During childbirth in September 1982, Khat experienced a rare case of preeclampsia that caused her heart to stop. During the emergency cesarean section, she had an out-of-body experience where she observed the surgical team frantically working on her body from above. She was then called by a figure she perceived as Jesus - a tall white man matching traditional depictions. Despite feeling profound peace and wanting to stay with this being, she was told it was not her time and that she had important work to do on Earth. The figure led her back to her body, explaining she was meant to perform great works that would help humanity. After being unconscious for sixteen days following the surgery, she experienced another visitation from the same Jesus-like figure while doctors had given up hope. Again, she begged to leave with him but was emphatically told she must complete her earthly mission first. She awoke that afternoon at 3:00 PM, making a miraculous recovery that defied medical expectations.
The veridical elements included her accurate observation of the surgical team's frantic efforts during her cardiac arrest, which she witnessed from an out-of-body perspective above the operating table. She described specific details about the medical staff's actions and her own small body in a white gown being worked on, observations that would have been impossible from her physical vantage point while unconscious. --- Biblical Summary --- Biblical elements: The experience strongly aligns with biblical accounts through the encounter with a Christ-like figure who appeared as traditional depictions of Jesus. The concept of having a divinely appointed purpose and mission on Earth resonates with biblical teachings about God's plan for each individual. The peace and comfort experienced in the divine presence matches scriptural descriptions of God's peace that surpasses understanding. The being's authority over life and death and the concept of "it is not your time" reflects biblical sovereignty over human life spans. Unbiblical elements: While the experience contains no directly contradictory elements, the encounter focuses primarily on an earthly mission to help humanity rather than spiritual salvation or relationship with God. The absence of any mention of sin, redemption, or faith-based salvation could be seen as incomplete from a conservative evangelical perspective. However, given the brief nature of the encounter and its focus on sending her back, this absence is not necessarily problematic.
