2289. THE STATE OF YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE NEXT LIFE

I have been given to know for certain that all young children in any part of the world who die are raised up by the Lord and taken to heaven, where they are brought up and trained among angels who look after them, and where they grow to maturity as they advance in intelligence and wisdom. From this it becomes clear how vast the Lord's heaven is from young children alone; for all of them are taught about the truths of faith and the goods that stem from mutual love, and become angels.
