SHALOM
Hi David…Thanks.
As is every Scriptural Book, Title, Chapter, Verse, a great Start… for Revealing tid-bits of Knowledge…That That Knowledge IS the Catalyst… to Stir MORE Questions, for MORE knowledge to be discovered.
Meaning… Terms are mentioned…
Church;
Saints, Brethren, holy Brethren;
Following;
Coming;
Wrath;
Etc.
How I study, is to read the Book, Title, Chapters, Verses… and Break down… which TERMS ( the What) Apply TO Whom, When and Why.
* To your First Point…
“The Coming of Christ”…
To my benefit, I find it necessary to Know…
Where Christ IS…
Where Christ is Coming FROM…
Where Christ IS Coming TO…
And for WHAT PURPOSE…
To THAT Point… my understanding IS:
Christ is Coming From WHERE He IS.
Christ IS:
Seated Next TO God.
God IS IN “Heaven” <—-> Singular Heaven.
Gods “Estate” Singular Heaven, Reserved For God Only..( not angels, not men)…
IS…
The Heaven ABOVE the Heaven(s).
Thus…
THAT IS Where Christ Shall Come FROM.
Now consider…Where / What… Christ must pass Through / By…. When He Leaves Heaven Above the Heavens…
3rd Heaven?
Yes.
Does Christ Pause / Stop There?
No indication reveals a pause of stop there.
Does Anything indicate “They” in the 3rd Heaven “JOIN” / “Follow” Christ where He is going /Coming To?
Yes.
Who?
(under His Authority)…holy Angel Servants….Follow and Serve Christ.
Whose Estate IS the 3rd Heaven?
Holy Angels.
Must Christ “summon / call them “?
No
They Follow Him, where He Goes, and They Can Go.
Can they Go to The Heaven Above the Heavens?
No.
Can they Go to The Heavens Below the 3rd Heaven?
Yes.
When Christ IS coming From the Heaven Above the Heavens… And is Passing Through the 3rd Heaven…
Do they THEN Follow Christ?
Yes.
THEN, To Where (are they Going / Coming)…
To?…the 2nd Heaven?
Yes.
Do they (pause, stop) There?
No off hand indication, THEY pause or stop There.
THEN, To Where (are they Going / Coming) To? … the Lowest to Earth 1st Heaven?
Yes.
Do they (pause, stop) There?
Yes.
Why?
The Why, is greatly Detailed in Scriptural Knowledge…
It IS expressly Detailed…
Christs’ intent, purpose, for pausing / stopping in the First (lowest heaven above Earth)…per His Coming From the Heaven Above the Heaven(S).
As Well, it is expressly Detailed in Scripture…
*WHO, is summed From the Earth UP to Him.
*WHY, THEY only ARE summoned.
*WHEN (broadly) THEY ARE Summoned Up.
*HOW Long (broadly) it will Take the Summoned TO transport FROM Earth TO the 1st Lower Heaven.
*WHAT precisely the summoned SEE for the First Time.
*WHY the summoned CAN SEE, what they have NOT BEFORE seen.
*WHAT the summoned SHALL DO
There in the 1st Heaven.
*HOW LONG, the summoned Stay with Christ IN the 1st, lowest to Earth Heaven…
*AND…WHY.
*WHEN the summoned SHALL Return TO Earth…
*WITH WHOM…
*WHY…
*WHAT… they Shall then DO…back ON Earth.
*WHY…
By my perspective / understanding / This Knowledge is Paramount, to Know, Believe, Trust the Source, Be Committed…
To know where an individual mans OWN Standing IS, and IF an individual man HAS or HAS NOT… committed, to BE among THEM, and Accounted WITH “THEM” …
Christ the Lords “coming”… IS the same Way He Left Earth…
From Earth…
To 1st Lower Heaven…clouds
To 2nd Mid Heaven…
a place (“having not yet been prepared” )for saved departed souls.
( AS Jesus noted, at His Return from Earth to Heaven He would prepare a place For Them…)
THEM (departed saved souls, “were” IN a comfort side of Hell, waiting For Christ to Descend / Come to Hell, Rescue them, And send them (saved souls) to a prepared place)… and
(They’re waiting There…Why?
Because Jesus is First in all things…
Meaning Jesus’ Soul HAD to Have Risen Up To Heaven… Before Their Saved souls Could Rise up to Heaven, TO Which Heaven?
(2nd Heaven).
* And Jesus Continued..To 3rd Heaven …holy Angels Estate / Stars
* And Jesus To The Heaven Above the Heaven(s), Gods Estate….Where He Was Before He Was Sent to Earth…
(IN a body God prepared for When He would Be on Earth).
Point… Christs “coming”… begins From Where He IS:
AND Ends When He “Returns (Feet Touch) TO Earth”.
What Occurs… Before His “COM-ING”…
AND
What Occurs … During His “COM- ING”
AND
What Occurs … AFTER His “RETURN”…
It Is Paramount Per each individuals “Standing”;
Non- Believer?
Following Believer in God?
Remain a believer?
Follower Who then Quit, Rejected God?
Following Believer in Christ?
Follower who remained Following Christ?
Follower Who then Quit, Rejected Christ?
Following Believer in something, but unsure What or Whom?
Following Believer IN God, Believes in Jesus’ Existence…but unsure about Belief in WHO Jesus IS?
Following Believer Who Committed Belief IN Christ?
FREEWILL of man’s Beliefs. Have Anciently, Historically, modernly… run the gambit… per each individual…
IT IS… precisely, WHAT / WHERE any mans individual STANDING (Heartful Belief IS) at the time of his “bodily death”…
Which Shall Determine…THAT man’s ETERNAL Fate.
It IS the Scriptural (bit by bit) Knowledge, by which ANY man…CAN, discover…WHAT Does, Will Apply to him… Based on his Own beliefs or lack thereof…And IF and WHEN he “commits to such beliefs.” ( or not).
I have read, studied the knowledge bit by bit, learned the Offerings, learned the differences between HOPE and ASSURANCE, learned;
What, How, When, Where, Why…my Choices, For my Standing WAS MADE, IS ESTABLISHED, IS IRREVOCABLE…
And What, When, Why…
Speaking for myself…
I presently… Have Tribulations and know With Whom…
I presently… Wait patiently, (Already with Him IN Spirit)…
Waiting…To Respond TO Christ the Lords summoning me ( wholly, body, soul, spirit ) TO Him, when He has come to the Lower 1st Heaven).
Glory to God,
Taken
