I Saw Them in Hell Ayron Baxster

A terrifying vision of hell, in which a vast dark place filled with fiery vessels containing suffering souls. In desperation, the speaker called upon the name of Jesus Christ, and at the third call, a brilliant light rescued them from the torment. Jesus then spoke, telling them to warn the world that hell is real. Reflecting afterward, the speaker realized that those suffering in the vessels represented people who had lived in sexual sin and rebellion against God, emphasizing the truth of Scripture and the reality of divine judgment and salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

Howard Pittman Placebo

Howard Pittman, a Baptist minister, had a near-death experience in 1979 where he claimed to be shown the reality of the spiritual world. He described passing through the Second Heaven, seeing demons working to deceive mankind, and then approaching the Third Heaven, where only a few believers entered compared to the many who were turned away. Standing before God, Pittman realized that much of his ministry had been self-serving, like a “placebo” — outwardly religious but inwardly empty. God warned him that many professing Christians are deceived, merely “playing church” while failing to live genuine faith. His testimony serves as a wake-up call that true Christianity is more than words, requiring daily commitment, repentance, and authentic obedience to God.

On August 3, 1979, Howard Pittman, a Baptist minister for 35 years, died while on the operating  table during surgery and had a near-death experience. After angels showed him the second and  third heavens, he was taken before the very throne of God where he was given a message to share  with the world.  

The following is an excerpt from his booklet, Placebo, which documents his amazing near-death  experience. You can purchase his audio tapes and booklets at the Lake Hamilton Bible Camp  store.  

Forward 

Webster's Dictionary defines "placebo" as "a medication prescribed more for the mental relief of a  patient than for the actual effect on his disorder, or something tending to soothe."  

The doctors tell us that if we know we are being treated with a placebo, it does not work. In our minds we must think that it is a real medication and has the strength or power to heal. If the patient believes this, then the treatment has been known to work wonders in many cases that otherwise 

could not have been treated. Placebo treatment is, in fact, nothing of substance, but in the mind of  the patient it is real. In order for this kind of treatment to work, the doctor must convince the  patient of the work of the medication.  

My friend, I declare unto you that this is the exact "treatment" that most "mouth-professing"  Christians are using today. The doctor administering this "medication" is satan himself. He gives  the "patient" a sugar-coated religion, a shallow experience, and whispers half-truths into his ears.  He then tells the "patient" that it is real and that it is all the "patient" needs. The "patient", having  been taken in by satan, believes this and goes on his merry way declaring to all that he has been  born again, his salvation is real, and this experience is all that he needs. Doctor satan will allow his  "patient" to continue to go to church and will allow him to take part in any church, that is, singing,  leading in prayer, teaching Sunday School, and even preaching. He will allow the "patient" to  make any kind of statement in connection with his "mouth-professing" religion, even to the point  of the saving power of Jesus. Yes, he will allow the "patient" to do all and say all with one  exception. That exception is that the "patient" will not be allowed to live the life that he confesses  with his mouth ...  

Preparation  

In the year 1978, I retired from the New Orleans Police Department and moved my family to a  sixty-one acre farm in Mississippi. Around August 7, 1979 I was suddenly stuck with a grave and  disastrous illness. The night before the tragedy I went to bed as usual …On awakening that  morning I was slightly nauseated and skipped breakfast. My wife asked me if was not going to eat.  I replied that I had to hurry to keep my appointment with some folks who I hoped would support  my candidacy for sheriff with campaign contributions. I was unaware that God had also made an  appointment for me that day. Let me remind you that the Bible says that it is appointed once unto  man to die and, without warning, my appointment came. Like a flash of lightning, the main trunk  artery in my body cavity ruptured causing a devastating, sudden, blood loss …So at midnight they  carried me into ICU and at 6:00 a.m. the following morning, my vital life signs failed again. The  chief physician came out of ICU and told my wife, “It is something else.” They took me into  surgery where they worked on me for an additional seven hours ...  

[For the sake of brevity, a large amount of Pittman's description of his Emergency Room  experience is not reprinted here. Read his book for the full description.]  

Somewhere in that period of time when the physicians were working on me, I came to myself and  realized that I was dying …Knowing that only God could give me back my life and that only God  could change this appointed time to die, I prayed a strange prayer. My prayer was that God would  allow me to appear before His throne and pleaded for an extension of my physical life. In any  other time and place this sort of prayer would be unusual, however, all of this was planned by God  to ultimately serve His purpose. The thought to pray such a prayer was instilled in my mind by the  Holy Spirit ... 

Chapter 7: The Grand Tour  

What happens next is so incredible that some people find it hard to believe. May I say at the outset  that I know the difference between dreams, visions, and a real experience. May I also point out  that if you do not believe in satan and demons as being real, individual beings, then you do  yourself and the Kingdom of God a great disservice. It stands to reason that you cannot understand  or even withstand an enemy if you do not believe he is real.  

At the moment I resisted satan, he fled from me. The angels were there and they took my spirit  from my body. These angels were present all the time that satan tempted me although I did not  know it because I was still in the flesh. The angels did not attempt to help me until I had resisted  satan with my own will. The only help I had was the supernatural revelation from the Holy Spirit  that the voice I was hearing belonged to satan and not to God. Whether or not to obey that voice  was my choice.  

When the angels lifted my spirit from my body, they carried me immediately to the Second  Heaven. We did not have to leave that hospital room in order to enter the Second Heaven. We  entered there in that same room where my body was, just by passing through a dimension wall. It  is a wall which flesh cannot pass through, only spirit.  

For you the reader, to understand what was happening, you must understand the separation of the  spirit from the flesh. To know how this works, we must know how we, ourselves, are made. The  Bible states that we, as humans beings are made in the image of God. To understand this, we must  know what God is. The Bible states three immutable things about God: 1st God is Spirit, 2nd God  is invisible and 3rd God is immortal. If we are made in His image, then we are spirit, we are  invisible, and we are immortal. Therefore, when we look into a mirror we do not see our real  selves. We see only the body, or earthen vessel, in which we live. Since we are all made in the  image of God, we would all be mirror images of one another without our earthly, physical bodies.  Therefore, we were given a soul to separate us from one another to make us an individual.  

The animals in this world also have a soul. The only difference between their souls and ours is that  our soul belongs to the spirit. Their souls belongs to the body. When their body perishes, their soul  perish with it. When our body perishes, the soul remains with the spirit. When the spirit was lifted  from my body, my soul came with it. I suppose the simplest way to identify the soul would be to  say that it is one’s personality. The entire time I was away from my body I remained an individual,  that is, I retained my own personality. I retained all my faculties. In fact, they were greatly  enhanced.  

As we moved through that dimension wall into the Second Heaven, I found myself in an entirely  different world, far different from anything I had ever imagined. This world was a place occupied  by spirit beings as vast in number as the sands of the seashore. These beings were demons [devils],  or fallen angels, and were in thousands of different shapes and forms. Even those in similar shapes  and forms were contrasted by diverse coloring. Many of the demons were in human shapes or forms and many were in forms similar to animals familiar to our present world. Others were in  shapes and forms too hideous to imagine. Some of the forms were so morbid and revolting that I  was almost to the point of nausea.  

When I first arrived in the Second Heaven, I knew immediately in what direction I must go to  reach the Third Heaven where God was. I don’t know how I knew that, but I did. I also knew that  if I was going to get my prayer answered, I was going to have to appear before God the Father in  the Third Heaven. I was aware that I was traveling in that spirit world under the protection of the  Holy Spirit, and that the angels who were escorting me were also moving about under the  protection of the Holy Spirit. It might seem strange to you, the reader, that the angels needed the  protection of the Holy Spirit, but remember where we were, the Second Heaven. The Second  Heaven is the place where satan presently has his throne located. satan is not yet in Hell although  Hell is to be his final destiny.  

All the spirits in that world were aware of our presence and were aware of the Holy Spirit’s  protection over us. To give you an idea as to why that protection was necessary, let me give a  Bible reference to the power of satan as demonstrated in the Second Heaven. The tenth chapter of  the book of Daniel tells about God sending one of His angels to deliver a message to Daniel.  Because of the importance of that message, satan did not want it delivered. In order for the angel  sent from God in the Third Heaven to reach Daniel, he had to pass through the Second Heaven.  satan sent one of his princes, or one of his archangels, to stop the angel. The angel had to fight and  could not get through alone so he had to call for reinforcements. God had to send one of His  princes, or the archangel, to help the messenger and even this took twenty–one days. After the  angel delivered the message, he reminded Daniel that he, the angel, would have to fight his way  back through the Second Heaven.  

As we moved about there in that world, I was greatly disappointed that my escort did not take me  in the direction of the Third Heaven where God was. Instead, we moved in the opposite direction.  As we moved from place to place in that world, I learned many things about demons.  

I did things differently in the spirit realm than what we do here in the physical world. For instance,  we do not communicate with our mouths and ears, but rather, we communicated with our minds. It  was like projecting our words on thought waves and receiving the answer the same way. Although I could still think to myself without projecting, I discovered that this really did not benefit me  because the angels could read my mind.  

I could hear different sounds in that world, but I did not hear with my ears. I heard with my mind,  but I was still able to “hear” those sounds. When we traveled, we traveled mostly at what I call the  “speed of thought.” When we traveled at the “speed of thought,” there was no sensation of  movement. The angel would say where we were going and we were there. There were other times  when we did not travel in that manner, and I was very much aware of movement while traveling.  One of those times when I was aware of movement was when they brought me back into the physical world and allowed me to see the demons working here. We moved about here somewhat  like floating on a cloud. Still, I had the sensation of movement.  

Make no mistake about demons for they are very real. The Bible makes more statements about  demons than it does about angels and it points out in Luke 10:18 that demons are evil. Mark 5:8-9 indicates how numerous they are and Matthew 10:1 shows that they are unclean. Matthew  12:21-30 states that they are under the command of satan and Matthew 8:29 shows that they can  possess humans.  

In the demon world, there is a division of power much like a military structured chain command  with rank and order. Certain demons carry the title of prince, which is always the demon in charge  of a principality. A principality is a territory, an area, a place or a group that may range in size  from as large as a nation to as small as a person. When satan assigns a prince a task, the prince is  given the authority to act in the name of satan and use whatever means necessary or available to  him to accomplish his task.  

When we started the tour of the Second Heaven, the angels began by showing me the different  types of demons. Each demon was revealed to me in a form that indicated his area of expertise,  and I soon discovered that there is no such thing as a “general practitioner” in all the demon world.  They have only one area of expertise which they do very well.  

Chapter 8: Demons  

As each type of demon was pointed out to me, I quickly discovered a social order, or rank, that existed among them. Those at the top of that order were revealed in forms similar to humans. As we moved down the order, or rank, I saw demons in shapes or forms that looked like half–animal and half–human. I saw demons in forms resembling animals we know in this present world and I saw demons in forms and shapes so revoltingly morbid that you cannot possibly imagine them. At the very top of the order were the warring demons which were the “cream” of satan’s “crop.” They moved about the Second Heaven and were always traveling in groups, never alone. Wherever they went, all other demons  moved out of their way. These warring demons were revealed to me in human form. They looked  like humans with the exception that they were giants. Appearing to be about eight feet tall, they  were rugged and handsomely constructed, somewhat like giant athletes. All of the warring  demons were colored bronze. They were giant, bronze soldiers. All of the other demons seemed to  be subject to them.  

The second most powerful type demon was also revealed to me in human form and these demons  looked like ordinary people. All of those possessing this area of expertise seemed to group together at about the second place of command. Chief among this group was the demon of greed  and contained within this same group were demons of hate, lust, strife, and a few others.  

The third most powerful type and group of demons were revealed to me in mixed shapes and forms. Some had human form while others had half–human and half–animal forms. Others resembled animals in their forms. These demons possessed skills in the dark arts area such as witchcraft and other related areas. Also among this group were demons of fear and the demons of self–destruction as well as those demons which are expert in mimicking departed human spirits [familiar spirits] and in manifesting themselves to the physical world as ghosts.  

When we got down to the fourth group, or order, all the demons of this rank were revealed in  forms other than human. Some had forms like known animals while others had unknown forms. In  this group were the demons of murder, brutality, sadism, and others related to carnage.  

As we moved even further down the order toward the end of the chain of command, all the  demons were revealed in horrible and morbid forms. Some were so revolting that their appearance  produced nausea. They are so despised by their own companions that they always seem to be lurking off to themselves while in the Second Heaven and even while in this physical world. They  do not associate with the other demons except in the line of their duty.  

There was another group of demons that I was able to see, but I do not recall much of their ability.  It was purposely taken away from me as I was not permitted to learn or retain too much memory  about them. I don’t even know where they rank in order and their form was not revealed to me. I  am not sure of their entire area of expertise, however, I am vaguely aware of their powerful hold  on the flesh. It seems that this mysterious group of demons work differently from all other demons  and are used in only special cases and special situations of which I do not clearly understand. As I  stated, I was not permitted to retain too much in my memory about this particular group of demons.  I was only permitted to retain that portion which I am now reporting to you and this, in itself, is  very vague.  

I’m also aware that these particular demons are harder to deal with than any of the rest. It seems their great strength rests in their ability to remain anonymous in their work in the human being. Among this group is the one that is able to manifest himself as a form of epilepsy in the human. I am not sure but I seem to recall that some other demons in some of the other groups also have the ability to mimic epilepsy. I do not know if demons cause epilepsy, per se, but I do recall very vividly that they can mimic this condition in human beings. At one time during this tour of the Second Heaven, I watched the demons within their own related group and I experienced an awful feeling. It was an overwhelming, oppressive, and morbid feeling. This feeling came to me shortly  after I had entered the Second Heaven and I wondered what was causing it. It was at this time that  I learned that the angel could read my mind because my guardian angel said to me, “That feeling  you are wondering about is caused by the fact that there is no love in this world.” The angel was  telling me that in this Second Heaven there is not one bit of love! Wow! Can you imagine all of  those demons serving a master they don’t love and the master ruling over beings that he doesn’t  love? Worse than that, these companions are working together for an eternity and they do not even  love each other.  

I started reflecting on what our physical world, called the First Heaven, would be like without love.  If God had not introduced His love her in our world, then we would be living in a no–love  atmosphere like the Second Heaven. By God giving us His love, we are able to return that love  and then love one another. Can you imagine what it would be like in your own home or your community it was totally void of love?  

When I was made aware of the fact that no love existed among the demons, I wondered even more  about their motivation and zeal. What makes them work so hard? What makes them carry out  orders so rapidly? They don’t love one another, yet they carry out these orders so quickly and with  such zeal that any military organization on Earth would be proud to have such loyal and obedient  employees. I wonder if their motivation could have anything to do with the judgment and sentence  that awaits them. It seems that since their first rebellion ages ago while in the Third Heaven, they  have reached a place in their existence where they can no longer rebel. Whatever it is that  motivates them seems to excel in their very being while they, in turn, are expressing their fury  upon the flesh. It may just be that the only enjoyment of their entire existence is to create misery  for the flesh. Even though I was permitted to go among them and watch them while they worked,  many things were not explained fully or made clear to me. Some of the things that I saw in entirely,  I was not permitted to retain in my memory. I knew the high order of the demons resented my presence and would have withstood me had I not been under the protection of the Holy Spirit. One of the warring demons came right up to me and leered into my face, but I did not flinch for I was  not afraid. I knew it would not be me with whom he would have to contend but, instead, it would  be He who brought me, the Holy Spirit. The demons in the middle order seemed to totally ignore  me and went about their existence as if I were not there. Those of the lower order seemed to  display slight fear of me or fear of the angel that was escorting me, however, the higher order of  demons had no fear of me or the angel.  

My escort informed me that he wanted me to see a demon in the process of actually possessing a  human being. At this point in the trip, I was escorted back through the dimension wall separating  the Second Heaven from the physical world. When we came back into this world, we were in the  same hospital with my body but in a different room. The room appeared to be an employee’s  lounge. I saw tables, chairs, dishes with food, and in the room were a young man and a young lady  facing each other while laughing and talking. It was obvious that they could not see the angels, yet  I was so close to them I could almost reach out and touch them. I could hear and understand every  word they said. They thought they were alone and as they laughed and talked, they were unaware of the horrible creature standing between them. This demon was so horrible in the appearance of  his shape and form that I recognized him immediately to be from the lower group, the perverted  group. The angels, the demons, and I were in the spirit in that room and were aware of everything  that was happening. Those in the flesh were only aware of themselves for they could not see or  hear us even though we were back in this physical world. Since we were in the spirit, we still  communicated with our minds.  

