Beloved Blessed Kingdom Comrades @ Zion: Compliments Of The Fresh, Dazzling & Glorious Season Of Realization Of Our Blessed Kingdom Hope @ Zion By Lord Christ De Messiah, The Saviour Of Mankind!
Congratulations 🎆 On Your Divine Blessedness, Favour, Exploits & Prosperity By God The Father, Thru His Most Merciful Son, Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua!
Previously, we had an interesting concise introductory approach to our theme of sacred discussion on the Glory Of Heaven, by a revelation of the First Heaven, subsequent to our sacred Talk on the Horror Of Hellfire.
It remains, therefore, to advance in this expository sacred discourse on HEAVEN Of HEAVENS as God's Masterpiece Of Creation, besides a brief revelation of the final destination of the 😈 Devil & the Wicked Rebels or Sinners, otherwise called HELLFIRE.
For Heaven, is the glorious Dwelling Place of God & the Blessed Abode of the faithful Kingdom Saints @ Zion.
Interestingly, the final flowering of the blessed Christian & ZIONIST Hope consisted in participation in the Divine nature & in the Blessed Immortality of God. The eternal Salvation of the Righteous will take the form of that Incorruptibility which Fellowship with God will impart; when the Divine Image & Likeness have been restored in a man he becomes capable of "seeing perfect things" & after the Resurrection will receive a blessed Immortality. The Grace of The Spirit already @ work in us, will, when fully given make us perfect according to The Father's Will for it will restore man to God's Image & Likeness. After the Resurrection God will cause His Kingdom Saints & Favoured Kingdom Associates @ Zion to share in His Own Privilege of Incorruptibility. This will be the effect of the Vision of God which, out of sheer goodness, The Father will bestow on the Elect; for those who see God are within God sharing His Glory.
Alleluia!! Amen.
We understand that the 👀 eyes of the Redeemed in Lord Christ De Messiah would be transfigured & glorified as a result of their Resurrection & with them they might well see God everywhere present in the New Heaven & 🌍 Earth, just as men here & now distinctly apprehend the life of other person's in & thru their bodies.
The chief enjoyment of Heaven, or the City of God, will lie in praising God: "He shall be the END of our Desires Who shall be contemplated without ceasing, loved without cloy & praised without weariness".
Indeed, there will be degrees of honour in Heaven, based on one's merit but there will be no jealousy; and Free-will would not only continue to be exercised by the Kingdom Saints, but will be more truly free because liberated from delights in sinning.
THE SECOND (2ND) HEAVEN
Having had a theological revelation of The First Heaven, permit me to advance forthwith into the next Heavenly Territory, which is the Second Heaven of Heavens.
The Second Heaven is the unfortunate habitation of fallen angelic Beings, the Apostates, who disobeyed God's Command. It is an estate filled with darkness that exceeds the earthly darkness.
Certainly, the Second Heaven is an unfavourable estate reserved for rebellious 😇 angels who abandoned their original abode & came down to 🌍 Earth & had immoral affairs with the daughters of men (Jude 6). These are held prisoners, hanging, watched & awaiting the great & boundless judgment of the Great Day of The LORD.
While in chains, these rebellious angels ceaselessly weep in their tortures arising from their disobedience to God's Commands & their having opted for their own counsel & will whereby they turned away with their Prince, Satan, who also is held prisoner, fastened, in the Fifth Heaven.
THE THIRD (3RD) HEAVEN
The Third Heaven is splendid, blessed abode of eternal inheritance prepared for the Righteous who manifest heroic Virtues of Endurance, Patience, Compassion, Hospitality, Innocence & Perfection, Giving, Philanthropy, Hatred of 😈 Evil & Injustice, Love, as well as for true Servants of God
The Third Heaven is adorned with sweet-smelling trees, bearing various sweet-smelling fruits as well as bubbling & fragrant appetizing foods of incomparable goodness & exhalation.
In the midst of the Trees of Eden lies the 🌲 Tree of Life, whereon The LORD rests whenever He goes up into PARADISE. Indeed, the 🌲 Tree of Life is of ineffable fragrance, goodness & beauty, being adorned more than anything else on 🌍 Earth. Each side of the Tree of Life has a golden appearance & vermilion & fiery form covering all & with various fruits of quality produce in all goodness & nourishment, blessed & highly productive.
Behold, the PARADISE in the Third Heaven lies between Corruptibility & Incorruptibility. Besides, there are Two ♨ Springs issuing forth Milk & 🍯 Honey as well as Oil & 🍷 Wine. These distinguish themselves into four different kinds each parting round in its quiet route & eventually flowing into the Paradise of Eden, which is between Corruptibility & Incorruptibility. These ♨ Springs have their flowing movements all along the entire Earth in a circular revolution.
Moreover, there are obvious numerical strength of three Hundred Heavenly 😇 😇 😇 Angels, 🔆 bright & beautiful, keeping the Garden of Eden, and who are ceaselessly worshipping The LORD in continuous melodious Songs; and with golden Voices, without weariness.
