Andrew from Atlanta, GA (15 years old)

The following was received 9/6/2008 in an email from a friend:

Date: Thursday, September 4, 2008, 2:52 PM

Dear Friends,

This is a Romanian-American young man (15 years of age) who had a heart failure on June 28 while he was returning from the afternoon service from the SDA Atlanta Romanian Church.

Andrew was immediately brought to the Children's hospital where I work. After 5 days in a coma, with absolutely no signs of recovering, all the doctors declared that he will die pretty soon. The American pastor from my church and the Romanian pastor performed the anointing ceremony on July 5th, Saturday afternoon. On the following Tuesday He underwent an open heart surgery and now he is recovering. Not only he didn't die but he is well on his way to a full recovery.

Last Sunday he had a dream. Please read about it below.

What is very interesting is that this is the second person who has a dream about the near future and about the fact that we need to leave the big cities.

Friends, the time is running short.

Let's all pray and be ready!

I know, it took too long for this update!

Andrew is improving slowly, he's still a bit confused when it comes to making any decisions, no matter how small. He seems to have trouble with remembering numbers and even some colors.

The most troublesome is the loss of short term memory. He does not remember pretty much anything that happened after that fateful Saturday June 28th, and at times he needs help remembering things from before that.

The only thing he remembers clearly and can describe in detail, with a clear voice is "his DREAM".
Last Sunday he woke me up at 4 AM (again) and kept repeating a phrase that I didn't understand at first because his speech was still a little slurred after only 3 days from regainig conciousness. Then he gathered all his strength and said with a clear voice:

"Time is running out, History is closing."

To my puzzled face, he replied: "Mom, I saw Jesus!
He said we need to be ready, He's coming back very soon,
Soon, sooner than we expect."

I asked if He said anything else and Andrew replied that he was told that Atlanta will be destroyed and he saw like a movie or the news that Atlanta was in ruins. He was told that we need to leave and go to the mountains, but that each one has to pray and God will show individually when and where to go. Andrew repeated this dream to some of our friends when they came to see us in the morning that Sunday. I thought about all of it and discussed it with S-----, then we decided not to tell people yet, thinking that if it was just a normal dream Andrew will probably forget it just like he forgets everything right now.

About 3 days passed and his cousin called from Hawaii (by this time Andrew could speak a little better). After a few words Andrew said: "Man, I have to tell you my dream." And proceeded to tell J------- the previous dream plus some more details. When J------- asked what Jesus looked like, he replied shaking his head in a gesture of unworthiness: "I can't really describe, but He is Glorious, Almighty, Powerful, Jesus is light!"

He saw a city made of "gold that looked like crystal", where people dressed in clothes that were "white, white, white, the brightest white you've ever seen" were singing with the angels.

The songs were composed of "sounds of a different nature not just melody", sounds that he cannot describe!

Later on that evening after the visitors left, I gave him a few fruits to eat before bed. Andrew took a slice of peach and stopped short of putting it in his mouth. With a frustrated voice he said: "I wanted to taste the fruit, mom. I saw fruit there in the trees and it looked so wonderful, so huge, I don't know what kind it was, and I wanted so much to taste it but I couldn't..."

Then he took my hand and looking in my eyes he said: "Why did Jesus honor me so much, why did He choose me to see all this? I feel so sinfull! It was a scarry dream, because I mistakenly thought I was left out of heaven. I felt like I was not serious enough to be saved."

Then he added on a thoughtful tone:

"WE ARE NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BE SAVED.
Jesus said: BE READY, BE READY, BE READY,
I AM COMING VERY, VERY SOON, SOONER THAN ANYBODY EXPECTS!"

As much as I could, I quoted Andrew's own words and tonight I had his full hearted agreement to post this on the page because he wants as many people as possible to know.

Response from a friend on 9/9/2008:

M------,

This email is true and I know Andrew personally. He is my nephew and the cousin he talk to in Hawaii is my son.
Andrew is a miracle, his heart stopped for about 10 min. until he was resuscitated by paramedics and even to this day doctors don't know why he had a cardiac arrest. He did not have an open heart surgery, it was a very complicated test on the heart to find the reason it stopped and after that they put in a defibrillator. He is home now, almost fully recovered with no brain damage.(Praise God)
We did not sell the house yet, but is in God's hands. Please pray for us and our friends who are struggling with this issue.
I have heard that the Bernard family sold their house.

God bless,
N-----
