Zone1 Time and the afterlife?

[DennisPTate]

Time appears very different to those who have a brush with death.

A seven minute near death experience can seem like two billion years to the one experiencing a glimpse of the higher dimensions.

Our lives on earth tend to leave us with what I believe is a distorted view of Time.

2. Time After Death​

After death when we enter the spirit realm, it feels as though we were there just a moment ago. Our time on earth seems like only a brief instance. Time in the spirit realm does not exist. By getting rid of the illusion of time from our minds, we have the power to expand our consciousness. We will realize that we are already living in timelessness right now. This means a person can remain in heaven for eternity if they desire before deciding whether to return for another earth life. In the spirit realm, if we desire, we can travel instantaneously from the beginning of earth history to the end. We have the power to grow forever. We are powerful spiritual beings.

3. Time as Experienced by Those Having an NDE​

NDErs consistently report that time – as we measure it in seconds and years – falls away at the threshold of death. What replaces it isn’t emptiness but a richer order: events arriving all at once, life reviews that unfold “outside” duration, and a knowing that stretches “forward and backward” through existence. In this view, death is less an ending than a rebirth into a wider life where past, present, and future coexist, and where awareness moves with astonishing speed – sometimes described as instantaneous.

Near death experiencer Robert Marshall also reports seeing the crucifixion of Jesus during his near death experience.

Christ says to Don Brubaker, “Don, do you want to stay or go back?”

“I want to go back,” I answered immediately, knowing I made the right choice.

Jesus smiles. “You have chosen well. Go. I am with you,” Jesus says gently.

Everything changes again, as if someone has turned a page in a book. I see myself in the midst of a huge crowd. It’s not a modern crowd. They are dressed in the clothes of Bible times. I look down at myself.

The crowd seems to be jeering at me. Why? Then I see more: I help a man, someone who has been brutally whipped and abused. The crowd is upset because I am offering assistance. But the beaten man has eyes that burn with love and compassion.

How could anyone want to hurt this man? I lift the man off of the dusty road to his feet.

The man turns, and from somewhere he lifts a huge wooden cross to his back. The man begins moving toward a hill. The hill is called Golgotha. With each new moment, I realize more and more clearly what I am seeing. These people are going to crucify Christ.

I follow, stunned, I watch in horror as Jesus is nailed to the cross, the spikes pounded through his wrists and the sensitive insteps of his feet. I watch helpless as the cross is propped up and dropped into position with an ugly thud. I cover my face with my hands.

If only others could see what I’ve seen. The world would get on its knees … The world would be at peace. (Don Brubaker)

Many near death experiencers report being able to view all of history and pre-history during their brush with death. All mysteries are understood then.

We will all one day experience the real thing. I hope it is as promised.

I think that the Life Review that near death experiencers report is The Judgment that is predicted in scripture.

I was then shown what I can describe today as my life review – everything that I had experienced in my life as a human up until that point – what I now believe to be what the Bible speaks of as Judgment Day. It is not the brim and fire that seems scary in the Bible, but that of an experience of you judging you. The reliving of all your choices, love, hate, anger, infliction on others. The difference is that, in those moments that you created pain for others, you relive it as if you were inside them. You feel what it was like to feel the pain from their eyes.

I was then given what seemed like a time of reflection on the events of my life – some time to decide which choice to make. I was then told that I was being given the choice to stay or to be given a second chance to complete my purpose. I was told that my purpose was a big mission.

Of course people who come back from a near death experiencer will have another judgment after they live out the rest of their lives to complete their mission in life.

Those cities of light that near death experiencers report sure do remind me of the last couple of chapters of the Book of Revelation.

2. The City of Light​

Fifty of the NDEs I profile on this website which I gathered statistics on, 17% of them experienced a city of light. This City of Light has been described by various experiencers using such adjectives as: golden, beautiful, unearthly, fairy tale-like, indescribable, beyond anything that can be described, so superior to anything on Earth, colorful, brilliant, heavenly, endless, crystalline, grand, paradise, and galaxy-like. These cities of light are said by experiencers to represent an entire world, made of light and love, radiate with multi-colored lights, with transcendental music, filled with light beings, made of glass, built of the purest light, multi-dimensional, built by God, whose light of the city is God, the city of God, resembling New Jerusalem, the heavenly city in the Book of Revelation. Within the city of lights, experiencers have seen glowing crystal cathedrals, domes, towers like European castles, and houses like never seen on Earth.

A golden city with towers and domes: “Just a little ways off I could see a bridge with someone standing on it. Beyond the bridge, I saw a golden city with towers like European castles. The whole city seemed to be shining with light that shot up into the sky like a giant searchlight. I could see that some of the domes of the city were red, others were gold, and a few were blue. The gates and walls of the city seemed to be made of bright blue, red, and violet lights.” (Randy Gehling)

Yes!

Why would Messiah Jesus - Yeshua and the Ancient of Days the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit predict that THIS EARTH is going to be the place where the new heaven and new earth is set up?

The "new heaven and new earth" in the Bible signifies the final, restored state of creation, where God permanently dwells with humanity after the old order passes away. Described primarily in Revelation 21–22 and Isaiah 65:17 & 66:22, this new reality features no more death, pain, or sin. It is a physical restoration of the universe where God makes "everything new".

Key Biblical References

• Revelation 21:1-5 (NIV): John sees a new heaven and a new earth, with the Holy City, New Jerusalem, descending from heaven, symbolizing God's dwelling place among people.
• Isaiah 65:17 & 66:22: God promises to create new heavens and a new earth, where the former things will not be remembered.
• 2 Peter 3:13: Mentions looking forward to this new creation "in which righteousness dwells".

Characteristics of the New Heaven and New Earth

• No More Curse: Sin is totally eradicated, and the curse of death, pain, and crying is removed.
• Physical and Eternal Dwelling: It is portrayed as a physical, renewed world—a "new Jerusalem"—where believers dwell with God.
• No Temple/Sun Needed: God's glory and the Lamb provide light, rendering a physical temple or sun unnecessary.
• Restoration: It is not merely an ethereal, floating heaven but a restoration of the earth, akin to the original, perfect creation

Interpretation

• Literal/Physical: Many interpret this as the actual transformation of the physical universe into a perfect state.
• Symbolic/Spiritual: Others view this, especially in Revelation, as symbolic of the new church age, the New Covenant, or a non-physical, spiritual realm.
