★☆★THE HOSTS★☆★
Curtis Childs is the director of OffTheLeftEye at the Swedenborg Foundation. While obtaining his degree in communication studies from Oakland University, Curtis experienced an internal battle with depression that led him to question God and his lifelong interest in Swedenborgian theology. After a period of intense suffering, he recovered from his depression with the help of modern medicine, therapy, and a return to the spiritually uplifting messages he found in Swedenborg’s writings. Now, Curtis is applying his education and desire to help others find peace through Swedenborg’s insights by producing and hosting this weekly webcast.
Rev. Dr. Jonathan S. Rose is the series editor of the New Century Edition, an ongoing project that incorporates the latest scholarship to produce a modern, accessible translation of Emanuel Swedenborg’s theological works. Holder of a B.A. and a M.Div. in religion and a M.A. and a Ph.D. in Latin, he has worked for years in the study of Neo-Latin and in Swedenborgian research. He was both chaplain and a tenured professor of religion and sacred languages at Bryn Athyn College before taking on his current position with the Swedenborg Foundation.
Karin Childs is a scriptwriter and online moderator for offTheLeftEye. Her spiritual growth is largely informed by a lifelong Swedenborgian education. While raising five children with her husband, Jon, she applied her love of the Bible and Swedenborg's writings to volunteer work, creating Sunday school programs and church pageants. It was Swedenborg's works that Karin turned to for solace after the devastating death of their oldest daughter. For 17 years, she and Jon ran a small Swedenborgian publishing company to help others dealing with loss and grief, and wrote three novels herself. Now, Karin puts her compassion into action through the work of the Swedenborg Foundation.
Chelsea Odhner is a production manager and scriptwriter for offTheLeftEye. A lifelong Swedenborgian, Chelsea's interest in Swedenborg's spiritual work intensified in her early twenties when she realized she wanted to make conscious changes in her life and behaviors. When paired with her study of yoga practice and philosophy, Chelsea found Swedenborg’s worldview connected all the spokes of different faiths and philosophical perspectives that she values. Initially interested in pursuing a career in integrative medicine, her passion for poetry, writing, and music led her to focus on serving the spiritual side of health and well-being.

My father died in 2001 before my 15th birthday. I had my first dream with him on my bday, his funeral was the very next day. He was comforting me, letting me know everything will be ok. I have communicated with my dad in my dreams since then. I haven’t had any dreams with him lately but I believe this is his soul reaching out and it brings me much peace❤️ now, my mother is battling cancer and i am so afraid to lose her. Im afraid to feel this loss again. This channel is so very helpful ☀️
Our hearts go out to you, Ivette. Your post illustrates the real paradox of both the pain of loss, and the comfort of continued connection after death. It warms our heart that you find the ideas on our channel to be truly helpful. May the experience of peace about your father carry you through the sorrow of your mother's departure -- you can look forward to the peace of continued connection with her too, eventually.
Perhaps you've already seen this, but just in case, here's our show called
"Will We See Our Loved Ones in the Afterlife?" -- youtu.be/

Prayers to you as you see your mother through her journey with cancer, and may you be fully conscious of the blessing of each day she is still here with you. Sending love and peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mom.
Blessings
Yes, ours as well. @@sandyg8463
Thank you all! I wish you a beautiful New Year ⭐️ i appreciate the blessings and prayers❤️
When my husband died 20 years ago he came to me and told me how happy he is heaven...still miss him a bunch😭
What a marvelous gift! One to hang on to tightly. But it must be hard to be apart for twenty years. Bless you as you try to have a meaningful life while still waiting to be with him.

Hi Pam how are you doing?
When my husband died in a dream I dreamt am following him through a door but he stopped me and told me I cannot go through the door yet I should go back...
@@danielhokanson2206 ణణఞఖ
I lost my dad to a sudden cardiac arrest a year and a half ago...still struggling to live life without him...loved him so much and miss him every moment of every day...this video gives great solace knowing i will meet him again in the afterlife...waiting eagerly to see him again😪♥️🙏🙏
Chandra that is incredibly hard... I am sorry there was no notice. No chance for closure I guess. I bet he was a wonderful father. Yes knowing you will meet him again makes all the difference.
Thank you so much🙏...he keeps visiting me in my dreams
I asked my father before he died well I know you do you think we will know each other again and he said, did you know before that was a very very profound answer think about it it’s only one time family

