MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.
THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE
I’ve just returned from eleven days in Ireland, traveling from Dublin to Belfast and all sites in-between. The trip had many dimensions, including talking with the locals, visiting historic sites that stretched back to 10,000 B.C., and spending time at shrines like the Apparition of Mary at a little church in Knock. I continue to explore these mysteries and miracles that happen with Protestants, Roman Catholics, Jews, and even people who did not believe until they had an experience that opened their eyes to eternity.
I continue to be amazed by these divine encounters that I can never fully understand or explain. Nevertheless, I am confounded by how frequently they occur. Even in these times of doubt and secular scorn, they happen everywhere. Here’s an example.
The Jerusalem Post reported Jewish Shiv Grewal was eating in a restaurant with his wife Alison near their south-east London residence when he suffered a cardiac arrest. By the time paramedics arrived, it appeared his heart had stopped beating. Shiv said, “I knew somehow that I was dying.” For seven minutes Shiv Grewal was dead.
Grewal details how he felt profoundly detached from his physical body as if he occupied an ethereal void. Suddenly he recounted experiencing emotions and sensations without the constraints of a human form. Grewal likened this sensation to weightless swimming in the water and recalled, “I felt like I walked over the moon and could see meteorites and the whole space.”
Interestingly enough in Moreland and Haberman’s Immortality: The Other Side of Death, they found very similar descriptions from most persons who had near-death experiences. Over half describe an unworldly or heavenly realm. More than half met deceased relatives or angelic beings. Many people found it difficult to describe what they experienced. One person said, “There are no human words that even come close.” These authors noted that often there is a difference between what people report and how they later interpret it. However, when the authors dug into what people were saying, they discovered what they encountered was consistent with what Scripture reports is to come.
Gives you something to ponder. Yes! Maybe, just maybe, the best is yet to be.
Remember. Miracles never cease.
