HELL IS REAL!

Near Death Experiences

During the last two decades people have found the courage to speak up abut the Near Death Experience they have had. Some have had their Near Death Experience, (hereafter called," NDE") in heaven, while others have had it in hell. It is not just a case of a few here and there having them; but millions across the globe. Even Paul spoke of it in (2 Corinthians 12:1-4) Paul had an after death experience.

In the following passage,Paul is referring to himself. "I must go on boasting. Although there's nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a person in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know - God knows. And I know that this person - whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows - was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that humans are not permitted to tell." Paul also went on to say in Romans 8:39; “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The Near Death Experience Is Found in the Bible

The greatest Biblical support for the near-death experience comes from all the New Testament verses concerning love. Like the teachings of Jesus, NDE’s reveal the critical importance of love in all facets of life and death. Many NDE’s complement Jesus' teachings of unconditional love and forgiveness. In fact, my research shows that an experience of God's unconditional love is the aspect most felt by experiencers. Love is also one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit; and God is love. Because Jesus taught that bad trees do not produce good fruit, it can be safely assumed that the love found in NDE’s is good fruit and that NDE’s themselves are a good tree. It is by their fruits that we will know a bad tree from a good tree.

There is a fallacy to some people’s thinking. If Jesus died for us to save us from our sin, then even in Hell we are forgiven. WRONG! In this life we are given two gifts; (1) the gift of free will and (2) the gift of Life everlasting. There are two bridges between these two and the choice you make determine whether you will cross the bridge into eternal life or the bridge into eternal damnation and unending torment.

Everyone who has been to hell can tell you it is a place of NO REDEMPTION and utter hopelessness. SO for those who think you get forgiveness after you die and are condemned to hell and it’s fires....THINK AGAIN ! IT ISN”T GOING TO HAPPEN ! This is a warning to those who knowingly reject God and curse God and deny His very existence.

My Descent into Hell

I was a victim of not only horrible Child abuse but spousal abuse as well…not with just one husband but with two (All this is in my Book,”Touched By The Hand Of GOD” which is available However, because of my Near death Experience in Hell, God did tell me one thing. He told me that those who were not in their right mind or never heard of God – Ever ! He shows mercy to. How do I know this to be fact?

Let me tell you about my Experience in Hell before I tell you about my heavenly ones,to hear in The Audio books site at http://revealingrevelations/Audio-Books.html ).After divorcing my forst husband for adultery and abuse, I fell into the same trap again with an even more abusive husband and that is what drove me, literally, to hell.

My second husband, John's abuse had escalated and his abuse now included death threats. He would threaten to kill me and have me stuffed and placed into my very favorite rocking chair by the fireplace and use my body for dartboard practice or kill me and stuff me down the well we had on the farm and tell everyone that I had run off. His other favorite thing was to aim a 357 magnum at my head and threaten to blow my head off.

On one such occasion he almost succeeded. He had dragged me outside to the driveway and put the gun behind my right ear and was about to pull the trigger when my daughter ran out and pushed the gun away. The bullet fired and landed in a tree fifty yards away. My eardrum was blown apart but at least I was alive. Back then they didn't have any laws to protect the spouses of abusers and those of us who were; were left to fend for ourselves. The attitude was that it was deserved.

That attitude came from mostly the male gender and the law. Women were men's property and men had a perfect right to do with them as they pleased. It had gotten so bad with his constant threats of murdering me that one day during the beatings and threats of murder, I snapped and made a decision. I decided that he wasn't going to kill me, I was going to kill myself. Not even rationally thinking I had reasoned that if I killed myself that he would get no satisfaction from doing it himself. The reality was that he still would, as I would find out later.

I set in motion my suicide, I put on my prettiest colonial dress and got a waste basket from the kitchen and laid down on the couch. I took a razor and cut the vein on my arm inside the elbow and laid it over the bucket and closed my eyes in sleep. As I lay there waiting to die, I thought of how he had tried to poison me with de-con rat poison in oatmeal and I survived. I had blown up like a balloon but nonetheless I had survived.

