One second after you die....

[Amity]

Sure will be nice to have a body and brain that work properly. I have Dyspraxia and there are moments where I know it's hobbling my intellect.

right there with you. My chemo brain is terrible and causes a lot of problems.

Death is not a wall, it's a doorway. People do not end in oblivion, they relocate to another dimension -- Heaven or Hell. A tunnel? Since Heaven and Hell are different dimensions spanning enormous distances from Earth (a great gulf fixed), the tunnel may be what they call in science fiction a "wormhole", a means of interstellar, or in this case inter-dimensional travel from one point to a place outside the universe. The Norse had their myths, but some hidden truths may be gleaned from it. They believed in a "rainbow bridge" that was a gateway to all the "nine realms" of the universe, calling it BIFROST. I took their term and turned it into an acronym, rendering B.I.F.R.O.S.T. as Bilateral Interdimensional Foray Running Over Space-Time. I believe we who are believers are assigned a guardian angel to husband be with us thru life, and to escort us into the presence of Almighty God. Perhaps saints who have earned special rewards (martyrs?) take a ride there on chariots of fire.

As I described in my thread , Jim definitely saw someone, so I think of Rocky's doorway as a veil.
Unless the door is wide open...

Marianne, did you start a prayer thread? I haven’t seen it if so. What is the title? You know I’m praying for you!

Yes...in the prayer requests...Prayer request for me and my family.
I know you are praying, thank you so much

We don't know who may be reading different posts on here and this is a very good discussion in answer to the question - what happens one second after you die?

What happens?

2 times every week I take my 6 year old granddaughter to a indoor trampoline park. Being the Fitbit junky that I am, Im always walking around inside, getting my steps in. While walking, I like to watch the kids playing. Its really nice to watch kids who seem to be coming inside this fun place for the first time. As they enter from the ramp, it must look really huge for the small kids. The music is loud, different colored lights are blinking, kids hollering and laughing, the sheer joy is the constant facial expression for these kids.

Thats what I think it will be like for me. One second Im in this body, and the next Im experiencing a whole new world, Heaven. Bright colors everywhere, everybody smiling as they welcome me, no troubles anymore, nothing but sheer bliss. Who knows, maybe I will go off jumping like the kids at the trampoline park. With my glorified body, I wont even need the trampolines to bounce around wherever I feel like going. But unlike the kids at the trampoline park, there is no time limit, I will stay there forever.

Yes, I enter the Kingdom like a kid.

Yes, I enter the Kingdom like a kid.

Suddenly, you hear a vaguely familiar voice coupled with a vaguely familiar face, calling out, "Hey Stanley!"
Then you ask yourself, "Why was I in such a hurry to get here? That's the last guy I expected would even make the cut!"
See? I expect to enter His Kingdom like a kid, too! Won't it be grand!?

A chariot of fire. The Cadillac of all chariots. I Chuck Missler say once that when we die, he believed we are led by an Angel to be with Christ and that then we would see the "behind the scenes" war going on over this planet and the souls within.

That sounds beautiful.

I was with my aunt the last few days before she died of emphysema from years of smoking cigarettes. A slow way to go, but she was very clear minded when awake, but would periodically be semi comatose and unable to arouse her. Then, in a couple hours she would be back and lucid and clear minded.

I asked her one time, “Where are you when you’re not awake?” She said she’s out at “the farm.” Her grandparents had a farm-in east central Iowa that was the site for many family get togethers and reunions. She was out there for a party, but was out on the periphery. She said she was meeting many people she had always heard about, but never met because they had died before she was born or was a small child. Each time she came back to the farm she was closer into the”party”.

One time when she came back from a period of not wakening easily. I asked her where she had been. She told me that she had learned why things had had to happen in her life and it made sense now. She’d had periods that weren’t very happy, but now seemed quiet and accepting of them because she understood why things happened the way they had.

