About Choo Thomas
Who was Choo Thomas?
Choo Thomas was a Korean-American Christian woman who, beginning in 1996, received supernatural visitations from Jesus Christ. During these encounters, Jesus took her spirit to Heaven on numerous occasions and revealed many things to her about eternity, salvation, and the end times. She recorded these experiences in her book "Heaven Is So Real!" and devoted the rest of her life to sharing the message Jesus gave her. She passed away on April 22, 2013.
Why did Jesus choose Choo Thomas?
Choo Thomas often said she did not know why the Lord chose her. She considered herself an ordinary woman with no special qualifications. However, she was completely surrendered to God and willing to obey Him in everything. The Lord told her that He chose her because of her obedience and her heart's desire to please Him.
Did Choo Thomas experience physical manifestations during her encounters?
Yes. Choo Thomas described intense physical manifestations during her encounters with the Lord, including uncontrollable shaking, trembling, and groaning. These manifestations often occurred before the Lord appeared to her and were evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit working in her.

About Heaven
What did Choo Thomas see in Heaven?
Choo Thomas described seeing many wonderful things in Heaven, including:
- Beautiful mansions of various sizes and splendor, prepared for believers
- Crystal-clear rivers and lakes more beautiful than anything on earth
- Magnificent trees, flowers, and landscapes in colors that don't exist on earth
- Angels worshipping and serving the Lord
- Believers dressed in white robes, filled with joy
- A special beach where Jesus often took her to talk
- The throne of God in all its glory
Will everyone have the same reward in Heaven?
No. Jesus showed Choo Thomas that there are different levels of reward in Heaven. While all believers will be in Heaven, the size and beauty of their eternal dwelling will vary based on their faithfulness and obedience on earth. Those who served the Lord wholeheartedly will receive greater rewards than those who were lukewarm or disobedient.
What does the Bible say about Heaven?
The Bible describes Heaven as a place of incredible beauty and joy where believers will dwell with God forever. Key passages include:
- John 14:2-3 — "In my Father's house are many mansions... I go to prepare a place for you."
- Revelation 21:4 — "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain."
- 1 Corinthians 2:9 — "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."
About Hell
Did Jesus show Choo Thomas Hell?
Yes. Jesus also took Choo Thomas to see Hell so that she would warn others about the terrible fate of those who reject Christ. She described Hell as a place of unimaginable torment, darkness, and suffering where souls cry out in agony with no relief.
Why would a loving God send people to Hell?
God does not want anyone to go to Hell. 2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise... He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." God has provided a way of salvation through Jesus Christ. Those who end up in Hell do so because they rejected God's offer of forgiveness and chose to remain in their sins.
Can Christians go to Hell?
Jesus warned Choo Thomas that many people who call themselves Christians will not enter Heaven. He said that those who are lukewarm, disobedient, or living in unrepentant sin are in danger of being left behind at the Rapture and facing God's judgment. True Christians are those who have genuinely surrendered their lives to Christ and are walking in obedience to Him.
About the End Times
Did Jesus tell Choo Thomas when He would return?
Jesus did not give Choo Thomas a specific date for His return. He made it clear that His coming is very soon, but that no one knows the exact day or hour (Matthew 24:36). What He emphasized was that believers must be ready at all times because He could come at any moment.
What is the Rapture?
The Rapture is the event when Jesus will return to take His faithful believers to Heaven before the Great Tribulation begins on earth. Those who are ready and waiting for Him will be caught up to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Those who are not ready will be left behind to face the terrible time of tribulation.
How can I be ready for the Rapture?
To be ready for the Rapture, you must:
- Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
- Repent of your sins and turn away from them
- Be filled with the Holy Spirit
- Live in obedience to God's Word
- Watch and pray, keeping your heart pure and ready
About Extra-Biblical Revelation
Should we believe experiences like Choo Thomas's?
The Bible tells us to "test the spirits" (1 John 4:1) and to examine everything against Scripture. Choo Thomas's experiences should be evaluated in light of God's Word. If her message leads people to repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and holy living, it bears good fruit. The Bible also records many instances of God speaking to people through visions, dreams, and angelic visitations.
How do Choo Thomas's revelations compare to Scripture?
Choo Thomas's descriptions of Heaven and Hell are consistent with what the Bible teaches. Her urgent call for repentance, holy living, and readiness for Christ's return aligns with the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Her message does not contradict Scripture but reinforces its truths.
