wow, what a story
you saw him in a church rejoicing just few days before he died?

God chose him (he chooses us - John 15:16) and for whatever reason Benny was not yet saved before he died. He hadn't made it to a final destination yet, was just falling down a dark tunnel. God may have put him through that so he would repent and so he would be a strong witness to others. It's a powerful testimony and would lead others to Christ.
Important thing to realize is a person needs to get right with God before they die. There are no second chances if you die lost. In this incident it was not his time to die. If it were he would've gone straight to eternal darkness as a lost soul. A person should never wait until they die, hoping God will save them after death. We know after death comes judgment. The "cure" for cancer is offered now, not once you're dead.
The way God works is amazing. Aton Lavey was a famous satanist who was the founder of the church of Satan. Evangelists would visit him all the time, witnessing to him. Then when he was on his death bed he was shown hell and realized he was going there. Although satanists will deny his deathbed confession, a woman that was close to him at the time was apparently saved after hearing him screaming and crying for God to save him, as he was falling into flames. We will never know if he actually repented but it makes me wonder, as God chose to show him what was waiting for him, just before he actually died. If it actually happened then it would've been a powerful message to other satanists, but they deny it.
