Everybody Will Not Get To Heaven Part 6

Hello World:
This is part 6 of the series about getting and not getting to Heaven. Many times in the book of St. Matthew and a few times in St. John, Jesus references the kingdom of Heaven. However, in the book of St. Mark, Jesus references the kingdom of God. There are several things the Lord showed me about the two kingdoms.

We must remember that Yahweh, God, owns the universe. To be really technical about this, Everything exist in what should be considered "God's created kingdom". God's created kingdom in this post can be referred as the kingdom of God and also kingdom creation. There are smaller kingdoms inside of the kingdom of God that God has allowed. In other words, there are different parts or sections of the kingdom of God; just like there are different parts or sections of the smaller plant and animal kingdoms, according to our classifications of such.

God has originally created things orderly and organized into subdivisions. However, every part in God's kingdom creation is not Heaven; nor is every part or section in God's created kingdom in complete obedience to the will of God or intimately close to God, but in some cases as of this 2008 year in rebellion against God, the Creator of all.

An example of rebellion in God's created kingdom involves this earth world and Satan the Prince of this world as of year 2008; who is the enemy of Yahweh, God.

Satan, the enemy of Yahweh, God, has his smaller kingdom, "part" of which involves the world system on earth, which he took from Adam or man. However, Satan will fall to Jesus, again, and lose his smaller kingdoms of this world, or physical earth, hell and of the air.

Now in the future when Jesus comes back to reign on earth, He will re-establish God's kingdom on earth. In the process of re-establishing God's kingdom on earth, Jesus will put down all rebellion against God.

So it is important to note as of this year 2008 date, that the part of the kingdom of God, that "Jesus refers to in scripture" has not come yet, but again will come soon. That is why in the Lord's prayer, Jesus told us to pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven"; Scripture Reference St. Matthew 6:10 and St. Luke 11:2.

The reason why He, Jesus, said to pray those "specific" words is because one, there is a true kingdom of Heaven that is "currently" in existence; and two, that that type of kingdom has to be someday, in the future, re-established on earth; just like "it is in Heaven" quoting as Jesus said.

Now, if there is a kingdom that is "currently" in a place called Heaven, then, again, who rules that kingdom? The current kingdom of Heaven has to have a ruler, right? Yes, and the Ruler is, again, Yahweh, God. Yahweh is the same person that Jesus told His disciples and us to pray the Lord's prayer to. In the Lord's prayer, the "Our father, which art in Heaven", and "Thy" kingdom come, all refers to Yahweh, God. He is over the kingdom of Heaven. Yahweh, will re-establish His kingdom on earth, under the rulership of Jesus Christ. However, both in Heaven, on earth and anywhere else are sections of the kingdom of God.

In other words, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Heaven are similiar, but also different in that the kingdom of God is bigger in terms of space or reach than the kingdom of Heaven. However, the kingdom of Heaven is the "highest" plane or level of existence in any part of the kingdom of God.

More specifically, the kingdom of Heaven is completely spiritual and only immortal beings dwell there and are welcome there, which include translated human Believers. However, the soon "coming" kingdom of God or Christ kingdom on earth will not be completely inhabited with spiritual beings for the first 1000 years; in that there will be both immortal and mortal beings in God's kingdom on earth.

For the first 1000 years of Christ reign on earth, people in human, physical or fleshly bodies will be physically born, give physical birth and physically die. After the 1000 years, death and rebellion will be destroyed; Scripture References 1 Corinthians 15: 24-38, and Revelation 21: 4.

Again as I mentioned in the previous part 5 post, it is believed many people in God's kingdom on earth during the 1000 years could have a problem, depending on "the timing" in them accepting Jesus, in gaining access to the Heavenly kingdom.

Also, there are people during the Great Tribulation period on earth, who will not be killed by the Antichrist, who will with natural or physical bodies enter into the millennial kingdom period of Jesus Christ.

Many of those not killed during the tribulation chose to again, "wait" until things got really bad on earth during that time, who will give Jesus a "try". These are people who rebelled and acted a fool all their lives, and had no need of God, nor regarded the God of creation.

