Lundahl, C. R. (1999). Parallels between near-death experience prophetic visions and prophecies from the Bible and Mormon Holy Writ. Journal of Near-Death Studies, 17(3) 193-203.
Abstract: In 1982, Kenneth Ring identified a phenomenon where some near-death experiencers were permitted to see a picture of the Earth’s future as a “prophetic vision” or PV. In his study of the PV, Ring identified five elements of the PV for the future of the Earth as geophysical changes, meteorological changes, supply and economic breakdowns, nuclear war, and a new era of love and world peace. He also mentioned two other features, the death of many and a time frame for the elements. A comparison of the events of near-death experience prophetic visions of the Earth’s future and prophecies from the Bible and the Mormons’ Doctrine and Covenants shows nearly complete agreement. These catastrophic events are prophesied to occur on the Earth into the 21st century and to culminate with a new world of peace that is constituted of good people.
