Choo Thomas was an ordinary woman who received an extraordinary calling. Beginning in 1996, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to her and took her on numerous visits to Heaven, revealing to her the beautiful eternal home He has prepared for those who love Him.
Her Story
Choo Nam Thomas was born in South Korea and later immigrated to the United States. For most of her life, she lived as a typical Christian—attending church and believing in God, but not fully understanding the depth of what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Everything changed on February 19, 1996. On that night, something unusual began to happen to her body. She began to shake uncontrollably, and she heard the audible voice of the Lord speaking to her. This was the beginning of a series of supernatural encounters that would transform her life and eventually touch people around the world.
Visits to Heaven
Over the following months and years, Jesus appeared to Choo Thomas many times. He took her spirit to Heaven, where she witnessed:
- The beautiful mansions prepared for believers in Heaven
- The stunning landscape with crystal-clear rivers, magnificent trees, and flowers of indescribable beauty
- Angels serving the Lord and worshipping Him
- The different levels of reward believers will receive based on their faithfulness on earth
- The Great White Throne where Jesus will judge all people
But she was also shown the terrible reality of Hell—a place of unending torment for those who reject Christ. The Lord showed her these things so that she would warn others and urge them to accept salvation while there is still time.
The Book: "Heaven Is So Real!"
Jesus instructed Choo Thomas to write a book about her experiences. The result was "Heaven Is So Real!" first published in 2003. The book has since been translated into many languages and shared with readers around the world.
Through this book, countless people have:
- Come to faith in Jesus Christ for the first time
- Rededicated their lives to the Lord
- Received healing and deliverance
- Experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit in powerful ways
- Been inspired to share the Gospel with others
"The Lord told me that this book is the last chance for many people before His coming. He wants everyone to read this book and be ready for Him."
Her Message
The central message that Choo Thomas shared throughout her ministry was simple but urgent:
- Jesus is coming soon. The signs of the times indicate that we are living in the last days.
- Heaven is real. It is more beautiful and wonderful than anything we can imagine.
- Hell is also real. It is a place of eternal suffering for those who reject Christ.
- Salvation is available to everyone. Jesus died for all people, and anyone who accepts Him as Lord and Savior will be saved.
- Time is running out. We must be ready and help others be ready before it is too late.
Her Legacy
Choo Thomas went to be with the Lord on April 22, 2013. Though she is no longer with us on earth, her message continues to reach people around the world through her book, videos, and this website.
Her life stands as a testimony that God still speaks to His people today, and that He desires for all to come to repentance and experience the joy of eternal life with Him.
