Contents of the final vision: THE SON OF MAN AT GOD'S RIGHT HAND
Name of the consenting witness: SAUL OF TARSUS
The subject, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, was chosen among the seven to serve the daily distribution so the apostles could devote themselves to prayer and the word.
Full of grace and power, the subject did great wonders and signs among the people. Opponents who disputed with him could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Seized on false charges, the subject stood before the council, his face like the face of an angel. He answered with a sweeping account of Israel's history, indicting his hearers for resisting the Spirit.
Gazing into heaven, the subject saw the glory of God and the Son of Man standing at his right hand. Enraged, the council rushed him out of the city.
As they stoned him, the subject prayed, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit, and, Lord, do not hold this sin against them, then fell asleep. The witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
