Near Death Experiences and Visions of Heaven Heaven & Hell Part 3 Near Death Experiences and Visions of Heaven

Why It is Important to Understand Heaven Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Part of our job as Christians is to make Earth more like Heaven. If you don’t know what Heaven is like …

Warning Before Proceeding As Isaiah, Ezekiel, Apostles Paul, and John have seen Heaven in some fashion, it is possible others have as well All such visions/experiences outside the Bible is a grey area and should be extremely secondary information If this does happen most likely the experience is somewhat unique based on the person Perhaps some go straight to one or the other, and some might have a bit of process before they do Like reading Revelation, the person who describes what they see doesn't really understand all that is going on Some who relate their experience may be very misled as Bryan Melvin relates in his video Most NDE's are rather short, but vivid, likely a very exterior view of Heaven Keep in mind Heaven and Hell must be massive places and the view anyone would receive would therefore be very limited Christ's warning to us is clear: "Take heed that no one deceives you . . . Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many" (Matt. 24:4, 11). If an NDE or a vision contradicts or is completely outside of scripture then consider Rev. 22:18-19 If Heaven is about loving God and loving others, Hell is about love of self and love of earthly things