Only when things go bad, in overtime, they decide to accept God's way after the Rapture. When before, again in their hearts', they truly did not want anything to do with God. Those same ones rejected God's people when God's people spoke to them about God!

Again, when all hell breaks loose around them, then they want to change, because being without God is no longer "comfortable" for them. The Lord has told me these are many people, even today, before the Great Tribulation, who are proud of their own achievements without God, and who speak very boldy in defiance with cursings and swearings against the God of Heaven. For those people, If you do not sincerely repent and do God's will, you will be in trouble. I will pause here, and continue in part 7 on this topic on getting and not getting to Heaven soon.

Everybody Will Not Get To Heaven Part 5

Hello World:
As I start here in part 5, I want to mention something very important that every person needs to think about seriously. It is believed that the "TIME" in which a person or persons accept Jesus Christ is critical to their eternal status and plays a factor in whether or not they get to Heaven or not.

I do not want to go into alot of speculation on getting and not getting to Heaven, but! I have researched the going to Heaven situation every way you can. I have asked God questions about this. I studied His Word on this. I have studied people's personal testimonies and experiences on Heaven. I have looked at the information.

Now, the scriptures mention in the book of Revelation about Tribulation saints. There will be people who will accept Jesus during the Great Tribulation period. Many of those Tribulation saints will be beheaded or killed by the AntiChrist. Those "specific" saints will go to Heaven.

Now, I want everyone to know that I acknowledge that above paragraph and the scriptures, about Tribulation Saints going to Heaven. However, from everything I researched, including that scenario in Revelation that WILL happen, if you are alive "today", before the Great Tribulation, and you want to "wait and see" to accept Jesus "AFTER" the Rapture and during the Great Tribulation, all indications are that you are coming very close to missing God.

If you want to wait, you are really making what "could be" the worst decision of your existence. You are setting yourself up for missing out on "benefits" in eternity because you choose to wait. I am trying to word everything properly in saying all of this. Late-comers to God are setting themselves up to be least in the kingdom of Heaven, and least in the kingdom of God. Also, you may possibly even be setting yourself up to never make it to Heaven at all.

You can not expect to be rewarded like a sincere and faithful servant of the Lord, who loved the Lord with their "ALL", during most of their days. It is "DANGEROUS" to put God on hold.

This also goes for people who had opportunity after opportunity in their lives hearing about Jesus, but who decide they want to pray a salvation prayer and maybe "believe" on their deathbed. Now that you can not have no more fun, drink your beer, and be mean to people, because you are dying; now you want to "get it right with God" or "make peace with God" so to speak and go to Heaven and have "fun" up there with people who have lived Godly lives. NOT! This does not mean that God is unfair and unequal in His blessings. God is very fair and equal, however, it is "YOU", NOT God who have made a choice that puts you in an unequal position in eternity. The good thing is that you are not going to Hell. It is better to barely make it in God's kingdom, regardless of the lesser status or reward, than to not make it at all!

You late-coming types to God better watch it. I do not want to hear that eleventh hour or final hour Believers excuse either. You who are born-again or saved, after the Rapture, are not eleventh hour Saints or Believers. The eleventh hour Believers are saved before the Rapture and go up in the Rapture.

After the Rapture, you are considered OVERTIME Christians or Overtime Believers. You put God in a tie with something else in your life, and not God first. Therefore, the final score with you must be settled in the extra session. You have to go into the "overtime period", and get through that, before you are even allowed into God's kingdom and not Heaven.

Again, Jesus said everyone that saith unto Him, Lord, Lord shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Who do you think He was referring to? You need to pray to God, but prayer to God should be a major part of your life everyday.

Many "Tribulation-late comers/believers", did not put God as their FIRST PRIORITY, because if they did, they would not be around during the Tribulation in a situation where their heads get cut off in the first place. In other words, if God is not your priority now, and you want to wait, until the Antichrist comes breathing down your neck or chasing you down before you are convinced and believe in the true God; then God says you will not be His priority when He gives out His eternal benefits of goodness to sincere believers who put Him first, and actually did his will.

