all aglow, was a figure dressed in white garments. IT WAS THE LORD..."
"How could this be happening to
me? I wondered...as I began to tremble...and to weep tears of love
and joy. "My daughter...I am your Lord, and I want to talk
to you. I am going to visit you many times before this work is done." "The
impact of His voice, His words, His message hit me with a supernatural

--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
In 1992, a Korean American by
the name of Choo Thomas, becomes a born again Christian. What makes
this story unique is that two years after her conversion, Choo was
visited by Jesus Christ of Nazareth. She was subsequently escorted
to heaven several times and shown hell twice. Choo Thomas
has written a book about her experiences; the book is called “Heaven
is so Real” and it was published on October 2003.
Within a year of being published, this book has become an international
bestseller as well as a top ten Christian Charismatic book in the
United States.
How does a simple housewife, who
speaks limited English, not only manage to publish a book, but within
a year of being published, it becomes an international bestseller
? But perhaps an even more important question is why these revelations
now. “Heaven is so Real” and this is the story
of Choo Thomas.
--------CHOO
THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
“Well… Heavenly
Father, thank you for allowing me to testify. Halleluiah. I become
Christian since in 1992 and I literally fell in love with Jesus
after I went to church a few times and I wanted to give every area
of my being to Him the rest of my life…So…
And I want to
speak briefly about a book called “Heaven is so Real”. The Lord
Jesus Himself took me to heaven seventeen times with my transformed
body, like when I was 15 or 16 years old. Before this, He prepared
everything step-by-step. 1994 He anointed me my entire body with
Holy Fire, then a month later, He showed me with His visual presence
at the church during worship service. Then 1995, Easter Sunday,
He anointed me with shaking body and ever since, my body shakes
at the church, during my prayer time. You see, my body is moving
back and forth right now, if I don’t do this, my stomach get very
tight and it feel like exploding; that’s why I’m moving back and
forth. So please don’t think anything wrong with my body. That’s
the Holy Spirit doing this because I’m talking about Jesus, that’s
why. And then, after this, He baptized me with Holy Spirit, with
new tongues, Heavenly songs, Holy Laughter and I was so anointed
for three hours and I was on the floor, I couldn’t get up because
it was too powerful. After that, few months later, pastor Larry
Randolf, he prophesized for me that he told me that the God wants
to use me in such a special way. And all his prophecy was come true
, thousand times, more. And after this, January, 1996 , Lord Jesus,
He was visiting me with His visual presence. And He visited me for
10 times to tell me how He going to use, and the all the things,
His plans and He was telling me about it, as in the book. But He
didn’t tell me He was going to take me to Heaven. So, after 10 times,
February 19, 96, He began to take me to Heaven with my transformed
body, like His Spirit body, my body. Each time, before He took me
to Heaven, He brought me to the beach, earthly beach. The very first
time before he took me Heaven, He took me to one side of the beach
He showed me small body of water crystal clear then He showed me
huge shiny tunnel. So after that he took me to heaven
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
After going through the tunnel,
Choo writes:
“The Lord and I walked along the
road that came down from the top of the hill. Eventually we reached
a huge white gate that stood in front of a large white building.
We walked through the gate and proceeded towards the white building.
We entered and walked down a long corridor that led to a very large
room. Which we entered . As I looked down, I realized for the first
time that I was wearing a different robe than I had on at the beach,
and I could feel something heavy was resting on my head. I reached
up and discovered a beautiful crown had been placed there without
my realizing it. Then I looked directly at the Lord. He was sitting
on a throne, and He wore a radiant gown and golden crown. Others
were there with me, kneeling on the floor and prostrating themselves
before Him. The walls of the room were made of large shiny stones
that glowed. The multicolored rocks provided an effect that made
the room seem warm and happy, as well as mysterious. Then, just
as quickly as I had been transported up the mountain and into the
white building, I found myself on the beach again.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
Very first time
He only showed me His throne room. Then after that we came down
from heaven and the, we were sitting on the sand on earthly beach.
And then He began to talk. He said, "We
just went to Kingdom of Heaven. The only one who will come there
are obedient and pure hearted",
and He said "Preaching
gospel is very important"
and He waited for awhile, and He said "those
who don’t tithe, they are disobedient Christians."
That was the last word He said the first trip.
