Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Burpo, who died and went to heaven.
He was greeted by Jesus, who showed him around and introduced him to all the angels.
After what felt like an eternity, Burpo was told that it was time for him to return to Earth.
With a heavy heart, he bid farewell to his heavenly friends and returned to his physical body.
From that day on, Burpo knew that he had a special purpose in life:
He went on to make a movie.
Colton Burpo Stands By Heaven is for Real
-Hannah Aster, "Colton Burpo Said He Saw Lucifer in Heaven" (Mar 24, 2021)
"One evening in early 2006, the Burpo family watched the recent movie adaptation of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe together. The film included a long medieval-style battle sequence, featuring warriors wielding swords. Colton loved this type of fantasy action, particularly when good triumphed over evil."
"After the film had finished, Sonja joked to Colton that heaven was lacking in one respect: Unlike Narnia's inhabitants, the people there didn't have swords. To the family's surprise, Colton indignantly replied that there were swords in heaven. Sonja asked why the residents of heaven needed swords, and Colton replied that there was war in Heaven to keep Satan away since he wasn't yet stuck in hell. In Todd's eyes, the idea of Lucifer in Heaven and not being in hell matched sections of the Bible that described a battle against "dark forces" taking place on Earth. Until this point, Colton hadn't mentioned Lucifer in Heaven when discussing his heavenly experience, so Todd decided to gather more information."
"He asked if Colton had seen Lucifer in heaven, and Colton replied that he had. However, when Todd pressed Colton further--asking what Satan looked like--Colton became very upset and wouldn't answer. Furthermore, he wouldn't speak about his heavenly experiences at all for the rest of the day. When Todd and Sonja asked Colton about Satan on subsequent occasions, he always had the same reaction. A few months after Colton's revelation about swords and Lucifer in Heaven, Todd and Colton were on another road trip, traveling home from a nearby city. Suddenly, Colton asked Todd if he was aware that a war was coming."
