First, let me read to you from Revelation and a few places of how it aligns with Santosh's testimony, 'cause I think you're gonna find it absolutely fascinating.

John, to set it up, who wrote Revelation, uh, he was one of Jesus' youngest disciples, the youngest disciple or follower.

And in John's old age, so this is probably about 40 years or so after Jesus' resurrection, he was actually imprisoned on the island of Patmos because he kept boldly proclaiming Jesus as the long-foretold Jewish Messiah.


His head and his hair were white as wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like flames of fire.

His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead, but he laid his right hand on me and said, 'Don't be afraid.

I died, but look, I'm alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and the grave.'" Revelation 1:13-18.


But then later on the platform overlooking the holy city, he sees God again, but this time in a different form.

Now, I believe this is who Santosh was describing, is the risen, glorified Jesus, and here's why.

He intuitiv- intuitively knew, he said, "This is almighty God," yet he said he was in a, a, a form of a man.

Now, a, a giant man, [laughs] okay? Um, but he was in this form of a man in a regal robe, and Santosh, remember, said he looked up into his eyes, and his eyes were like lightning.

Now, John said his eyes were like flames of fire and face like the sun, but that would kind of have the same appearance as, as lightning.
