HIS STORY=
Shocking testimony of a man who literally came back from the other world. What he saw, what he heard describe how what happened to him 27 years ago
You may have heard of posthumous experiences, but descriptions of those who returned with detail, vivacity, and persuasiveness are rare. Certainly, for me that of the Apostle is different and if you do not have time to sit down to listen to him and all the questions they ask him, read what I got.
In short, Apostolos was a merchant navy officer and the 27-year-old suffered a very serious accident on the ship he was serving. He fell from a height of 10 meters in the hold of the ship and literally broke his head. All the teeth were broken, multiple fractures and with complete deformity, he went to the hospital where at the beginning they had him completely written off since they thought that he must have made a hematoma in the brain. After the axial, the doctors did not call him Apostle, but Lazarus because it was unbelievable that he had not made any hematoma internally. Most unbelievable, however, is not the miracle that he remained alive after the fall, but what he lived through for about ten minutes until he regained consciousness in the hold of the ship, the time when, according to him, he was already dead. But he experienced time in a completely different state, either at breakneck speed or passing very slowly. However, because he was trying to understand if what he was experiencing was a fantasy, a dream, or a reality that was happening to him, he tells us two points that made him even more believable in the experience he lived.
At first at some point in his funeral, he had returned home because he wanted to see his family for the last time before leaving the earth completely for his journey to the other world. He was sorry he would leave them like that. There, because he doubted that he was really at home, he put in his mind a mark, the sun coming in through the window and the trace he left on the table at a very specific point. This very specific mark that only he knew and for the first time he thought to put then he noticed it again when he returned home from the hospital alive and well.
The second sign was Divine, Christ allowed him to be welcomed in paradise by his brother Argyris, whom he himself when he was alive, did not even know that there was never a second brother who was between him and his other brother who lived in the world. us. And yet when he went there he immediately understood him as if he had known him for years, without explanation, without anything. The shocking thing is that when he came back to his life he remembered this incident and asked his mother about Argyris. She then had to reveal to him that she had indeed lost a child and had never told them about it. How many of us know that the mother who brought us into the world had other children who did not see the light of this world? These children, today as I write these words live in the bosom of God and will live close to him forever.
What I kept from this completely true story for me personally. For everything I write to you, there are testimonies from Saints in the Orthodox Church that confirm the words of the Apostle. First of all, the exit from the material body is done for the great relief of the one who leaves this life. He does not cease to have the feeling of a spiritual body, of another type of body with which he participates in the new reality, with the new data in the posthumous state. The Apostle typically says that this body he had then was a good thing, because we are used to it, we have learned to live our whole life in one body. And in fact, he met people in paradise and talked to them, who all had such bodies and were the same age. And he felt very nice there, he was resting because everyone was in a big family. Everyone knew each other and could communicate with each other.
The opposite happened in the hellish situation where some other souls were, the Apostle knew some of history, for example, Napoleon as he answered a question asked at the meeting of Pope Costas. He saw them screaming and suffering horribly, torturing themselves, not communicating with anyone. Did he even say characteristically when asked when he was most afraid of that damn situation? Answer that there you feel greater fear when you are not close to God, this is hell. He even said that he knew prayers to be saved.
In the hellish situation, he was in, he realized something else that he could not easily go through some customs because of his selfishness. And in another question, he was given a very apt, theological definition of egoism. He said, we have selfishness when we do our own will and not that of God speaking in our soul. Eventually to escape from that situation he invoked the Virgin Mary, who not only took him from there but took him to taste paradise and mediated before the throne of her Son to return to our world. He makes frequent references to the Virgin Mary as the widest of the heavens, but also to the myriads of angels who sing the Trisagion hymn.
The Apostle is with us today, he has doubled his years since he had this terrible experience and he asks all of us his brothers to pray for him. In fact, he said that for about a year since the accident had happened, or rather the posthumous experience, the thought that he had imagined it kept running through his mind. Even though he did not want to sin and even disgusted his face like a baby when the TV showed something obscene without making much effort or realizing what was happening.
I will close with this, wait his turn to stand before the throne of Christ on a huge white marble stage and listen to yells, cheering, as if a goal had been scored, for everyone who entered there. But when he entered, nothing was heard.
So may God claim the Apostle the second time he goes to the next Life to hear the praise and may the Virgin Mary, the Saints, and the Angels intercede for us so that we can reach victorious before the throne of Christ and not concede a goal. end of our lives.
