Twenty-four days after the first vision came the second: seated at a table with friends, he rose and his body dropped dead; a manservant tied the body up with rope like a piece of beef and asked why he had died, and he answered that the time had come.

| 1959-09-11 [exact/certain/final] | The Second Vision | So the second vision came. Twenty-four days later, I am seated at a table with friends, and as I rose, my body dropped dead. And then came a manservant and tied it up with a rope as you tie up a piece of beef for the oven. You could see the flesh jump as the cord drew tight. And he said, “You were not sick; why did you die?” And I said, “There is a time to be born and a time to die; and a time to plant and a time to reap, and the time has come.” | 529142 |
