A man who claims he saw Jesus Christ after being “pronounced dead for 45 minutes” has revealed he had a bizarre second encounter with the Almighty. Mike McKinsey was struck down with a mystery illness shortly after arriving at his son’s wedding venue, five hours from home.
The construction site manager, from Chattanooga, Tennessee, initially wrote off his symptoms as a standard bout of flu. McKinsey managed to soldier on through the big day, despite suffering from a burning fever and insomnia, but was rushed straight to hospital as soon as the wedding wrapped up.
Doctors suspected appendicitis and rushed him into surgery. That’s when he claims he had his first sight of Jesus, which was then followed by an even stranger visit 24 hours later.

Recalling the unbelievable moment, McKinsey told UNILAD: “I woke up and could barely breathe. I called the nurse and she told me I was coming down with pneumonia.
“More nurses came in and hooked me up to oxygen, put ice blankets on me because my temperature was over 104. They gave me a spirometer to breathe into.
“As the nurses were leaving, I felt a holy presence enter the room. I knew Jesus was back and I figured he was coming to take me back to heaven for good this time.

“I knew I waited too long to get checked out. But he sat down at the end of my bed and started talking to me.”
Despite a nurse standing in the room, McKinsey claims the conversation was completely silent to anyone else.
He said: “When he spoke, the nurse who had stayed in the room couldn’t hear him. And when I spoke to him, she couldn’t hear me either.
“He (Jesus) said: ‘I had to get you flat on your back away from all the distractions so you could hear me’. He went on to tell me I would make a full recovery and he was calling me out to do more for his kingdom.”
McKinsey claims the mind-boggling bedtime chat lasted a staggering three hours.
Describing his initial trip to the afterlife, he claimed Christ “walked in as a physical person” wearing a white robe, featuring “darker skin than [he] had been shown as a kid”.
He said: “[He] had a short dark brown beard with dark wavy hair. His eyes were a dark greenish blue. Even though he looked different, I knew immediately that it was Jesus.
“As he came closer to me, he held out his hand and said, ‘I want to answer your prayer’. I was very confused and thought I must have died, but I took his hand.”
The heavenly figure then led McKinsey straight into paradise. He said: “I was standing on beautiful, lush green grass, a very dark green. The blades of grass were perfectly manicured.
“My senses were heightened to the point that I could feel every blade of grass touching my feet. I even knew the exact number of blades of grass.”
He added that the otherworldly scene featured a stunning hill packed with flowers that “seemed to be swaying in a slight wind, but there was no wind”.