I was not really paying close attention to the words the two were speaking. My entire attention was focused upon the demon. He was a most horrible looking thing, reminding me of an over–grown, stuffed, slimy, green frog all out of shape and proportion. He moved slowly up into the face of the man then, suddenly, like a puff of smoke, he seemed to disappear into the face, just as if he went through the pores of his skin. When the demon had entered the man, the angels said, “Now it’s done.” The angel then proceeded to tell me how it was that this man was possessed. He stated, “The demon made himself desirable and attractive to the human.” The angel then pointed out to me that mankind has a sovereign will, all his own, beyond which the demons cannot come. He also pointed out to me that the angels could not come beyond that  sovereign will of man. God, Himself, will not violate that will. We are made in the image of God,  therefore, we were given, like God, a sovereign will, the right to choose our destiny. I was not  permitted to retain all that I learned along these lines.  

I faintly recall that there is another process under certain given circumstances whereby demons  may possess or be allowed to enter small children. It seems as though those demons from that  mysterious group are the ones that are allowed to do this. From what I recall about this, it is only  under the most unusual circumstances that this can happen. According to what the angels told me,  over ninety percent of all cases of demon activity in human beings is restricted to those humans  who are at or over the age of accountability.  

During the course of this talk the angel was giving me, he pointed out that all of God’s children  have been given power over all demons and can cast them out, however, this power is based on the  faith of the Christian. It will only work when the Christian knows without a doubt what he is doing.  There are certain Christians who have received a special gift in this area. They are those who have  been called specifically by the Holy Spirit to a deliverance ministry and in almost every case,  those called to a deliverance ministry have also received the gift of discernment. When one is  commanding demons, it is most important to know what spirit one is dealing with. In those rare  cases where children are possessed [not so rare anymore folks… a number of children are  possessed today because of the opened doors to the enemy.], it takes a special effort and divine  insight in each case to deliver them. Such a case was reported in the Bible in Matthew 17:14-21.  All Christians potentially have the ability to command demons. 

My escort told me that they wanted me to see demon activity in the outside world. I was then  escorted outside the hospital directly through the brick wall into the streets of that city. I was  amazed as I watched all the activity of the humans in the physical world. Going about their daily  pursuit, they were completely unaware that they were being stalked by beings from the spirit  world. I was totally flabbergasted as I watched and horrified as I saw the demons in all shapes and  forms as they moved at will among the humans.  

While I learned about demons not being able to work in a person’s life against their will, I also  learned the angels cannot do it either. Each born again Christian has a guardian angel and before  that Christian’s life is over, it might take a whole host of angels to keep him. I learned that  guardian angels fight for us, but they cannot fight in the area of our will. The fighting they do is  sort of like protecting our “blind” side. They oppose the demons when the demons come against us outside the area of our will.  

They cannot oppose the demons when the demons come against us through our own will. Remember, we are made in the image of God, like God, we have a sovereign will. I learned that the demons will fight the angels if they must, but they prefer not to do so. They find that it is easier and safer to destroy us through our own will where the angels are unable to interfere, rather than go outside our will where they would have to fight angels personally. Because of this, the demons have developed great skills in the area of deception. They move through our lives by deceit and trickery and keep us totally unaware of their activity.  

I was made aware of the fact that not all demons are in the Second Heaven. There are some  demons so awesome that they are reserved in chains in Hell, however, satan and his army of  demons are not in Hell, presently. Neither do they want to be there. I was not permitted to look  into Hell, nor was I permitted to view the chained demons. I do know that these demons who are  chained went beyond the limitations of their domain.  

God in His wisdom has allowed satan and his demons certain bounds or limitations within which  they may work. They may not go beyond those limitations established by the Lord, however,  those demons who are chained in Hell did just that. Because they went beyond the restrictions  established by the Lord, they are now chained in Hell.  

The Bible points out this fact in many places, especially in the book of Jude. Any time satan goes  beyond those bounds, he must receive permission from God. In the case of Job, he was granted the  permission, but in Peter’s case he was not granted permission. The demons who work in children  under the age of accountability are allowed to do so only after obtaining this special permission. [I  might add that a “legal” door was opened by certain sin or sins that gave the demon/s a right in the  first place… ] It was not made plain to me what sort of circumstances must be present for God to  grant permission, although it was made clear that in certain circumstances permission is granted. 

However, permission to work in children under the age of accountability is rarely granted. [Look  around since he got this, things have changed folks, satanic doors have been opened… more by  parents.] The majority of the time satan is denied this special permission, but in these last days we  can expect a substantial increase I demonic activity, not only in adults but in children as well. This  increase in demonic activity is what the Lord warned us about in Mark 13:22 when He spoke of  the incredible miracles that false prophets would perform in the last days. It is difficult to  understand why the Lord would allow demons to work through children…  

The demons that are reserved in chains did not obtain permission for their activity which violated  the restrictions established by our Lord. Their illegal deeds are recorded in Genesis 6:2-5. Because  they did not obtain permission, they received immediate punishment. Specific punishment for the  devil and his demons is scheduled for the end–time and is recorded in Revelation 20:1-3. As you  well know, the lake of fire was created for the devil and his demons as their eternal fate.  

In this age we must be on guard for satan’s fiery darts of deception and temptation that are allowed  within the limitations of the Lord’s permissive will. There is a time limit set by the Lord in which  demons may work, but that time period has not yet been fulfilled. As Christians we are able to  have them “bound” under the authority of Jesus, however, this is NOT permanent. We can NOT  cast them into HELL for only God can do this. That is why it is very important for someone who  has just been delivered to be properly instructed to remain in the Lord’s will, lest they become  afflicted again. A Christian CAN cast out demons from a lost person, but unless that person gets  saved and abides in the Lord’s will, there will be the possibility of the demons returning. [See  Matthew 12:43-45].  

Demons are real, individual, spirit beings and they are the ones manipulating all the evil in the  world today. This was shown to me while I was in the spirit world traveling through the street of a  city and watching in horror as the demons went about their task of corrupting humans.  

Although humans are spirit beings, we are confined to physical bodies. The great spiritual warfare  that rages today is between the “spirit of man” and the “spiritual forces” of evil directed by satan  which are contending for control and manipulation of our fleshly, physical bodies. Our spirits  fight by faith and through our sovereign will; while the devil and his [fallen] angels fight through  deceit, cunning, trickery, and temptation. You must make no mistake about this war or the  weapons involved because the scriptures are plain. I actually saw these demons contend for  control of that human body.  

It may seem to you that mankind is vastly over–powered by these spirits because these spirits are  able to see and hear everything we think, say, and do; while we are totally unable to perceive any  of their activities. It is very difficult to fight an enemy you cannot see, hear, and feel, but as long as  you trust the Lord, you have nothing to fear. At times, even the strongest Christian may doubt their  existence and activities, thus making it easier for them. However, man was not left defenseless.  Being made in the image of God, man, like God, has a sovereign will and no spirit can violate that  will without the permission of the person himself. Because of this, these demons have developed great skills in deception. The basic principle of their operations is to make something evil as desirable, beautiful, and non–threatening as possible so that the person being tempted will lower  his guard and accept whatever it is that is being used to cause SIN. Once someone is deceived, it  becomes easier for the deception to remain. In the case of possession, it becomes easier for the  demon to maintain his control.  

Another great defense man has is the guardian angel. The guardian angel is not assigned to all mankind, but only to those who are “saved and belong to God.” Remember, just like the demons the guardian angel cannot violate the will of any man which is why most of his activity is reserved to protecting that individual outside his sovereign will. Man’s greatest weapon, however, is the Word of God. In his description of the weapons  

used in our spiritual warfare, Paul insists the Word of God [Ephesians 6:11-18] as the only  offensive weapon mankind has. Although vastly outnumbered by these beings [thousands to one  individual], man is adequately prepared for battle. Because of a sovereign will, guardian angels,  and the Word of God, man has superior defense and is much more potent in the battle for his soul  than the demons.  

Therefore, I say to everyone — if you are serious in your commitment to fight this war and win,  fear not! Your commander–in–chief, teacher, healer and sustainer — the Holy Spirit — will  NEVER leave you NOR forsake you.  

Chapter 9: The Way Home 

When the angels decided that I had seen enough of the demons at work in this physical world, I was taken back into the Second Heaven just by passing through the dividing, dimension wall. Once back inside the Second Heaven, my escort guided me in the direction of the Third Heaven and I was happy at last. After all, this was where I had wanted to go all the time. Even at this stage, my physical life was still my primary concern.  

Suddenly we came to a most beautiful place. I know that I’ve already reported how terrible that the Second Heaven was, so you can imagine how surprising it was to find anything beautiful over there. God would not allow me to retain the memory of why this place was so beautiful. I do  remember that it was the most beautiful place I’d ever seen. This place looked like a tunnel, a roadway, a valley or some sort of highway. It had a most brilliant light all its own and was  completely surrounded with an invisible shield. I knew that the invisible shield was the protection  of the Holy Spirit.  