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
Choo went on to visit heaven 16
more times, in each of these visits, she writes:
“In my transformed body, I walked
with the Lord on the beach, and then He escorted me to heaven. We
walked through the pearly gates and went to the white building to
change our clothing. After changing, we walked across the golden
bridge. It all was becoming so natural to me. Each believer, I’m
sure, will go through the same procedure when he or she goes to
heaven.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
After that, He
took me to heaven 16 more times. Each time He took me there, He
showed me different things. And when He showed me special things,
always, he was saying that I prepared this for my children, I know
what they like. Like when He showed me beach, you see daughter how
beautiful this beach is, I know my children like this beach and
when He took me to fishing, I know my children like fishing, that’s
why I prepare so many things what they like and I realized in heaven
is well a thousand times beautiful than on Earth, but a lot of things
like on Earth like roads, buildings, trees, bushes, rocks, flowers,
rough places outside the kingdom; there are so many things there;
but that they are thousand times beautiful on Earthly things, just
beautiful. The beauty of heaven is indescribable and I can’t even
describe how beautiful they are, just beautiful. And the, I realize
how much Jesus loves each and every one of us. The way He talked
to me was saying that “you see how much I love my children and I
did all these things for my children”, you know. That is why He
took me there to show what He prepared for His children, so let
each and everyone know what heaven is waiting for us, so before
He comes, He want all the Christians to know this things, so they
can be excited and go there. That is why I believe He showed me
these things. He doesn’t tell me everything, you know, thoroughly,
He just show me some certain things, just say very few words, necessary
words He tells me. That’s loving God He is. Praise you Lord.
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
Besides experiencing heaven, Choo
was also show hell twice.
She described hell vision as follows:
I could see fumes and dark smoke rising from a deep pit. It was
like the crater of a volcano, and inside I could see flames scorching
a multitude of people who were screaming and crying in the kind
of agony that only the severely burned truly know.
The people were naked, without
hair, and standing close to one another, moving like worms, and
the flames were scorching their bodies. There was no escape for
those who were captured in the pit-its walls were too deep for them
to climb, and hot coals of fire were all around the edges.
The flames would leap out unexpectedly
from all directions. People would move away, and then as soon as
they seemed to think that they were safe, another fire would burst
forth. There was no rest for these unfortunate victims of sin; they
were doomed to spend all eternity being scorched and burned as they
endeavored to escape the flames of hell. “Who are these people?”
I asked. “My daughter, these people
did not know Me.”
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
In heaven whatever
he showed me was such an exciting thing and awesome things but next,
He showed me Hell. He took me to hell, the first thing I seen inside
was all fire, but it was deep, dark, endless hole. People were naked,
with no hair. They didn’t have no hair, they didn’t have no clothes
on, all naked body. They were standing so close to each other. Seems
like they are, they were pushing each other against because they
want to get away from the fire. Each time they move, the fire follow
them, back and forth, back and forth, just whole place was fire,
and these people were standing so close to each other. They looked
so pain and sad and I couldn’t help crying so much for them. Then
he took there a second time and I saw same people again. Then I
heard voices and I looked a the directions, so many Orientals there.
And this one lady, she was waving at me, saying so hot, so hot.
I looked at her and our eyes meet each other. That my mother. When
I realized it was my mother, my heart dropped and I began to cry.
I have never felt such a pain, just pain. So pain, I didn’t know
what to do. And she kept saying hot, hot and she was waving at me.
And the way I seen it, she wanted me to come down and help her.
Then I looked, other people, there was my dad, my stepmother, my
young nephew, he died very young and two friends that I knew. Oh,
that was such a painful memory and I keep crying crying crying,
then the Lord Jesus told me “daughter,
I have a good reason to show you this, but I am hurting more than
you are”. Uumm.
And I told Him, Lord, my mother, she died young, she has been sick
for a very long time. I don’t think she was a bad person. He said, "It
does not matter how good people are, whoever doesn't know me, this
is the only place they go."
But in my heart saying, why are you showing me this to hurt me this
way. I thought about that, but I could never angry at Him. I couldn’t
see His face, but I could tell He was crying with me. I just feel
that. He looked so sad, then He touch my head, took my hand, we
walked out there and I was crying the whole time we were walking.
In the book, I explained the very details, so, then, next visiting
he showed me another sad thing. It was aborted babies. He took me
to this one place it was a huge building. They looked like warehouse.
When we walked in it, all I see was babies, tiny, tiny naked babies.
And they were lying side by side. Humm, and I began to cry. Lord,
why is so many babies. He said, "they
are the aborted babies".
I said what are you going to do with them. He said that if their
mothers are saved and they come to heaven, they will have their
baby back. That was it.
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
On her 17th trip to heaven, Jesus
told Choo that this would be her last trip to heaven. On this she
writes:
“His words stirred me deeply.