So, NOW is the time to accept Jesus as your Savior, not later. Also, getting yourself killed for God DOES NOT guarantee you what you think you will get or should get from God. Your SACRIFICE to Him does NOT give you "EVERLASTING LIFE", but His'(JESUS) SACRIFICE for you that saves you WHEN you "decide" to accept Jesus as the true MESSIAH! Your sacrifice is good, but you can not use your sacrifice to compete with the sacrifice of Jesus.

Another thing, I said Jesus is the way to Heaven. Jesus does not have to literally "say" in the scriptures, that He will literally take your hand and carry you into Heaven. Jesus still can do it! When I talk about the Rapture after this series, I will discuss that even though Jesus did not, literally, say it, according to Paul in the book of Thessalonians Jesus will "practically" do it. So, I will elaborate on that again later.

The important point about Jesus is this for everybody; without Jesus(Yahshua), you or I have no shot at getting to Heaven. Without Jesus, point blank, we, none of us or nobody has any shot at eternal life and being with God the Creator-Father. So, for everybody to have a shot to get to Heaven, it starts with Jesus.

Some might think or ask why I am saying shot, like it is a gamble or chance. Accepting Jesus is not a gamble. You gamble away your eternal life when you do NOT accept Him. Jesus is our hope to everlasting life with God, fulfilled. I say shot as a word to emphasize the importance of what is at stake for you. You are gambling or taking a chance by waiting and contemplating at the wrong time. That is where the gamble comes in at.

You will either hit it or get it right on target, or you will CATASTROPHICALLY miss out on God and eternal life. So, what I am talking about is very big; where your soul spends eternity is on the line, and this is NOT a joke! I mentioned earlier that some people want to wait and see later. Well, there may not be a later.

By not accepting Jesus now, you are, again, gambling your soul away from God, and into eternal suffering. Jesus is your best and sure hope that will always win and never lose. So, now is the time, before the Rapture. If you accept Jesus now at the time of this post, the way and access to Heaven and God for you will be clear for take-off. I will have a part six post of this series approaching.

Everybody Will Not Get To Heaven Part 4

Hello World:
This is part 4 of "Everybody Will Not Get To Heaven". If a person accepts Jesus into his or her heart "BEFORE" the time of the Rapture, and if that person dies "BEFORE" the Rapture, that person will go and live up in Heaven for a "good time frame".

Again, from my earlier posts in this series, we know from Revelation Chapter 19: Verse 1 that there are people in Heaven.

A person's body, being a Believer, will go into the earth, but the spiritual side of the person, the soul or the actual real person as a "Believer" will go to Heaven. Believers in Jesus, who have done the Father's will, when they die physically, will go to live in Heaven and they will live up there for years, not just for a day or a few minutes. In other words, "true" Believers and Followers will NOT be escorted quickly out of Heaven.

Now at present to this post, there are saints who are up living in Heaven from Biblical times. Jesus, when He rose from the dead took all the "Saints" of faith "in the promise to come" to Heaven. That "promise to come" was Jesus; and we know He came already and will return again. Also, it is a fact, according to the Old Testament scriptures, that Enoch and Elijah did not see death and were taken up to Heaven, before Jesus came the first time.

There is no true believer that can deny or explain away the Biblical account of Enoch and Elijah, and that there are humans who have went to Heaven to be with God; and that this is very possible. They have been living up there, according to our time frame for over "FOUR THOUSAND YEARS"! So, there are humans who have been spiritually translated and who are, again, living now IN HEAVEN.

I have also studied and researched personal testimony of people in our time who God has allowed to visit Heaven; in which, they testify to seeing people up there, who have physically passed away on earth. Now, if you believe in admitting a sensible person's testimony in a court of law as valid evidence, including your own testimony, then I believe in many of the testimony's of those "I" have studied who said they experienced Heaven.

Very soon, in a couple of weeks, hopefully, I want to make a special endtime post series on the Rapture. I have already jumped ahead on that series already here. Everybody keep seeing me mention the word Rapture, and I will talk about the significance of this endtime event. I want to say more about Enoch and Elijah in that future post.