My late husband passed away in June of 2015. He had both legs amputated...the last leg was on our wedding anniversary June 17th. He passed away June 27th..ten days later...but before he died....all his children were there...brothers and sisters...him and I had our last conversation on June17th....as they took the tube out of his throat...his eyes opened and he became alert and he started looking around the hospital room. I was on the right side of his bed... holding his hand. He look towards the left ...then everyone said....he's looking for you Janice. Once he saw me? He smiled...tears came to his eyes and he immediately went to sleep with a smile. I believe there is a God that sits high and looks down low. I wanna see Jesus someday.
Janice, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment with your husband, it's so sweet and loving. I have absolutely no doubt that you are right - there is a God, your husband lives on in the spiritual world, and you WILL meet Jesus someday! God bless you!
Thank u
@@offTheLeftEye That’s one of the many promises He left us with. He is preparing a place for us. And I eagerly await the sight of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ 🙏🏼.
@@johnhoey4605 Yes, it is a promise!
@@offTheLeftEye what does this mean
I am not afraid to die I can't wait to see my mom and sister and loved ones again...i am getting older in year's and all my family is gone to heaven now it's just my cat and I after my cat passes away she is my last animal, I will be happy to go,,,I have a lot of physical problems and still work, as a nurse I have to live..but my health is not good,,,it's just kitty and I
Working as a nurse means you have a caring heart, B G! Glad you're not afraid to make the transition across the veil, and may you enjoy your remaining days here with your beloved cat. Wishing you peace and smooth sailing!
Hi B G. I see you like big band leader Glenn Miller. I care for my grandmother, Louise Tobin Hucko. She sang with Benny Goodman a many other greats back in those days. Check her out on UA-cam or you can Google her name: Louise Tobin Hucko. She is a healthy 102 years old as of 11/11/20. I have been asking myself, why is she still here? All 10 of her siblings are gone. All but a few friends still come to visit. She still gets many calls from all over the world. Her last gig was in her early 80s. She and her husband, Jazz clarinetist, Michael Hucko, performed for Princess Diana & Prince Charles just before that. You might enjoy her songs too🎤
I am always praying that when her time comes, the good lord takes her when she is sleeping. She is strong minded, but her little body is weakening more each day. I don't understand Gods purpose for us at such an age where you need to have help to survive. I tell her she is here to see the next Presidential election...lol.
@@auntiekk2753 @Auntie KK thank you for sharing this about your beloved grandmother! She sounds like an incredible person, who lives an incredible life! Melissa here - my grandmother is in the same boat, having outlived her husband and 7 of her 9 siblings, not to mention many friends who passed on before her. I think she would LOVE to move on, and yet she's really quite healthy and active!
Sometimes I think maybe they're still here for US, to teach us something? Or provide us opportunities to show more love! Swedenborg had some ideas about why we die when we do, which we talk about in this short clip: ua-cam.com/video/PeWLcooxRGg/v-deo.html and in the episode "Does My Life Matter?" (I have it cued to this part of the episode, but the whole thing is worth a watch!). ua-cam.com/video/33FfPQsf_zU/v-deo.html
Here is what Swedenborg wrote about why we die when we do:
"There are four reasons why people die as children, adolescents, adults, or old men and women:
1. on account of their use to people when in the world;
2. on account of their use to spirits and angels when in the world, because a person is with spirits as to his or her inward elements and is there with them as long as he or she is in the world;
3. on account of the use to themselves in the world, either so that they may be regenerated, or so that they may be let into their own evils lest they lie as it were asleep and later erupt, which would result in the person’s eternal ruin;
4. thus on account of the subsequent usefulness in the other life, after death and to eternity . . ."(Spiritual Experiences §5003)
I hope that's useful to you! And I hope you and your grandmother are doing well!
Hi my friend how are you doing? I understand exactly what you said. It’s just me and my dog. It can be a really really lonely world out there and all I can say is take good care of yourself and try and be happy as we all know that life’s way too short.
God Bless you and stay healthy and safe in this crazyyyy world we live in.
🙏🙏🙏
You are loved!
My Mom died May 2, 2019 sudden death, heart attack. I am trying to cope. I pray all the time.
My heart goes out to you, Queen. It's so shocking to have such a sudden departure of a loved one. Did you find any hopeful ideas in this video? May God soothe your aching heart.
@@offTheLeftEye You are most lovely. Thank you.
Someone that I loved more than myself committed suicide in 2017. I still can't cope. He was agnostic the last I heard. Life is so painful now I just want to die. I keep in mind that God didn't call everyone in the spirit in this life. So I'm hoping that at some point that EVERYONE will get that chance at some point. Surely God wouldn't create people and not give them a chance to make it to heaven.
I lost my dad whom I loved the most on oct 4th, 2019. I cry every night. Unable to move on. It’s still so fresh. This video made me hopeful
@@jessegrider5301 Jesse, I'm so sorry for this terribly painful loss. My heart aches for you. God never stops reaching out to people, calling them in spirit, and that will continue in the afterlife. God clearly sees all that a person has been dealing with throughout their lives, and can reach past that pain into the deeper places in a person's spirit, to gradually bring healing and clarity. So, please to not worry about your loved one. God loves him more than you can imagine. Please see this short video, "Do Suicides Go to Hell?" ua-cam.com/video/NQXg57qjm7g/v-deo.html And also our panel discussion in response to a question about a loved one who died of suicide, starting at about 22 minutes 18 seconds: ua-cam.com/video/7b--acA4jQY/v-deo.html We are all sending much love to you, and wishing you healing and peace!
My 8 year old son died on 1 August 2022. This gives me so much comfort that I will see him again. Thank you
I am so terribly sorry that you lost your precious son Alison. That is heartbreaking. Eight is too young to say goodbye. And yes you will see him again. Here is a playlist of videos about heaven that might bring you comfort. ua-cam.com/play/PLgtFTXGqZdSngp4_pz7VaYnlWzl2-tEcS.html
May you find peace today Alison.
I miss my whole family that passed away . I pray for them think about them all the time. Lord bless them.
My heart goes out to you, Allen. It's so painful to be separated from beloved family members. I believe that they can feel your thoughts, love and prayers across the veil! 💗
@Luis Meza Thank you God Bless you.
I too Allen. My mother passed when I was 12 then my father followed 10 years one month and one day later. I lost my two older brothers both in the month of March four years apart. 2011 and 2015. We have many that love us unconditionally. I have tried to learn all I can about life after the death of our earthly bodies. It is the quest that I believe I signed up for with my family going home early before me. Much love to you.
God bless you all .
Thank you for the replies. All we do is keep the faith 🙏.
In 1991 I had a near death experience, it was so wonderful, I’m no longer afraid to die , I had to come back for my daughter , she was only 15 , and pregnant, I had to be here for her , I’m so looking forward to leaving this World 🌎, I want to go home my Heavenly Home !
Wow, Debbie, I'm so glad for you that you had such a wonderful experience, and so much hope for your spiritual life! It's so encouraging to hear that. I bet your daughter is very glad you came back, though! It must be difficult to know what awaits and still be here - but we are so glad you're here to share your experience! Sending love!
Me also...lucky us. the joy of life here and the joy of knowing we'll go to HEAVEN, it's win-win...
@@offTheLeftEye hey I want to tell you about an experience that I interview with an near-death experience Survivor was very unique and very different. I met the Spanish woman in a Tacoma Fred Meyers and Tacoma Washington. I somehow brought up about near death experiences with her I don't know why but I did. She looked back and forth she didn't want people to listen to what she was saying to me. Very conservative woman and she says in a exasperated voice, I have not told this to my relatives or my friends or anybody but when I was in the operating room, I saw this nurse in the operating room. I asked her to come over. She said to her, I am so worried about my husband and my children do you know anything about them or where are they at? Obviously a regular everyday nurse would not know that information. In this case she said, the nurse said your husband and your children are fine. Your husband is cooking dinner in the kitchen and your kids are playing in the living room. So the Spanish woman looked me in the face with exasperation and she said, how did she know that! And I asked her did her lips move when she was communicating this information to you. And she said no! They were not moving. I told her that our events on this Earthly plane are constantly monitored and recorded in the afterlife. Jesus said this thing that blew me away and she said she was wearing a dress. And she was also wearing a white hat on top of her head with a large Red Cross! And I thought to myself holy crap! Here we are 2021 and recently had surgery and she's talking about a nurse wearing a nurse's uniform from the early 1900s. What do you make of this?
Same here. Mine was 2014.
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you for even reading this, I am looking forward to the day God calls me home , everything will be perfect 😍
First of all my heart goes out To all of you that have lost your Loved ones 🙏🏼❤️ I know each Time A Loss A whole lot of feelings we partake , May The Good Lord of Heaven keep all of you in His Love Amen 🙏🏼
Thank you for expressing your warmth and empathy, Thadius!
Thanks. It hurts so much
I died during my labor and pain, 16 1/2 hours of pain and labor until I couldn’t take it no more. My experiences of dying on and after was so different from others. We all experienced deaths but only in a different way and direction. I still remember everything and it was such a beautiful, blessing and miracle journey, because there is power in the name of Jesus … 🙏😇♥️💗❤️💕
I'm sorry to hear about that extremely difficult labor, MyLife.... What a gift that you were given a miraculous and beautiful blessing to counterbalance the struggle! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Giving birth is the closet to death we can come to, without actually dying. Child birth truly is profound!
I did too, and my daughter wasnt breathing either. I only remember floating up and looking at a girl and a baby and wondering what was wrong with them. Very peaceful. That was all, then I was back in the body and I heard my daughter cry. We both made it🤗
To Jesus be all Glory!
Sure thing
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)

You're very welcome, Anthony! Your mom is most certainly okay, starting a wonderful new phase of life. And I'm sure she stays near you in love and in spirit! Wishing you healing and peace.
When my mom past away I had a dream and asked her if she was happy and she said yes I said are you sure you are happy she said yes again
When you die , you go to the grave awaiting the return of GOD . Don' t let know one fool you . If you go to heaven , how come they put yiu in a cadket and bury you , or those who cremate . The bible says when Jesus comes again the dead in Christ will rise So please stop this hypocritical teaching. That is nothing but the 👹
@@verliesalley9580 That's just your physical body.
And why are you telling me this ! You think someone goes to heaven when they die . If it was so Jesus don' t have to come again . The bible said the dead in Christ will rise first and be caught up in the air to meet him . So if dead people in heaven why is he coming . Go read your bible 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 . Bible facts . Jesus himself went in the grave and rose from the grave .Why would we sinful people go strait to heaven when we die .
I lost my mother on 25th May. Life without her is very difficult and painful. I hope she is in better place now. She was everything for me and her sudden death has changed my perspective towards life. I need strength🙏🙏🌸🌸❤❤
Oh, Aryan. I am so sorry for your loss. I can hear the pain in your tone. You're in good company, my friend -- I need strength, too!

Maboki, I can feel your sincerity, my friend! According to Swedenborg, when we open to God He is with us immediately. Your desire for His influence is enough to bring you exactly what you need to move forward! God bless you, my friend. Keep on keeping on!
I nearly died once while drowning, and it's true that you see some kind of life flashing by images in your mind ,I really couldn't say what I actually saw that day ,but I'm forever grateful that a guy called Andrew fairley jumped in and saved my life
Sounds like an intense moment, Anthony. Glad Andrew was there, and also fascinating that you had some kind of experience sort of "between worlds"!

I almost drowned too, and all I felt was peace when I looked up and seen light, was not scary
🎉Andrew Fairley?
I did too but never seen a flash I seen everything around me
I lost my mom on dec 6, 2019.... it's a struggle.... sometimes I may see things in the environment that's a trigger and I sob for hours. Then I pray and I send her my love thru my thoughts and whispers. I thank god for having me send her as my mom ..... I will probably always miss her so much
D., I am terribly sorry for your loss! I can tell that you cherish your relationship with your mom, even now that she is not with you in her physical form. I think it's beautiful that you make an effort to connect with her. I believe she hears you and feels your love. Swedenborg says that it is our love that defines us. Our love is who we are. Our love is what we'll take with us into the next life to share with others. You might find this video useful as you continue to process your loss. It's called, "What Dying Feels Like" ua-cam.com/video/W6T9CF0a5M0/v-deo.html May you find comfort, connection, and healing, my dear friend. I'm grateful for your presence here and for your heartfelt comment!
I kept asking for one more hug from my mom. eventually, she came to me and gave me a hug. If it were a dream, it was real to me. It dried my tears. You will see your mom again. In the meantime try to be happy, so she can be at peace.
Hi D. Flo, I just lost my mom on Sept. 28, 2020. So I understand how u feel. I was very close to my mom she was my best friend. I hope things have gotten better for u.

JC, thank you for sharing your relief! I feel your calm coming through. Yes, Swedenborg does paint a hopeful picture of life after death. He learned that God wants each of us to discover the spiritual community where we can be the most happy people possible, forever!

