Wise quote of the day: “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy (vegetarian) World-Renowned Russian Writer (BrainyQuote)

Previously, in Part 1 of 3 of Tim Ehmann’s near-death experience, Tim overdosed and found himself in a place of sheer horror— surrounded by demons, screams, and voices trying to pull him into hell.

The next thing that happened, besides the things I just said that was around— the stacks of bodies and all of that, a bright Light appeared, and it came from above. And inside of the Light you could see an outline of a man in that, and you just know. I mean, just like I knew it was hell, I knew that was Jesus. I mean, there’s no introduction needed in this realm in that. So I just like went right into Him. He saved me. He just pulled me right into Him. I can’t say if He pulled me, or, I mean, like, the next thing I knew, I was in Him, and I could see what He was seeing. I could hear what He was hearing. I could taste. All the senses were like times a thousand in this realm, good and bad, in hell, a thousand times bad, in Heaven, a thousand times good.

His face is so bright that, to actually like describe it, would kind of be impossible to get the exactness of the brightness, because also I’ve seen Him with like lightning bolts around Him of every color, blue, gold, and that, and just, I mean, I think that’s the closest I came to full glory of seeing Him. And, He just told me good things, like how much He loves me and, “I’ve been calling you since you were born,” and then all these crazy moments that, like, He saved me from bikers. I would start fights with bikers, and just nonsense stuff, which I should have been dead every night. And the car wrecks, there were 12 car wrecks, little two-seater sports cars, and they were just like wrapped into telephone poles and off of bridges. I mean, just crazy, and I never got hurt, and so He reminded me of all that, but He reminded me of it in love, like, “I’m the one that did all that for you,” because I was thinking, “Oh, man, I’m pretty cool. I can do all this,” which is so stupid, and so it was all Him, all His Love, all His Love, all my life. I mean, I had a protection around me, and He just explained a little bit about Who He is, that He is Love, and that was something I looked for in the world, with the women and the drugs and material stuff and everything else, but never found it until I found Him.

After He was done talking to me, He says, “Timmy, I saved you. Now you go save my children.” And that was the command, the only command that He gave me at this point. And it was a firm command. Everything else was like, really just a beautiful love story.

At that point, I could see my body in hell. We were still like above hell and looking at it. And then, all of a sudden, the scene changed to my dead body lying on that bed. And then I’m up above the bed, and He says, “Move your arm.” And I see my arm moving. Then, He says, “Move your other arm.” My other arm moves. And He says, “Move your leg,” and my leg moves, and so on. And He says, “Now, get up and go.” And at that point, I came into my body, and then, boom, I just jumped right off that bed. I was like, “Whoa, this is incredible stuff!” Because I knew what happened. There’s no way of turning back at that point, of saying, “Hey, I can’t believe any of this stuff,” because once you see Him and all that, I mean, there’s no excuse.

Lord Jesus Christ visited Tim intermittently for 20 days after Tim returned to his body, during which the Lord kept teaching him and showing him things. I think He like downloaded first the Bible in me because I never read it or anything, and then by the time I read it, which was still another year later or whatever, I just knew this stuff, like, “Wow, You already told me about all this stuff.” And then, He showed many places in Heaven, and it was just like total beauty. I mean, the total opposite of what I saw in hell.

Next, Tim shares what he saw in Heaven— its places and the beings he encountered. The waterfall was like about a quarter mile [400 meters] long, but you couldn’t hear the water. It’s just incredible stuff, just the beauty of everything there. Everything has life, like a piece of grass has life of itself. There’s no death up there, where hell’s all death. This is all life. There’s no decay. Join us tomorrow for Part 3 of 3 of Tim Ehmann’s near-death experience. (God Encounters with Janie DuVall)