However, it is believed based upon scriptures that many true believers right now at this time in the year 2008, will at least live up in Heaven for 7 years, at least; before "returning to earth to reign with Christ". So, that 7 years is significant.

The reason why it is believed to be 7 years, is because that is the time-frame of the Great Tribulation period, in which Believers will escape by being Raptured. However, if you do not believe you will be raptured or go to Heaven, you probably will not. I will explain that some more at another time.

Even though many believers from today will only be up in Heaven for seven years and then return to earth, you still have citizenship in Heaven, according to the scriptures in Philippians Chapter 3: Verse 20, and other scriptures from Jesus in the gospels. Also, as a Believer you definitely have permanent citizenship in God's Kingdom in eternity.

The jury, so to speak, is still out on who will inhabit the "NEW HEAVEN" in eternity. According to the scriptures, most Believers will reside on the new earth and new Jerusalem in eternity. However, the new Heaven will be inhabited by somebody!

There is nothing in the scriptures that says that the Heaven now or the new Heaven will only be inhabited by angels or non-humans. If you believe otherwise show me the scriptures on that, because I have shown scriptures on people in Heaven presently. I do believe that God will allow humans to inhabit the New Heaven just like He has allowed humans to inhabit and live in the current Heaven as of this year 2008 and previous. So, this is exciting, and you got to believe and ask the Father in Heaven for these things to happen for you!

If your heart is pure as a believer, then because He is your Heavenly Father, and you are His child, He will share with you the goodness of his dwelling place. If you do not want to believe in God or have the attitude that you want God to "do you a favor" and "impress you", then you can forget about being anywhere near God.

Because some believers do not believe in the concept of going to Heaven, is why I am posting this series. Some Believe that we will inherit God's kingdom on earth, and that is it; however, again, according to the scriptures God allows Believers into Heaven for a certain length of time also. I am going to mention later in the next couple of post in this series, about the similiarities and differences between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Heaven. I need to continue about going and not going to Heaven in the next post.

Everybody Will Not Get To Heaven Part 3

Hello World:
In the part two post on "Everybody Will Not Get To Heaven", I ended by saying that if God welcomes you into Heaven, after you die, or after the Rapture, you can then say that you have arrived. Now, I said I would explain this further. At some point each person will have to face God.

Some will face God to be accepted into Heaven, entering the everlasting joy of the Lord; and some will face God in judgement to be sent to everlasting punishment. That place where judgement will be "issued" is called the great white throne of judgement; in which that judgement event is often referred to by many as judgement day.

Scripture Reference; Revelation Chapter 20: Verse 11; "And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the Heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."

Verse 12; "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

13); "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

14); "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

15); "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Judgement day for alot of people will not be good. When a person leaves his or her body, the soul of the person will either go to be with God in Heaven, or go away from God to hell. Now, in the future on judgement day, those who have not faced God and went to hell, will be vomitted out of hell and face God to be judged.

Also, when the scriptures talk about the earth and heaven fled away from the face of God, basically, this is saying that there will be no place, in the universe or in all areas of creation, for all the bad and evil people to hide. No one can hide or escape from God, that includes people in hell.

God can find any of us at any time, but we can not always find God. God can literally reach out and touch us at any time, but we can not always reach out and touch Him.

God is the One who has all the options, and we do not. You, or any of us, will not find God, if God does not want you to find Him. That, especially, is the case for those who are in Hell or who are going into the Lake of Fire for eternity.

There are others, who when they go to meet God, God will be "very" happy with them, and reward them by permitting them access to Heaven, and making sure that they are welcomed in Heaven. Those people who believe, overcome and are faithful in doing God's will, will experience God's eternal joy and goodness.

Also, those who are poor in spirit, or always hungry and in need of more of God, and who are not satisfied with the material things and delicacies of this natural world and world system, will eternally experience God's Heavenly kingdom. Another thing, those who have a pure heart to please God will experience and inherit God's Heavenly kingdom. Please see the following scriptures.

Revelation Chapter 21: Verse 7; "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

St. Matthew Chapter 5: Verse 3; "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven."

Verse 8); "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."

I will return with part 4 of this year 2008 Heaven series soon.