This is my best friend's story.
Precious Memories- By Sonya Lakey
We had no idea that the evening of September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our oldest son played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for him (which he usually did for himself) for the church hike he was going on the following day.
My mom, who was visiting from out of state, and I got up early with him on Saturday morning to hug him and see him off. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own.
As he pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mom and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw our 16 year old son. He did not make it home that night.
That afternoon, a friend had tried to contact us, leaving a message on the phone to call back due to an emergency, but we really had no clue what was going on. And though we tried several times to return the call, we were not able to make a connection. As I helped prepare supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan and dread filled my heart, and I quietly blinked back tears. I looked out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pulling in, but no.
However, within minutes, a police car DID pull in our driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst, but I went outside to speak with him. He confirmed who I and my husband (who followed me out) were, then hesitantly told us our son had fallen off a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed.... Still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, we have such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son again. You see, even as a young boy, Ethan realized some very important truths from God's Word.
He had sinned against a righteous, holy and just God. The Bible says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that his sin separated him from God, and he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
He understood he could not pay the price for his sins.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan realized that, 'though he could not pay the price for his sins, the price had already been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life. He had no fault of His own. But Jesus was crucified for our sins, and He took on Himself the sins of every person in the whole world. He was beaten, spit on, whipped, mocked, scourged, and nailed to the Cross of Calvary. He shed every drop of His righteous blood - because that was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous God - so we could be made righteous in Him. He suffered all of that so Ethan - and you and I - would not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, but so we could spend eternity in Heaven with HIM! THAT is a great LOVE.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not stay on the cross, nor did He stay in the tomb where His body was buried. Three days later, Jesus arose triumphant over sin and death and the grave. Ethan believed this with his whole heart, asked Jesus to forgive his sins, and he put his faith in Jesus Christ ALONE to save him from sin and eternal death and to take him to Heaven someday.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus and others. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. We know he is alive in Heaven with Jesus today, and we know we will see him again soon, not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day? Would your family, though grieving, be able to rejoice in the knowledge that they would see you again in Heaven, or would you be burning in Hell today?
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
Have YOU trusted Jesus as YOUR Saviour? Have you repented of your sins? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you so you can go to Heaven & not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire? Tomorrow may be too late. As Ethan pulled out of sight that morning, we had no idea we would never see him again in this life. None of us have the promise of tomorrow!

JC, Growing up, I never feared death. I grew up in a funeral home since the age of 8. I love visiting cemeteries, especially those with history as I get a sense of calmness. 8 months ago, I was told I had 5 to 7.5 months to live. Hearing this scared me. I began to fear death. A few weeks ago, I heard a deep voice that said "Fear not I, something something" and have been filled with calmness ever since. I no longer fear it. I keep hearing and seeing the signs. Do not fear death my friend!
Death does not scare me anymore! I am always excited to see my very beloved father, best friend, my grandparents soon❤️🙏🤗
I'm so glad you believe that physical death will just be a step toward the next, beautiful phase of life, which will contain many joyful reunions!
You have to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior first, only if your love ones knew Christ before they died you will be in the same place with them...don't put your hope in false promises...
Uma Haq I’m not scared to die after watching these videos I will be able to see all my family members I have not witnesses a death but it will come soon I can’t wait to see my mom dad aunts uncle grandparents I will be so happy to see them again and to meet the lord
I glad
THATS HOW I FEEL NOW. I JUST BE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE I KNOW. I MEAN A LOT.
True when my Mother die she came in my dreams telling me how beautiful it is.I saw her she looked beautiful and she was around beautiful flowers.she was very happy
Wow, Lakay -- What a gift to have that enduring image of your mother! From everything we believe here on this channel, we can affirm that that is an accurate picture! We have many videos on our channel about the life after death, if you'd like to explore. Thanks for sharing your dream, and blessings to you!
My mother the same thing .She was running through this beautiful field of yellow flowers telling me not to cry any more . That she is happy and not to worry about her and for me to stop crying.
@@patricadyson778 What an incredibly beautiful scene, Patricia. Thank you so much for describing it here!
My mother passed many years ago but I remember a dream where she was sitting under a tree in a grassy meadow, it was sunny and she was surrounded with flowers. She died of cancer. She said to me “ it’s alright Joan, I am better now” the dream then ended but I have so much comfort from those few words.
@@shropgel what a beautiful vision. I'm so glad you got that message from her. Thank you for sharing this with us! God bless, Joan!
I'm in tears. I love that even in the afterlife, God still gives us a chance to make changes. Definitely different from what the Bible says. Just another little nugget to make my faith stronger. Blessings and Namaste to my dear people at Off The Left Eye, thank you for this video. I no longer have fear of death. And I'm 32 yrs old, got a lot of life left. This is why my faith in Christianity has been discouraging, difficult, and has added MORE fear and anxiety to me personally. We humans are God's creation, there should be no condemnation. I just hope that God is looking at all of us with a smile.
Here is a quote from True Christianity 56.
"God cannot turn away from us or even look at us with a frown. To do any such thing would be against his essence, and what is against his essence is against himself."
You are right that God continues to give us freedom, and longs for our happiness above all. Perhaps you know that the most frequent command in the bible is "do not fear." God wants you to feel safe in his love! Take care, Cam.
@@offTheLeftEye So, God doesn't frown upon homosexuals? I ask because so often I see so many heated arguments between pastors on a college campus and people who maybe don't believe in or question God. The pastors hold up the big signs that say Homosexuals REPENT and it's just madness. LBGTQ+ people are born the way they are. They shouldn't be condemned or judged
God absolutely loves everyone, and wants them to be happy. He also asks us not to judge one another, and that keeps me honest.
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." Matthew 7
Working on my own mistakes keeps me busy. God will take perfect care of other people, and I can treat them with respect in the meantime. Take care Cam.
Thank-you. I was studying Swedenborg's teachings when I was much younger, over 40 years ago, but got away from it, although it left a lasting impression on me. That's when I became a born-again Christian. I have belonged to a few other churches since then, but none ever felt as right. Unfortunately, there have been no Swedenborg churches near me except one, and the minister there said he didn't teach Swedenborg's teachings even though it was a Swedenborg beliefs church. I'm so glad I found your UA-cam videos.
Interesting journey, kasey. So glad you've found some community around these ideas here on OTLE. I'd love to know a few ideas that stuck with you through the years -- the ones that DID continue to feel right, if you'd like to share.

Send you Love and warm hugs my love. Do know you are LOVED and you are never alone. Focus on the LOVE within YOU, and you will become ONE with the Grand Infinite Divine Source of Love and Life🔥
I had a NDE. It was amazingly beautiful. You do remain your individual soul BUT I realized that when you die, you do not bring one memory of your life. It’s like leaving the classroom. Your life is done and you are moving on....surrounded by total peace and love. And a deep new understanding.
Bella Bijou Exactly ..i left my body in 1982...hovered above it ,and felt myself being " pulled" up a tunnel which had a BEAUTIFUL white light light in it ..there is much more to my very real experience...but I can say I did NOT want to come back here to Earth..and I told them so.I believe it is THE most important thing that those of us who have experienced this should tell others. However, I have found, that it is almost impossible to get others to understand this properly. In my case it was not due to an accident/operation , as it is with so many people . Never, never , allow others to get you to Believe that it's all our imagination. It is not! We are not these bodies! We're just wearing a meat suit' !
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful insight from your experience, Bella! Yes, there is so much earthly memory that would be useless and even detrimental, holding us back, once we cross over. Swedenborg learned that what we keep is only those deeper things from earthly experience -- deeper bonds of love and deeper realizations and insights. We dig into that in our episode "What Will You Remember in the Afterlife?" ua-cam.com/video/ChnFC9N0jfc/v-deo.html
Amen!!!!!!so gratefull loving and joy !!!!amazing
you forgot everyone here? Maybe it was the overwhelm..
@@BryceDAnderson1952 I can understand that :) I was listening to Mary Rodwell with Folores cannon (video uploaded last night!) say ppl get a shock when they come to meetings and recognise people there. I guess when Aliens come to Perth, they round up the usual suspects haha.

Hi Mary how are you doing?
This is so real. I came out my body some years ago and soared up towards the heavens. I flew through the galaxy and at the corner was a beautiful white light. I entered a tunnel of clouds and 2 giant beautiful angels pushed passed me and spoke to my heart and said, come on let's go. I was the happiest I ever been. I can't explain how happy I was. I questioned God and asked him if I died and if so who was gonna take care of my mom and kids. Immediately I was back in my body. It was a struggle to breathe and move but I did. It was the most amazing experience ever...
Wow, how amazing and beautiful! Thank you so much for describing the experience! Has this changed your outlook on life in general?
Swedenborgs teachings got me through the loss of my mom, and made me realize she's still with me. Thank you Curtis
I'm so glad these concepts could support you during your time of grief, Shellie. Your dear mom's love and presence are most certainly with you, always! 💖
The dead know nothing. It's in the Bible we sleep. The dead know nothing. There is no other way it's God's way or no way
@@ronniedrake8196 the Bible definitely says that! On this channel, we share the theological works of Swedish scientist Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a Bible scholar and devout Christian. Swedenborg began having visions of Jesus Christ and devoted the last almost thirty years of his life to recording what he learned in many volumes - one of the most incredible of his ideas is that the Bible is written in parable, something the Bible actually tells us many times!
Here are a few examples:
‘Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. Who among you will give a stone if his son asks him for bread? If then you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask him?” (Matthew 7:7-11)
“All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.” -Matthew 13:34 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.” -John 16:25 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12). “If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12).
If you would like to learn more about how Swedenborg read and understood the Bible (what it meant to him) check out our episode, "What the Bible Is," ua-cam.com/video/v0mE8IDLynE/v-deo.html , or this short clip, "It Is Damaging To Take The Bible Literally," ua-cam.com/video/eXUXZ8BigDk/v-deo.html
If you'd be at all interested in hearing how the ideas in this show are grounded in the Bible, I recommend the recorded episodes of this Bible study: www.spiritandlifebiblestudy.com/
If you'd like to hear what we believe "the dead know nothing" means spiritually, check out either of these episodes:

Long: "Why Does the Bible Say 'The Dead Know Nothing'?" ua-cam.com/video/2GNzmofUnxM/v-deo.html
We share this information for anyone who is interested, but we also respect that everyone is on their own spiritual path, and in their own relationship with the Word and with God. We respect your right to decide for yourself whether to accept what Swedenborg learned, or not. Thank you for sharing your perspective on all this, and we are wishing you well. God bless!
Oh wow, a Christian Scientist.. sorry but I’m surprised. Since so many if not, all of them don’t believe any kind of supernatural entity/entities.. idk how many times I’ve heard that
@@meghaneternal-darkness5036 Yes, Swedenborg is unique in that way! In his writings you will find a uniting of religion/spirituality and science. Both come from God, and therefore are supposed to work in harmony! Here's a very short video about a Bible prophecy that Swedenborg learned is talking about a future union between science and spirituality: ua-cam.com/video/6Mq4NTiPDKA/v-deo.html
death after life and coming back I went through a tunnel it was so fast the speed like a feather so light so beautiful I reach to the end was a white image very bright light and he said go back theres people who need you.

Oh my gosh! I experienced the same thing, and more, after my son was born and there were complications afterwards.
Hi ivone how are you doing?
I have the same history like you the doctors confirmed my death 1995 but I can't explain everything because we don't have in this world what I have seen the colour,people, environment at the end I remember go back and after my people and Russia doctors were very wonderful about near my bed after 7 hours coma.
I v o n e have you thought about recording your own testimony?
I lost my mother relatively recently, an angelic and very tormented person who experienced all kinds of bad situations and although I have devoted myself completely to her in recent years trying to make her happy in every way, I feel guilty that I did not offer her enough! Every night I visit her grave and cry
I have no doubt she would want you to let go of any guilt, John! I'm sure that all you were able to offer was enough. No person can provide everything for another person, no matter how much they love them. Right now, your mother is getting help to break free from all that torment, and be healed and guided toward more and more happiness. Your love and efforts will have played a HUGE role in helping her during her final stage on Earth. Small actions of love mean more than you know, and when you cross over your mom, and God, can show you how much good you did -- what an impact your efforts made. For now, please believe that there is nothing to feel bad about. Allow yourself to work through your grief back into walking your own life path and finding happiness. I'm sure that what your mom wants most for you!

@@offTheLeftEye Do you know that you have to Study Paul's word of Grace; to be Approved unto God; and be able to " divide the word of truth " 2TIM2:15 KJV. This is how you are saved. This verse is of the pastoral books. It appears to me that not a lot of Christians know this.
@@markkeetley2225 Are you saying that you believe God condemns people who do not know that particular information? That would be very unreasonable and unfair of God, don't you think? God is Love, Forgiveness, Patience, Mercy, and everything else good. How could pure love penalize someone for ignorance? How could pure love throw away any of his children just because they didn't know one particular set of information? That doesn't sound like a truly Divine Creator to me.

It sounds like you're in a painful spot, Mandy. Not easy to hang in there, is it. This is Kendall; I'm part of our community team at OTLE. You are not alone in your eagerness to find more peace. Spiritual struggle reminds me of a violent storm. I live in Pennsylvania, and in recent years we've had our fair share of tornado warnings, which terrify me. There is simply nothing I can do to tell the tornado to go away. What I can do is heed the guidance of those I trust and go into my basement for a little while, till the worst of the winds dies down. That's what I have to do in spiritual life, too. Find a retreat, even if only for a few minutes. With prayer, with a phone call, with rest. With breath. Over time the clouds do recede and the sunlight peeks at me, brightly even, once again. May you find a moment's peace today, however it appears, and may it offer you release from struggle and pain. My heart is with yours, friend. Keep on keeping on!

I too have had an out of body experience on 2 occasions! It was a truly awesome feeling. The afterlife is real so very very real..❤💯💢💥 love ALL.X
What you mean “ present with the Lord”? We all go to Heaven? I don’t know what that verse means
@@selfimprovementlifestyle4949 Some will live in Heaven with the Lord and Jesus Christ will say to others..... I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21-23.)
It’s no accident or coincidence that I found this. I truly believe it. Can’t wait to see God. This world is too corrupt.
I'm so glad you feel you were led to these ideas on purpose, Beverley. Hope you'll enjoy poking around our channel to see what other hopeful videos you might find. This world can be so tough, but looking for the good, looking for the blessings, looking for the helpers can help us make it through!
Me too I look forward to my eternal journey and being with Jesus and loved ones ❤️
See the thing is I understand what you are saying and I feel the same way but you got to remember we got work to do we as believers have a ministry of reconciliation it is profitable to stay here and reach the people that want to receive the word Amen
We don't go anywhere, we don't see God. We stay "asleep" in the grave waiting for the resurrection. Read Ecclesiastes. God tells us the true condition of the dead. Don't believe in pagan beliefs! That's what Satan wants. He doesn't want us to know the truth.
What a load of crap!!!
Thank you for this! Lost my son Dec.4th so this makes me feel so much better. I have a relationship with God but this definetly makes it more clear and gives me the knowledge to know my beautiful 22yr old son is OK....🙏🥺
Aww, Angela, I'm so sorry for your painful loss. I'm glad it is comforting to be able to picture your son being fine, and loved, and taken care of! 💖
god love you ❤️
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you so much!🙏🏼😘

I hope you have a circle of people who understand what you are feeling. It can ease the pain of loss. @@angelacrandall8102
Life on earth 🌎 is just the deciding place as to where we will be spending our eternity. That is where the real life begins, thank you LORD!
Amen, Melanie!
Right before dad died he lifted both his arms and stretched them up as if to hug someone.My mom died 1 1/2 yrs previously so I believe she came to meet him.
What a beautiful image, Karen! My mother recently died, and the hospice nurses said that that kind of gesture is very common in people's final days or hours. Such a comfort! Thanks for sharing that.
Awwww
My husband done the same both arms up to welcome someone. it gives me hope i will see him again and my parents.
, @@amysands8925 , Both arms up means asking for help.
Dear friend!
Are you not ashamed to express such a Himalayan blunder! To know about liberty after death, read Lk.16:26 to irradicate Satan's lie!
I needed to watch this. Thank you so much. I lost my mom 7 months ago due to a heart attack. Covid made her funeral inhumane. We were not allowed in the church. The service was held at her graveside. We were not allowed to close the grave. The escavator driver were no where to he found.. we had to leave her graveside open like a gaping hole were death would swallow you alive. I cant get over her passing. I speak to our Lord on a daily basis. Its hard to reach out for help. I cant tell my family Im struggling as Im a new born child of God. This gave me so much closure. As a 40 year old woman, mom of 4... i miss my mommy so so much!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could say goodbye and stop seeing her open grave when I close my eyes. She was worth so much more.
Oh Janine, I'm so so sorry for that deeply unsatisfying and even disturbing funeral. That's so unfair. Melissa here - my grandfather died of COVID last March, and only one family member got to say goodbye to him - in a hazmat suit. It was a small service with only his kids (not even the cousins!), especially since it was in the very beginning of quarantine. It was not what we hoped for at all.
It would be even harder if it was a parent and not a grandparent! It is never easy to say goodbye, and not having the right closure just adds to the grief. I have found tremendous comfort thinking of my grandfather, moving into the spiritual world without family at his bedside, from this episode about how angels care for us and help us transition. It makes me feel that he was not alone at all - and probably wouldn't hold those difficult circumstances against us! “How Angels Take Care of Us When We Die” ua-cam.com/video/1rnk72vH7Ws/v-deo.html

I also imagine that the upsetting image of the open grave is a distraction from all the wonderful, joyful memories of your mom. I pray that this image stops haunting you, and you find it soon replaced with an image of her at peace, filled with love! Sending love to you and peace, as you navigate this difficult time in your life!
I lost my father in August of '20. We were not allowed in his retirement facility the last 6 mo of his life. (Yet tons of workers were allowed in.) I am still so bitter about how he had to die - and because he had dementia he never quite understood why we never came in to see him.
Hi Janine how are you doing?

