LIFE IN HEAVEN – PART TWENTY-NINE
Saturday – November 10, 2018, Kislev 2, 5779
Greetings dear brothers and sisters and welcome back to this intriguing and illuminating Bible Study of Life in Heaven. We are currently exploring the fifth time-frame which is the one in which we now live. Also, we are now exploring the seven pillars of society in Heaven and in the earth.
TIME FRAME FIVE
Ephesians 4:8 to 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 17
JESUS BLOOD ON THE MERCY SEAT TO THE CATCHING AWAY
By way of reminder the seven pillars are listed below and we are picking up today with the Education and Science Pillar.
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 Pillar
What we refuse to give heed to here will be taught in Heaven. There is no substitute for knowledge; it is indeed the key to all things spiritual and physical. All of the ranting about the unimportance of education in the Church will have given way to extensive education. The Church unfortunately has not promoted education just saying it is enough to love the Lord. The fallacy of this approach is that all things physical originate in the spiritual realm and follow the same laws. Scripture (Romans 1:20) tells us that if we understand the operations of the physical we will have greater insight to that which we cannot see, the spiritual. While it is true you do not have to have a doctorate in a certain discipline here for effective service in the Kingdom of God we must be developing a doctorate concerning our God for effective service. The other issue of paramount significance that loving the Lord at its core has to do with obeying Him and how can one do that without knowledge. Why is it that God’s people are being destroyed and almost no one is doing the works Jesus did and the greater works?
Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Not only do the people of God not pursue knowledge and therefore lack knowledge but they are rejecting knowledge. We know this is true by just observing the lives of Christians around about us. I have been in many situations over the years of attempting to bring knowledge to the people of God but they would not receive it, effectively rejecting it. They prefer to dance and sing (no problem when combined with an avid hunger for knowledge and obedience to that knowledge of God’s ways) and wonder why they have poverty with sickness and disease. Let’s just decide today that we are going to get the thoughts of God, speak them, and do them to further this Kingdom and bring ourselves higher the rankings of earth and Heaven. In the following portion of Scripture notice the phrases “in the knowledge of him” and “the eyes of your understanding being enlightened”.
Ephesians 1:17-18 (KJV)
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And just how does this knowledge, knowing, and understanding come? It is not only by divine download either here in the earth or in Heaven (albeit much easier in Heaven). We must study, He will guide our study, our lines of inquiry and in the midst of our diligence He will provide insights to divine connections (what we call revelation knowledge).
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Godly faith and love are impossible without knowledge. Without knowledge we do not know what to believe and without knowledge we do not know what the will of God is. So, there will be classes ongoing in Heaven until we are all up to speed then continuing for eternity. The educational level we have on arrival in Heaven is a major determinate in our rank, our assignment, and how quickly we get to see our Heavenly Father. The major determinate will be our level of obedience (love – agape) we practiced in the earth.
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.