I remembered how he had hit me right between the eyes with a steel flashlight and left me for dead - again I survived. I remembered the surgery i had on my back and came home with over 500 stitches and 486 staples in my back and how on the same day of coming home he kicked me in the tailbone shattering it with a steel toed shoe and making me scrub the kitchen floor with a toothbrush. I was in agony but said nothing. I though that at last all this pain and suffering would finally over and I could be free. This was not to be.Instead it turned into a descent into hell I would never forget as long as I live.

I didn't die that night. I awoke early that morning before the kids and before John came home from his nightly drunken spree. My head was pounding and I was having a hard time breathing, but alas, I was alive. Not knowing when the kids would wake or John would come home I quickly cleaned up the mess and bandaged my arm and pretended that everything was normal.

It wasn't until three days later when I had to go to the grocery store I would collapse from a heart attack and begin my descent into hell. I remember the ambulance ride and that was all. The next thing I saw or felt was this cold dark place. Its walls were wet and slimy and the feelings I got from this place was the sum total of all evil; past, present and future. I sensed others there, but couldn't see them. I could hear their mumblings but couldn't understand them. I was terrified beyond belief.

As I turned away from the slimy and cold wall, I found myself standing on the precipice of the Lake Of fire. When I looked at the floor I could see the fires of the final hell. I could see burning skeletal bodies with their heads bobbing like apples above the fire and hands extended asking ….no begging for help. I could smell the sulfur and brimstone and still do to this day. I could hear Lucifer laughing and I knew it was his laughter I was hearing and it made my skin crawl. I wanted out!

I cried out to the Lord to get me out of there and begged him to forgive me for my foolishness. I thought he had abandoned me and I didn't know what else to do. Then I saw above my head a little speck of light that seemed to grow with every word I said. At my feet in the light was this old man who looked like the old roman soldiers at the foot of Jesus' cross.

As I was thinking "how strange I should see this one particular soul",I heard the voice of Jesus respond to my pleas for forgiveness. His father's voice sounded like thunder and many waters all at once. I had heard His Father's voice before. His voice was firm, but gentle and loving. He told me he forgave me. I begged to be taken out of this horrible place and he said he would but I must promise never to try to commit suicide again. I promised. He reminded me that he had never left me and it was I who had left him by forgetting to seek him out in my hour of need.

I asked him why I could see this one centurion and not the others. He said that it was to remind me that this was the penalty for sin and that people here either refused to ask God for forgiveness or admit to their sin. I however did, and that was what he and his father wanted and all they asked of those there.

I asked him why his Light was so small and thin and he explained that darkness can't be dominated by light and light be dominated by darkness and I understood. He then gave me a choice to return to my family or stay with him. I told him that I couldn't leave my children in the hands of such an evil man and good or bad I had to return to them. He told me he knew that I would make that decision and I came to in the hospital. I remembered my journey and the last thing Jesus said as I was sent back, "Remember, I am with you always. My NDE’s to heaven would number four; but I will only tell you of two.

Heavenly Journey

My First heavenly Experience occurred when I was found to have cancer in both my breasts. I went to the doctors and was admitted for biopsy surgery. I went to surgery and must have had a heart attack. Because I could see the doctors operating on me. Although I couldn't see exactly what they were doing i could hear them say "My God ! Her heart has stopped!" They set to work to revive me and as I floated above the room watching all this I felt myself being pulled upward .it felt like I was shot out of a canon and it was aimed heavenward. I ended up in this tunnel of darkness but at the other end I could see a tiny ray of light. I could feel others but I couldn't see them. As I "floated" toward the light it got brighter. I soon found myself standing on a bridge of golden cobblestone. I looked to my left and saw the most beautiful garden with a waterfall and stream I had ever seen. Beside the stream on the bank i saw an elm tree with a lion against the tree lying down and a lamb that was lying down beside him. I thought of the bible verse that had said that the lamb and the lion shall lie down side by side. The flowers in the garden were of every kind and their color and beauty were beyond description. I heard my name being called and I turned my attention to the other side of the bridge and resumed my "walking". I crossed the bridge and there were two streets of gold cobblestone, yet you could see through them like glass. The roads were forked and as I stood there trying to decide which one to take, I reasoned that if God is to the left and Jesus was to the right…I would go left. Straight to the top! I chuckled to myself at my insane logic but proceeded anyway.