Walking in this tunnel, or along that roadway, or valley, or whatever, was what appeared to be  human beings. I asked my escort who they were. He told me, “They are saints going home.” These  were the departed spirits of Christians who had died on Earth and they were going home. Each of  these saints was accompanied by at least one guardian angel and some had a whole host of angels  with them. I wondered why some saints were accompanied by only one angel and others had  many. I was watching as the saints passed through the way that all saints must take to go home.  Here it was, the passageway from Earth to the Third Heaven. I found that only “authorized” spirits  were allowed in that tunnel. No demon was permitted there.  

When my escort had finished explaining to me about the homeward trip of the saints. I started into  the tunnel. The angel stopped me and told me that we had to travel alongside the tunnel and not  inside of it. I traveled, therefore parallel with but outside the tunnel where the saints were. While  we were traveling alongside the tunnel, we did not move at the “speed of thought.” Instead, we  traveled as it floating on a cloud. In other words, there was no cloud but the mode of traveling felt  as if I were floating on a cloud.  

I could see the saints at all times moving along inside the tunnel. They were in the form and shape  of humans, yet I could not detect any race, age, or sex. They were all clothed alike with the  garments appearing to be made up of two pieces. There was a blouse or shirt and a pair of slacks.  The color of the garments was a pastel, baby blue with one of the garment pieces being a shade  lighter than the other piece. The blue was so light that it was almost white. I realize that these  saints I was viewing had not yet received their glorified body because that must wait until the first  resurrection.  

At first I was disappointed that I was not permitted to travel in the tunnel with the saints, but the  disappointment was eased when I was told that we were going to the same place they were going.  After all, I knew that if my physical life was going to be extended, I would have to appear before  God. Even now, my physical life was still the uppermost thing to me.  

As we traveled along, I noticed all around me that the demons were beginning to drop behind. The  Gates came into view and the closer we got to those Gates, the farther behind fell the demons.  When we arrived before the Gates there were no demons in view. Although the Gates of the Third  Heaven opened out into the Second Heaven, no demon could come close.  

Instead of allowing me to enter, the angel stationed me before the Gates, slightly to one side. He  instructed me to stay there and watch as the saints were permitted to enter into Heaven. As the  saints were allowed into Heaven, I noticed a strange thing. They were permitted to enter only one  at a time. No two were permitted to enter those Gates at the same time. I wondered about this but  it was never explained to me. I’ve studied about this often since I have returned and now I think I  know why. I believe this is a tribute or a salute to the individual. After all, that individual made the choice with his own sovereign will. Remember, it had been pointed out to me specifically that we,  as images of the Living God, possess a sovereign will through which we have the right to choose  our own destiny.  

As the saints were being admitted, I was wondering why I was not being allowed to do what I  came to do. I was so impatient to get my request before God that I missed the whole point of what  I saw. This point was so important that the Holy Spirit told me Himself. I watched the fifty saints  enter Heaven, but the point I missed was the time frame involved. It was explained to me that at the same time those fifty saints died on Earth, 1,950 other humans also died; or only 50 out of  2000 made it into Heaven. That other 1,950 were not there. Where were they? That was only 2 ½  percent going to Heaven! Ninety seven point five percent did not make it! Is that representative of  the entire world today? If so, 97 ½ percent of the population of this world today is not ready to  meet God. The sad part, my friend, is that it is exactly representative of this Laodicean Church  Age in which we live today. We are now in the time when the great majority of church goers are  only “mouth–professors” and not “heart–possessors.”  

At the outset, I stated that I would not try to convince anyone of anything I said. However, I would  like to offer as evidence the parable of the sower as told by Jesus in the thirteenth chapter of the  book of Matthew. If you read this chapter closely, you will notice that three out of every four  people who heard the gospel preached, turned it down. That is seventy–five percent anyway you  look at it. I am talking about three out of every four people who bothered to hear the gospel, turned  it down! The sad part about this is the overwhelming majority of the people that did turn the  gospel down, do not know that they have turned it down! They have bought a lie of satan and have  been deceived. They have been led to believe something that is not the truth and they been fooled  by satan into rejecting the gospel! Place the seventy–five percent who turned down the gospel  with those in the world who made no pretense of hearing the truth and you have the overwhelming  ninety seven and one-half percent of the population today!  

As I contemplate this fact. I now understand the Lord’s disgust with the Laodicean–type Church.  I also clearly understand the verses of scripture in Matthew 7:22-23 that describes how many  people will stand before the Throne at the Judgment pleading. “Lord, Lord, have we not  prophesied in thy Name? And in thy Name cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful  works?” only to have the Lord say to them, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work  iniquity…”  

Chapter 10: The Rude Awakening 

My escort told me to stand to one side of the Gates and present my case. He assured me that God  would hear and answer my request. As I stood before the Gates, the sense of joy, happiness, and  contentment radiated out from Heaven. I could feel the warmth it produced and as I stood there to  plead my case. I could feel the awesome power of God. No being could possibly appear before  Him, even separated by a gate as I was, without experiencing this awesome power, might and 

majesty. At first I had a sense of fear, sort of guilty feeling that is always produced in me when I  believe I have imposed on others. In my mind’s eye I could just visualize a busy God who was  annoyed with me for taking Him away from important things. Then, just as suddenly as this  feeling came, it passed. I then found strength or boldness in my belief that I had served my God  faithfully for many years. To me, I was convinced that this request of mine would be a snap!  

Boldly I came before the throne and started out by reminding God what a great life of love,  worship, and sacrifice I had lived for Him. I told Him of all the works I had done reminding Him  that I was now in trouble and only He could help by granting me an extension on my physical life.  God was totally silent while I spoke. When I had completed my request, I heard the real, audible  voice of God as He answered me.  

The voice I heard was not like the sweet voice that satan had used to trick me before in the valley.  You could put together the noise of all the storms, volcanoes, tornadoes, and hurricanes and they  could in no way imitate what I heard. The sound of His voice was in no way like the sweet voice I  talked about earlier. The sound of His voice came down on me from over the Gates even before  the words hit me. The tone of His anger knocked me on my face as God proceeded to tell me just  what kind of life I had really lived. He told me what He really thought of me and even other people  who lived as I did. He pointed out that my faith was DEAD, that my works were NOT  ACCEPTABLE, and that I had labored in VAIN. He told me that it was an abomination for me to  live such a life and then dare call it a life of worship. Furthermore, He said to those who do it, they  are in danger of experiencing His everlasting wrath. As God dealt with me, He displayed His  wrath to me. Notice, it was not His everlasting wrath. He did say there are some who will experience His everlasting wrath.  

I could not believe He was talking to me in this manner! I had served Him for years! I thought I  had lived a life pleasing to Him! As He was enumerating my wrongs, I was sure He had me  confused with someone else. There was no strength left in me to even move, let alone protest, yet  I was panicking within myself. No way He could be talking about me! All of these years I thought  I was doing those works for God! Now He was telling me that what I did, I did for myself. Even as  I preached and testified about the saving grace of Jesus Christ, I was doing that only for myself in  order that my conscience might be soothed. In essence, my first love and first works were for  myself. After MY needs and wants were met or satisfied, in order to soothe my conscience I  would set out to do the Lord’s work. This made my priorities out of order and unacceptable.  Actually, I had become my own false God.  

He makes it plain in His teachings that He is a jealous God and will have no other gods before Him;  flesh, stone, blood, or whatever. He will have no other gods before Him. God told me that He  would not accept this kind of worship in the day of the Pharisees and He certainly was not about to  accept it now in this the Laodicean Church Age. He put it to me as plain as words and actions  could make it. In order for our works to be acceptable, we must work according to His command  in Matthew 6:33 which empathically states, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His  righteousness; and all these other things shall be added to you.” As God told me about my true motives, the verse of scripture in Matthew 16:24-26 and Luke 14:26-33 became so clear to me. In  Matthew 16 it states, “Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him  DENY himself and take up his cross, and follow me, for whosoever shall save his life shall lose  it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” In Luke 14 beginning with verse 26  it is stated, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,  and brethren, and sisters, yea, and HIS OWN life also, he cannot be my disciple. And  whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you,  intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have  sufficient to finish it?” In verse 23 of this same chapter Jesus makes the following statement  which is the cornerstone of the two portions of scripture previously stated: “So likewise,  whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not ALL that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”  

Only now as I was here before Him being chastised did those two portions of scripture become  crystal clear to me as to their true meaning. As God told me about my TRUE MOTIVES, I could  see plainly for the first time how MY WORKS were DEAD. Because God was displaying His  wrath toward me, I could not stand nor could I speak. No strength was left within me as I was  nothing more than a wet rag lying there writhing in agony. It indeed, was fortunate for me that this  was not God’s everlasting wrath, only temporary wrath. However, at this time I did not know this  was only temporary.  