I know how you feel about missing your mom! I’m 68, and I want my mom to comfort me every day! I can’t wait sit to see her❣️🙏💫
Due to a cancer diagnosis in my family, it recently led me to Swedenborg. My eyes have been opened. I find myself closer to God and praying to god in a much more alive and real way than ever before. I've broken the bindings of my Evangelical / United Brethren upbringing. It took almost 70 years but I have arrived. My family of evangelicals are very worried, worried that I have entered a cult. I've explained to them that this isn't adopting a new religion but is a new way to look at the things we all believe. Breaking the ties of doctrine and dogma are difficult for them to even consider but that's ok.
Bob, we're so deeply glad that these concepts are enhancing your connection to and faith in God. Yes, that must be very difficult to have your family worried that you are joining a cult. But I'm so glad you can just feel it as a continuation of the love and truth that the Lord came to earth to bring to us. And he did promise there would be more! A further unfolding of what he wants to tell us and share with us:
“All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them.”
-Matthew 13:34
“These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.”
-John 16:25
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now” (John 16:12).
“If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” (John 3:12).
We are wishing you continued blessings, comfort and guidance! 💗
I just lost my Dad. We were so close it's like we were one person and when he left me I didn't want to live. He talks to me everyday and I talk to him. He tells me he is fine and he wants me to be happy. Thank you so much for the video which has helped me so much. But may I ask how do you know this is true? I pray it is.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss, Debra Jean. You must be in pain, having loved your dad like you did. I am glad to know, though, that you are in touch with him still! It is the truth, according to Emanuel Swedenborg, that our spirits never die. A spirit (a person) is defined by what she or he loves. And if we love the same things that others do, we are linked to these people forever! That means you will reunite in the spiritual world, when it's your time to enter the afterlife.
What I'm sharing now is based on the ideas recorded by eighteenth-century spiritual teacher Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). Swedenborg was a brilliant and accomplished scientist who also had a strong background in the Christian faith. In his mid-50s, he went through an intense period of self-examination, repentance, prayer and Bible study, after which he began to see spiritual visions, and then had a powerful vision of Jesus Christ. Christ called him to a mission of learning about the afterlife and about the deeper meanings in Scripture, because the time had finally come that Jesus had predicted, when more information would be revealed. Using his scientific skills, Swedenborg meticuolously recorded what he witnessed and learned in the visions that happened daily for about 27 years. We want everyone to decide for themselves whether to believe this information from Swedenborg's books or not, but we find it to be healing information that makes sense out of life and the Bible, and so we want to share it with everyone who is interested. For more information about Swedenborg and his credentials, see the following:

I know how you feel. I can’t believe that he’s gone. He’s so present in my mind. Still so alive and yet absolutely gone. The pain cuts so deep. I believe in the everlasting life for all of us and yet it hurts
Through the atoms of our body we are eternal like the universe. I was the sky, I was the sea,I was the wind and I was the tree.This is why I know that I was,I am and I will always be!
Beautifully said, Michel Di Sclafani. Very true, we are wonderfully connected. Blessings!
My daughter Karen passed away 7 years the day she passed away she had such a beautiful smile on her face I know father God has taken her to heaven and I will see her again and all my familey one day I believe in God so much ❤ 💙
My mom passed away just a few days ago on dec. 19th. I miss her so much.
Tiffany, I'm so so sorry for your loss. That's such a tender place to be, and so recent! My heart goes out to you. I have no doubt your mom is in heaven, sending you love and thinking of you, but free of pain and suffering also! You will see her again!

I hope they are tears of joy, Overprotected1111! I'm so glad they are beautiful and you enjoy them - sending love your way!
My dear wife love of my life just passed away three months ago and I thought I was gonna lose my mind. Even if these videos are not true, and I really hope they are, they gave a little bit of hope and comfort and the pain became a little bit easier to bear. I really hope to God, Swedenborg and gang are right.
Dear Juan, I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. Three months without the love of your life, after years of physical closeness, must be deeply painful. You are not alone in your grief, and I am so glad you felt moved to share with us a window into your personal experience. What you wrote will help others in your same situation! As for Swedenborg, I am so glad to hear that his ideas about the afterlife have lifted your spirit. That is exactly why we're interested in sharing them! Each of us needs nourishment for our bodies, but what's more, we need spiritual food in order to keep going through the rough times. I wonder if this clip might offer you something appealing in this very tender time you're going through. It's called, "What Dying Feels Like." ua-cam.com/video/W6T9CF0a5M0/v-deo.html And here's another video, if you'd like a heartier introduction to Swedenborg's Heaven and Hell: ua-cam.com/video/JJPVwCE4rOA/v-deo.html Feel free to disregard the second link if books and reading are the last thing on your mind! I included it because I thought it might quench your thirst for ideas about the afterlife. Wishing you peace, comfort, and spiritual discovery as you go about the next chapter of your life! Blessings, Juan!
I'm sorry to hear about your wife. Take it one day at a time. Don't allow anyone to force your grieving process. And become closer to God he will comfort you.
Juan, I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I lost my wife 18 months ago it’s still hard for me but these Swedenborg videos help me cope. I hope they help you too.
God bless u bro im going thru some deep pain in my heart an soul I just lost my wife she was the greatest wife,mother & companion now I just go thru my day asking myself why she was only 40 yrs old
I believe in God & I hope this is true
I know she's not longer struggling with pain rip my wife love her always ❤

My husband died suddenly at Christmas it's broken me..for a few weeks I felt him here I even saw him at the end of my bed x the electrics went on and off and my bathroom tap was running water..I really truly hope he's somewhere waiting for me x😇
Hayley, I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. And while I can't imagine the pain you must feel, I can at least offer some of the fundamentals Swedenborg observed: love transcends time and space -- you and your husband will reunite in the afterlife because of the love you share. The Lord desires that each of us live into eternity with our true loves, growing closer in partnership with them and with the Lord. Your husband is okay, and his love for you will not go away.
Here's an episode that speaks in greater detail about spiritual marriage. I'm here to support you: ua-cam.com/video/K7Nyz6EvR18/v-deo.html
@@offTheLeftEye thank you for the lovely reply x
Hayley Dryden I think that he is aware of how you feel and is trying to comfort you by letting you know that he’s still around, no time is right to lose a loved one but Christmas is the worst time of all, I lost my husband 13 years ago this November when he died I felt as if the bottom had fallen out of my world we’d been married over 30 years but I know when I look back that he’d been there all the time helping me through my grief I saw him in dreams and he spoke to me told me to get rid of his clothes when I was holding onto them he appeared in another dream dressed up in a whole new outfit and the last time I saw him he had been reunited with our dog that had died some years earlier her name was Scruff she was a Tibetan terrier then he moved on I don’t see him anymore I don’t need to because now I’ve moved on but I’ve learned so much from that experience🌺
@@carolynaitken7632 i see him alot in my dreams..he also was with our pet dog daisy...both looking great and healthy..thank you for taking the time to leave me a message..😇
Hayley Dryden your welcome God bless 💕
I was really taken back by watching this and finding out about Swedenborg. I have been trying to reconcile my learned beliefs that were strict and conditional about the after life. Alot of what I had been taught was in line somewhat with this but geared more toward teaching others about the tenets of the church I was raised in. Something inside me always couldn't agree with this. I had put together an idea of what it would be like and have watched several NDE videos trying to get a better idea. This hit is on the spot for me and made perfect sense in every detail. It really helped give me a clarification to some of the things about heaven that didnt make sense. Thank you so much for this and the work you are doing. I will devour the learnings and looking forward to expanding my insight to Angels and the afterlife. Also how I can better my life here and the lives of others. Thank you.
Wow, we are so thrilled when these concepts really "hit home" for people! Thank you so much for letting us know, L W, and we hope that exploring these concepts will continue to connect the dots in your understanding of life, and how to use it. God bless!
Mere rubbish guess work. Warm welcome to all irrespective of their way of life on earth Lol! ( May be true about a very meagre minority like Fr.Maximillian Kolbe ( Jn.15:13) or St.Therese of Calcutta ( Mt.25:34...40 ). It seems this new theory is from the proponents of the satanic doctrines sola fide and OSAS. Those who believe in it will eventually find, but too late , that they are neatly deceived by Satan !
I did die in an operating room. I remained in that room looking down at myself. I was blue from lack of oxygen. I had aspirated and was out. As I watched them all gathered around me and rushing to try to bring me back I went to another area and was told it wasn’t my time yet and had duties to perform still. I was told my husband needed me. Not my two children. A lot later in life I saved his mother’s life and I also saved his. Both during heart attacks. I know why babies cry so hard when being born because after they pumped out my lungs and brought me back that first breath was the most painful ever in my lifetime. Lungs were full as babies are with fluid and to clear that out and breathe in is just unbelievable pain. Thank you God for your kindness and helpfulness. It was a a very peaceful experience and felt good to be gone and it was hard to make that decision to come back but I will never regret it. God saved me through the hands of the doctors and nurses more than once. I am at peace now and not afraid to die. It was wonderful. I could go on with what happened later but my story is not very short. Be kind and show love and respect for others.
Thank you so much, Published 280, for sharing your experience with us. What a gift to feel like you had a preview of why you were needed in this world, and then got to play it out. And another gift to have a sense of the other side and to be completely unafraid about it! If your final sentence here is what you got out of your whole experience, then it sounds like something worth going through, despite the pain. Thanks for encouraging love and respect in all of us, and blessings to you as you continue your journey!
My dad was laying in a rented hospital bed signed up for hospice and in his own bedroom which was darkened. He had been quiet and he said suddenly, “oh thank you for bringing the light, it helps a lot.” Then he raised up his right arm and held out his hand and he said “Jesus.” Then he breathed his last.
Pat, wow, that is incredible. I hope it was a powerful moment for you as well! So sorry for your loss, but so glad to hear it was such a peaceful and love filled death, if I can say so. You might like our episode, "How Angels Take Care of Us When We Die" ua-cam.com/video/1rnk72vH7Ws/v-deo.html which talks about how angels help us during the dying process, and upon waking up in the next life. I wonder if it would resonate with your experience. Thank you so much for sharing that, God bless you!
If there is a GOD. He is not a fair, at alll. Takes the ones who want to live And leaves who don’t to give us misery not so fair
@@johndoeredfeather9600 I have had that thought too, my friend. Definitely been there, and I'm so sorry for your suffering.
I believe there are rules and goals that we just don't understand - but I believe it's all leading us towards good, ultimately, even though it doesn't feel that way a lot of the time. That's why it gives me comfort to believe that I will see my loved ones again, that love never dies but is only separated, and that we are all loved and valued more than we know.
If that sounds at all interesting to you, here are some episodes that you might like.

