CAUGHT UP TO THE SECOND AND THIRD HEAVENS ! For the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal - 2 Cor. 4:18 Sam Henson was an Oklahoma farmer. In August 1937 he had appendicitis. Three days after the operation he was burning up with fever and hurting all over. He had a premonition he was going to die. He prayed that he'd be allowed to finish raising his family. When the 7 p.m. nurse (a Christian lady) came on duty, as she was coming into his room the Lord spoke to her and said "I want you to take good care of this man, he's Mine" so she stayed with him all night long. It was when she first came into the room that he felt himself slipping away. He said he was there in no time, he was taken to Paradise. The next morning just after the 7 a.m. nurse had come on duty, is when he knew he came back into his body. He had spent those 12 hours in Heaven. He said the hospital records then (1937) showed he was dead that long. This is a true story & account of my grandfather's out of the body experience he had back in August 1937. (They didn't call it near death experience back then). He was dead for 12 hours while he was taken to Paradise which he said is the Second Heaven. Jesus told him his prayer was answered, and He told him that he had to go back. While he was there he saw Paradise and the place called Hell. After seeing Paradise, he didn't want to come back any time soon. Then Jesus told him again "You have to go back." Then He said, "Come and see." Instantly he was caught up to the Third Heaven where God's throne is, high and lifted up; He took him back in time and began showing him a Vision of the entire history of the Universe. He took him back before there were any stars or angels, and showed him the Universe being created. He saw the things in the Bible "happening." Beginning with Genesis right on through to the end, seeing the things in the book of Revelation happen. He was shown things as far ahead as 5,000 years into the future pertaining to God's Creation. Contained in this book: * The Vision of the entire history of the Universe * A Look at Paradise and the Holy City and the New Earth * Scenes of hell and the lake of fire St. John was taken to the Third Heaven in the spirit back when he was shown a Vision (Rev. 21:10; 9:17 etc). The Apostle Paul mentions vision(s) in 2 Cor.12:1-2, and in the first verse uses the word "revelation" the same way it is used in Rev. 1:1. What Sam Henson saw is best explained as "unsearchable things past finding out" (Job 5:9; 9:10). My grandfather described in detail everything the Lord showed him, to my father some fifty years ago. Sam Henson died 40 years later, in August 1977, almost to the day. Continuing on the work that my father began about 30 years ago which was compiled from Sam Henson's own descriptive words, I am publishing this book including several drawings made by my father, along with Biblical and Scientific evidence that I have found. The website is inseparable from the book because the research work is unending. I created the website (primarily) with those in mind who have already read the book; but it is available for all to view.
