SID: I’ve never had this happen before. A messianic Jewish rabbi, Rabbi Halpern. I’ll tell you, Felix, I’ve never had anyone call me up and say, “Sid, I have an angel here right now.” That wasn’t a norm before that medical mistake occurred. Tell me about that.
FELIX: By no means. To be able to go through the process of dying from a medical mistake, consuming seven and a half months of medication in 29 days.
SID: That’s quite a mistake.
FELIX: Thrust my body for one month into a toxic state, which doctors called an inner storm. And the final week things began to accelerate where my body was on fire, my chest was in pain, my back, every muscle was hurting and all had typical signs of a heart attack. But for some reason, I kept thinking that it would go away. Until one night was the worst night of the whole process where I couldn’t take any more pain.
At 3:00 AM I go down to the living room and my heart stopped. It had too much. And in an instant, in an instant, actually in the twinkling of an eye, which is only a third of a second, like that my soul stepped out of my body. It began to rise in the spiritual realm. And at one point I could see my body on the couch, lifeless.
An angel came as I’m lying horizontally in the spiritual realm, and he’s moving his hand on me. I could see his body, powerful with authority and in the right side of my vision, where I was lying down in the spiritual realm, again I stress, was a white light. A distant light through a tunnel, like a tube if you will, or a tunnel.
SID: In this process, were you fearful at all?
FELIX: When death took place, all the night’s pain, all the month’s, was gone, but there was an incredible peace and joy. And there was absolutely no fear, but then the journey continued. And the next thing I knew that I was before the throne of heaven.
SID: What did you see?
FELIX: A ring of fire.
SID: You’re feeling emotion right now? Why?
FELIX: When I came before the throne, and I get emotional with that too, because you’re before the throne. A ring of fire encircles the throne, ripples of fire and ripples of glory with depth. With
protecting the throne. And I immediately went down upon my face. I remember covering my eyes because I could not stand the glory, the brilliance, the fire.
I had to cover my eyes. To this day when I’m in the presence of God and I come into his glory and I’m worshiping, it’s common for me to cover my eyes now, but I sat, I lie before the throne of God. I saw the throne.
I saw the feet of our Lord and the throne rested on a crystal sea, a crystal firmament that separated the third heaven from the lower heavens. And so, as I’m in heaven, I was by a river. The river flowed, it seemed, from the throne. And I don’t know to where it went, but it was flowing.
