I never thought I would have to share this story. It was too much to comprehend, too vivid, too terrifying — and too real to ignore. It wasn’t a dream, a hallucination, or a fleeting emotion. It was a real experience. A moment in time when I knew for certain that I had met Jesus — and what He showed me, what He said to me, shook my heart like nothing I’d ever experienced in my life.
I remember that night, praying as I always did, simply asking for God’s guidance and strength in my faith. I wasn’t expecting anything special. I wasn’t prepared for what was to come. Around midnight, I fell into a deep sleep, but my spirit seemed to lift from my body. I found myself standing in a vast field, surrounded by light. Jesus appeared before me — radiant, powerful, and full of love.
He didn’t say a word at first. His eyes pierced me — as if he saw all my sin, all my fear, all the things I had tried to hide. But they weren’t condemning. They were compassionate.
Then he held out his hand. When I touched his hand, everything around me changed. In an instant, I saw a sight I had never imagined: the Rapture. I saw millions of people disappear from the face of the earth in an instant. Some were working, some were sleeping, some were playing — and in an instant, they were swept up, disappearing into a blinding light in the sky.

The sight was both beautiful and shocking. The people being caught were filled with joy, jubilation, weeping with absolute relief. But immediately, I also saw something else: the people left behind. They were panicking. They screamed. They ran everywhere looking for their lost loved ones. The cries, the cries for help, the sound of the world collapsing echoed everywhere.
As I was still in shock, Jesus turned to me. And then He spoke. But the words that came out of His mouth shook me even more than anything I had just witnessed:
"Many think they are ready, but they are not. They think I will take them up, but they will be left. For they know My name, but their hearts are far from Me. They love the world more than Me. They are more concerned with small things than with seeking Me."
I couldn't breathe. His words were like a knife piercing my soul. I thought of myself. I thought of my friends, my family, the people I love. How many of them really "know" God — not just "know about" Him? How many people are living their lives on their own terms, believing that just because they prayed once, or went to church once in a while, they will be saved?
Jesus continued:
"When I come, many will say, 'Lord, Lord!' but I will say to them, 'I do not know you.' Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven."
I trembled. I knelt before Him, tears streaming down my face. I could no longer pretend to be strong in such a holy presence. I knew I needed to repent. I knew I needed to change.
When I looked up, He held out His hand to me again. In His hand was an hourglass. But the terrible thing was: there was almost no sand left in it. Time was almost up.
Jesus whispered,
"Be alert. Be prepared. Love me with all your heart, soul, and mind. The time is near."
And then I woke up. But that fearful, sacred feeling lingered. I knew it wasn't just a dream. It was a warning. An alarm bell for myself — and maybe for everyone reading this.
We are living in the last days. We can't pretend. We can't hide. We can't just "believe." We need a real, living relationship with Jesus. We need to let go of the earthly things we love more than Him: fame, money, pleasure, comfort.
Because when that time comes — sooner than we think — there will be no second chances.
I don't share this to spread fear. I share it out of love. Because I believe God showed me these things not just for me to keep, but to warn others.
If you are reading this today, ask yourself: If the rapture happened right now, would you be taken or left behind? Do you truly love God, or do you only “use” Him when you need Him? Do you seek Him every day, or only when things get tough?
Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart. Don’t wait too long.
Turn to Him today.
Love Him more than anything else.
Live each day as if He were coming the next hour.
Because He is really near.
