LIFE IN HEAVEN – PART THIRTY
Saturday – November 17, 2018, Kislev 9, 5779
Greetings and welcome back to this very stimulating and thought-provoking study of Life in Heaven. We are now dealing with the fifth time-frame which is the one in which you and I are now living.
TIME FRAME FIVE
Ephesians 4:8 to 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 17
JESUS BLOOD ON THE MERCY SEAT TO THE CATCHING AWAY
As you will recall I have been teaching about the seven pillars of Heaven and earth. These pillars in Heaven and earth provide organization and order.
Proverbs 9:1 (KJV)
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
The seven pillars established by God, by Wisdom, are as follows; 1. Religion, 2. Government, 3. Media and Information, 4. Education and Science, 5. Business and Finance, 6. family, and 7. Arts and entertainment. Seven is the number of spiritual completions.
Education and Science – Continued
When I left off last Saturday I was teaching about the Pillar of Education and Science so this is where I will resume today. We tend to think of Heaven as a totally spiritually place however it is both a physical and a spiritual place. On the physical side there are the many resurrected persons brought to Heaven at the Resurrection of Jesus. They are the first wave of the First Resurrection and they have a body uncorrupted like that of Jesus and like we will receive at the Catching away. Recall that there are at least two natural persons there, Enoch, and Elijah. And of course, we cannot overlook Jesus Himself who has a natural body albeit it uncorrupted. Remember that Adam had a natural uncorrupted body before sin and that body was sustained with natural foods in the Garden of Eden. The Ark of the Covenant is in Heaven, the Heavenly one (spiritual with Jesus’ physical blood upon it) and the earthly one (physical). The physical trees of the Garden of Eden were given by God for sustenance of the natural man at creation and are now in heaven including the tree of life. The rest of Heaven is spirit.
Being of spiritual material does not mean that it is loosie goosy having no substance. Spiritual material cannot be measured by physical senses or instruments. Spiritual substance is every bit as solid or real as physical substance. Our spirit man can walk on a spiritual street in Heaven just as easily as our physical man can walk on an earthly sidewalk. People who die today arrive in Heaven as purely spiritual beings (spirit and soul), they and we if we go by way of the grave will receive glorified or uncorrupted bodies at the Catching away, the second wave of the First Resurrection. If we arrive in Heaven before the Catching Away of the Church the five senses of our spirit body (unhindered by the physical body) will be intact and they will be a thousand times (probably infinitely, an indefinable number) better than the natural senses we had all our natural lives. By the way these senses once free of our very corrupted physical bodies function like we have never thought possible in this physical realm and then in Heaven. We will not fall through the streets or float in the atmosphere of Heaven for it is made for the physical and the spiritual.
In Heaven we will need a lot of education concerning science. We will be instructed and understand how all things work and how the Words of Jesus are holding all things together. What an exciting time this will be with the unraveling of all the mysteries of the universes. We will be able to read and understand the most complex science manuals that are way beyond the best minds in the earth today. Not only that but like the first Adam and the last Adam (Christ Jesus) with our natural and spiritual understanding we will discuss these things with our Heavenly Father, with Jesus, and with Holy Spirit. Oh, can we even start to imagine what a time this will be?
As I close for this week and finish the discussion on Science and Education before our imaginations cool off let me present something to you. In this fifth time period there are at least two natural people, many resurrected whole persons with uncorrupted bodies, there is Jesus with an uncorrupted body, and many purely spiritual persons awaiting an uncorrupted body. In terms of spiritual and physical structure not position (in Christ Jesus) the Old Testament saints in Heaven are like Adam and Eve. Adams and our spiritual food is the Word of God. Adam and Eve were provided with natural foods for their physical bodies. Their physical bodies were perfect in function and the physical foods they were to eat were also perfect in every way. The Garden of Eden was an extension of and contiguous with Heaven at that time. There is no waste with God. So, let me ask this, did Adam and Eve before sin and corruption of all things produce waste? Did the animals of the garden and the fish of the sea produce waste? Did they go to the bathroom? Is there an elaborate septic system in Heaven? Will all of our mansions have wonderfully beautiful bathrooms? What about showers, will we have huge beautiful showers and soaking tubs for bathing to cleanse? The answer is NO! The production of waste would indicate a corruption of either the food or the persons physical body and that did not exist in the Garden and does not exist in Heaven today or ever.
Until our next publication, confess the following passage and walk before Whom we have to do with great rejoicing and thanksgiving. This physical body is our humiliation but soon it will be no more for the glory of God and our eternal benefit.
John 14:1-4 (KJV)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
