Our heavenly Father has never been restricted to some "new way," or even the so-called "God-ordained way." I believe many people have been affected by these stories of near death experiences. Many people have been ministered to by angels. Some have seen God's hand in "climate change," and that has affected their hearts to believe. God has not only been "creative" in creation, but even more so in the new creation.

Maybe that is why the New Jerusalem has 12 gates.
