I posted this "believe or not" article in News/Activism because the "vision" of Avraham Yosef speaks to the current political and military problems of Israel.

This article is published in the Magazine Section of the Jerusalem Post today and should get wide readership in Israel.

That has to be the most boring NDE I've ever read. Figures it'd come from the son of a rabbi. It's basically the warning over Soddom and Gomorrah all over again for Israel.

This struck me as a undermining the while enterprise, though:

"the Arab nations will conquer Israel for a period of nine months to a year, after which God will perform a miracle and free us from their oppression, willing us to repent and reform"

If God wills us to repent and reform, why is he threatening Israel unless they repent and reform? Just wave the magic wand, already, and stop blaming people for what you can do yourself. Oy!

NDE's experiences seem to be universal. In every case, someone who has had one had their entire personality transformed and they lost all their fear of death and a greater zest for living. Its as if God told them: "you will be taken care of and be safe with Me when your time comes but now is not your time and you still have things to do in this world til then."

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

War with Islam is hardly prophetic.

PEACE with Islam, now that would be something pretty amazing.

"voltage was increased to 1000 watts"

Watt are they talking about?

This message for Israel is Deuteronomy 30:15 exactly. I believe it very well may be a prophetic word. No where did I see a call to abandon the Torah but rather a call back to God's Word.

the voltage was increased to 1000 watts

Statement makes no sense. Voltage is not measured in Watts, and the "charge" is usually referred to in both voltage (measured in Volts or kiloVolts) and the total energy delievered, in Joules.

"When I died, my soul went up," he states calmly from his home in Jerusalem. "There was a room I was standing in, and in front of me was an open door. Everything was white, but not white like the walls, a pure white, a white that we don't have here in this world. "The doors in front of me opened and I saw a spectacular sight: In front of me was a man sitting on a high chair, two men sat on either side of him, and on either side of me were six other men. They looked like regular people, but were wearing this pure white, with pure white beards and white hair. They had no wrinkles or blemishes on their faces and their eyes were glowing, as if there was fire or light emanating from them. They were all beautiful."

Gosh, when it happened to me, I lost all sense of time for the duration, didn't see any bright lights, and woke up as ornery as ever when it was over.

I feel slighted...

But then again it only took 2 shots of the defibrillator to bring me back. ; )
