The King then commanded to open the gate, That the
righteous nation, said he, which keepeth the truth, may enter
in.
Now I saw in my dream that these two men went in at the gate:
and lo, as they entered, they were transfigured, and they had
raiment put on that shone like gold. There was also that met
them with harps and crowns, and gave them to them -- the harps
to praise withal, and the crowns in token of honour. Then I
heard in my dream that all the bells in the city rang again for
joy, and that it was said unto them, Enter ye into the joy of
your Lord. I also heard the men themselves, that they sang with
a loud voice, saying, Blessing and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth Upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for
ever and ever.
Now, just as the gates were opened to let in the men, I looked
in after them, and, behold, the City shone like the sun; the
streets also were paved with gold, and in
them walked many men, with crowns on their heads, palms in their
hands, and golden harps to sing praises withal.
