    That is exactly right. Usually nobody comes back form the dead. Except those who have still things to do. Like telling others (witness) of the afterlife, for example. :)
    Later on, they will be "truly dead". ;)

    Exactly.......
    but Stanley Milgram Lucifer Satan is surrounded by Generals and Kings and Queens of the demonic realm......

    ... .who probably sincerely believe that Jesus thinks like they think.......

    ... because all of us make that error.......

    ... so the leading Demons and Devils and Satans and Jezebels in hell.... probably think that
    Jesus has plans for them that would resemble the various torture chambers that were used during the
    Witch Trials of Europe........ [and that taste of all that that occurred even in America is also relevant indeed......
    and now we can even look at the Witch Trials of sorts against a President who sticks up for ordinary Americans?????????].......

    ... so..... the forces of hell are doing everything that they can to at least DELAY....... but they prefer to totally take over the earth and smite the earth with a curse......

    ... but convincing fathers to NOT ALLOW THEIR HEARTS TO BE TURNED TO THEIR CHILDREN......
    ... [and Dr. Gary Smalley in his brilliant book "For Better or for Best" stated that they best way for fathers and grandfathers to be respected and loved by their children and grandchildren .....

    .... WAS FOR THEM TO BE REALLY GOOD TO THEIR MOTHER.... AND GRANDMOTHER!!!!!]


    .....
    .....

    Recently I met a man who openly discusses his encounter with aliens......
    .... and what he reports was ESSENTIALLY THE SAME as what @AboveAlpha told us to do if we had an alien encounter........ RUN!!!!!!!!!

    Our species will not last forever, so there will be a "last days" at some point, but Christianity in particular has failed in their prophecies of that, clearly expecting the end times to come within a generation of the death of Jesus.

    Although I am definitely NOT advocating copying what he did.....
    the drug use that actor Larry Hagman did did seem to give him a pretty good understanding of spirituality that would have at least something of a
    positive effect on his career.......

    Larry Hagman’s LSD Near-Death Experience
    BY KEVIN WILLIAMSPOSTED ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2019


    and.... former Atheist Rabbi Alon Anava went into a near death experience that has propelled him to become.... in my opinion......
    the most courageous and influential and brilliant Orthodox Jewish Rabbi on earth at this time.......

    Rabbi Alon Anava's near death experience accounts are absolutely fascinating and.....

    .. .they seem to set the stage for a whole new level of cooperation between America and Israel because......

    the NDE of Rabbi Alon Anava resembles Matthew chapter four on many levels......

    and his teachings since his 2001 brush with death resemble Matthew chapters five, six and seven... The Sermon on the Mount....
    which to my thinking.....

    fits with Ezekiel chapter thirty seven.......

    As opposed to a depopulated and destroyed earth.... I believe we truly are going into a very positive and even utopian new era in human history......

    but...... an Isaiah chapters forty two, 43, 44, 45 and 46 style CLEAN UP.. must happen first!!!!!



    I must beg to differ with you on this theory......

    INFINITE TIME was already invested in the creation of us humans......

    and now the Creator..... The Being of Light of near death experience fame.....

    seems to be intent on doing modern Ezekiel chapter thirty seven style resurrections.......
    of all of us.....

    that create new time lines........

    and in these new time lines people get "SAVED" and are finally able to go into heaven.....
    who were LOST in other time lines......
    and may have ended up in something like Bill Wiese or Howard Storm experienced.....
    a very NEGATIVE, dark and scary near death experience......

    but now in their resurrected state... they are paving a whole new path that many of us can learn from.... and emulate to at least some degree.

    It may be wise to keep in mind that the scary... zombie... vampire... werewolf... type of creatures that former Atheist Howard Storm met during his near death experience.....
    seem to really, really, really, really hate songs like.... "Jesus loves me this I know..... for the Bible tells me so!"

    *Quick caveat, I have seen some very interesting arguments from preterists who say that the "end times" prophecies weren't really intended to represent the end of days, but just the end of the Julian empire. I'm open to that. The Beast of Revelation was clearly meant to be Emperor Nero, so that makes some sense to me.

    The world will be re configured with an asteroid. If it happens where there are still humans they or we will see it coming just like in the movies. Survivors will wish they were dead.
    Then there is disease, both natural and manufactured. It's gotta happen. Gene splicing is being done in ramshackle buildings in California by Chinese nationals presumably to reduce the chance of a runaway disease in China. They are actually trying to make a living creating chemicals, reagents, and biologics that are in demand in the bio world, but the chance of a runaway is very, very real. "Clean Room" does not translate to Chinese apparently.
    Regardless, some tribe in some jungle will survive but if they have everything they need there, they will have no reason to venture out. Some modern populations will survive to rebuild.
    Nuclear war will only serve to "thin the herd", as most populations will survive to engineer around the challenges caused by a nuclear war, but they will never be the same. That is the basics of Mutually Assured Destruction.
    The middle east will certainly go nuclear within the next 20 years. (The Bible actually said something about the end of the world starting in the holy land, so even Jesus knew what a bunch of self destructive people Muslims were. Iran has a real heat on elimination Israel, and people of the Islamic faith seem to be honored to be collateral damage. So I see no popular uprising over dying except from the Jews. They are just uncooperative that way.
    And lastly... some day the sun will just fade out and we will be one more frozen marble circling another iron rock, too small and too wimpy to go supernova.

