This video footage purportedly shows a soul leaving a woman’s body.
A surveillance camera captured what appeared to be soul leaving a woman’s body in a hospital in China.
The footage, which bore the date July 20, 2014, was uploaded on YouTube on June 26 and has amassed 1.88 million views to date.
It showed a woman lying on a hospital bed with a drape over her, the Mirror newspaper reports. Then a translucent figure emerges from her body and sits up before disappearing into thin air.
On the website Tuko, Loise Wepukhulu wrote that “the person in the hallway died, and no one would have ever known when it happened, if not for this video.”
“Some people refuse to believe in God or the spiritual nature of humans. They live as if there was no soul, but just the body. Once it gets used and worn out, it dies, and that’s the end of life. However, this video would offer a real shock for the materialists,” she added.
The question is what happens after one dies?
On the United Church of God website, Garry Petty wrote, “Where are our loved ones who have passed on? Will we ever see them again?”
“Everyone needs to know that life has purpose, that death isn’t the permanent end of our existence. The most common Christian belief regarding the afterlife is that people possess souls and at death their consciousness in the form of that soul departs from the body and heads for heaven or hell,” he added.
He said “immortal soul” does not appear in the Bible but “though the Scriptures do not speak of the soul as being immortal, they have much to say about immortality.”
In 1 John 3:15, he said, it is stated that “You know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.”
“And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day,” according to John 6:40.
Petty said people “are convinced they have—or are—immortal souls and hope they will go to a happy place or state of being immediately after they die.”
“Yet the Bible plainly teaches that the dead lie in the grave and know nothing, think no thoughts, have no emotions, possess no consciousness. Does this mean death, the cessation of life, is final, the end of everything?” he asked.
He said that while people will suffer physical death, “the good news is that God promises a resurrection to eternal life to everyone who repents, worships God and accepts Jesus as the Messiah and His sacrifice.”
“The first resurrection to immortality will take place when Christ returns to establish God’s Kingdom on this earth. Later will come another resurrection—to physical life—for people who had never had a relationship with the Father and Jesus Christ. They, too, will gain the opportunity for immortality. The true final answer is not death but resurrection,” he concluded.
