THE ASCENSION.


THE ASCENSION.

Acts 1:9-10

9. After saying this, he was taken up to heaven as they watched him, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

10. They still had their eyes fixed on the sky as he went away, when two men dressed in white stood suddenly beside them

11.  and said, “Galileans, why are you standing there looking up at the sky?  This Jesus, who was taken away from you up into heaven, will come back in the same way you saw him go to heaven.”

Acts 9: 3-6

3. As Saul was coming near the city of Damascus, suddenly a light from the sky flashed around him.

4. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?”

5.”Who are you, Lord?” he asked. “I am Jesus, who you persecute,” the voice said.

6.”But get up and go in to the city, where you will be told what you must do.”

The following was “narrated to me” by THS. I have written it down for you.

Why was Yeshua taken UP into heaven as per above narrations? And where “UP” is heaven for that matter? 

We have already once said that Heaven is a new dimension. One “walks” into the invisible and visible side of it at God’s will all be it “in the spirit.”  But here in The Acts of the Apostles, it became necessary to show him ascending into heaven. Much later Saul heard Jesus speak from heaven, to show  he was in heaven as they were want to picture it. Why? Because if this was not shown to them, they would at the first rumour that he was somewhere in Palestine, rush to be there with him. It became necessary to enact this drama on their behalf. It was best that Yeshua disappear from their midst until they had completed the task of spreading the good news far and wide. They had work to do. Spreading the good news of baptism by THS and that it was not beyond the reach of the poorest of poor.