Bless you John.
The basic fact of our current existence is that we live in a fallen world, utterly corrupted and full of sin (unbelief). We are afflicted daily in various ways because of the nature of sin.
God has promised thru Jesus to bring us safely to a new life. This current one is temporary (and mean) but the one God offers is eternal and full of joyous love. There is no sin there because sin dies with the flesh. We won't even have any memory of sin. Heaven will be filled with sinners whose sins were forgiven and washed away in the blood of Christ.
God blocked the way to the tree of life so that we wouldn't have to live in this fallen and corrupted state forever. He truly saved us. Even from death (those who believe on Jesus never die, they just change, in the twinkling of an eye, at the point of physical death). For those of us left behind there is great sadness and loss, but for the one taken, eternal life and joy everlasting.
Pat Smith
That's an absolutely wonderful testimony. Tyfs. ❤️🌹❤️
I didn’t believe in any of this stuff until my deceased uncle (one of my best friends in life) came to visit me in a dream...he told me a lot of stuff covered in this video. He also looked younger than in life. We were in a sort of “waiting room” with big windows overlooking a panoramic view of a beautiful outdoor setting. My deceased mom was sitting in the room with us, not saying anything, but smiling and full of bliss, looking happier than I have ever seen her in life. I was able to ask him questions and he patiently answered them all. One question I had was: “is there such thing as hell?” And he said no. I jokingly asked him about my dead musical idols (Jimi Hendrix, etc) and he told me that they were there too, but that they weren’t playing the “rock star role” where they were...
It was such a strange dream, don’t know if it was real, but it certainly felt like it.
Norman, what an incredible experience! If it felt real to you, that is important! Amazing when we can get those visits. I hope that experience gave you some comfort!
Sorry, but hell IS absolutely real. God is not a liar. He addresses the reality of hell many times, for example;
"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
(Revelation 21:8 NIV)
What is 'fiery lake of burning sulfur' mean? It means, 'hell'.
It's ALSO the place where those who don't belong to Christ go, as well as satan, his fallen angels, 'death' and 'hades', (the temporary waiting/holding pond for those who are dead, or who die before the day of judgement).
Jesus said,
"“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
(Luke 16:19-31 NIV)
Jesus is not a liar, as God cannot lie. He's WARNING us of what's to come for those who choose self, or worldly ways, over God's ways, which means; surrendering ourselves to serve God.
The apostle John was given a 'Revelation' to experience AND to write the experience down as a forecoming WARNING to those who reject God.
"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."
(Revelation 20:11-15 NIV)
Anything that is written, or explained that is contrary to the Word of God, is NOT of God and is therefore FALSE, (a LIE) and is designed to cause CONFUSION from satan and those who belong to him.
DON'T FALL FOR THE LIES OF SATAN!!!
This video is FALSE! There's only ONE WAY to heaven and THAT is through Jesus Christ ONLY! There's NO OTHER WAY! Satan will try to trick us by pretending to be good, when he is NOT.
"For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."
(2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NIV)
@@glenturney4750 I respect your beliefs, but I don’t agree that a God of pure love could be described as an all loving benevolent God, if he created a person with the knowledge that their souls were already condemned to burn in such a place. I prefer to think of God as a creator, not a destroyer.
Keep in mind that Revelations was an account of a dream someone had. I too had a dream, so why was his dream taken seriously over anyone else’s dream? Is it just because it was included in the Bible? If that’s the test, then why were books removed from the Bible during various epochs, by random popes, etc? Which version of the Bible are we even talking about, because different versions of the Bible are worded differently, not to mention interpreted differently. Which part of the Bible do we interpret literally, and which is meant as a metaphor or parable? I can find plenty of biblical scholars with a simple search that can argue that the Bible doesn’t actually preach the gospel of hell’s existence
@@nomandad2000 I sure agree with you that a loving God wouldn't create a hell and send people there! Swedenborg learned that the Bible is a book of divine allegory and parable. It is not supposed to be taken literally. That causes all sorts of problems, as we discuss in our episode "It Is Damaging to Take the Bible Literally" ua-cam.com/video/g2HMeLVgRI4/v-deo.html You might find it interesting to delve into our episodes about the deeper meanings in the book of Revelation!
Regarding hell, Swedenborg witnessed that there is such a thing, but it is a place created by human hatred rather than by God. Hell is a state of mind in which a person refuses to let go of hatred, vengefulness, greed, hostility, self-centeredness, etc. God is constantly working to encourage people to let go of those things and let kindness and compassion to flow in, but also, God will not force people to be good. We must be left in freedom to choose, because goodness and love are not real unless they are freely chosen. Even in hell, God is constantly working to lead people in a better direction, but it can only go at the rate of each person's willingness. If you are interested in a very different take on what hell is, check out our episode "What Is Hell Really Like?" and see if any of that makes sense to you! ua-cam.com/video/gXCO1P6r-Kw/v-deo.html
@@offTheLeftEye God bless you . if one part of the Bible is a lie then who to say everything is a lie think about that . Such great book that hold high knowledge can’t destroy or twist a person even if taken literal. If so why the Bible mention judgement unless that is a lie as well or it has been change . Now there’s a problem.

It is so hard to not be able to talk with our departed loved ones, but I hope you can feel her spirit near you sometimes. Love is like spiritual magnetism -- it pulls our spirits together!
I wonder if you'd appreciate this episode:
"Will We See Our Loved Ones in the Afterlife?" ua-cam.com/video/9gdngWOvKas/v-deo.html
You can look forward to a happy reunion on the other side!
Blessings to you as you carry on in life. Perhaps remembering the way she loved you will inspire you to love others in a similar, soul-nourishing way. Wishing you peace.
I can’t wait to see Jesus and see my grandfather. I miss him so much and my mom. ❤️
Clearly you love your family members deeply, Beverly! Your reunion with your grandfather and your mom will be full of joy and relief!
I, too, miss family that have already gone "Home To Heaven ".For many years,I have thought of nothing but life and living "earthly 🌍 concerns ".Now that I 'm in my 60's ,I'm wanting to move my mind, ♥ heart and soul toward Eternity; to not fear and or be afraid of death. 💀 🙏🙏
@@marymaher4036 I'm sorry for those you have lost! We believe they live on, in the other world, and if you're interested in some of what Swedenborg learned about that, I have lots of episodes for you to check out! Swedenborg believed death is merely a transition - a rebirth into a new world, where we are more fully ourselves and continue to live and work and play and love just as we did in this world!
He wrote:
“When someone’s body can no longer perform its functions in the natural world in response to the thoughts and affections of its spirit (which it derives from the spiritual world), then we say that the individual has died. This happens when the lungs’ breathing and the heart’s systolic motion have ceased.
The person, though, has not died at all. We are only separated from the physical nature that was useful to us in the world. The essential person is actually still alive. I say that the essential person is still alive because we are not people because of our bodies but because of our spirits. After all, it is the spirit within us that thinks, and thought and affection together make us the people we are. We can see, then, that when we die we simply move from one world into another.” (Heaven and Hell §445)

@Paul Marquis Your story touches my heart, Paul! God bless you for protecting your mom as soon as you were able, and also saving your dad from indulging in more of that destructive behavior. What a blessing that you had a role model in your grandpa. God's forgiveness flows in as soon as we feel genuine remorse, and make the effort to stop harmful behavior, so trust that you are forgiven and deeply loved by God. And yes, you will absolutely reunite with all your loved ones in the afterlife, and I'm sure that will be a joyful and healing experience. Thank you so much for sharing these parts of your journey with us!

