"WOW!" Ralph Meets Jesus And Embraces Him During His NDE (Part 1)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Ralph Jensen, a father of nine children living in Utah, suffered a severe heart attack at home on February 13, 2004. He woke up at 3:04 a.m. with chest pain, called 911, and went into cardiac arrest. During the first arrest, he left his body and floated near it. He saw through walls, observed his wife screaming on the phone, and noticed two escorts in white standing at his bed's foot—one was Jesus Christ. He felt absolute love and peace. He asked to return to his family and received permission through telepathic communication. A priesthood blessing pulled him back into his body, where pain returned. Paramedics took him to the hospital. There, during a second cardiac arrest, he entered an empty waiting room and met his deceased first wife and parents, who looked young. They told him he had permission to live but was in their way; he needed to return for work related to the Second Coming. He hugged them, then approached Jesus, recognized him via the Holy Ghost, and hugged him. Jesus asked, 'Where is your heart?' Ralph reviewed his entire life instantly and felt unworthy. With Jesus, he witnessed the pre-existence, earth's creation, Adam and Eve in the garden, interactions with Old Testament prophets, Jesus' birth, and his life events. After the NDE, Ralph gained a deeper personal knowledge of Jesus Christ. His faith, already strong, received more detail and verification. He continued raising his blended family of 12 children and 35 grandchildren with a renewed sense of purpose.
