Then my attending angel directed me to the city again, where I saw four angels winging their way to the gate of the city. They were just presenting the golden card to the angel at the gate, when I saw another angel flying swiftly from the direction of the most excellent glory, and crying with a loud voice to the other angels, and waving something up and down in his hand. I asked my attending angel for an explanation of what I saw. He told me that I could see no more then, but he would shortly show me what those things that I then saw meant. {LS 118.1}

Så førte min ledsagende engel mig hen til staden igen, hvor jeg så fire engle flyve hen til stadens porte. De overbragte det gyldne kort til englen ved porten, og da så jeg den anden engel flyve hurtigt ud af den mest overmådelige herlighed, og råbte med en høj røst til den anden engel, og vifte noget op og ned i sin hånd. Jeg spurgte min ledsagende engel om en forklaring på det jeg så. Han fortalte mig at jeg ikke kunne se mere af dette, men han ville kort vise mig hvad de ting jeg så, betød.
