GLORIA POLO'S NEAR DEATH TESTIMONY
The Testimony of Gloria Polo
May
5, 2005 - Caracas, Venezuela
Good morning, brothers. It is wonderful for me to be
here, to share with you this gift so beautiful that
the Lord gave me.
That which I am about to recount to you happened May
5, 1995 at the National University of Bogotá,
starting from 4:30 pm.
I am a dentist. I and my 23-year-old cousin, who is
also a dentist, were studying in order to get the
specialization. On that day, which was a Friday,
about 4:30 pm, we were walking together with my
husband toward the Faculty of Dentistry to find some
books that we needed. With my cousin I walked under a
small umbrella while my husband wore a rain coat and

Baby Jesus and he always carried around his neck His
image, a quartz medal. The authorities said that it

my cousin, because it entered into the heart burning
everything…
Remaining intact externally, he immediately had a
cardiac arrest which did not respond to the attempts
of reanimation by the doctors, and he died on the
spot.
As for me, the lightning bolt entered from my
shoulder, burning terribly the whole body, inside and
out; in short my flesh disappeared including my
breasts, especially the left one, leaving a hole. It
caused to disappear the flesh of my abdomen, of my
legs, of the ribs; it carbonized the liver, it
gravely burned the kidneys, the lungs, the ovaries…
and came out through the right foot.
For my contraceptive, I was using a spiral (an
intrauterine devise in the form of a T), and because
of the material with which it is made (copper) it is
a good conductor of electricity; the lightning bolt
carbonized and
