Near-Death Experiences

Question

Do near-death experiences give glimpses of the next world?

Answer

Near-death experiences seem to relate to the transition between this world and the next world, not to the next world itself. The Biblical Sheol too seems to be a transitional place; see 1 Samuel 2:6.
