Eternal Retirement

J.J. Inserra

Description

"Do you know where you will spend Eternity?

Where will you go when your earthly life ends?  Where you go depends on what you do now.  Why is that

so?  Because after death the only laws and ways that matter are God's, and how well we tried to live by 

them.

God wants everyone with Him, but unfortunately, not all will make it.  Are you going to eventually make it 

to Heaven or not?  This is unknown.  Anyone can change for the better or worse until he or she passes away.

If you're a Christian and think that "all I need is to believe in Jesus and do nothing more", then you are quite

mistaken.  This is because God the Son came and for all.  With that said, does God owe us anything? But how 

well we live by His rules shows God that we want to live with Him forever in Heaven.

If you are an Atheist or an Agnostic and don't believe God exists or that there is any proof of His Existence,

this book helps those with such thinking.  You have faith, just not in God.  Yet.  We need faith to believe

the things people say to us, whether it is a lie or truth.

When God Died for us, it can be seen as though He invested in us, rather than starting over.  To get to His

Eternal Retirement Home we must live lives that show Him a good return on His investment in us.  Ask

yourselves this question often: Is the way I am living a good return on God's investment in me?  There will

be a need for improvement, even for the best of us.  This book helps us to do just that."

If all you read is this and nothing more
Start your day making your peace with God, because you don’t know if you will die before the day ends. Before you go to bed, make peace with God, because you could die during the night. Continue to do this every day and night, and you will be ready when your time comes to pass from this world to be with God, because you invested in the one He invested in with His Son and the Holy Spirit.

Dear readers, the Lord God has given me a number of dreams over the years since I was a boy. Only a few of them had sequels the following night. God has allowed me to tell you about one that I believe refers to this book.
This was a lucid dream, so I was aware in the dream, that I was dreaming this. In the dream, I was in my parents’ house in Rhode Island. Next, I opened the front door to the house and the Grim Reaper was standing there. The next thing that I did, was that I boldly grabbed his scythe from him, broke it over my knee, and then I turned to him and pushed him to the ground. Then, while he was on the ground, I grabbed his cloak and ripped it off him. And when I did that, there was nothing to him. There was nothing there or, no one there. And then the dream ended.
Before going into its meaning, there was a sequel to that dream the following night. In that dream - a lucid one - I am in the garage of my parents’ house (no car was there) and was in the presence of four angels looking up at them (they were taller than me). As they turned to walk into the house, in a single file, I caught the last one’s attention. I told him about the Grim Reaper the night before, and then asked him what it meant. He told me that something in particular will happen to me. I will not say what it is until it happens.
So, the meaning of the Grim Reaper dream is NOT the obvious, which is not dying. No I believe it is the writing of this book. It is quite bold for me to write such a thing, if you knew me. But my concern for all souls and the possibility of a great number of them spending eternity in Hell, really grieves me. I think about it everyday. The Grim Reaper represents the Second Death (Hell), and the book is my action toward the Grim Reaper. What this means is, no Second Death for those who follow this book. They will at least make it to Purgatory, and then eventually, get to Heaven.

I NTRODUCTION
Salvation: Financially Speaking
W HEN I WAS 8 years old, I was hit by a car while riding my bike at the elementary school I went to. It was a block and a half away from home. This happened on a Sunday afternoon in September or November. Coming out of the driveway of the school was when the incident happened. It was a hit and run. Lying there, crying, severely bruised and bleeding from my head, I saw the car go off as if nothing happened, or that I did not matter. It didn’t speed up or slow down. That would have told me that the driver of the car knew something had happened. Instead, it drove off at the same speed it was doing. I was left there, perhaps to die in the street. Fortunately for me, a friend of my bother, Paul, was there, playing basketball with his friends. He came down, picked me up, and ran me home, with me in his arms. I remember this part of the whole ordeal very vividly. We get to the front door of the house, and my mother answers the door. She was aghast when she saw me.
From that point, I don’t remember going through the front door, but the next thing I do remember is looking down at myself on the kitchen table, with my family all around me. The next thing I remember, I was lying on the lap of my second oldest brother, Russ, who was sitting in the passenger seat of my oldest brother’s car, who is Richard and was driving. I was not in my body at this time, but was looking at me on Russ’s lap, from the perspective of Richard, had he turned his head to the right to see how I was doing. It was then that Richard stopped the car at the corner of Webster Avenue and Lockwood in New Rochelle (hospital is on Lockwood), and got out to tell a police officer about the situation. I was later told that my brother went through a red light, and that was why the officer was following him. It was at this time that I was with Jesus. He was on my right side. I couldn’t turn to look at Him, but I could tell it was Him from my peripheral vision. He showed me this very large book that was opened. It was filled with names. Two columns of names on each facing page. Then He showed me my name. It was in the left column of the left page, third from the bottom. It was larger and bolder than the other names, or rather, made bigger and bolder.
Suddenly, I’m back in my body, in the hospital, being sewn up by the doctor. The great pain of all this was back. When I think back on this out-of-body experience, I am reminded that there was no pain when I was outside of the body. In fact, while writing this right now in the book, I recall that I didn’t even remember the pain I went through while this event with Jesus was happening. I stayed in the hospital two days, as my mother has told me. It seemed like a week to me, even now when I look back on it.
For decades I never told anyone about the out-of-body experience, not even my mother. I was only 8 years old when that happened, so I did not know anything about what I went through and experienced. Not until many years later when I found out that was the Book of Life that I was shown. I have looked for others who may have had a similar experience, but haven’t heard of anyone. I have heard of people seeing a light, a tunnel of light, or family members greeting them. I have even heard of stories of people who have died and were on the way to Hell. They were given another chance.
I have also learned last year, 2021, that I am a mystic as well. I started getting these dreams from God when I was 7. The first one was quite frightening. I woke up very scared and shaking with fear. It was God’s wrath, as I later learned about it reading the Book of Revelation. As this particular dream re-occurred several times, it became less intense each time I dreamed it. I have been given many other dreams from God, some more than once. Though I have never told anyone about them until last year, I always thought of them as pieces of a puzzle. When I mentioned some of them to this experienced priest, he said that I am a mystic. I didn’t know what a mystic is, but I have heard of them. So I asked him, "What does a mystic do to help others?" I asked this because of what St. Paul said, "… if I have faith strong enough to move mountains, but do not have love (for others), then I am nothing" (1 Cor. 13:2). That session with him had to end because of an important phone call. Later on, I looked up what a mystic is and found out I meet the criteria for being one. But what does God want me to do with it?
From what I have pieced together from all my experiences, education, and dreams and messages from God, it is to put this book together for everyone. The purpose of this book is to help get as many souls to Heaven as possible. It is true that God the Son came and died for everyone, but not everyone is living a life that shows God that they want to live in Heaven with Him forever. When Jesus died and rose from the dead for everyone, that means
