Man Says He Visited Heaven, Met Jesus During Near-Death Experience

Описание: Randy Kay's "afterlife" experience still leaves him visibly emotional as he recounts details of visiting heaven, meeting Jesus, and returning to share his harrowing journey. Kay, author of the book, "Heaven Stormed: A Heavenly Encounter Reveals Your Assignment in the End Time Outpouring and Tribulation," told CBN News he was once a denier of near-death experience claims — until he faced his own purported heaven journey.

He recalled his own afterlife experience, which began with a sore calf. At first, he thought he had strained a muscle, but while working out and going on a bike ride, his calf began to swell. "I was able to make it back home and then went to the doctor to get an anti-inflammatory prescription, and lo and behold, when I pressed my heel into the floor as the doctor had suggested, I collapsed," Kay said. "And I was rushed to the emergency room."

It turns out, the pain and swelling were due to seven blood clots that had formed. He then contracted Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant bacteria. "The doctor said I was a walking dead man," Kay said. "And then the septic shock which entered into my body caused a traffic jam in my vessels, my vascular system." The chaos landed Kay in a dire situation — one that he believes sent him to heaven.

"Everything went dark initially and the next moment of recall, I was looking down on my body," he said. "I was being pulled by this light. I know that sounds cliche, almost, but it's absolutely true." Kay continued, "I was in a kind of very vague, ethereal space initially where I saw these figures in front of me, and they were warring against each other. There's no other way of putting it." After his return from his after-death experience, Kay discerned he was watching spiritual warfare play out. Regardless of what people choose to believe, Kay's physical body was dead at this point, making these memories and claims quite fascinating.

"My heart had stopped," he said, noting that hospital records indicate he was clinically dead for 30 minutes and 49 seconds. During that time, Kay believes he was experiencing heaven, noting he was aware that her was himself but suddenly was seeing and visualizing the world quite differently. "I was seeing things, hearing things beyond which I would be able to do otherwise in my body," he said.
