CONSORTS AFTER DEATH.

AVING shown that there are marriages in heaven, it is now to be shown whether the marriage-covenant contracted in the world will remain and be in force after death. As this is not a matter of judgment but of experience, and as this experience has been granted me by intercourse with angels and spirits, I shall here make it known, but in such a way that reason also may assent. To know this, is among the wishes and desires of consorts. For men who have loved their wives, if they die, wish to know whether it be well with them, and also wives who have loved their husbands; and whether they shall meet again. Many consorts also wish to foreknow whether they shall be separated after death, or live together: they who have disagreed, whether they shall be separated; and they who have agreed, whether they shall live together. This information being much desired, shall now be given.