As I walked down the road I saw a man dressed in a long white robe with a purple sash about his waist. As I drew closer there was a white fog behind him but his radiance made the fog dull in comparison. I soon recognized that it was Jesus I was seeing. His eyes pierced my very could but his face was full of love and compassion. I fell to my knees in humility. He gently helped me to stand again and said to me, " my daughter I am pleased with you." I started to cry because I felt so unworthy of being in his presence. He said to me that I could stay or return to the world. I told him that I must go back because of my children. Again I told him I could not leave them to be raised by a man so full of evil. He told me he knew that I would say that and smiled.Then he handed me a rose, the color of red I had never seen on the face of this earth. He said keep this as a reminder that I am always with you as I promised. I never realized that I would be able to carry that rose back to earth with me, but I did. I was then sent back to my body and awakened to the blast of a heavenly trumpet. There in the left corner of my hospital room stood Gabriel, the archangel in all his radiance. I was so startled by the noise that I rubbed my eyes thinking I was hallucinating. Nope ! I definitely wasn't hallucinating ! He was sent by God to make sure I woke up. When I did, he vanished. This also would signal that my trip to heaven wouldn't be my first. I would take two more as the years past. In them I would learn more things and see more things and come to understand God even more than I ever did.

Heavenly NDE - Two

This one occurred during an emergency surgery for an exploded gallbladder. During surgery my heart evidently stopped again and I once again found myself soaring to the heavens. I soon found myself standing in a place that looked like a great hall. I could feel the presence of other beings but couldn't see them at first. As I drew closer to where they were I could see that they were the twelve apostles. I asked them what I was doing there and why was i with them. They spoke in words that came not from their mouths but from their hearts and minds. They told me that they were there to greet me and that I was to wait upon the lord. With that they turned away and left. I didn't get to tell them that I didn't want to stay here because I had too much to finish on earth and I had wanted to go back. They must have known and that is why they had left so quickly. I wandered around the Great hall for what seemed like hours then I heard a voice call my name. I turned to once again see the face of Jesus. The same one I had seen before on my last journey here. I asked him if I had to stay and he said no, but there were some things he wanted me to see before He sent me back. I followed him and the next thing I knew was that I was seeing my own judgment. The judgment wasn't they kind that you would see and hear in a courtroom here on earth. His judgment is where you see and feel everything from the other person's side. This means good or bad you feel it all. You see the results of what you have done albeit good or bad. My heart broke as I saw the harm I had caused in my life and I laughed at other things. It is the things that I had done wrong that affected me the most and I cried like I had never cried before. Then I felt Jesus' hand on my shoulder and I turned around and saw the same love and forgiveness I had seen once before. He told me that my sins were forgiven a long time ago and that he was pleased with what I was doing now, even thought I still had some changes to go through. I saw my judgment in a hologram form.

It is the only way I can describe it. I recall thinking that as I was watching my life that it reminded me of Dicken's Christmas Carol; where Marley had told Scrooge that the chains he carried were the chains he had forged in life and he was doomed for all eternity to carry them. Jesus knew what I was thinking and said that those chains were lifted when I accepted him into my heart and life. He reminded me that was why he died on calvary I cried once more and he held me in his arms and said that He loved me always. After a while we walked I saw mountains and rivers and lands that were beyond description. I could see some angels weaving cloth from a loom. I asked him if I could look at the cloth and he said yes. As I held the clothe in my hands I could see through it but when I turned it over I couldn't. I asked him why. He said it was the cloth of the souls of man and people hide their souls so other can't see who they really are and that he always could. He also said that the eyes were the actual windows to the soul and if people would only look into each other's eyes with their spiritual eyes, they could see too. It was time to return to my body and place on earth. He said as he sent me back,"I will be waiting for you and I will always be with you." With that I was back in my hospital room. again I remembered my journey as I fell off to sleep. I was awakened with a loud thunderous voice in my ear telling me that I must tell all that I have seen and heard in all my journeys to heaven and hell. I promised I would as I fell back to sleep.These are just two of the four trips to heaven I took, but, it tells you some of what heaven looks like.

