An Interesting NDE - Remember Natan and Rabbi Levy?

I'm not fundamentally opposed to NDE's although there are some things about this I find difficult.  The first is at about 6:30, where Natan is being judged by Rabbis who are weighing his good and bad deeds.  That doesn't fit very well with our conception of being examined by the Lord as to whether we have saving faith or not.  It is in line with Jewish ideas of keeping the Law.

Much of what he says about perception in the afterlife is in accordance with other reports: Instantly downloaded information, a sense of time being irrelvant, and other features.  But he also speaks of being in the Garden of Eden and Gehenna, which is hell.

He does not point to Yeshua as the Messiah.(28:27) but he says he is coming within months of September 2015.

Obama is Gog?  That really doesn't make sense to me.

I haven't finished the whole video.  From what I've seen, he is advocating a strictly legalistic Judaic conception of the future.

I like the young man; I just don't see his experience as valid.  Really, I do not know where it came from.  The same could be said for lots of other NDE visions, I suppose.

I saw this comment on a website that was discussing Natan NDE ... here is a possibility as to why that he referenced Obama as “Gog”

From Michal on July 21, 2019

“September 11, 2015 was the last day Congress could have intervened to stop the nuclear deal with Iran. Now, 3.5 years later, we have Iran openly violating the agreement and provoking a war. The nuclear bomb launched at Israel will come from Iran. (Gog is a spiritual entity…which can influence/enter humans. Maybe Obama was a temporary tool of Gog or maybe he will show on the scene again?”

- Fair Use -

I wouldn't be surprised if Obama were still the / a human representative of the prince Gog.  If we get to go soon I'd expect Obama will be a player trying to finish the Israeli people, and particularly Benjamin Netanyahu.  Yes it's confusing, but I still hate to throw out babies with bathwater.  Natan was quite clear / unwavering.  That doesn't create truth, but it makes me at least go "hmmmm..."

My biggest problem with NDE’s is that none of the many books I’ve read ever mention being in the Presence of Christ. 2Co 5:8 suggests that when we are absent from the body, we are in the presence of the Lord. While it can be argued that there may be some time in between, which I do not agree with, Paul goes on in 2 Co 12:2-4 to convince me even further that those books or accounts are not legitimate.

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

2Co 12:3  And I know that such a person—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows—

2Co 12:4  was caught up into Paradise and heard things that are not to be told, that no mortal is permitted to repeat.

Also, in 1 Co 2:9 he writes:

1 Co 2:9 However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" -- the things God has prepared for those who love him--  NIV

NDE’s are very popular to read and hear about and many books have been written about then. None of the descriptions I’ve ever read exceeded what my feeble mind can comprehend. One woman, who claims to have been to Heaven and back numerous times writes of roller coasters and movie theaters in Heaven. What a silly notion. She certainly doesn’t mind that she is stuck in this realm after being in Heaven so it must not be that much better there, according to her. Am I jaded concerning this subject. Absolutely! I want to know what the experience of Heaven is like as much as the next Christian. To me, being in Heaven is being in the presence of the Lord. Whatever else is waiting for me is of little concern.
I know, I know. I’m the “Debbie downer” on this topic. :wacko:
