What to make of a little girl who says she had a vision of Jesus during a near-death experience?

If you know, you are ahead of us.

Evangelicals jump to call it a “rapture” prophecy, a prediction we don’t buy. Take was sounds right and leave the rest.

We’ll call it only an interesting item.

She is identified as Annabel Beam, a nine-year-old girl, survived a thirty-foot head-first fall into a hollow tree in Texas in 2011 age five, later sharing that she visited Heaven, met Jesus, and was miraculously cured of incurable chronic digestive disorders (you can see her testimony below). This event inspired the book and film Miracles from Heaven, documenting Annabel’s mother’s account.

The girl had suffered from severe, incurable intestinal disorders requiring a feeding tube. While unconscious, she reported going to Heaven, sitting on Jesus’ lap, and being told it was not her time.

After the fall, she was found completely unharmed and as stated was cured of her digestive diseases.

Jesus told her there’s going to be another world. He had a white robe and long curly brown hair and his eyes were blue.

Safe to say, you’ve got to buckle up for this one, because this little girl has come back from Heaven with one of the most detailed visions of the End Times.

Jesus held a book—it was a Bible—and He supposedly went to page 424. “He told me, ‘Don’t worry, Annie. Don’t be afraid. Everything’s going to be normal first.’

“‘The ice will melt on the polar bears and they will die; they will need water to keep them alive. The penguins and the baby penguins will die, and the little baby polar bears, too.

“If some people don’t believe in God, they will go to death. Jesus told me this.

“He told me there might be an evil king named Harold [confused with “Herod”?] who can destroy the world if he wants. The stars will fall down and there’s going to be tsunamis. It’s real. Everything will be gone—phones, pillows, houses. Everything will be gone in the Name of Jesus.

“It might happen next week, tomorrow, today, or any week. Jesus can do whatever He wants.”

That we know it true.

“This earth is not our home,” Annie ads. “Jesus said it is just our ‘pretend home.’ In Heaven, that’s our real home.”

This we’ll also accept.

Annie’s prayer: “Dear God, protect Daddy and Mommy and everyone on this road so they can’t die. Please, please say to them that it’s going to be the end of the world and to believe Him. Tell everyone—all 100,000 people—that it will happen, and You’re not joking.”
