Upon Death, the Dead Will Gravitate to Heaven or Hell Based on Their Moral Nature

In 1848, Marietta Davis, a twenty-five year old woman living in Berlin, New York, fell into a coma, from which neither family nor doctors could arouse her. She awoke nine days later and related to her family and her minister a detailed vision of heaven and hell. Her vision was recorded in a book entitled Scenes Beyond the Grave, and excerpts of the book are found below.

According to Davis, people upon death will gravitate to heaven or hell, based on their moral nature:

[The angel] touched me with the sabre of light in her hand and as she did, I found I could see the immortal nature of all the dying people. I was able to see their spirits. I stood spellbound as I watched them leave their bodies and enter the regions of eternity, tentatively stepping out into new and untried experiences.
Then I noticed that spirits of different kinds were gathered around each dying form. They were there to meet the earthly spirits as they entered the new regions. People of all classes and types were met – some by evil and wretched spirits, others by bright and holy angels sent from God. This gateway of death was the common transition state between earth and eternity.
As the people left their bodies, they were attracted to spirits of similar moral nature. Evil and unholy people joined like-minded spirits and then moved off towards regions that were covered by dark clouds. People who loved good and had formed relationships with good people were escorted by holy angels to the heavenly glories above.
