Visions

Last year I started getting visions of Jesus talking to me and taking me into the heavens and pointing down at the world below, I saw it and the people in it, mostly all the bad stuff was highlighted to me, this lasted a while as I looked around and felt sadness at what was happening, then the world disintegrated and a new world formed. Jesus took me back down to the earth and we stood amongst the grass looking at trees that towered higher than any other tree I had ever seen, all the colours were brighter than any colour that I know of, as if all my life I'd lived with blurred vision and now for the first time ever I was seeing real colour, everything was beautiful, flowers, animals, birds, insects, plants, water, fish and trees. There were no houses and the weather felt perfect, not too hot or too cold as if those extremes no longer existed, there were humans and on every face was a smile and laughter lines.

I had never been religious before this event and not really since either as now I guess it's hard to believe again, although at the time and the visions lasted for over a month I believed it all whole heartedly. I started going to different churches every day and felt compelled to lay face down on the floor and pray and again visions would come to me. At one point my fiance said that I looked as though I was levitating off the floor a couple of centimeters.

In one vision we were stood at the top of a mountain and Jesus hit the floor with his staff and the earth started to crack open, the clouds turned dark and there was a storm, earthquakes hit and volcanoes erupted and people were screaming and running trying to hide and escape, but there was nowhere to hide or escape because the catastrophes were everywhere.

Regardless of whether the visions I got were good ones or bad ones I still always felt fear that I was going crazy. It didn't bring me peace to believe that Jesus was talking to me. I felt scared that he had a purpose for me but wasn't revealing to me what that purpose was.

I visited a priest at one of the churches that I was going to and he told me that lots of people get visions and that they are nothing to be scared of and that I should just ignore them. Easy for him to say! It was impossible to ignore them.

At some point I'd started speaking in another language, not your typical speaking in tongues that you hear about as I've heard that and this was nothing like that. My fiance wrote down what I had said and we gave them to a minister I had met online and he told me that it was Hebrew. I did write down the translation but for the life of me I can't find it now so I can't give the exact translation but it was something along the lines of God (his real name) is in us all, you are from the tribe of Gad.

I also don't own a bible so I asked the church for a copy and they gave me one free of charge and inside it had a piece of paper with a couple of scriptures in it. Bare in mind this was not the priest I had told of my visions, and this priest was from a different church and had no knowledge whatsoever that I was getting visions. The first scripture (I don't recall what it was but somewhere in John I think) but it said something about people getting visions. Another scripture described a new world that matched the visions I had been getting (somewhere in revelations I think) There were a couple of other scriptures about the end of this world but again I can't recall what scriptures they were.

Now as much as I believed all this was real at the time and became quite religious for a while out of pure fear that I had some purpose I had to fulfil and was desperate to find out what that purpose was and why I was getting visions, since then I have put all this down to maybe being temporarily delusional. However I would still like to hear what others that have experience with spiritual things and who believe in God and Jesus think about this experience.

Please bare in mind I am not particularly religious and am currently a non practicing wiccan (used to practice but a bit lazy now). I am kind of open minded as to the existence of a christian god or other gods/goddesses. I believe in the wiccan path because of its core/fundamental belief system in love, nature and harm none.
