Near Death Experience. Pilot Sees Heaven.

 Captain Dale Black was a pilot who died in a plane crash.

‘’The plane burst apart, the three pilots were thrown at about 220 kilometres per hour onto the concrete from about twenty metres. Only Dale survived, somehow...

Suddenly I was thrown into the air and hovered over my shattered body...
Two angel escorts accompanied me, dressed in seamless white robes woven from silver threads.‘’

He reached God's heaven. After God sent him back to his body and his earthly life, he tried to describe what he had experienced in heaven.

‘’Each house was customised and unique, yet they all looked very harmonious together. Some had three or four storeys, others were even higher. No two houses were alike.‘’

Burke, John . This is what heaven is like: near-death experiences, the promises of God, and the extraordinary future that awaits you (German Edition) . Kindle Edition.

Shortly before his death on the cross, Jesus wanted to encourage his disciples.

In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? Jn 14:2 NRSV

The home of the heavenly Father is the city of God in heaven. When you trust Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you have a new and eternal citizenship.

Your home is God's heaven. God has prepared a home for you, your own home.

Have you ever been to a church service and the singing gradually became boring?

Then the question arises whether worship in heaven will only be a service without end. The thought is discouraging.

But if heaven will only be a never-ending worship service, why will we need houses?

In God's heaven, everything is indescribably beautiful, the trees, the flowers, the music and even the houses.

Surely we will worship God with songs of praise.

The apostle Paul was stoned and died. He died and then came back.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 2 Co 12:2 NASB95

From the context of the passage, we understand that Paul was most likely talking about his own experience.

God created you with a mortal body, but you are also a spiritual being. Your life will never come to an end.

Where will you live forever?

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Jn 11:25–26 NIV

In God's heaven are all those who trust and love Jesus from the heart, but all others will continue to exist elsewhere, without God, without love and without hope.
