I just held his hand tightly, trying not to drop down to the ground.

After flying for a while, he said, “Now, we are going through Hades.” Until that time, I thought Hades would be under the ground. I felt odd because my common sense conflicted with what Jesus said.

Then, suddenly it became very dark. It was so dark that I could not see anything. He told me again to hold his hand tight. We seemed to be moving very fast. But dark hands were coming in and out to catch me. It was such a frightening moment. I kept silent, holding Jesus’ hand tightly, putting my faith in him.

After a while, suddenly it became very bright. I could not open my eyes. You may have had the same experience. When you enter into a bright place from the dark, you might be unable to open your eyes for a moment. It was the same as that.

I kept silent with my eyes closed. Then somebody told me, “Open your eyes.” So I opened my eyes slowly. When I looked down, the floor was smooth and shiny. I was sitting down. I heard, “Show me your face,” and then I saw God’s

throne about 30 meters in front of me. It was amazingly luxurious scene.

In the scene, a voice came from the middle of the throne. I felt there was someone, but I could not see him. I saw a flame that was moving like a flame coming from a melting furnace. I could see only the lower half of his body. I could not even see the throne because of the flame.

Then I saw somebody standing near the throne. It was Jesus Christ. He had a very polite attitude toward God. He was on the right hand side of me. He began to say to God, “This is the Overcomer whom I chose.” Then a voice came from the throne. “Your name is Lee Youngsoo, right?” I replied, “Yes, my LORD.” Then he continued, “Listen carefully to what I am saying.” He began to talk to me.

It reminded me of the scene in the Bible in which God asked Solomon, “What do you want?” Solomon said, “I inherited many things from David, my father. I have many people and much wealth. So I do not need any more. Please give me the wisdom to manage all my things well.” While thinking of the story of Solomon in the Bible, I recognized that the throne was for God. So I wanted to see him if possible.