It needs to be stated that at no time while God was chastising me did He say I was not saved nor  did He say that my name was not in the Lamb’s Book of Life. He never mentioned salvation to me  at all but only spoke about the works produced through my life. He told me the type of life I lived  was an unacceptable life for a true Christian. As He spoke to me of my dead works, he indicated  that there are some people who are not saved but think they are. These people will experience His  everlasting wrath. He also made it plain to me that there are others of His children who will find  themselves in my present condition on Judgment Day. This revealed to me the true meaning of 1  Corinthians 3:15 which states, “If any man’s works shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he  himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”  

There are no words that can describe the pain I endured as God’s wrath was upon me for this life  of so–called service. The agony was beyond the scope of the imagination and the remorse that I  felt produced a very heavy burden similar to a physical weight pinning me down or an enormous  stone crushing me. Growing weaker and weaker, my mind was frantically racing in an effort to  grasp what the Lord was telling me while recalling each actual incident. God leaves no room for  error and that includes whatever is in our minds.  

The surprise was so overwhelming in its magnitude that it rendered me senseless. My strength left  me immediately, just as though I had been hit by a bolt of lightning. Even if God would have  ceased and allowed me to speak on word of protest, I would not have been able to do so. I had  absolutely no strength whatsoever to utter anything. In my mind I was constantly DENYING the  wrong in my life while acknowledging the fact that I had committed them. My conscience was  asleep but my mind was NOT. 

Slowly, it all began to be absorbed by me. Remember how the Bible tells us to have no other gods  before us? I had thought that the Most High God was the only God of my life, but I was not  fulfilling that part of scripture which tells us that if we allow anything to come between us and the  Lord, (whatever it may be) it becomes our “God.” I realized that each day of my life was devoted  only to MYSELF! My whole life I was preoccupied with MY needs FIRST and THEN I was  concerned with what the Lord wanted. The money to help the church, the poor, or anything else  was secondary because I was my OWN “god.” Naturally, the devil was contented with allowing  me to remain in that condition because as long as I was in that condition, I was of no use to the  Lord and His kingdom.  

I allowed this to occur because I was really indifferent to the things of the Lord. It was too  uncomfortable to change and I was convinced I could remain as I was without having to really DO  anything (such as following the Lord’s commandment about DENYING myself and picking up  my cross daily to follow HIM.) For this reason, my life was wasted and amounted to absolutely  nothing in the Lord’s eyes.  

I hope that you understand what it is that I am saying because it is the whole point of this chapter.  The fact is we must prove we are really Christians by first examining our motives behind each  deed in our lives, and then repenting and recommitting ourselves to follow the Lord daily. When  we decide to serve Him FIRST, this decision must be followed by ACTION or it will be as useless  as if we did not decide to do so in the first place.  

Chapter 11: My Real Father  

When God was through with me the interview was over as suddenly as one would turn off a faucet.  I was not allowed to linger or even reflect on what God said. The angels immediately carried me  away as if I were as wet rag having no strength in myself. Totally annihilated, I could not even  gather my thoughts.  

The angels carried me back through the Second Heaven, through the dimension wall, and into the  hospital room where my body was lying. It was not until I reached the bed upon which my body  lay did I regain my composure. As I regained my composure, I vehemently protested, “No! No!” I  told the angels, “God did not answer me! He did not say yes or no to my request! Please, oh please,  take me back!” I pleaded with the angels.  

God is a God of order and He never does anything haphazardly. Since all of this entire experience  had been planned by God, the angels complied with my request to take me back. God was dealing  with me gently and tenderly through His great LOVE knowing what was necessary for me to  experience in order for me to have the scales fall off my eyes.  

During the time God was displaying His wrath toward me, I thought this wrath was terrible and  painful. I found out later that it was nothing compared to the pain the lost will experience when  they receive His everlasting wrath. 

While in route back to the Third Heaven, I was beside myself trying to come up with a logical  reason or legitimate basis on which to plead my case. God had already told me that my life had  been a failure, therefore, I could not offer my past life as evidence of my intentions to serve Him.  Somehow or another, the thought of Hezekiah came to my mind. When God sent word for him to  put his house in order, he cried and prayed and God heard him. God extended his life for fifteen  years. I remembered from my studies about him that Hezekiah was the “good–old–boy” type,  similar to me. I remembered how he had good intentions in his heart but how he had trouble  translating out those intentions into everyday living. Since this seemed to be the same kind of  trouble I had in my life, I concluded that God dealt with Hezekiah based on the intentions of his  heart. Because of this assumption, I concluded this reasoning would be the basis of my plea.  

Upon my arrival back before the third heaven, I was brought to the same place from which I had  previously pleaded my case. Not nearly so bold this time, I remembered how God's wrath had  floored me beforehand. Nevertheless, I had asked God for a favor and God had not answered.  Wanting his answer no matter what it was, I timidly started pleading my case again.  

This time God did not knock me down but let me talk. God did not talk to me in anger but started  out answering me in a tone of pity. Before it was all over, God was speaking in sorrow.  

Opening my plea by quoting scriptures to God, I began by telling him all about Hezekiah. I told  God that I figured out that Hezekiah was the "good-old-boy" type, that the intentions of his heart  were pure, but he seemed to be unable to translate out those intentions into everyday living. Here  I was, an insignificant nothing and the smallest creature in all his universe, bartering words with  this great and awesome God who had created it all.  

I said, "Father, if You will grant this request, I promise you I will do better the next time."  

The Lord answered me thusly, "Howard Pittman, you have promised before." God did not have to  say another word. There they were, all the promises I had made to a holy God in my past entire life.  Not one of them remained whole. Somehow, someway, I had managed to break them all. With  nothing left to say, no words in all my vocabulary, nowhere to go, I fell on my knees before him.  All I could say was "Amen" to my own condemnation. I knew that if at that moment God would  banish me into the pits of hell, it would be just to say "amen" to my own condemnation.  

At that moment God did not demand justice but showed me mercy. The scales fell from my eyes  and my soul was suddenly filled with light. That powerful, awesome, all-consuming God was now  not evident. There on that throne dealing with me was my REAL Father. God was no longer a  distant God, but a real, genuine Father. The realization of his being my true Father and my best  friend came to me for the first time in my life. The wonderful relationship I had enjoyed with my  physical father and the wonderful love we shared for each other was suddenly brought to mind yet  magnified a thousand fold. For now I was with my real Father, the one who loved me so much that  God left all of his creation to deal with me, the prodigal son. 

For the first time in my life, I saw in my mind's eye who God really is. For the first time I met God  as God truly is, my real Father, my very best friend. As the realization of who God is flooded my  soul, great and painful sorrow also came. Sorrow came when I realized that through disobedience  I had hurt my Father. This realization and sorrow produced actual pain which was not just a guilt  feeling but actual pain similar to what one would experience in the flesh when one sustains a  physical injury. At this point in time, God started dealing with me in sorrow and no longer did the  tone of his voice express pity. Instead, the sound was of genuine sorrow. I suddenly realized that  God was hurting too. God was hurting because I was hurting. Being a true and just God as God is,  God had to allow me to suffer the pain and God could not lift it from me. Although God had to  allow me to suffer the pain, God would not allow me to suffer it alone. God the most High, the  most Supreme, the Creator of all, the Father of all would not let me suffer alone.  

By this time I suddenly realized that my physical life was not so important after all. What I was really concerned about now was what my Father wanted. His will had suddenly become the first thing of my life and my physical life was no longer important. This is when God gave me back my physical life. Only when I reached a place that my life did not mean anything to me, did God give it back to me. Now that the prodigal son had returned, the Father could talk at last. God could tell me what my trip to heaven was all about and that God had a message God wanted me to tell people on earth.  

Chapter 12: Wake Up!  

