In a captivating YouTube video, a Romanian man recounts his extraordinary experience of visiting both heaven and hell. He describes seeing “a magnificent gate that perfectly reflected his own body” and realizing “the body decays in the ground while the soul receives a new form.” Guided by angels, he felt weightless in heaven and experienced indescribable joy.
He was shown a record of his wrongdoings but was told, “a place in heaven had been prepared for him and his loved ones.” Encountering his deceased parents, he was advised by the angels to let his father rest. His mother witnessed his spiritual rebirth. The man noted that both Jesus and the angels wore “immaculate white clothing, with hair as white as snow,” without wings, their appearance emanating “a radiant brightness.”
In hell, he saw a tunnel of flames and countless souls pleading for help. A colossal figure of God assured him, “all his sins, as vast as the sands of the sea, were forgiven through the blood of His beloved son, Jesus.” Awakening in a morgue, his wife, expecting to prepare for his funеrаI, was astonished to see him alive.
This story serves as a reminder that salvation and redemption are always possible, encouraging everyone to embrace salvation before the grace period ends.