I asked her how she got to the farm, she waved her hand towards a corner of the room by the ceiling and told me it just started to appear there and filled in until she was at the farm. Another time when we were just quietly talking because her roommate was napping,she said,” The room is very crowded .” There were just 3 of us physically there, but evidently there were quite a few more unseen visitors.

I, also, was with my dad in hospice and noted he was reaching his hand up to the side of his bed when appearing to be asleep. I have the feeling there quite a few visitors in that room too.

I think that when a person I’d very close to death, they can see things of both sides of the veil we call death. The screen that prevents us from seeing another dimension is very thin or maybe their spirit is able to go back and forth between the two dimensions.

Anyway, we are told in the Bible that Jesus prepares a place for us and it’s going to be a BIG party when we go home to Him...... What a day that will be!

Moosejive! Happy to see you!

 

[moosejive]

Glad to be back, am really going to be working hard at staying more connected... I sort of forgot how nice it is to be around those who love the Lord Jesus

[kathymendel]

We're so glad to have you back with us, moosejive!!!

One second after I die, I will be "doing my happy dance" !!!!! All the way up.................

 

[thirdplacebeliever]

My life here on earth is the only “hell” I’ll ever know. For the unsaved it’s the only heaven they’ll ever know. Eternity is a very long time.

I love this, I'll have to remember that one.

 

[thirdplacebeliever]

mum is the word
1Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Yes! It will be better than we can even conceive in our dimension-ally challenged minds.

Moosejive, when my grandma was dying, she would be “out” but humming music. She’d wake up and ask if I heard the “church music”. All the while counting stitches in the blanket with her fingers. She waited for me to go outside to smoke and when I came back she was gone Home.

Surely the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Its a heartbeat away. Know Jesus, know peace. No Jesus, no peace.

Not only is it so true, but it is also a great witnessing tool.
Agreed, I've got to hang onto that one.

I heard that at the point of death, someone's life flashes in front of their eyes. All their life since childhood flashes faster in the first seven seconds. I'm not sure if it's true but I have ever had an out-of-body experience when I was sick. I saw myself traveling through a tunnel to the other side.

I believe death is not the end of someone's life. Another life begins after you die. Either in heaven or in hell.

I believe that is related to the DMT released prior to death but that is speculation from what I have studied in the past.

That’s beautiful. I love the farm and her getting answers! Were they believers? I was reading a thread on Reddit last night, and a nurse said it was people knowing they were going to die and talking with “dead” family that took some getting used to. I did a lot of research when my uncle was dying, and it’s not uncommon for people to converse with loved ones who’ve long been dead and to hold off their dying until a loved one can accept it.

I had an uncle years ago in the hospital. He was very sick. He was unsaved. He came out of the hospital on fire for God. He said he was dying, and Jesus was quietly standing on one side of his bed holding out His hand. Satan was on the other side jumping up and down and making a lot of noise.

Our hope, our salvation, is such a wonderful thing. We can know death is just a temporary separation.

 

[Sojourner414]

One second after they die is going to be three seconds too late for those who are not trusting in the Lord Jesus for their salvation.

I by no means intend to be a "wet blanket" here (sorry folks! ), but when I think of all those who have yet to hear the message of the Gospel and of those who are lost in their sins, I sink with sadness. it wasn't all that long ago that I was one of them, and that only by someone caring enough to leave tracts for me to find and read did I ever come to the Lord.

Father in Heaven, we come before Your Throne of Grace in the name of Your Son and our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Abba, use us as Your ambassadors to a lost and dying world, and let us be Your hands and feet in these closing hours to reach a world that spurns You, yet You continue to reach out in perfect love and mercy to offer salvation and forgiveness. Give us the words to speak through Your Holy Spirit, and give us the courage and heart to bring Your Gospel to those who need to hear this. In Christ's precious name we ask and pray this, Amen.

This is awesome because it shows that the Lord will give an unbeliever every possible chance to be saved, even up until the moment of death. It shows how merciful He truly is.
