Where is Heaven?
Now first and foremost, Heaven is not real estate, but where God dwells, but where is that, as He fills all space? God dwells in the Spirit. Now there are three Heavens and three hells..
The first Heaven is the atmosphere, the second Heaven is outerspace, and the third Heaven is the Spirit of God. When Jesus started preaching, He said; repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Close by. About to open its gates.
John 3; 13- And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven. He was standing on the earth, but He lived in the Spirit. See that?
In Matthew 16 is where Jesus told Peter he gave him the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and Acts 2:38, Peter put the Keys in the Door of the Spirit of God where a believer can live in the Spirit, and therefore live in heavenly places with God. Jesus even told Peter that My Father revealed to you who I Am, that is My Father who is in Heaven, or in the Spirit, has revealed to your Spirit who I am.
Now Matthew 1:18, 23 says Mary got pregnant by the Holy Ghost, and that makes the Holy Ghost the Father of Jesus Christ. Luke 4 says Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost. John 14:10 speaks of the Father that dwelled in Him to do the works that He done.
Most people can understand God being a Father, and God being the Holy Ghost, or a Spirit, built its hard for people to understand God being a Son without being another person.
The Spirit created in Mary’s womb all that was need for Jesus to be born.
So when Jesus was born, it was God Himself becoming a man, kinfolk to man, so He came down to save us and deliver us Himself.
A Son, or one born by the Spirit of God, born into flesh.
Hebrews 2; 14 says that the children being partakers of flesh and blood, He (God) done the same that through death He could destroy the works of The Devil was born in the flesh.
A will is no good for inheritance unless the Father of the will dies. The Bible is God’s Will, and unless the God of the Entire Bible has died, the Bible does not have the Power of Inheriting Eternal life. God could not die in the Spirit realm, so the only way for God to die, He had to become a man.
After the funeral, the lawyers write and read the will to the members named in that will. The Apostles were the Lawyers who wrote the will and read it many years ago to the whosoever will believe, love and obey. So when you look at the Bible promises, it is not because you deserve anything, but because your Father has died and left you His Will, and that will in now in power, if you love and believe.
Now there are three hells. Jesus the gates of hell shall not prevail over His gate to Heaven, as that is the Truth revealed in Acts 2; 38. The gates of hell that was against Him was the religious groups of His day. Anything added to the Bible Words, or any Words left out is a gate to hell.
You can have hell in your heart, or you can have Heaven in your heart, its your choice. I want my choice to be Jesus Christ, my all in all.
Then the third hell, the lowest, the jail house for religious liars, sinners, thieves, etc.
Here is the way to understand the Scriptures.
In Revelation 21, you see where God talks about a New Heaven and a New earth, and One that sat upon the Throne. Notice the One, and not three thrones and three Gods.
He said in this chapter, that He was the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Verses 5 and 6. Notice what the Bible says in the next verse, as he that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be His God, and he shall be My Son.
But you see the Bible does not say what His Name is, so let us go to revelation 1; 7 and 8 to let the Bible interpret itself, and that way you get your answer from God and not from man.
Here in verse 7 we read that He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and also the ones that pierced Him. See that clue to who this is?
Verse 8 reads like this; I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Notice Alpha and Omega is the first and the last letter in the Greek Alphabet, and in English it is from A to Z. The whole thing. The only God there is. I have the Holy Ghost, and that is Jesus Christ in Spirit form, and then people ask you have you received Jesus as your personal Savior?
1 Cor. 13:5 says this- Examine yourselves to see if you are in the Faith. Know ye not yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be called a reprobate?
