Christmas Eve vision of Jesus

I was also seeking the truth all my life, and I never would have thought I'd ever be saying this, but I can guarantee you that Jesus Christ is real, the Son of God, and alive. I know this because God revealed himself to me.

First of all, a disclaimer. I'm agnostic, but I lean towards theism. Probably if I had more proof I would be a Christian, due to personal experiences I've had, although other religions interest me as well. I never go to church, but I've been seeking the truth my whole life. I know someone is out there. I just don't know who.

Okay, onward.

I was nearly asleep when an image of Jesus (and possibly his apostles) came into my mind. Then I woke up while the vision was still fresh. I wrote most of this down immediately upon wakening:
b]But even more fearful than that. Like you knew this man had the power to banish you to hell,

Sounds like a good wake up call. Do you continue being an agnostic, or are going to accept Jesus, repent of your sins, live a righteous life according to the Bible, and avoid an eternity in hellfire?

I was nearly asleep when an image of Jesus (and possibly his apostles) came into my mind. Then I woke up while the vision was still fresh. I wrote most of this down immediately upon wakening:

What I saw seemed to be a still image, although I was literally standing there. (Or it could have been 3-D.) What I saw was duller than a photograph, but more realistic than a painting. The setting looked to be in the present. It was an image of a man. It was obvious to me he was Jesus, but there was what seemed like a ferocious lion peering out from inside him. This was my first impression. But not like a voracious, ravenous lion. More like a mighty, confident, majestic one. (I can't find the right words here.) In no way did he look physically like a lion. It could have been the way he composed himself, but when I saw him, a lion was the first thing that came to mind, and it was the most prominent detail in the vision. It was like looking at a lion without actually seeing one, if you can imagine that. (Probably not.) It's a little like trying to imagine a circle-square.

There was an immense feeling that I hoped I wasn't on his bad side, or that he would turn against me. Just looking at him caused me great fear, though I felt drawn to him just the same. I was perhaps drawn by an internal confidence, or even a magnificence in him. And this was a strange thing to think, since it was just a still picture of a regular looking guy with a regular expression on his face.

The lion. It's like if you were seeing a lion in real life sitting in front of you who didn't want to eat you, but you know it's a lion nonetheless. But even more fearful than that. Like you knew this man had the power to banish you to hell, but you were pretty sure he wouldn't. But could you trust your instinct? No, I found I couldn't.

I'm trying to explain this the best I can what having a vision feels like, but I don't think this will truly convey what I saw to someone who didn't share the experience. Try as I might, I can't find the right words.

So Jesus was sitting down and there were people sitting to the left and right of him. The image was kind of like 'The Last Supper' except everyone sat closer and more intimately together. Like they were posing for the picture. No smiles. They were all sitting in front of a window with light coming in, and perhaps they sat on a booth like you would find at any Denny's restaurant. I didn't notice what kind of clothing they wore.

There was something ancient about them. There were maybe five or six people in all, including Jesus. Or at least I could only see that many because the shot was a close-up. Jesus sat in the middle. He looked younger than the Jesus depicted in Da Vinci's painting. Maybe mid-to-early twenties physically, although I sensed he was much, much older. Once again, I don't think that would make sense to most anyone.

Feelings played an important role in understanding the image, and they weren't natural feelings. There was something synthetic about them. Jesus induced fear in me, although there was nothing particularly frightful about him or the image. The image didn't feel natural or dream-like either. It was as if someone were showing me a picture I could step into. Synthetic looking.

This morning I looked through a lot of pictures of Jesus on the Internet and couldn't find any that were close to what he looked like in my vision. Unfortunately, after looking through all those Jesus pics, I can no longer remember what the Jesus of my vision looked like.

Here's a short clip of someone who'd been seeking for the truth his whole life as well. His searching is reflected in all the songs he wrote, many of which are based on actual visions he had. BTW, one of them is called "Icarus".

Being able to track this man's spiritual quest throughout the songs he wrote while in the band Kansas has been a major factor I've come to like their music so much. Instead of writing about the mundane hype of the day like 99.9% of the other artists did/do, Mr. Livgren was brave enough to pour out his heart in public (and face ridicule, which he got a lot, even when he was not yet a Christian). It eventually led to the demise of the band but not before some real miracles happened:

This song was based on a vision Livgren had while "en route" so to speak.

"I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see."

Trying to put to words another vision:

"And in one gleaming moment I saw beyond the tomb."

Your Jesus was revealing The Comforter who is the Lion returning with Jesus's Spirit. The Comforter is already here on Earth. When you look into his eyes......you will Know it's him. He will speak of his Father who is Jesus and share what he is told.

For a very specific reason you may have been chosen to IDENTIFY him once he reveals who he is.

Op, his face will be undeniable. I sense that you will be able to do so within 48 hours.......

Get ready.....the world is in for a treat unlike anything witnessed before.

I had an intense experience with the Paraclete once. The shiver (nice one) down my spine was straight fron God.

Actually Jesus can appear in many forms!! He can appear as the Lion of Judah!! He can appear as the Son of Man who walked with the disciples!! He could appear as the King of Kings (like I saw Him) or in other forms, because He represents so many things!! I could go on and on. But one thing I think is true; you saw the Lion of Judah in Jesus Himself. And that means that God wants you to get to know Him and Who and What He is!!

I, myself has had many visions and dreams. And God gives them to us to heighten our understanding of Him, and to make us know what He wants us to do.

And because I have been a preacher of the great faith of Jesus Christ for 38 years now; I have to tell you that God is calling you into His Kingdom. And you should repent, which means to ask God to forgive you of all of your sins; and then you should accept Jesus Christ as your only Lord and Saviour!!

The picture of the last supper was first painted in 1480 you think that with the relatively primitivness of the people then could have any bearing on today everything about the pictures are wrong concerning Jesus , people think of Christianity as white jesus , white disciples everyone is white ,where truthfully judging by the location ,the language spoken in the country nothing is further from the truth .Maybe there should be actual pictures of what Jesus would have looked like and the language spoke ,the bible as everyone reads it is in english it was translated at the time by scholars who if they didn't understand a word they made up one ,so it was translated into what someone wanted the bible too be ,who was in charge of these scholars ........

That's a lion, king of the jungle. Not Jebus.

Would love to hear all your visions and supernatural experiences.

Booze during Christmas. I am not surprised you had such a dream.

I dreamed of Miss Santa and her bag of tricks last night.

Would love to hear all your visions and supernatural experiences.

Yes but I have a 500 page book or E-book coming out soon about my supernatural experiences with God and His angels and Satan and his demons!!

Pinned it for ya opie..wonderful testimony..

Thank you

Not wanting too pour salt on the wounds ,but you said you looked at pics of Jesus ,all the pics are of white dudes ,whereas Jesus wasn't white if you look at the evidence supplied there is no way he would look like the pics ,he was born in Bethlehem which means that no white guy set foot there ,he never spoke English either .