Here are two other testimonies of a people who also had a near death experience. One you will read and one you will see. The books stores are filled with people telling their heaven or hell experience and how it affected their lives. I know, personally speaking, both my visits via NDE to hell and heaven have changed my life and my goals forever.

Testimony From: Dr. George Ritchie's

Near Death Experience: Heaven & Hell

In December, 1943, George Ritchie died of pneumonia. Nine minutes later, miraculously and unaccountably, he returned to life to tell of his amazing near-death experience in the afterlife. His near-death experience was the one that profoundly moved Raymond Moody to begin seriously investigating the near-death experience. Since Dr. Moody is considered to be the "father of the near-death experience," Dr. Ritchie's near-death experience is in a class of its own. You will find his experience to be one of the most profound near-death experiences ever documented.

The following is a brief summary of Dr. George Ritchie's near-death experience. You can read his NDE testimony in its entirety in his ground-breaking books Return From Tomorrow and his follow-up book Ordered to Return: My Life After Dying.

George leaves his body and sees it lying in his bed. He is not aware the dead body in his bed is his. Wanting eagerly to travel to Richmond, Virginia to start college, he finds himself flying in the air toward a city. He is not sure how he acquired these strange powers of flight and transparency. He arrives at a city and discovers he has lost his solidness. He flies back to the hospital and sees his lifeless body in the morgue and realizes he has died.

Suddenly,Jesus appears emitting a tremendous light and love. George's entire life appears before him. Jesus asks,"What have you done with your life?". He realizes Jesus is not judging him, but he is judging himself.

Jesus gives him a tour of four different dimensions in the afterlife. They both fly toward a large city on earth where they notice a group of assembly-line workers at work. He witnesses the spirit of a woman trying desperately to obtain a cigarette from the workers who are oblivious to her presence. This woman died severely addicted to cigarettes.

In a house, Jesus shows him the spirit of a boy following a living teenage girl and begging for forgiveness while the girl is completely unaware of the boy's presence.

Jesus tells George that the boy committed suicide and is "chained to every consequence of his act." Jesus shows George a bar filled with sailors who are heavily drinking.

Spirits try desperately and in vain to get a drink or to control the sailors' alcoholic behavior.

These spirits are from humans who die severely alcoholic. He is horrified as he observes a drunken sailor pass out and an alcoholic spirit jump into the body of the sailor.

Jesus takes him to a new dimension away from earth and shows him a kind of "receiving station" where spirits would arrive in a deep hypnotic sleep because of their beliefs. These are spirits who believe they must sleep after death until Jesus returns. Jesus shows him a dimension where angry spirits are locked in hand-to-hand combat, trying in vain to hurt each other. He hears verbal abuse going on. He observes some trying in vain to get sexual gratification from each other. He also sees spirits arguing over some religious or political point and trying to kill the ones who did not agree with them. Here, he realizes he is seeing hell. These are spirits who are locked into some earthly desire that went beyond the physical and which cannot be satisfied in the spirit.

He is then taken to a different dimension appearing like an enormous university. Here he observes people dressed as monks engaged in some form of artistic behavior or research. He is taken into an enormous library where all the important books of the universe are assembled. He asks Jesus if this is heaven. He replies that these are the people who grew beyond selfish desires while on earth. George realizes these people cannot see Jesus, just as the others could not see him in hell. Jesus takes him into outer space toward a distant city made of brilliant light of a similar description to the city in the Book of Revelation. He speculates this is the place where people go who have become Christ-like while on earth. Here, love was the dominant focus of life. He realizes he is seeing heaven, but he is not allowed to go in. Jesus then shows him the future of the earth. He then returns to his physical body.

"Death is nothing more than a doorway, something you walk through." - Dr. George Ritchie
