Heaven

 
If you can remember what we were talking about last Sunday, we were talking about the rich young man who asked the LORD JESUS “Mar 10:17, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” Each of us loves to have a share in the Eternal life, and he loves to treasure his treasures in heaven because the LORD JESUS has said “Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Man is originally a heavenly creature and he is the only creature that looks up. To Heaven since Heaven is the promised homeland.

Heavens to the Jews are three. The sky of birds and then the sky that contains the stars and planets, and the third sky, which is Paradise, a place for the righteous to wait. And we know in Christianity the heaven of the heavens, where the throne of GOD is surrounded by the angels and the ring of heaven and the Heaven of the heavens is the home of the righteous after the glorious resurrection.Heaven has gone through three phases. The first stage is the movements of Heaven and its communication with humans on earth. We have heard about the apparitions of GOD to Abraham, Lot, and Moses in the bush that did not burn, in the time of Joshua, the LORD was talking to him, and the apparitions followed and the angels of GOD descended from Heaven with them in response to the people’s demands.
As for the second stage, which is the closing of Heaven in front of mankind, about 5000 years, the man did not enjoy all these years heavenly apparitions and messages from heaven except for one witness, It is the angel who used to descend sometimes and stir the water in the pool of Bethesda, and who descended first gets cured of any disease.
The third stage, the opening of heaven again after more than five centuries, was the beginning when the preaching Angle appeared to Zacharias the priest saying to him “Luke 1:13 But the Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.” However, Zacharias did not believe the angel’s words, and the punishment was from the LORD through the angel to remain silent until the birth of the Baptist. And Zacharias leaves the temple silently and speaks with sign language, and the people understood that he has seen a vision. And everyone is happy because the Heavens has returned to open again and everyone is waiting for the coming of the Messiah, then the heavenly openings will follow with the good news of the angel to a girl from Nazareth named Mary, and the Messiah is born in Bethlehem, and the angel appears to the shepherds, then a group of angels appear in the sky praising the LORD “Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.” Heaven opens in the baptism of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and after it, and so far, a large number of movements of heaven. So no one among us thinks that Heaven closes its gates to our requests, GOD, and even if HE delays, HE will respond. The Liturgy Psalm “You will arise and have mercy on Zion (Church) For the time to favour her, yes the set time, has come. Good News.
