HEAVEN - 30 May 2019
DEEP into the SPIRIT OF MAN there is 'something' crying out: "THERE MUST BE MORE". There must be something more than being born, living and dying and being buried in the ground. We were MADE for SOMETHING MORE than THIS LIFE - we were made to LIVE FOREVER - we were MADE for HEAVEN.
HEAVEN is REAL ...:
Messiah Yahshua talked about HEAVEN and the KINGDOM of HEAVEN many times.
John 14:1-3 "DO NOT LET your HEARTS be TROUBLED. TRUST IN YAHWEH (God) TRUST ALSO IN Me. In My Father's HOUSE ARE MANY ROOMS; if it were not so, I would have told you. I AM GOING THERE to PREPARE a PLACE for you. And if I go and PREPARE a PLACE for you, I WILL COME BACK and TAKE YOU to BE WITH Me that you may be WHERE I AM."
HEAVEN IS JUST AS REAL a PLACE as PERTH or PRETORIA - just as REAL as the place that we ourselves call our "home" here on earth.
HEAVEN is the DWELLING PLACE of YAHWEH God (Ps. 33:13). HEAVEN in HIS KINGDOM and Phil. 3:20 says that 'our citizenship IS IN HEAVEN.'
HEAVEN is ABBA'S HOUSE (John 14:2)
HEAVEN is the PLACE where the PEOPLE (who BELIEVE and TRUST IN and RELY on YAHWEH God, MESSIAH and HIS SPIRIT) GO when they die (Phil. 1:21-23).
HEAVEN is a CITY DESIGNED AND BUILT BY YAHWEH God. (Heb. 11:10)
HEAVEN is the PLACE where MESSIAH YAHSHUA IS TODAY. (Acts 1:11).
A PICTURE of HEAVEN:
HEAVEN HAS THE GLORY - the BEAUTY - the WONDER AND SPLENDOR and MAGNIFICENCE of YAHWEH God's SHIKINAH GLORY - BRILLIANT like a JEWEL - a COSTLY stone like CRYSTAL-CLEAR JASPER - [Rev. 21:11] AND THE STREETS are PURE GOLD, LIKE TRANSPARENT GLASS [Rev. 21:21].
A GREAT AND HIGH WALL:
The EXQUISITE WALL - GREAT AND HIGH has 12 GATES ... [Rev. 21:12]
12 GATES - 12 ANGELS - 12 NAMES:
At the GATES are 12 ANGELS (GUARDING the ENTRANCE into HEAVEN through the GATES) and the NAMES of the 12 TRIBES of the son of Israel (Jacob) are WRITTEN on the GATES.
All genuine believers are going to enter through the gates of the NATION OF ISRAEL - who BIRTHED the MESSIAH - YAHSHUA - the ANOINTED ONE - son of David - son of Israel - the ONLY GATE (DOOR) - the ONLY WAY to HEAVEN.
EAST - NORTH - SOUTH - WEST GATES (DOORS) to ENTER IN:
THREE GATES are on the EAST and THREE on the NORTH and THREE on the SOUTH and THREE on the WEST - [Rev. 21:12-13]. THE TWELVE GATES were TWELVE PEARLS, EACH ONE of the GATES are a SINGLE PEARL [Rev. 12:21]. (Maybe the Eastern, Northern Southern and Western gates are to receive the people - the genuine believers - of the Eastern- Western- Northern- and Southern Hemisphere?)
Is. 43:6 "... I will say to the NORTH 'GIVE THEM UP!' and to the SOUTH 'DO NOT HOLD THEM BACK.' BRING my SONS from AFAR and My TAUGHTERS from the ENDS of the EARTH ..."
John 10:9 "I AM the DOOR (Gate). If ANYONE ENTERS BY Me, he will be SAVED ..."
THE GATES ARE NEVER CLOSED:
Beyond the GATES that are NEVER CLOSED - is the GLORIOUS LIGHT of YAHWEH GOD HIMSELF - and before we can ENTER THROUGH the GATES with our HEAVENLY "BRIDEGROOM" there is a TEST that MUST BE PASSED.
We NEED to BE HIS OWN - we NEED to be WORTHY - worthy as the "BRIDE"-people (male and female) for the HEAVENLY KING - the SON of YAHWEH GOD. We NEED to be WASHED and CLEANSED and WALKING IN HIS WAY to ENTER IN.
Rev. 21:27 "And NOTHING UNCLEAN, and NO ONE who PRACTICES ABOMINATION and LYING, SHALL EVER COME INTO IT, but ONLY THOSE WHOSE NAMES ARE WRITTEN in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE."
TWELVE FOUNDATION STONES adorned with precious jewels:
The WALL had twelve FOUNDATION STONES and on the STONES are the NAMES of the TWELVE APOSTLES of the LAMB of Yahweh God - [Rev. 12:14]. THE FOUNDATION STONES were ADORNED with EVERY KIND OF PRECIOUS STONES - JASPER - SAPPHIRE - CHALCEDONY - EMERALD - SARDONYX - SARDIUS - CHRYSOLITE - BERYL - TOPAZ - CHRYSOPRASE - JACINTH and AMETHYST [Rev. 12:19].
Eph. 2:20 "You are BUILT upon the FOUNDATION of the APOSTLES and d the PROPHETS, with Messiah Yahshua Himself as the CHIEF CORNERSTONE."
MESSIAH YAHSHUA WANTS to DWELL WITH US - HE LONGS to DWELL WITH EACH ONE OF US - for HE IS OUR CREATOR - HE LOVES US - EACH ONE OF US and a HEAVENLY "BRIDAL CHAMBER" is WAITING where our beloved Messiah WANTS to WELCOMES each one of us INTO HIS PRESENCE. It is a GLORIOUS PLACE waiting for us ...
O Abba, I pray for open minds, ears and eyes - spiritual ears to RECEIVE the TRUTH of YOUR WORD - hunger hearts to RECEIVE YOUR SON - I pray for PRISON DOORS to FLUNG OPEN - BONDAGES to be BROKEN DOWN and TRUTH to COME IN - IN YAHSHUA MESSIAH'S NAME. Amen.
