THE PEARLY GATES

There are Pearly gates in The First Heaven, and in all the other Heavens.  They are guarded by angels.  St. Peter is in charge of all of them.  However, the Pearly Gate in the First Heaven is his primary charge.  When he is piloting a space shuttle as he was when he first came for Jack and when he brought him back to me,  St. Mark is in charge of the First Heaven Pearly Gate.  The other apostles take care of the other Pearly Gates on a rotating basis.

The Pearly Gates look as if they are carved out of one large pearl.  They glisten in the light.  The ethereal , exquisite atmosphere is present at all times around the Pearly Gates.  The Pearly Gates in all the Heavens are the same.

THE THIRD HEAVEN

This is where the streets are paved with gold and the real mansions are located.  There are large trees, lovely lawns, and flowers, which as in the First Heaven, do not require upkeep, but stay beautiful all the time.  There are formal gardens around the mansions which do not ever need pruning or care.

There is only one Temple here.  It is for both Christian and Jewish people.  It has the same type of furnishings as the Christian Temple in the First Heaven, plus Judaic accoutrements in addition to a large Torah.  Only priests, former ministers of God’s word, whatever denomination they represent on earth, rabbis, monks and nuns live here, but they are allowed to ask some relatives who are not qualified, to live here, other than their spouses.

Jack and the other visitors spent the rest of the day in the Third Heaven.  He and chauffeur driven vehicles.  There are large theaters, grocery stores, and distribution centers as in the First Heaven.

St. Mark allowed Jack to fly his plane for about two hours from the First Heaven to the Third Heaven.  Jack always loved to fly, and had his own small aircraft for a while.  He was elated to be allowed to fly for St. Mark.  He would love to have the job of flying from the First Heaven to the Third Heaven.  This is a regular shuttle service also. There are 24 Cessna Beach Bonanzas which fly people from the Third Heaven to the First Heaven and back when they are participating in the Temple services in the First Heaven.

On the Third Heaven there are 200,000 acres in production of vegetables, another 200,000 acres in fruit trees and 200,000 acres in grape vineyards. There are four facilities for making wine, grape juice, and jelly.  There are 2,000 head of Holstein milk cows and barns to accommodate them.  Approximately 4,000 acres are devoted to growing cattle feed; 2,000 in corn and 2,000 in maize.

There are mines in the Third Heaven.  There are diamond mines in addition to the same minerals found in the First Heaven.

The small planet that is the Third Heaven is about one-fourth the size of the First Heaven.  There are many people going back and forth between these planets every day.  Each of these planets has a name, but my method of obtaining information was so limited that I know of no way to obtain this information.

There are clothing stores, beauty shops, barbershops, dry goods stores and small boutiques.  These places are expensive compared with the amount of spend able money people have.  There are  casinos and restaurants, and a larger number of people eat out than in the First Heaven.  There are parks with animals in them which do not hurt people just as in the First Heaven.  People also picnic in the parks and use the large swimming pools.
