"My mother has a huge, oversized picture of the Divine Mercy in her home," said Kim. "Every time he walks in front of it, he bows his head in respect. Many times I have seen him praying before it and once I saw him kissing it. One day we are sitting in the living room talking about his accident. I tell him how very lucky he is to have survived; he looks toward the picture of Divine Mercy and says, 'It’s Him. It’s because of Him.'

For non-Catholics, the Divine Mercy is a portrait of Jesus commissioned by a sainted Polish nun.

It portrays Jesus robed in white standing with his right hand in a gesture of blessing and his left hand upon his heart, from which is issuing a reddish ray symbolizing the blood and a bluish ray symbolizing the water that gushed from his side when it was pierced by the centurion.

Beautiful stories. Believers know that they need not fear death, as it is only the beginning.

My friend’s old boss had a near death experience. He said he was given a choice to go on or go back, but these were the trials he would face (they came true). He chose to go back. He said he lives a much better life now than he did before that.

My friend also read a book about 1500 near death experiences. ALL of them were the same with seeing the light. Sometimes it grows and the whole place is filled with love and peace, but for others it shuts off, and the people say they feel sick, alone, and like their body is on fire before they are called back.

Do not go toward the light. It’s a trap!

I suppose it’s axiomatic that, in the same way rebels want to be priests, they’ll want to have their own “beckoning light experiences,” which is probably why every apocolyptic novel book makes it a hallmark of the Great Deception.