After my dad passed away, I saw many videos of people telling about their near death experience. Most of them said that they've been shown Hell and Heaven. That's completely different with this video. A lot people suffered & struggle before they died, mostly from illness. And for me it's just not fair that they have to suffer more in the afterlife for eternity. I hope that this video is the true answer. Because I think as human we have suffered enough & do not wish to be condemn in eternity.
I can hear the compassion in your tone, Bintang. Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad.
God is on the same page as you are: He doesn't want us to suffer either. He does permit suffering, but that is not the same as wanting it. Some people refuse to release harmful behaviors, time and again over the course of their lives, and since God does not force us to do good, He allows hell to exist as a home for those who prefer to rely on the guidance of self rather than on the wisdom of the divine. The existence of hell, Swedenborg learned, is ultimately an act of mercy - not of condemnation.

Many people won’t understand this, & that’s ok. I said goodbye to my soulpup, my black lab mix, Kindred, on Aug 23. It is the worst heartache & crushing grief I have ever experienced- including the loss of my father, which I thought would be the end of me. Kindred was almost 15 years old- almost unheard of for a dog/lab. I had her through 3 decades of my life, as she was my 28th birthday gift. I don’t know how to do this life without her. Most days I just float through with crying fits throughout. I’m normally working 25-30 hours/week, & I was laid off due to covid, so, too much time is not my friend. I’m now writing a children’s book with Kindred as the main character. Writing is my passion (I’m a teacher), & Kindred was my greatest love, so I figure writing about her would be the perfect legacy for me to leave. I hope to see this project through to publishing.🙏🏻Kindred, I adore you, babydog; you blessed me for almost 15 years, & I know you were ready to go, but I wasn’t ready to let you go. Like I said to you in your final moments, “I’ll never let you go.” I promise, I won’t.😢💔❤️🩹❤️
The depth of your love is clearly reflected in the depth of your grief. I am so sorry for your loss, Nicole. Kindred sounds like an absolutely incredible loved one! No wonder you miss her with every part of you.
I love what you're doing with your love for her. You're writing. You're engaged in another of your loves in order to celebrate the life Kindred brought to yours! What better way to honor her than that!
You are helping others walk through their own grief by sharing your own so candidly, and for that I honor you! Thank you, friend. Keep going. We send you a prayer for God's blessings on your endeavor to publish this project when the time is right!
I wonder if this video would offer you anything useful in your process. It's called, "Pets in Heaven" ua-cam.com/video/e_juw6tmXQY/v-deo.html
@@offTheLeftEye Thank you, from the bottom of my❤️. She was the best dog……gentle, curious, adventurous, loving, & by my side for 14.5 years. … I’ll never be the same without my furchild, but I will go on. For her.💔❤️🩹❤️
@@aroseinwinter05 Melissa here, and as I write to you, my two black labs are lying down next to me. I know it will be heartbreaking when either of them move on to the next life - and I am so sorry for your loss.
These relationships we have with our animals are real and meaningful, but love does not ever die -- they are still with us, in some way, and I believe we will see them again, though we must endure separation.
Sending love to your grieving heart, my friend. Good luck with the writing project! May it bring healing and peace to you and to all of your readers! You are not alone in this experience, and I think it could be very useful to share it with others!
@@offTheLeftEye Melissa, happy to know a fellow black lab-dog momma. Your words are very much felt, & I appreciate your reaching out to me, a total stranger. I agree, tenfold- the love never dies, & energy cannot be created or destroyed- it just transfers into some other space & time. I just cannot bear the reality that I’ll never walk Kindred again; never watch her play in the leaves or snow again; never see her wise, pure little spirit as she looks out the window, the sun shining on her beautiful black coat. The memories are infinite, the longing… permanent. Just love on those furbabies with everything you got. Life is short. Heartache is abundant. But I know it would not be so profound without profound, limitless love. Somehow I will go on, bc she’d want me to. My little soulpup. I’d give anything for one more day, but her body was old & tired. I needed to set her free. *Kindred Joy Forbus, 12/7/06 - 8/23/21* .. I’ll never let you go, I’ll never forget, & I cannot wait to see you again.😢💔❤️🩹❤️
This video has been one of many that I have personally watched for over a month and a half now. My beautiful wife Heidi sadly passed away on March 29th, 2021. Her father died ten days prior on March 19th, 2021. The local hospital had diagnosed my beloved wife with conversion disorder after her father had passed. I believe that other "underlying" stress and trauma contributed to her passing. I was with Heidi when she passed away to go to Heaven to be with Jesus. Heidi was full of life and laughter in this world, and we both agreed that we were each other's soulmates. I fully agree that God does put people in each other's lives for a very GOOD REASON. Obviously, our daughter Samantha and I really miss Heidi tremendously. Literally ALL FAMILY and friends, who knew and loved Heidi always will feel this way. Several encouraging and enlightening events have happened since Heidi passed away to Heaven. I know that within my heart and soul that Heidi and I will be reunited once again in God's AWESOME KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! It is mentioned within the scripture of The Holy Bible, that when our physical bodies die and our souls/spirits depart into the "NEW-LIFE", that we are in fact reunited with all of our loved ones who preceded us in death on earth. I constantly communicate with my daughter, and other family members, with how much I deeply love and care for each and every one of them. I pray that All of my loved ones, as well as myself will ALL BE REUNITED TOGETHER IN GOD'S KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. AMEN.
What a beautiful story of LOVE, Donald! Thanks so much for sharing this. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your beautiful wife. It warms my heart to know of your firm conviction that you WILL be reunited with Heidi again, and that ALL your loved ones will have a joyful reunion in heaven. Blessings to you and your family as you continue to adjust to Heidi's physical absence, and may you keep feeling the vibrant love you shared, still alive in your heart!
HALLELUYAH JESUS, AND AMEN 💗

I lost my precious mom this september I can't believe it happened
Everything happened so quickly I thought she will be okay by end but unfortunately she left the world
I wish I could have saved her somehow
I wanted to hug her and have my daily usual laugh with her everyday she was everything to me I still believe she is watching me but I wanted her to be with me she left so early at age 49 that's is what I kills me she could have lived more enjoyed the world little more ...I miss you mom I hope I will see you again one day and we can have our bond again forever
Yash, I am so deeply sorry about the painful loss of your beloved mother. What a shock to lose her so much earlier in her life than you thought you would. My heart goes out to you. Yes, you will ABSOLUTELY see her again, and your bond will continue forever. She is still connected to you right now in love and in spirit, though it is very hard to be aware of that here on Earth when you are yearning for her physical presence. You may find some comfort in these two videos:

"5 Reunions in the Afterlife" ua-cam.com/video/wpWrtwlyvE0/v-deo.html
For now, I know your mother wants to to take care of yourself, so that you can recover and heal. Be patient with yourself, because the pain of loss takes a long time to heal. Pay attention to what you need each day to get through it. Turn to others for help when you need it. Continue to talk to your mother in your mind, or in a journal, because she will be able to receive your thoughts and feelings. You may not be able to be aware of her presence with you in an obvious way, but try to notice when meaningful thoughts, feelings, memories, or coincidences come to you that relate to your mother and your relationship with her. I believe those are indications of her spiritual presence with her.
We are sending much love to you, and wishing you healing and peace! -- Karin 💗
You feel no pain, then become aware of the truth of things, then move towards the light. And God is good and kind. Not the vengeful monster he's made out to be.

I am 58yrs old. At age 16 I took an overdose of sleeping pills. I remember as if it was yesterday, being very high in what seemed to be the air, looking down at a sheet covered body in a basement morgue; that body was me. I saw Two nurses, one a matron, wearing the larger white triangle type hat, and a younger nurse with her. I then felt a presence next to me, a warm loving presence, yet I could not actually see anyone. Although no words were spoken, I heard the words , "it's not your time yet", then felt a kiss on my cheek. Suddenly I rose up, the sheet falling off my face to my chest, both nurses who I'm sure wheeled me into that room, went pale white, mouths agape..matron a few seconds later asked what my name was, i said Julie, (my name isn't Julie btw lol)... I grabbed the sheet, jumped off a steel gurnie and said " I'm going home" and walked out....I had no home, I was homeless. I knew when I left there (hospital), that I didn't really want to die, I had something to do, but had no idea what it was. I told people about my experience, kids on the sts taking drugs, as a way to stop them from taking them and or taking so many. That presence I called 'someone', but inside I knew who it was. Everywhere I went from that day, jehovah witnesses, Morman's, Christians would all stop me, ask if they could help etc...I'd run the other way lol....but they kept coming, as if chasing me. I got a job, not the best to have, but it put a roof over my head, and I started getting young girls, runaways off the sts, hear their story and would get them to go home where they were safer, by telling them my story and why I could not go home. I married, had children and was born again, age 30. Age 33, I was again taking in kids off the sts, divorced and raising five kids....I've had nearly 200 kids..ohh Abraham!..and still I'm taking little children under my wing...just received two more down the crt 2weeks ago... I am never childless, yet I have no grandchildren as yet. I was also given a spiritual gift of 'foresight' .. you will know what I'm saying. This is a short version of my testimony with Jesus, his blessings and unconditional love.

