Born: May 21, 1867, near Enkopking, Sweden.
Died: May 24, 1927, Uddevalla, Sweden.
After emigrating to America in the 1890’s, Blom joined the Salvation Army in Chicago, Illinois. Afterwards, he attended North Park College and Seminary, then served as a minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church. However, he fell away from the Gospel, and ended up in prison:
I drifted from God, and became embittered with myself and the world.
After leaving prison, Blom underwent a spiritual revival, and wrote the “He the Pearly Gates Will Open” to describe his rebirth. He went on to serve as pastor at a Swedish Congregational Church in Pennsylvania before returning to his native Sweden in 1921.
