Among the countless psychic seers and mystical predictions that have been made over the years about the incoming 'end of time', there's one individual we have an easier time believing - Julie Poole.
That's because the 'personal empowerment coach' and YouTube star has actually endured a personal relationship with the afterlife, having previously died, gone to heaven, and regained consciousness, all within a matter of minutes.

When Julie was just 21 years old, following over a decade of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse at the hands of those around her, she attempted to take her own life.
Describing herself back then as an 'absolute wreck', she said she struggled to live with the 'self-disgust' she felt about herself on a daily basis.
As a result, she took a 'massive overdose' of prescription drugs and awaited her passing.

Instead of dying, however, Julie fell unconscious for three days, claiming she woke up in what could only be described as another dimension.
During this period, she was considered to have endured a 'clinical death', which occurs when a person's heart stops beating and often sees hospital patients experience visions of the afterlife.
"I suddenly saw my guides and my angels around me and then they lifted me up, and took me up to the higher realms," she previously recalled.
"I just remember saying 'I'm going home' and they said 'No you're not, it's not your time'."

She added that these transient beings told her: "We did warn you it would be too hard and too overwhelming, and now here you are at 21 trying to check out."
Since that day, Julie has used her experience as a means of comforting any of her followers who endure a fear of death, by telling them everything she knows about the afterlife - including when Armageddon is due to arrive.
Firstly, she began by claiming that the ghostly beings she experienced while 'in heaven' spoke to her about a period of time called the Golden Age, which would occur in 2032, and would see people 'living from a place of love, insightfulness, self-awareness, compassion and kindness'.

She added that this time would see the 'enormous amount of power, abuse and control and repression and suppression and corruption and greed' that we've endured so far dissolved.
Tragically, however, she went on to say that, this time of peace can't arrive until 'the light' has 'shone on it', which should be perceived as Armageddon.
"Things are shifting and we're going to see more of that in 2024 and 2025 and it'll feel a little bit chaotic," Julie previously explained.

"But please trust that it's all to blast open that which needs to be seen so that it can be released and healed. And by the time we get through to 2032, we'll find everything settling down into a newer way."
She went on to predict that, as we approach our impending doom, we're more likely to experience an increase in some rather alien phenomena - literally.
"Please don't fear [these extraterrestrials]," Julie warned, however.
"These beings that come from faraway galaxies with incredible technology are not here to hurt us, they are here to help us. They are also here to protect us.
"If they feel that we are, for example, getting out of control with being trigger-happy with nuclear stuff, they will come in and they will stop it. They will not let us blow ourselves up. They will not let us destroy this planet. They will step in."
She added: "I particularly think there's going to be some sightings early in 2025."
Julie concluded her theory, however, by telling her followers not to get so down in the dumps about the forthcoming end of the world.
"For those of you who are younger, I promise you by the time you get to 2040-2050, this is gonna be such a better world.
"So, when we are going through these changes, you can either see it as something to be feared, or you can see it as the dawn of the Golden Age."
