Lately, YouTube has been pushing Christianity videos, which I find to be a little odd, because these aren't the kind of videos that YouTube usually forces people to try to watch - it's usually the latest music videos from flavor-of-the-month artists, trailers of the next upcoming movies, the latest content from big partner channels, review videos, what have you . . . so, it's a little odd that YouTube would suddenly be pushing videos about people's testimonies about God, Heaven, ****, what have you, so I guess perhaps the Lord is somehow working in the hearts and souls of YouTube teamsters, I don't know.
Anyway, I ended up watching a vlog from a guy named Raymond (no, not that Raymond), who says that Jesus frequently shares visions with him - of both Heaven and ****. Now, I don't know if this guy is for real or not: there's a lot of people out there who will claim things like this (after all, Sarah Palin claims that God Himself told America to go to war with the Middle East after 9-11, and that God Himself was urging America to go to war with Russia for declaring war on Georgia); he seems sincere - you can tell he gets giddy when talking about visions of Heaven, and rather emotional when talking about visions of ****.
Now, as I said, I don't know for certain if this guy is for real or not, but I don't think it's uncommon for the Lord to share visions with us at all, and in fact, it's been a number of years, but He shared a vision with me once: you guys remember way back in the summer of 2008, a spirit had attached itself to me kept paying me nightly visits for a while? I finally saw in a vision who my spirit visitor was: a little boy, no more than five or six years old. So, it could be very certain that this Raymond guy is telling the truth about visions he's been seeing.
So, there's a couple of videos of his that have garnered a particular amount of attention that are kind of intriguing, and they are the visions he's had of certain celebrities that have passed on, which ones are in Heaven, and which ones are in **** . . . and some of the stuff he shares are quite mindboggling. For starters, just to name a few of the celebrities he's seen in **** include:
- Robin Williams: he says Robin Williams is on a stage, in front of an audience of nothing but demons, all of which are tormenting and mocking him, demanding he tell them jokes that made him such a funnyman on earth, but he can't, because he's too petrified (he even suggests Robin believes he's in a nightmare he can't wake up from).
- Michael Jackson: he says M.J. is still doing all those dances and singing all those songs that made him one of the biggest legends in music history, only now his singing and dancing induce pain rather than entertainment, describing it as if you were listening to him on the radio, but feeling pain all over your body as you listen.
- Philip Seymour Hoffman: he says he see Philip Seymour Hoffman on the ground, almost totally buried in a pile of feces, with a completely blank look on his face that shows just what a broken man he had become. He said Jesus showed him a vision of Hoffman just after he died, telling him, "he is not with me," and showing him Hoffman gnashing his teeth.
- Elvis: this one surprised me (after all, when not singing rock-n-roll, he sang gospel music, and even requested people not to call him "The King," as only God the Father is the one true King), but he said he saw Elvis in a hellish museum, perpetually frozen in his trademark pose, his lavish clothing now tattered and torn like rags, and his body is nothing more than a skeleton, but his eyes are still intact and keep darting all over the place.
- he's also claimed to have seen Heath Ledger and Notorious B.I.G. in **** also.
Then there are some of the celebrities he claims he's seen in Heaven:
- Richard Pryor and Patrice O'Neal: now, Richard Pryor was a little before my time, but I was a big fan of Patrice O'Neal on those V-H1 celebrity commentary shows; he says that both Pryor and O'Neal are up there, doing what they did best on earth - being funny guys, still telling jokes, still cracking up.
- James Avery: yep, accordingly, Uncle Phil made it to Heaven too.
- Bruce Lee: like Richard Pryor and Patrice O'Neal, he said Bruce Lee is in Heaven, still doing what he did best - martial arts; he even said that Jesus told him playfully, "I like his moves."
- Paul Walker: I guess Bible studies aren't just for Christians on earth, because he said he saw Paul Walker carrying a number of books around with him, studying the Bible.
- Albert Einstein: even he was surprised to see Albert Einstein in Heaven, but he did, and he said he still has that goofy little mustache of his.
- he also noted how "good" these people looked in Heaven, like better than they looked when they were on earth.
Of course, he made it a point to mention that even he is not entirely sure about the accuracy of these visions he's had, and sometimes even questions if he actually saw he believes he saw (apparently seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman in **** twice was at least one confirmation for him), and like I said, there are people out there who claim they can see things like this and whatnot, but I do know that there are people out there who do genuinely experience visions like this, and have seen people and loved ones visit them long after they were gone (my aunt says she's seen her grandmother once after she had died, and I'm pretty sure Tommie visited me one night years ago). Either way, his vlog was certainly intriguing.
