Finding Heaven

[Bob Estey]

Does God take us to heaven, or does he lead us there? (In other words, do we have to find heaven for ourselves?)

The bible teaches 144,000 are bought from the earth=Rev 14:3-These are the anointed bride of Christ=The little flock( Luke 12:32)--The great crowd( Rev 7:9) of other sheep( John 10:16) who are not of that fold, will inherit the earth(Matt 5:5,Psalm 37:29) and reside forever upon it-These no man can number, the little flock is numbered( 144,000)--No where does it say the great crowd goes to heaven. Blind guides tell all they will go to heaven.

Do those 144,000 go to heaven because they find it or because God takes them there?

The remaining ones on earth( few) will be taken, changed in the twinkling of an eye, during the tribulation. Many of them lived in Jesus' day or have already died.

He does both. He leads us to embrace His Son as our Salvation. We then have legal Salvation. And because of this He will take us to Himself to give us new immortal bodies. Then we will inherit a new, purified earth.

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8​

I love you giving a scripture answer like this... the word "ask" is in gospels 47 times.. heck I have even prayed and ask Father to be in the book of life and not blotted out.

God promised to take them there changing them in the twinkling of an eye.( The ones living during the tribulation)

Does it take any effort by the 144,000?
