind i skyen og var syv dage om at stige op til glarhavet, hvor Jesus bragte kronerne (61) og med sin egen højre hånd satte dem på vore hoveder. Han gav os guldharper og sejrspalmer. Her på glarhavet stod de 144 000 i en fuldkommen firkant. Nogle havde meget strålende kroner, andre ikke så strålende. Nogle kroner syntes at være fulde af stjerner, mens andre kun havde få. Alle var fuldstændig tilfredse med deres kroner. Og de var alle iklædt en herlig hvid kappe fra deres skuldre til deres fødder. Der var engle overalt omkring os, da vi marcherede over glarhavet til stadens port. Jesus løftede sin mægtige, herlige arm, tog fat på perleporten og svingede den tilbage på dens glitrende hængsler og sagde til os: "I har vasket jeres klæder i mit blod og holdt standhaftigt fast ved min sandhed, træd indenfor." Vi marcherede alle ind og følte, at vi havde fuldkommen ret til at være der.
