Controversies
Visiting Heaven Claims
In an interview with a local newspaper, Madungwe revealed that he had experienced his first visit to heaven in the year 2006.
As l was in my prayer room just after midnight on 1 January 2016, an angel came and told me that we were about to embark on a journey to Heaven. Naturally, l was nervous but the angel gave me courage and l obliged. At that moment my body was changed from the physical form into the heavenly body that is able to disappear and reappear. The angel and l immediately appeared in Heaven.
Heaven is very far. l could tell when we got there that we had traveled at an incredible speed. There are three heavens with angels manning the gates,” he says as he stares off into space. The first Heaven has vast storerooms of snow and hailstorms, things that God send to us when we sin. The second Heaven is a beautiful city, the new Jerusalem where beautiful houses are being prepared for the righteous as promised by Jesus.
About twenty types of minerals are being used to build this beautiful city but gold is the dominant one, the roads are pure gold. The city is almost complete. In the third Heaven, there is much activity. I saw the apostles and prophets from the Bible relaxing in paradise.
God was in this third Heaven seated on his throne and was surrounded by innumerable thrones of ‘heavenly delegates’ with the 24 elders and angels Michael, Gabriel and the seraphims closer to Him, continuously worshipping Him.
We have sinned and God shall reject the world. I was commissioned to be a prophet of all nations and lead the world when we enter into that season of exile, which is very near now. I will announce to the world when we get to that time. Soon after the short exile, we will have the second coming.
