Walking in the Dark with Faith

The Lord Jesus called the apostle John to come up into what we consider the “third heaven”, and when he did so, the Spirit of God took him.

The two witnesses (Rev. 11) after they were murdered and laid in the street for three and a half days, just as it happened in Genesis, the breath of LIFE from the Lord God entered them, and they were also called back up into heaven by those words, “Come up here!”

So the words, “Come up here” are not written just once but twice.

And both times the Holy Spirit transports them up into heaven.

Where else in Scripture did that happen?

Acts 1:9-11, when the Lord Jesus was taken up from the disciples into heaven and disappeared in the clouds.
The angels that stood by told the disciples that the Lord Jesus would return in the same fashion as they saw Him go into heaven.

I just thought I would share this with you and give you something to think about.

I included the Greek because unfortunately the Aramaic from the Peshitta is not available for me to just copy and paste here. Nevertheless, I added the Greek because that is one of the original languages that the book of Revelation was written in/translated into.

That “loud voice” was also attributed to the Lord Jesus in Matthew 27:46,50; Mark 15:34; Luke 23:46; John 11:43; Revelation 1:10. Revelation 21:5 is not necessarily in “red” as some Bibles portray Jesus’ words, because some believe those are the words of God the Father stating that, since the beginning of verse five says, “And He who was seated on the throne…”

Nevertheless, I think it would be good for everyone to sit back, read these verses, meditate on them, pray about them and have a conversation with the Holy Spirit. Maybe even do your own little Bible study on them.

The bottom line is, we are first and foremost, SPIRIT, then SOUL, then BODY (1Thess. 5:23).

Ecclesiastes 12:7 tells us plainly that the spirit returns to God.

When we each leave this earth, no one knows. Only the LORD knows our final day here.
But we do know it will happen One Day.

I just pray that you all-we all-will be ready when it is our Time to be “called up” & stand before the Throne of Lord Jesus at the time of Judgement.
