In her writings, Ellen White describes a vision of a seven-day journey to heaven. She wrote, "We all entered the cloud together, and were seven days ascending to the sea of glass, when Jesus brought the crowns, and with His own right hand placed them on our heads" (EW 16).

"We all entered the cloud together, and were seven days ascending to the sea of glass, when Jesus brought the crowns, and with His own right hand placed them on our heads" (EW 16).

While Ellen White does not use the specific phrase "festival in heaven," she describes several scenes of joyous celebration and worship in the heavenly kingdom. Here are some of those descriptions: **Music and Song in Heaven:** * "There will be music there, and song, such music and song as, save in the visions of God, no mortal ear has heard or mind conceived." (Ed 307.1) * "The nations of the saved will know no other law than the law of heaven. All will be a happy, united family, clothed with the garments of praise and thanksgiving. Over the scene the morning stars will sing together, and the sons of God will shout for joy, while God and Christ will unite in proclaiming. 'There shall be no more sin, neither shall there be any more death.'" (PK 732.2) **A Joyful Reunion:** * "We all went under the tree, and sat down to look at the glory of the place, when Brethren Fitch and Stockman, who had preached the gospel of the kingdom, and whom God had laid in the grave to save them, came up to us and asked us what we had passed through while they were sleeping. We tried to call up our greatest trials, but they looked so small compared with the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory that surrounded us, that we could not speak them out, and we all cried out, 'Alleluia! heaven is cheap enough!' and we touched our glorious harps and made heaven's arches ring." (LS 67.2) **A Song of Victory:** * "We want to get in the habit of talking of heaven, beautiful heaven. Talk of that life which will continue as long as God shall live, and then you will forget your little trials and difficulties... if we never meet again in this world, may we meet around the great white throne, to sing the song of victory together in the kingdom of God." (HS 146.4) **A Recurring Hymn of Heavenly Rest:** Ellen White often quoted a hymn that describes the joy of reaching heaven: * "The King of that country, He is fair, He's the joy and light of the place; In His beauty we shall behold Him there, And bask in His smiling face. We'll be there, we'll be there in a little while, We'll join the pure and the blest; We'll have the palm, the robe, the crown, And forever be at rest." (1T 70.5)
