The Adullam children were caught up in vision to this city of God. How they could see
the city I do not know.
How Abraham saw it I do not know.
How Paul could be caught
up to Paradise, either in the body or out of the body, I do not know. These things are
beyond natural order. We need not, at present, know the
How. We know the
Fact.
John was shown the city. He was told by the Lord to write the things he had seen and
send them to the Churches.
In the Spirit Adullam children were caught up to this city time after time, not as in a
dream but as a living reality. Their visits were so real, in fact, that the children supposed

Visions Beyond the Veil
their souls actually left their bodies to go to heaven and return, or that in some
unaccountable way they had gone to heaven soul and body just as they might in daily
life visit some distant place. Frequently when in Paradise the children were plucking
and partaking of the heavenly fruit they gathered some extra to tuck in their garments
to bring back to earth for "Muh Si and Si Mu" (Pastor and Mrs. Baker).
They knew they were only on a visit to heaven and soon to return. Upon returning,
when the Spirit lifted from them, finding themselves in our Adullam rooms they
proceeded at once to search in their garments for the delicious fruit they had brought
back to please us. Not finding this fruit in their garments, a look of great surprise,
confusion, and disappointment came over their faces. They could not, for the time,
believe they had not bodily gone to heaven and come back with the fruit tucked in their
garments.
Walking on the streets of the New Jerusalem was to them as real as walking on the
streets of a Chinese city. One day, when walking down the street in bright sunshine, I
asked the boys if the visions were as real and as clear as what we then saw. "Just as
real," they said, "but much clearer due to the light in heaven and the white garments
and the cleanliness everywhere, all adding to the brightness."
When in the Spirit, the children were usually lost to their natural surroundings. In many
cases, although they supposed they were in heaven, they talked aloud, describing what
they saw, thus carrying on conversation that we all could hear. Often they acted out
before our eyes what they supposed they were doing in heaven.
