Wesley's Notes for Acts 7:54

7:55 But he looking steadfastly up to heaven, saw the glory of God - Doubtless he saw such a glorious representation, God miraculously operating on his imagination, as on Ezekiel's, when he sat in his house at Babylon, and saw Jerusalem, and seemed to himself transported thither, #Eze 8:1 |- 4. And probably other martyrs, when called to suffer the last extremity, have had extraordinary assistance of some similar kind.

7:56 I see the Son of man standing - As if it were just ready to receive him. Otherwise he is said to sit at the right hand of God.