THE LOCATION OF HELLFIRE
- The horrible habitation reserved for the Devil, his agents & all the wicked, otherwise called Hellfire, is located @ the northern side of the Paradise @ Third Heaven. The Hellfire, in fact, consists of a very terrible place of all kinds of tortures: in cruel darkness & non-illuminating gloom without light but murky fire that constantly flames aloft, and with a fiery river coming forth, while everywhere is occupied with fire, frost & ice & with thirst & shivering & the bonds are quite cruel, while the Angels therein are merciless & fearful, bearing angry weapons of merciless torture. This is the place prepared for those who dishonour God, practising Sin against nature, which is child-corruption, similar to the Sodomites; those who practice magic arts, enchantments & devilish witchcraft & boasting; those who steal & tell lies, the envious, calumnies, rancour, fornication, murder & the accursed soul-stealers & those who defraud the poor, to wax strong in riches & other kinds of devilish oppressions, those who dishonour God by worshipping man-made idols.Unto all these are prepared the Hellfire for their eternal inheritance, a horrible, sorrowful destructive place.
THE FOURTH (4TH) HEAVEN
The Fourth Heaven is purely a domain of the glory of the Sun & Moon in all their successive rotations & revolutions, and with dynamic Rays of Light of which the Sun is greater than the Moon.
The Rays of the Light of the luminaries have circular form and with regular movement on the wheels, similar to the movement of the wind in its very marvellous speed, restlessly, on daily basis.
- The movement of the Sun's Rays of Light are accompanied by Four Great STARS,and each of these STARS has a thousand Stars under it, on the side of the Wheel, by the Right. And, similarly, there are Four Great STARS, and each STAR has a thousand Stars under it, on the Left side of the Wheel. Thus, all together, there are Eight Thousand STARS issuing forth ceaselessly with the Sun.
Moreover, each DAY has fifteen myriads of Angels that attend it, while a thousand myriads attend the NIGHT. And, there are Six-winged Ones that accompany the Angels before the Sun's Wheel unto the fiery flames, while a Hundred Angels kindle the Sun & set its Light.
In fact, there are lots of structural & phenomenonl complexities & wonders that attend the Sun in its make up & in its movements in revolution, as it rises under the Heaven, and with its course stretching under the Earth with the light of its Rays, without ceasing.
Of course, I may not have space here to reveal much of the order & operations of the Sun & the Moon in their respective rotatory movements, with their attendants thereof as well as their respective functions in determining the various Seasons, Years, Months, Weeks, Days & Hours on Earth; but I may have space & time here to add that in the midst of the Heavens, there are armed Divine Soldiers serving The LORD, with organs, tympana & sweet, incessant Voice & in various Singing that is ineffable, being so marvelous, wonderful, great & glorious for human mind to grasp; and yet very delightful, thrilling & interesting, to God's Glory.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
AN URGENT GLORIOUS CALL TO MAKE A WISE CHOICE OF HEAVEN @ ZION IN GLORY
From the foregoing, it is, no doubt, imperative for all men & women that dwell on Earth to consider & effect a prudent & worthwhile CHOICE of Glory in Heaven @ Holy Zion of Jerusalem Above, namely, The Kingdom Of God, wherein Blessedness, Peace, Love, Happiness, Goodness, Eternal Life & Inheritance, in Bliss & Glory dwells as the Eternal Rewards unto the faithful Kingdom Saints cum Heavenly Associates @ Zion of Jerusalem Above.
This wise & worthwhile blessed Choice of Glory in Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah implies a total rejection of the fate of the unrighteous, wicked sinners & agents of darkness unto whom is Hellfire, a damnable place of terrible tortures, sorrow, mourning & eternal punishment & doom.
Behold, The Lord of the entire Universe comes again in the Cloud of Heaven @ Spiritual Zion. Certainly, He comes again as "Judge of the living & the dead". God Who sent His Son as Saviour, will send Him again as Judge. He will separate the Good from the Bad & sort out the confusion in which they have lived on Earth. Each person will receive according to his deeds. If he be Good, his Righteousness will go before him, but if he be Evil, the recompense of his Evil is in store for him. Destruction & death will be the lot of the wicked, the impenitent, false teachers & those who rejected God, they will perish eternally.
They Righteous, on the other hand, have "Incorruptibility & Eternal Life" laid up for them, their reward is "Life in immortality" & they will be made manifest in the Visitation of the Kingdom of God. They will dwell with the Angels & will have everlasting Joy to crown their Sufferings & Trials. At the same time Heaven & Earth will melt away like lead melting in a furnace.
The cosmic order as we know it must be transformed & so make fit for God's Elect, even the Kingdom Saints @ Heavenly Zion.
Certainly, Lord Christ De Messiah comes again in His Glory in His Holy Sabbath Millennium Kingdom Reign on Earth. He comes again with His angelic Hosts; the dead, both the Just & Unjust, will be raised, and in the general Judgement which follows, the Unjust will be consigned body & soul to eternal fire & torment, and a universal conflagration will bring the World to an END.
The Lord Christ De Messiah's former coming was enacted @ the Incarnation but the latter will take place in Jerusalem in Glory Above, where He will be recognized by the Jews who dishonoured Him as the Sacrifice which avails for all penitent sinners & He will eat & drink with His Disciples & He will reign in the World a Thousand Years.
Thus, The Son of God appearing @ the beginning of the Seventh Millennium would reign with the Just until a new Universe was called into existence @ the commencement of the Eighth Millennium.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
SHALOM TO U ALL, IN IMMACULATE WHITE LOVE!
