‘Dead’ Man Woke Up at his Funeral

An 87-year-old man gave his relatives a shock in Taiwan - when he woke up at his own funeral.

pict354 Dead Man Woke Up at his Funeral pictureThe man’s relatives were in a Buddhist mourning hall, reciting prayers over the dead body, when it gasped and woke up.

The family had been told by the hospital which had been treating the man that the only thing keeping him alive were oxygen hoses, and that he would die quickly if they were removed.

The family opted to take him out of the hospital so that he could die at home.

They removed the oxygen hoses, dressed him in funeral clothes, and placed him in the mourning hall - until he started breathing heavily.

The family sent him back to the hospital. Doctors are reportedly baffled as to his impressive recovery.

Waking up at your own funeral, if that doesn’t turn someone into a religious man I don’t know what would!

Speaking of death to life experience! “miracles still occurs”, “wasn’t his turn yet”, “. . . turn someone into a religious man . . .”, you have to see the movie, “To End All Wars”.

The only place that I know that you can rent it is at Blockbuster. You will never see life through the same lense again.

It was not pro Japanese nor was it pro Scottish.
It was a movie that intentionally displayed the depravity of war on both sides. :O

miracle………… it was a miracle someone stays alive while another dies? obiously he wasn’t “dead” in the first place, death by science can be subjective due to the complexity of the body, not made up BS like miracles that are used to explain something you can’t understand, wake up to the real world.

actually Kebab, miracles do still happen. Science can try and prove whatever they want, but God is bigger then all of them. He lives and (as seen) still raises the dead today!!! Praise God! woo