I now repeat for you point by point the entire five point message that God gave me to deliver to this world today: 

• Point Number 1: For those who call themselves Christians, this is the Laodicean Church Age in which we live. A high majority of so-called Christians are, in fact, living a deceived life. They talk Jesus and play church, but do not live it. They claim to be Christians and then live like the devil. They have bought the great lie from satan who tells them that they are alright. He tells them that it is alright to go to church on Sunday and attend mid-week services but as far as the rest of the time is concerned, they are to get all they can out of life. As far as their Christian life is concerned, they  believe they are comfortable and have need of nothing and as a result, they are only lukewarm  Christians if Christians at all.  
• Point Number 2: satan is a personal devil.  
• Point Number 3: To the whole world, this is Noah's second day. As it was in the days of Noah, so  shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man. Humans took no thought of what Noah was  saying nor did humans believe that anything was about to change. Humanity could see the storm clouds over the horizon, but yet did not believe the rain was imminent. Notice the close parallel  today. Humanity can see all the signs of the last days, yet humanity does not believe that anything  will change. He does not believe in the impending coming of our Lord and he does not prepare to  meet God."  
• Point Number 4: For those who claim to be Christians, they are supposed to be ambassadors for  Christ here on earth. One cannot have any true witness or power in his life unless that one lives his  Christian faith at all times, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. To be a true Christian one  must live it, not just talk it. To honor God with your lips and not your heart is not acceptable.  Those who accept the responsibility of teaching, preaching, or any leadership role have much for  which to answer.  
• Point Number 5: God is now in the process of recruiting an army with which God will shake this  old world one more time. By working through his soldiers, God will produce great miracles that  will shake the established hierarchy of the so-called organized religion that is in this world today.  These soldiers that God is now recruiting will demonstrate the power of God to a greater extent  than did the disciples in the Pentecostal age. Now the recruitment has begun in earnest because  God is about to perform the great miracles through his army that God promised us God would do  in the Bible. John the Baptist brought the spirit of Elijah into this world and he did not even know  he had it. John denied it, but Jesus confessed that it was so. The purpose of that spirit was to make  straight the paths of the coming of the Lord.  

"The Alpha and Omega, the Cause of all the universe's existence was hurting because a mere  Earth child was hurting. Oh, what Love! What Understanding! It was so far beyond anything a  mere Earthling can understand. Oh how precious just one, little, insignificant Earth child is to that  Great God" – Howard Pittman 

Thiago Owerton New Earth

This testimony describes a vision where the multitudes were judged according to their works. A man who outwardly lived a religious life was condemned because his heart was in the world, he did not repent of sin, failed to love his family, and neglected winning souls. Another young man, blessed with wealth, rejected Christ repeatedly, choosing drugs, alcohol, and worldly pleasures over God’s love and his parents’ faith. Despite being given many chances, he refused salvation and was cast into the eternal fire. The witness saw the terror, sorrow, and finality of God’s judgment upon those who rejected Him, yet also the glory and holiness of the Lord. In the end, Jesus touched the witness, restored his memory, and commissioned him to testify of all these things as a warning and a call for others to embrace His love and salvation.

I Saw the New Earth and New Heaven, The Great White Throne Judgment 

Revelation of the rapture of the church, the Lamb supper in the New Jerusalem. The revelation you hear was given to Brother Thiago Owerton by Jesus Himself on the Third of May 2014 so that the world would wake up about what is to come. Jesus is coming back On that Sunday night, I was on my knees around my bed asking for forgiveness for my mistakes, thanking God for everything. Then I slept.

I remember that night I was very cold and it was raining a lot. Then I had fallen asleep around two in the morning. It was around four in the morning, I knew it because I saw the clock in the kitchen indicating the time. I do not know how to explain what followed. Suddenly someone burst into my room and he woke me up. I did not feel my body which was laying on the bed. I realized that I was awake and not in the body but rather in the spirit. Then a supernatural force took me to the hill next to my house.

And when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was on the hill and it was day, but I did not understand what was happening on the hill. There was still fog on top of the hill and the city was still sleeping. I hardly heard noises, only the wind blowing and the birds singing. I suddenly heard soft music with their sounds almost like a flute. It shifted my whole body. I looked up from the city to the sky and I saw a being of light in the form of an angel. He was descending from Heaven as if he was floating and hovering over. I was just curious to know who was that brilliant and resplendent being who was coming towards me. I was still watching him approaching close to me. He was floating without touching the ground. He wore a white robe, his face shone brightly like the sun but I noticed an impressive radiance and glow on his face and my eyes could look at him without getting hurt. His countenance was a great light.

THE ANGEL SPEAKS

Then he looked at me and smiled at me. His voice was the most beautiful that I've ever heard in my entire life. It was sweet. At the moment he told me, “You invoked the Lord who searches the heart. He sent me to show you things that are hidden and things that people never imagined.” The moment he touched me, I was transported thousands of kilometers away. In seconds, I was taken to many places of the Earth. And in seconds, from there, I have seen incredible things that have changed my life forever.

The Angel of the Lord took my hand and we quickly flew out together towards the center of the planet Earth to a country called Croatia. He took me to a street where I was seeing a procession. I saw that there were many people worshiping idols there. I realized at that moment that people were passing in front of me. They did not see me. I was with the angel observing people from a window. They could not see us. I was not only accompanied by the angel, I was also accompanied by my wife and my son Michael who today is four years old, but in the vision, he appears to be seven years of age. I realized that in this vision we were in the future time. We were observing the future from a window. There was also a child that had white hair smooth with curly ends.

The angel instructed the 11-year boy and my son to step out of the window in the physical reality and evangelize. He said to them, “Chosen Ones, go to the midst of the people and evangelize.” They both came out in the middle of the procession and began to preach the Word of God. But people seemed to bother with the presence of little Michael, who was talking about the love of Jesus and trying to deliver the brochures to all the people that were there. I saw people pushing him and trying to assault my child who was so small and helpless. The Spirit of God did not let that happen. My son returned to the spiritual window where I was and he was sad with tears. He looked at me for comfort and he shook the head as if he was trying to tell me, “Dad, I could not evangelize. They did not want to hear the words of salvation. They did not want to understand the love of Jesus in their lives.”

Then the angel smiled at him and took the leaflets from his hand and caressed his head. Then he looked at me and said, “Take the leaflets Son of Man, go to the crowd and evangelize.” Immediately I was overwhelmed by a strong desire to speak of the love of Jesus to all without fear. I went out of the window where I started to speak up in a loud voice, “Jesus is coming back, Jesus is coming back. He is the hope of the world. Repent and accept Him as the Savior of your lives.” But nobody wanted to hear that. Many of the people were heading in my direction to attack me.

REJECTION AND PERSECUTION

They said, “Arrest this Christian. He deserves to die. We do not want your Jesus because we have our gods.” At that moment, I saw the crowd coming into my direction to kill me. I was very scared and when I closed my eyes, I felt my body flying as fast as the speed of light. When I opened my eyes again, I was inside the spiritual window with the angel who smiled at me. My wife, my son and my little girl, were looking out from the window. I saw Croatia no more. We were somewhere else in another country in a square full of people and there was a party. At that moment, I realized that we were in France. We tried to evangelize. But the beautiful people called me crazy and the crowd screamed, “Kill this Christian. And let's see if Jesus that he preaches will save him. Because we don't need to be saved from anything. We are well.” Then all these people began to run in my direction with great fury to kill me. I once again felt the power of the Spirit of God pulling me into the spiritual window and took me to another place.

When I opened my eyes, I was in another place. I remember that the climate was hot. The day was clear without clouds in the sky. I knew I was in the Middle East. When I looked in front of me there was a multitude of bodies on the ground and I was in the midst of all those bodies. The bodies were mutilated, and I saw decapitated heads. Charred bodies were rotting with very strong smell. I knew that all these bodies belong to Christians, people who have been killed because they have proclaimed the Word of God. When I turned to look, I saw war. I saw people killing each other with machine guns and all kinds of weapons. I went into the middle of the war and saw that those who fought were Jews and Muslims and other peoples as well.

So I began to shout aloud the Gospel of the Lord Jesus, but no one cared. Then I saw men running in my direction to kill me. Suddenly, I was taken back by the Spirit to my city. I was in a small church near my house. I was preaching God's Word to all those people that were there. I remember screaming loudly to everyone to repent of their sins because Jesus is coming back. People here were saved but they were carnal. They did not humble themselves to repent. I shouted to them to repent or they will be sentenced to eternal death. But they were accustomed to hearing the Word of God so they did not pay attention. They hardened their hearts.

Many of them didn't respect the house of the Lord. They were chewing gum while others gossiped. They talked to each other and others were laughing and mocking me in their heart. I did not care about that. I shouted louder so that they should repent. I shouted, “Jesus is coming back!” but they did not hear. They were there only with their bodies, but their minds were far from the Lord.

IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD

In that moment, I began to feel a strong presence of God. My heart was beating fast, and I started to shake while I was still preaching. Suddenly, I saw a strong light entering the gate of the church. A couple sitting in the crowd saw it as well. Together, we began to contemplate that light. No one else could see the light except the three of us. Inside the light, I saw a white cloud heading in my direction. At that moment, I was sure that Jesus had returned to take the chosen ones to eternal life. I started to cry and I shouted to the people with all my strength, “Jesus has returned. Repent for the love of God. Repent from your sin.”

With a sad heart, I saw that crowd bursting into laughter and mocking me. Then I fell on my knees crying out to God for all these people listening to me. At that moment I also saw the cry of the Lord and the couple who were standing in the crowd. And then came a voice from Heaven like the sound of thunder. It was heard throughout the whole planet. The voice said, “The end is here.” At that moment the Earth stopped turning, the time stopped and a great earthquake happened. Then all the wicked and sinners fell to the ground with much violence.

I began to hear people in the church calling the name of the Lord. They shouted to the Lord out loud for forgiveness, saying there were sorry, but it was too late. For this reason, you also must be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him. The cloud of light in this church took two babies and also the couple that stood up. We began to float within the church. People got scared when they saw this. At that moment, I felt my body becoming light as if there was a force pulling me in the air in a horizontal trajectory out of the church.

THE AFTERMATH

At that moment, despair took over all the people that were left there in the church. I saw young adults, couples, and parents in and out of the church in all places in despair because they understood that we were going up. Then several people clung to my legs with their hands, saying, “I want to go. Take me with you. I played with Jesus, please forgive me.” I began to pray because all of them were on me. As a result, they were no longer able to bear the power of God. A force dragged me outside the church and pulled me up. When I looked down, I saw many that were left behind. They were in full agony and despair. I realized that many were coming up beside me everywhere, but they were far fewer than those who are left behind, maybe 1000 times less than those who were behind.

What I witnessed was scary. I saw people running from one side to another in total confusion. The crowd was crying out for forgiveness, but there was no hope. I still cried for all the lost souls. When I was rising in the clouds, a ray of light emerged and touched my forehead. As a result, I receive a new name that was in that ray of light. I do not know what was written. But when I was touched by this ray of light, I felt the power of God passing through my body. Suddenly my garments were changed and I acquired a garment that was whiter than snow. And I noticed that I was wearing sandals on my feet that were golden. From my forehead was flowing a glowing light that went down throughout all my body like rain until it reaches the soles of my feet.

At that moment, I acquired the ability to fly in that very moment the same ray of light entered in my eyes. As a result I was given the gift of the eye of an eagle. I could fly wherever I wanted to fly. The Bible says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings of eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31) I thought I was two meters away, but I noticed that I was already above the clouds. I noticed on my left my son and my wife. I know some of my people were there, but most did not make it. There were people from all parts of the Earth. I was seeing people of various races, languages, colors, and cultures. So I looked down to Portugal again, I saw a church that was in total despair because the shepherd could not be caught in the rapture. He could not fly. I also saw people who never had entered an evangelical church but were rising too and I did not understand.

THE ANGEL'S WORDS

The Angel of the Lord approached me and said, “Remember, the mysteries and the plans of God are not to be understood, but they are to be accepted because He is the Master. The world has given itself to religions. According to your choices, you will receive your reward.” At that moment I saw radiant and resplendent angels of Heaven. They were standing around the opening above the Earth's atmosphere, and they were sounding the trumpets. As a result, a light descended from Heaven and from within the light was a rider and knight who appeared in the light. He was riding a white horse and He was in His golden armor. I saw that it was written on His thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Then He raised His sword and said, “Everything is finished on the Earth. I'm the Morning Star.”

At that moment I saw Michael, the Prince of the Lord’s Armies on the Earth who spoke in an unknown language that I never heard on Earth, but everyone understood his voice. In that tower, all the hills of the Earth fell and there was a great earthquake. I was facing the light of the Lord and my eyes ached. When he spoke, his explosive and thunderous voice was powerful in the ears of all saints who were floating there above the Earth. It was also possible to hear people shouting down on the Earth. They could not bear to look at the light that was the Son of God Himself, whose explosive voice was also heard on the face of the Earth. The wicked could not bear to hear the powerful voice that was so strong.

Then I saw behind the Lord objects in queer shapes that looked like spaceships but were not made from a material of the Earth or known to man. The carriages were made of pure power. The celestial chariots of light were made of flames of fire that were adorned with sheer glory and light. They were thousands of thousands of them. Then the supernatural force of the Lord settled a million saints into the carriages of the Celestial chariots of light and fire. Once the angels sealed the doors of the chariots of fire, we started our trip to the eternal kingdom of Heaven. I remember that I saw the sun stopped shining, the moon turned red as blood. We then traveled in a blink of an eye at an incredible speed that it is impossible to describe.

Suddenly, we surged into a place similar to a planet that seems 10 times or perhaps 20 times the mass of the Earth. We were beholding a world of glorious light before us. I saw that there was no sun and no moon. There existed no night and no stars shone in the light of day. It was incredible and extraordinary. So we all stood before a huge gate of pearl. The pearly gate there was an immense garden with green grass and many fruits. Then a radiant Angel approached and said, “Enter into the joy of Your Master.”

THE PEARLY GATE

And everyone started going through this gate. I saw everyone entering the gate of the city. When it got to my turn something surprising happened. When passing through the gate, I felt like I was floating and I noticed that my body was transformed. The body that was perishable is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown in a natural body but it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body there is also a spiritual body. I no longer had the body of flesh. I no longer had a carnal skin since my skin became transparent light as a spirit of diamond color. I looked at my hands and I saw that I could see through them. I realized that red blood was no longer flowing in my veins. Instead, there was light and lightning raging strong in my system.

There was electricity in this immortal body. The light that was flowing in my glorified body was golden as if it was fire. I realized that we were the same as Jesus Christ Himself. The Bible said, we will be like him. 1John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. One difference is that His brilliance and radiance was stronger. The wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

I looked at all the saints that were there. I realized that I knew the name of each one of them. Moreover, I saw that it was no longer possible to see their faces because of the brightness that they had. But I knew who was who. We were entering this celestial garden, then we saw before us in the middle of the garden, a huge and infinite table that went forever. I saw golden chairs aligned to this unending table, then a banquet appeared on the same table. The taste of the smell of that food is impossible to describe. There is nothing like that on the Earth smelling so tasty. And everybody took a seat in order to be served the meal. We all sat and dined. Nobody was left standing and no one was left without seat and food. Blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

THE SEVEN YEARS BANQUET

I noticed that Jesus was not in one location, but He was everywhere at the same time. I have seen Him in three places at the same time. There was a lot of joy and a lot of party and fun. This festivity and banquet did not stop. It was a seven years party. Many will come from east and west and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. I noticed that during this seven years period, the Christians were continually eating and drinking. No one became fat yet the saints were eating and enjoying continually. Many of the things that I saw during the seven years of banquet were beyond men’s imagination. I saw glittering and radiant precious stones that do not exist on the Earth. I saw living and vibrant colors that were beyond understanding. While the banquet continued for seven years, we did not realize the time elapsing on Earth.

Actually our memories of the Earth were removed. They had been taken away by God. The Mighty Lord was sitting on the Throne and that was the source of light that illuminated everything. He was the Light lighting the whole celestial kingdom. So after seven years of the banquet of the Lamb, the angel of the North, of the South, of the East and of the West stood before God's Throne. They showed themselves before the Almighty Who reigns forever, who is the Light of all the existence, the Master of all that exists. He is the Lord that the saints have not yet contemplated nor the face of the Creator that had been worshiped by the saints yet.

Than the angels blew the trumpets in a loud voice before the Mighty One who reigns eternally, the One who is the light of all existence, the Master of everything that exists. As a result, in all the Heaven the saints, the cherubim and angels all prostrated themselves before the Creator and they pressed their faces to the ground and worshiped Him. Then the Throne of God moved closer to the people, then He spoke in a huge voice, “Now all things are subjected to My Son.” Everybody worshiped Him, the saints of Heaven and the angels said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, the whole universe is full of Your glory.”

Then I saw emerging from behind the throne, a huge city that was being created by God Himself. It descended from God toward the saints and the angels of the Lord. I do not know how to describe its full size or width. But there never was and never there will be a city like that. It was made of gold. There was a river of crystal glass and streets of gold. The houses were made of precious stones. Its walls impenetrable as they were very high.