Pray privately, that's what Jesus said to do.
My dad passed at 92, but months later he visited me and was the young, handsome man he once been. He sat on the edge of my bed and told me to tell the rest of my family that he was fine and happy and not to worry about him. Up until that point, he had sent me many signs, but after that visit, I think he is comfortably at home in heaven now, because those signs are fewer.
What an experience, Patricia! Thank you for sharing! You sound reassured by his visit and by his less frequent contact following the visit. That certainly lines up with Swedenborg's take on what happens in the afterlife: we all continue to live! Your dad is very likely engaged with the useful, joy-filled activities to which he is uniquely suited!

I do currently study A Course In Miracles along with practicing unconditional love for everyone who enters into my life and even those who I feel led to help by perhaps entering into theirs....I feel as if I have found a huge piece to a puzzle I have been working since a child. I've always had more questions than anyone at church could answer as a child and teenager. Then in 2001 with me in my early 20's, a newlywed with a 2 year old daughter, my Mother was brutally murdered by her husband. I had 2 younger sisters by my Mother who were 8 & 9 to raise at that point. 2 years later my Maternal Grandfather who raised me died of a broken heart literally. His heart stopped working. 3 years later in 2006 my sister Emily (the 9 year old ) died in a car wreck 8 days after her 16th birthday. I also had 2 siblings by my Dad a brother & sister, and it was then in 2009 one of my other sisters Jessica (from my Dad) died at 23 with two separate entities of cancer in her precious body. Married with two babies, diagnosed in Sept. and by Jan. 2nd of 2009 she was just gone.... So yes I had many many questions....I Know and have always known that I will see them again one day. This led me to the Near death videos and the stories of thousands which I've read. Dr. Eben Alexander actually was a Dr. here in the town I live in AT the hospital we ALL were born in. I felt that was a sign for me. Maybe, I'll find out one day. I can't express the relief & joy I have in finding you! I love God & I can't wait to see all of my loved ones and further my education of Loving people & helping others. May God Bless You All!!!
Namaste,
Melanie
See my response under the "You Are the Lungs" video. Blessings to you!
Your story had me riveted! I’m a former h.s. English teacher, and in think you should write a book! I’m sorry for such a problematic life that brought you so many miseries. It sounds like you have your act together and have overcome so much adversity that I know you will be happy and at peace now and after death.
Many blessings to you❣️🙏💫🌷
Wonderful information on which many unanswered questions and doubts are put to rest .So who was meant to be our soulmates in this physical body would be met in our spiritual body on earth also as spirits is it .?
How can one love and be so aligned to another soul when they are not physically together here.
We feel their presence ,and know that they belonged sometime in our past life to know their true nature Are there any explanations when their emotions of wanting to be with each belong to the spirit world as natural as it seems .? .Knowing them as if they have lived together
Mind vs mind ,heart vs heart .
Yet far apart and no contact physically.
I saw an image of my dad's face a couple hours after he passed and I could read all the emotions and character traits of his soul I guess you could say. Some of the characteristics were opposite of what he was in physical life. It was really special and even though I missed his physical presence, I knew he was still here.
What a gift that was Sinbad. To be able to see and read his face is amazing. Here is a short video about how to perceive the presence of angels with us ua-cam.com/video/7RbFpP3T-ig/v-deo.html
Yes you miss him and the reunion when you are together again will be marvelous.

This is my best friend's story.
Precious Memories- By Sonya Lakey
We had no idea that the evening of September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our oldest son played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for him (which he usually did for himself) for the church hike he was going on the following day.
My mom, who was visiting from out of state, and I got up early with him on Saturday morning to hug him and see him off. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own.
As he pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mom and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw our 16 year old son. He did not make it home that night.
That afternoon, a friend had tried to contact us, leaving a message on the phone to call back due to an emergency, but we really had no clue what was going on. And though we tried several times to return the call, we were not able to make a connection. As I helped prepare supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan and dread filled my heart, and I quietly blinked back tears. I looked out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pulling in, but no.
However, within minutes, a police car DID pull in our driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst, but I went outside to speak with him. He confirmed who I and my husband (who followed me out) were, then hesitantly told us our son had fallen off a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed.... Still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, we have such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son again. You see, even as a young boy, Ethan realized some very important truths from God's Word.
He had sinned against a righteous, holy and just God. The Bible says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that his sin separated him from God, and he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
He understood he could not pay the price for his sins.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan realized that, 'though he could not pay the price for his sins, the price had already been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life. He had no fault of His own. But Jesus was crucified for our sins, and He took on Himself the sins of every person in the whole world. He was beaten, spit on, whipped, mocked, scourged, and nailed to the Cross of Calvary. He shed every drop of His righteous blood - because that was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous God - so we could be made righteous in Him. He suffered all of that so Ethan - and you and I - would not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, but so we could spend eternity in Heaven with HIM! THAT is a great LOVE.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not stay on the cross, nor did He stay in the tomb where His body was buried. Three days later, Jesus arose triumphant over sin and death and the grave. Ethan believed this with his whole heart, asked Jesus to forgive his sins, and he put his faith in Jesus Christ ALONE to save him from sin and eternal death and to take him to Heaven someday.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus and others. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. We know he is alive in Heaven with Jesus today, and we know we will see him again soon, not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day? Would your family, though grieving, be able to rejoice in the knowledge that they would see you again in Heaven, or would you be burning in Hell today?
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
Have YOU trusted Jesus as YOUR Saviour? Have you repented of your sins? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you so you can go to Heaven & not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire? Tomorrow may be too late. As Ethan pulled out of sight that morning, we had no idea we would never see him again in this life. None of us have the promise of tomorrow! Repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus alone - today!
“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14
Please, let your Mom's words comfort your heart. Pray & know we are with you & we all need this comfort. God will bless you more. 🌈✝️❣️

I woke up early this morning and was reading a book about Swedenborg in my living room and thought I would come on you tube and see what was on this platform. It is fascinating and I get that it is how I live now and to be focused on love and raising my vibration. Thanks for the videos. Great stuff.
So glad you find this channel helpful in your life focus, Ivan! Blessings to you on your journey!
Thank you for a loving informative presentation of the afterlife. Since I walk with my feet in both realms I can say that what you have shared is absolutely true and accurate. Much love and spiritual hugs to all of you. Blessings always🙏🙏
It's delightful to have this affirmation, Ernie. Thanks so much for commenting, and I'm glad this video touched your heart in a resonant way!
I am 76 years old. All of my family is gone now and I am all alone. I look forward to the day Jesus takes me home! I just thank him for his love and forgiveness.
Blessings to you while you await your turn, Richy.
The very first dream of my daughter after she passed gave me hope, I have to write a story about it her face had never been happier
That's wonderful, Gloria! I'm so glad you had that dream! It must have been a great comfort.
I was holding my dads hand when he past away... I could see a sparkling ✨ golden yellow aura beaming either from his body or to his body.. it was absolutely beautiful.. he took a deep breath and looked to fell asleep peacefully... saddest most beautiful thing I ever saw...
Wow, that is indeed so beautiful! My heart goes out to you at this time of loss. It's so painful to lost a beloved parent! But I'm glad you received this gift, seeing that aura of beauty and peace surrounding him as he passed. We're wishing you healing and peace, and confidence in the fact that you will have a joyful reunion with your dear dad someday! 💖
In 2003 My Dad caught my Mom's last breath with a kiss. I saw a puff of air come from her lips. My Dad said " Oh Honey" and leaned down to kiss her. Just as his lips met hers, I and my younger brother, my sister and my Mom's youngest sister all witnessed his lips cover hers. Every one waited a few seconds and then we all exclaimed " You caught her last breath!" I think that is all that helped him live longer.
@@sandraldingess7409 sounds like a very powerful, loving experience! Thank you for sharing that, what a wonderful expression of love and connection in such a poignant moment. Love and blessings, Sandra!
That's amazing.
Sadly my Nan died a few days ago I'm so upset
@@Arounadabout I'm so sorry for your loss! Perhaps this episode will help provide some hope and comfort: "Will We See Our Loved Ones in the Afterlife?" ua-cam.com/video/9gdngWOvKas/v-deo.html
Sending love and blessings to you during this difficult time!
Clicked when I saw Swedenborg. Was fascinated by Emanuel Swedenborg’s writing many years ago.
Interesting, Scarbo! There's lots to explore on this channel about the ideas Swedenborg wrote about. May you find some helpful and inspiring videos here!
In my dream, I talked to my mother and brother. It seemed so real.
What a gift to feel them close to you Ron. They are very much alive and love you more than ever. They are engaged in the life of heaven and yet you are still precious to them. It is marvelous that you could have a strong dream about them. Take care, Ron.
