Event Description

This was not merely a dream. One night, as an adult, I experienced what I can only describe as a divine translation.

My spirit was carried back through time to witness myself as an infant — no older than 18 months.

In the scene, I was seated with my earthly father, who was trying to teach me a simple phrase:

"Say this: I'm a star."

I could only manage "tar," but my father laughed and encouraged me.

To anyone else, it was a sweet, ordinary father-son moment.

But in this translation experience, I was not watching a memory. I was present — witnessing the exchange as it happened.

Heaven showed me that this was not merely a playful exercise. It was a prophetic decree over my life, delivered through the mouth of my earthly father but authored by my Heavenly Father.

Immediate Impact

As an infant, I had no comprehension.

But as an adult, translated back into that scene, I was overwhelmed with awe. This was not nostalgia. It was revelation: from the very beginning, God had named me and marked me.

Prophetic Reflection

But this Strange Event carried an even deeper revelation:

God exists outside of time.

In that moment of translation, I understood that He is not simply the God who knows past, present, and future.

He is the God who witnesses every moment of time simultaneously. He created time, and therefore it is subject to Him just as all creation is.

This means:

• He was present with me as an infant, decreeing destiny.
• He was present with me as an adult, witnessing the event again as He revealed it.
• And He is still present in that moment, because all of time is open before Him.

When we begin to grasp this truth, it becomes far easier to believe in prophecy, divine foretelling, or dreams that unveil the past. God is not guessing at the future — He is revealing what He already sees. He is not speculating on the past — He is unfolding what He still witnesses.

Spiritual Application

This Strange Event teaches us:

• God marks us with identity long before we understand it.
• Our earliest moments may carry prophetic significance that Heaven reveals later.
• God's relationship to time is not bound like ours. He created time, rules over it, and can draw us into His eternal perspective when He chooses.
• Understanding this expands our faith: if God exists outside of time, then every prophetic dream, every vision of the future, and every divine warning is not speculation — it is truth revealed from His eternal vantage point.

Event Description

It was the early 1970s, in Madison County, Illinois.

A popular hippie-style nightclub called The Granary had just opened. Black lights glowed against beads and posters of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Rock music pounded through the speakers. From a child's perspective, it felt like stepping into another world — overwhelming, colorful, and surreal.

My family, along with another family, went there one evening after a casual cookout. At some point, with my father's permission, I left the group to find the restroom. But when I tried to return, I became lost in the haze of lights, music, and multiple levels.

I was small. I was disoriented. And I was alone.

Then it happened.

Through the noise and confusion, a voice called my name:

"Kraig!"

I turned and saw a man and woman standing together, waiting for me.

The man began to speak — but not casually. He began telling me everything about myself.

• My birthday.
• My hometown.
• My favorite football team.
• My favorite color.
• The name of my dog.
• My middle name.
• Even my favorite ice cream flavor.

Detail after detail poured out. Each one correct. Each one undeniable.

At first, I thought this must be a prank arranged by my father, who loved practical jokes. Determined to expose it, I began pressing the man with questions, hoping to stump him. But his answers flowed effortlessly, without hesitation.

Finally, desperate to test the limits of this knowledge, I asked:

"Since you know everything — tell me how I'm going to die."

At that moment, the woman reached out, grabbed his arm, and said firmly:

"We cannot disclose this to him."

And with that, the two of them slipped away into the crowd and disappeared.

When I rejoined my family, I interrogated my father and others. No one admitted involvement. They had no idea what I was talking about. To this day, I remain convinced: this was no prank. It was a visitation.

Immediate Impact

As a boy, I was astonished and bewildered. How could strangers know such intimate details about my life? The encounter imprinted itself on me so deeply that I never forgot it, though for years I lacked language to explain it.

Prophetic Reflection

Looking back, I believe this was an angelic visitation — a moment when Heaven broke into the natural realm to leave an undeniable marker on my life.

• The Voice that Called My Name. This echoes 1 Samuel 3:10, when the young prophet heard God call him in the night: "Samuel! Samuel!" God often calls us by name when He is marking us for destiny.
• The Knowledge Beyond Human Reach. The man knew everything about me, even obscure details. This reflects biblical patterns: in John 1:48, Jesus told Nathanael, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you." Heaven's knowledge is complete.
• The Restraint. When I asked about my death, the woman stopped him. Prophetic information is filtered by mercy. God reveals what we can bear, not everything all at once (John 16:12).

The central lesson: I was fully known.

Nothing about me — my preferences, my identity, my destiny — was hidden from Heaven's gaze.

And this event revealed more than knowledge. It revealed care.

God was not only aware of me; He was watching, guiding, and speaking into my story long before I had words for it.

Spiritual Application

This Strange Event teaches us that:

• We are fully known and fully loved. God knows the details of our lives, and His knowledge is paired with care.
• Angelic activity is real and personal. Angels are sent to minister to those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14).
• God marks destinies early. Even in seemingly random places — a nightclub, a playground, a classroom — He sends signs of His ownership.
• Prophetic revelation is always filtered by mercy. God tells us what we need, when we need it.