THE HOLY CITY DESCENDING

The Angel of the Lord came down and led us to the gate of a city. We entered into the holy city that the Lord Almighty prepared for us. The angels led us to the city and I flew over it. When everyone was there in the holy city, admiring I saw the throne of God descending in the middle of the city. He left the transparent dome like glass that sealed the whole city through the walls and filled all its extension and its space. At that moment, the order was given by the Lord to descend to the Earth. We were inside the holy city that was descending. We were heading back to Earth. I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. (Revelation 21:3)”

THE RENEWAL OF CREATION

And when we got to the solar system, I looked up and I saw that the sun did not really shine, the stars disappeared. The sea no longer existed and there was no water anywhere. The ground was empty, but there was still a man who was lying on the Earth. The holy city and the glory of God began to enter the Earth. I was amazed to see the brightness of the city of glory. The man who was lying in the middle, he lifted up his head and stood and shook his body and his arms. At that moment the ashes that were around him fell and he turned into a cherubim of immense wings.

Then the holy city landed on the Earth right in the center of the ancient Jerusalem, and the dome kept the city open. The throne of the Lord and the Lamb were over the entrance. The Lamb was sitting next to the Creator, and an immense crystal ramp came down from the Throne to touch the Earth. And then at the end of the ramp was a light. Then I saw God standing from the throne.

I was on the side of the Lord's throne, I saw something spectacular. A breath came out of God and spread throughout the Earth. As a result, I saw the redemption of the Earth, the air and the sea. I saw the sea rising again. Then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth, for the first Heaven and Earth had passed away and the sea was no more.

Romans 8:18-21 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who has subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

In a blink of an eye, God restored the Earth. I saw that the Earth and all that was in it, all the sin and Satan and his demons were destroyed together in the Lake of Fire. They disappeared forever from the whole universe and the Lord rebuilt the sky and the Earth and the land. There was a rock of grass green with trees and crystal clear waters. All animals were good. In this age, there was only one city and in the middle of the city, there was a river of crystal clear water, and the tree of life that gave 12 fruits per year.

In this city in the new Earth and new Heaven I realized that I was very smart. I had superior knowledge. I knew physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, geology, astronomy. It was as if a part of me that awakened, a part of us that died in the Adamic sin was restored. I was no longer hungry and had no need to sleep. I could travel to wherever I wanted with the power of thought. I could move to any part of the Earth in the speed of thought.

Then I saw Jesus sitting next to a source of water and playing with children. I approached Him. When He saw me He hugged me. I looked into His flaming eyes and told Him that I had a request to make. He looked at me in the eye and smiled. I said, “You gave me so many revelations. You granted me to see God, and so many other extraordinary things that I have experienced, but I still have a dream. I know the beautiful things that God created far from here on Earth. I read one day in Your words that all that God created would be revealed to men. I wish I can see the mystery of God that is yet to be revealed that is hidden.”

Jesus was not willing to reveal more mystery. Then a breath came out of the mouth of God. As a result, I saw the reconstruction of the bodies of all those who had died without Jesus. I saw the dust of the Earth and water. I saw visceral arteries be reconstructed, bones were refitted, then blood in their veins and organs, hair and skin, and the breath of God blew inside the nostrils of the dead, and they came back to life the same way they had died with all the consciousness and conscience of their past lives as if they were awakened from a deep sleep.

THE JUDGMENT BEFORE THE THRONE

And I saw the dead great and small, standing before the Throne. And there were open books and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds as recorded in the books. I saw a being of light among the crowd of the dead. It was Satan and his demons who were to be judged before the Throne of God and angels. I saw angels with huge books, and I heard a voice coming from the Throne of God and that voice called the first person. The man was in a suit and carried something in his hands that looked like a Bible and he stepped to the Lord’s Throne and adored Him. When he raised his head, I saw terror in him. God had not yet said anything, but the sins of that man began to torment him right there in front of the Creator. Then I saw Satan looking at him.

The man started to scream, “Lord, I am the pastor, I did Your will. I won souls for Your kingdom. I built temples for Your name and made sacrifices. I walked all my life according to Your word, but I am here being judged by You, instead of being rewarded with Your heavenly joy and glory.” Then I saw God give a sign to the angel. Then the angel brought a huge book and touched the book. The book opened and the angel said, “Here is your story where your most hidden secrets are written.” The man was filled with fear and despair.

The angel said to this pastor, “What you just said is true. However, later in your walk with God, your heart changed. It was corrupted for money. You introduced doctrines in the church that were not within the Word of God because you lived many lives. You are stealing the tithes and offerings of the house of the Lord for your own benefit for greed. Money that can be spent on God’s house, you spent it on your carnal desire. You ended up in fornication and drinking. Your wife inside the house waited for forgiveness and reconciliation but you never asked her. Today the Creator has tried you according to your works.”

Then I saw on the side, a river of fire that seemed like volcanic lava. It stretched across the land. The angel of the Lord took the man and cast him to the abyss of the river of fire and he was consumed.

Then I saw on the side, a river of fire that seemed like volcanic lava. It stretched across the land. The angel of the Lord took the man and cast him to the abyss of the river of fire and he was consumed. Afterward, the voice that came out of the Throne of God called another man, and I saw someone coming out from within the crowd on the ramp. And when arriving before God, he prostrated. Another angel was called. The angel stepped forward and the book was opened. In that book was written the whole history of that young man who began to speak desperately with tears in the eyes almost without a voice.

THE YOUNG MAN’S PLEA

He said, “Sir, I acknowledge that You are God. I've lived my whole life believing in You. I attended church service every week to worship. I always prayed in the church. I was evangelizing. I did what Your words told me. But why am I being judged by You? Why am I not in the holy city and Your heavenly joy?”

Then God gave a signal to the angel who started reading the book and he said, “You often worshiped God who blesses you. You read the Scriptures daily, but your heart was in the world but not the Scriptures. You were praying to God but you did not regret your sins. You performed your services in Church but you did not win souls for God. You despised your own family. You did not love your family and your children because your friends were more important. One of them is the love of money. It is written, love one another as the Lord loves you. You forgot about the true essence of God that is love. So you are being tried in the court of divine justice with truth and wisdom.”

At that moment fire came down from Heaven and consumed the young man right there and he was thrown into the fire.

Then I saw a young man of about 17 to 18 years old who came to the ramp. He was well dressed and came forward and prostrated. Then he raised his head and beheld the glory of God. At that moment he was filled with fear and started crying desperately. So once again, God called another angel who came with a book in his hand and which was written the life of that boy who said nothing. But I saw the terror in his eyes. He was terrified.

The angel started to read a book and said, “You were blessed since you were born and you were raised in a rich family where you lacked nothing. You always had available drink and food. You had all the wealth of the Earth. You had an issue of loving your neighbor. Your parents prepared everything they had for you. But when your parents heard about the death of the Creator, they accepted Him in their hearts, hoping that you will join them, but you rebelled against them. You hardened your heart when the Lord was calling you. Is it not true that you preferred drugs? Alcohol and prostitution dominated you. You preferred that lifestyle over the Lord and the love of God.

Your parents who were obedient though they had everything loved you and had affection for you. Later in your life a believer offered you an invitation to accept Jesus Christ in your life. However you thought nothing else matters, except to have fun, partying with friends. You did not care about your family and God.

One day a last chance of salvation came in your life. On that day the Lord Jesus Christ made you the last invitation through your own parents. But you said, “I do not need this Jesus Christ. I do not need this God of yours.” Despite the fact that time after time you fell victim of your own drug poison, Jesus Christ brought you back to life, the same Jesus that you refused and denied. Now you are being tried in God’s tribunal where there is no forgiveness to those who rejected His name.”

At that moment I saw God standing up and He looked at the young man and ordered his punishment. And the angels took him and cast him in the lake of eternal fire to be tormented for all his sins.

THE MULTITUDE JUDGED

The multitudes who were there before God knelt and adored Him. It was hard for me to see all this judgment especially of seeing all those people who had the chance and opportunity of God's love. The multitude of people that were before God were all judged according to their works.

I do not know how long that trial lasted. Later on, we traveled towards my city and landed at the same place on top of the hill. I saw the whole city from above and stayed confused at that moment. I did not understand what was happening. Then he touched my forehead and my memories came back. My head remembered everything I had seen and felt. I wanted to go back. I wanted to stay there with Him in that wonderful place forever. I wanted to be with my Lord forever.

Jesus said, “I chose you to be a witness of all these things I've shown you.” But I wanted to stay there with Jesus.