    I expect Iran to nuke us any day. I'm surprised they haven't already.

    Our hope lies in a sign over the employee entrance at NASA-Houston which reads: "The meek shall inherit the earth. The rest of us ARE GOING TO THE STARS!"

    People like me.....
    who believe that near death experience accounts are playing an important role in setting up humanity to FINALLY be able to understand the wrath of YHWH!!!

    Jeremiah 23:20 King James Version (KJV)The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly."

    My theory is that YHWH has permitted... Stanley Milgram Lucifer Satan to conduct pessimistic and dark psychological research on us humans......
    in order to set in motion Eventual Universal Salvation.......
    that will even include "Azazel".... whoever Azazel is????????????


    Why is the name "Azazel" in Leviticus 16 verse ten in the RSV?

    That would be a good way to begin to ask better questions than we have been asking in the past......

    the universe and multiverse are teeming with life......
    and some of those life forms are technologically advanced far beyond us humans.....

    I'd simply point out that this is your religion, not something addressable or conforming to modern medical science.

    Also, it is no surprise that those who have "afterlife" experiences come back reporting what they originally believed.

    Our universe and multiverse theories don't provide any evidence of life forms more "highly advanced."

    And then there are others who believed in a rather extreme version of Atheism previous to their brush with death.......

    Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Alon Anava is one example of an Atheist having a fascinating near death experience......
    and the radical shift in how they approach life after their NDE.... is evidence that they believe that they had a genuine experience with the supernatural......

    www.AlonAnava.com/





    https://www.alonanava.com/about/

    If Rabbi Alon Anava had not been sincere in his Atheism previous to his brush with death......
    he would not have lived as he did before his NDE.......
    and.....

    if he did not take his NDE seriously... he would not have changed his way of life so dramatically!!!!!!!!!!

    I met somebody from work a month or two ago who
    talks about his alien encounters over the past few decades......

    His wife used to tell him that he should not tell people about what he experienced but.....

    ... he feels a responsibility to warn people.

    What he reports.... fits PERFECTLY with what @AboveAlpha wrote on this topic years ago here on political forum.

    WillReadMore... if you wish to be rather extreme in your skepticism of all of this......
    you have a right to be as skeptical as you wish.......

    but.... if you want to test all of this a near death experience can be induced in a fighter jet training device.... a G-force training device........... if you want to apply to join the air force..... you could well have your own brush with the paranormal.........

    He was clearly steeped in Judaism throughout his life. Calling his acceptance of Judaism "dramatic" is ridiculous.

    Plus, Christians believe he made a FATAL decision. He didn't have an NDE and thus become a Christian, or believe in Jesus, etc.



    Given HIS NDE are you going to switch to Judaism?

    Or, are you going to recognize that NDEs are a really bad way of investigating reality?

    No... you did not listen to his near death experience account......
    he totally rejected Judaism.....
    and he totally accepted Atheism........

    Atheism is not a legitimate branch of Judaism.......

    Judaism... does have a place for a belief in some form of reincarnation though.....

    What Judaism Says About Reincarnation
    The notion that souls can be reborn after death figures prominently in Jewish mysticism.

    BY RABBI BENJAMIN RESNICK




    The guilt of ONE lifetime can be heavy indeed......
    but adding multiple lifetimes to the formula can appear almost overwhelming!!!!!!!!!!!

    His near death experience was scary......
    but I believe that he is something of a modern John the Baptist who is preparing nine point four million Israelis to be able to accept Moshiach ben David.......

    and before that....
    the final Elijah person........

    and even Moshiach ben Ephrayim who is supposed to build the Jewish people at least one Jewish temple.... but I am wondering if the real Moshiach ben Ephrayim person will build the Jews two temples...... perhaps one at the Gihon Spring.... and the other one well outside the city of Jerusalem......

    So, you actually don't credit what the NDE experiencers project.

    Instead, you simply bend what they say in order to support what YOU believe, regardless of what they say.

    Ezekiel chapter forty seven predicts a utopian world is coming soon.......
    near death experiencer Howard Storm was shown that God wants to give us a utopia world within two centuries......

    I believe that the near death experience account clarifies the timing of what is predicted in the Bible.

    You're dodging the question.

    There are lots of NDE folks.

    Yet YOU don't believe what they say unless they say what you want to here.

    OR are you choosing atheism?

    ~ Nancy Pelosi said the GOP tax bill was Armageddon over five { 5 } years ago .. !! Some are still waiting for the Resurrection ...