My heart actually ached with love for my Lord. He stood up, and
I knew it was time for us to leave. I continued to cry, but my heart
was reassured with the knowledge I would be with the Lord forever
and that He would always be with me on earth. At the dressing room,
an angel of the Lord embraced me. It was so exhilarating to be in
a place where so much love, compassion and understanding were always
present. As I changed my clothing, I surmised that both Abraham
and the angel knew this would be my last visit to heaven. As I walked
out of the changing room, the angel hugged me once more. This angel
had blond hair, flowing white robes and a face that was tender and
warm. The angel smiled at me as I walked towards the Lord.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
When the Lord
Jesus took me to heaven 17th time, He showed me clouds. And that
was the end of my visitation in Heaven. The Lord Jesus told me this
is the last time you are here. I will not bring you here until the
last day. I just felt I knew this, that was the last day. And I
began to cry, because I didn’t want to leave there. I was holding
His arm and I said Lord, please don’t let me go, I don’t want to
go because I want to come here over and over. It was very very sad
for me, that I couldn’t go there anymore, because each time I went
with Him in heaven, I saw sad things, but joy peace, I can never
explain, never can explain the joy, peace I had there. Even sad,
I still had the joy, the peace. So much love, I cried many days
for that.
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
The Bible talks about a day when
Jesus Christ will come again for His church. In
1 Thessalonians 4: 16, it reads “For
the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command,
with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,
and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still
alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever”
This is know as the rapture.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
After all
that, about a couple of weeks later, Lord Jesus, He brought me to
the beach with my spirit body and His. And we sit usual place, then
we talked for awhile and the, He told me, I will show you something.
The minute He say that, I had a vision voice. Every time He shows
me something special, I get a special vision voice that is coming
my inner body, stomach. It was so loud and this vision voice took
very long time. Then I could hear noises, such such a loud loud
noises, I felt the whole world was coming down, so loud, just horrible
noises. Then I look, whole air was white. People with white robe
flying everywhere, just keep popping out, popping out, just disappear,
popping out, filled with air, with people. Then I know that was
rapturing. I was laughing, crying, screaming, so excited, and then
I saw my granddaughter, she only ten months old, she didn’t have
no hair, suddenly she fly out the window from inside the room. Then
with white rob and her hair came down to her shoulder. You can imagine
how excited I was. Then next minute, I saw my other granddaughter,
she was only 4 months old, she didn’t have no hair. She flew out
the window, same as the other one, with white robe. And her hair
too came down to her shoulder. I was screaming, crying, laughing,
exciting so much just I never excited that much before, just excited,
whole house could hear. Good thing my husband wasn’t home. If he
was home, he really thought something was wrong with me. And after
that, God showed me different scene. This scene was very sad one.
It was horrible.
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
The Bible also talks about a time
of great distress, soon after the rapture. In
Matthew 24:21-22, Jesus said “For then
there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the
world until now -and never to be equaled again. If those days had
not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the
elect, those days will be shortened.” This is known as
the great tribulation.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
Well, after that,
the Lord Jesus showed me another vision. This was people left behind.
I believe among them are a lot of Christians. That’s why they were
running right? If they weren’t Christians, they weren’t running,
you know. But the police were everywhere, people were everywhere
and they, just running, scared, and panicked face, going to the
car, going to the boat, running to the mountain, they just don’t
know where to go, just like they were chased by, you know., monster
or something. So scared, you know., horrible, horrible scene that
was. And after that, Lord Jesus He told me, that what you seen just
now is nothing compared to what will happen that day comes. And
after that, He told me, all my people are raptured, Satan will take
over this world and he wants everyone to receive his number 666.
