The Story
Richard, a man from Edinburgh visiting his parents in London before Easter, had this near-death experience while trying to nap on a Saturday morning after a week of poor sleep. He felt pulled toward a dark, rusty planet that was hell. He saw volcanic mountains with black figures waving arms, lava consuming them. Closer, he viewed a black lake of fire lit by lava, winged demons flying, and heard screams of millions in agony. He landed on a rocky island, faced horrible creatures, lava worms crushing his chest, and scorpions stinging his legs. He declared his love for God and fought to escape. After waking feeling lifeless, he shared with his mother and pastor Anne. That evening, during a salvation prayer, a demon manifested, but he completed it and felt saved. Afterward, Richard accepted Christ as Savior, experienced spiritual growth, turned his life around, and now shares his testimony to warn others about hell and urge acceptance of Jesus.
