2258. About some who were carried up into heaven

Some believers were carried up into heaven, and others who were not believers were angered that the others had been raised up, and not themselves. So these too were led up into a group of heavenly beings, but said that they were choking for breath, and instead of heavenly joy, they had only distress. So they were driven out of their own accord, being unable to stay in the company of the heavenly, and in their joy; while the first ones said that they are full of joy. 1748, 9 June.
