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.