And anyone who refuse to receive it, they will be beheaded. So whoever
don’t want to receive the marks of the beast number 666, they give
their heart to Jesus, they want to be with Him forever and ever,
Revelation 20:4. And then, whoever receive mark of the beast
number 666, they all will thrown into the lakes of fire forever,
ever; they will be burning in there day and night, no resting,
Revelation 14:11. So everybody should know about these things
and remember, want to be beheaded, it will not easy way. They will
be tortured so much before they will being beheaded, because satan
will not allow them to give in easily. So, whoever hear this message,
please if you are not have a close relationship with our Lord Jesus,
please do something about your salvation. Also, if you are left
behind, no-matter what it cost, don’t ever, ever take the marks
of the beast number 666. It’s better to be suffer for a while than
suffer in hell for ever and ever burning in fire and please,
please take seriously what I’m saying
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
The book, Heaven is so Real, is
currently being translated in many languages and being distributed
all over the world. There is also an
MP3 version of this book, which
can be purchased online.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
Well, book is
doing great. And this book is an international bestseller. The Lord
used Dr. Yonggi Cho for this book and he translated this book. It
took him about two months to translate, usually takes about six,
seven months. So, the day the book was printed, and it exploded
in Korea and is number one bestseller there. And almighty God using
Dr. Youggi Cho such awesome way. He has almost 800, 000 members
in his church, so God is using him for this book, he chose him for
this book. Praise you Lord, and the book is our Lord Jesus’ end-time
book. He wants all the Christians to read this book and witness
to others and this is what lots of people are doing, when they buy
one book, they buy dozens, they buy hundreds, and they say this
is best witnessing tool besides the Bible. And then, I receive so
may emails, I don’t have anytime for my own anymore. And especially
when I receive email from little young children about 12, 13 years
old. They are saying they are so much in love with this book. They
love Jesus, they call this Jesus’ book and they are transformed
by book. Some of them saying, I should quite school and do God’s
work. I say don’t ever quite school. You have to study, God wants
you to have education. That’s what I tell them you know. But whatever
you do, put God first I say. When I answer their emails, they are
so happy, You know, thousands and thousands of lives are changing
with this book because it is Jesus’ book. and he fulfilled all His
promises for this book from beginning to end. He told me, well,
He’ll take care of everything, from beginning to end I told Him
well, I was very worried, many things, you know, then He told me,
why you worry, this is my book, I will take care of it; always He
tell me that. But He has been taking care of everything from beginning
to end. Whoever read this book, they know this is Jesus’ book and
He did take care of everything. So, all His promise for this book,
He fulfilled. Now, only thing left is my dancing ministry. He trained
my dancing ministry; this is holy dance, for three years, then,
I dance at the church for two years. Now almost 3 and a half years,
I’m waiting on Him. Waiting is the hardest for serving God. You
know, I had to wait seven years before He publish the book. Some
time I thought if He will ever publish this book, but He fulfilled
His words, you see.
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
At the end of her Heavenly trips,
Jesus makes a very special promise to Choo.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
Well, the end
of the visitation was after I took care of the manuscript of the
book. Then He brought me to the earthly beach. And we spend about
a couple of hours. He told me He will bring me there every Monday.
That was May 27, 1996. Ever since, He never missed once, He bring
me there every Monday with my transformed body. He wake me up about
a few minutes after 12 o-clock every Monday Morning. He shakes my
body for 30 minutes, exactly 30 minutes; never less, never more,
and His presence shows and His spirit body, my spirit body and we
go to the beach. And the, when we go there, you know, He talks mostly,
I listen. Then I sing, I dance with my spirit body and this is the
best time of my life right now
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
The reason why Jesus died on the
cross is because of
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one
and only Son that whoever believes in him will not parish, but have
eternal life.
Therefore, according to
Romans 10:9 - If you confess with your
mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved.
--------CHOO THOMAS SPEAKING:---------
Well, I hear so
many people say “who cares after you die”, hee hee hee.
Then I say, "you better care after you die. This was when
I was witnessing. If you die, you only go two places, either heaven
or hell." They say, "eeeehhh, who cares after I
die." They talk like they don’t know anything after they
die. I say, "you better care after you die, because why
? Even you die, your body die, your spirit, soul will never die.
That’s why you can remember, pain, happy, joy, everything just like
when you were alive." But they still don’t believe it.
Aaaaah they get angry at me. I say, "I hope someday you
will remember what I’m saying. Do you know Jesus?" They
say, "I know God." I say,"well, Jesus is
God. He’s the Father, He’s the Holy Spirit, He’s all. If you don’t
know Jesus, you saying that you know God, that’s not going to take
you to heaven." I just talk and talk but they don’t
want to hear, most of these people. So I just tell them, "well,
you don’t want to believe it now, I hope someday, you will believe."
And I talk and talk but no matter what, they don’t want to accept
the salvation package. You know what I say, I say, "OK you
don’t want to accept this salvation package is fine, but one day,
you will know all of God’s people will be raptured, then you will
know what I’m saying right now, but I ask you, that time comes,
never to receive the number 666. If you receive that, you going
to burn in hell for ever, ever, ever. So please, please, please,
don’t ever receive the number 666. Will you please remember?"
You know, some of them say OK. I say this to many many people.
Anyone who has
never prayed the salvation prayer before, I would like to pray.
Please repeat after me. "Lord
Jesus, I believe You are Son of God and You died for me. Please
come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I ask you forgive
me all of my sins and cleanse me with your precious blood, taking
control every area of my life from this moment on. Jesus, fill me
with your Holy Spirit and empower me to be used for Your glory.
I want to serve you, love you, obey you all the days of my life
and make a difference in the lives of others. Father, thank you
for making me your child. In Jesus’ Holy Name, amen. Halleluiah."
Anyone who pray this prayer with me, please, go to church, listen
to word of God from pastors and read the Bible every day, study
it. Pray many times a day and have a relationship with Jesus. Thank
you, amen, Halleluiah
--------HOST SPEAKING:---------
