Come Up Here - Revelation 1:19-20; Revelation 4:1-11 - Skip Heitzig

As believers, we look forward to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and the blessed hope of eternity with Him. Unfortunately, some are put off by the idea of the rapture, because the date has been incorrectly predicted for so many years. In this message, we get a glimpse into the throne room of heaven as we anticipate the joy we'll have at the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ.
This teaching is from our series What's Next? with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Albuquerque.

9/11/17: Every time I even THINK about how close the Coming of CHRIST is I get so excited. I don't set days or dates but from the looks of things, HIS return is around the corner. I find myself even daydreaming of what it will be like when we hear that HOLY blow ( shofar ) and call by our wonderful SAVIOR, what we feel, see and think when we final look at the glorious ONE who died & rose to make all this possible for us.
Yes, it may be any day now, saints. Let's keep waiting, watching, and working w/much oil in our lamps until we leave here. Even so, come, LORD JESUS is my constant prayer. See you in the air, brothers and sisters. Maranatha.

Amen! So much Joy that "Blessed Hope" provides.

[luvndasun]

I listen every night. Thank you so much for some light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

[TedTurner]

Thank for today's teaching. I never understand why some Christians do not believe in the Rapture. They need to do a revelation study with you!

I have heard the teaching also that the 7 churches are 7 time periods in church history. Good to hear it re-enforced.

[wunparalegal]

In regards to the seven stars in His hand, Pastor Skip, the Greek word for angels (angeloi) is the same word used in Luke 1:11 when the Angel appeared to Mary. It is *not* the same word for *any* of the words in Ephesians 4:11 “he gave some apostles, prophets, evangelists pastors or preachers. So, not sure it is an earthly “messenger”, but rather, a heavenly one…

8/19/20 MARANATHA! See you in the clouds!

[snelson]

Interesting that no one has to tell John who the 24 elders are, but they do have to tell him who the people are in Revelation 7:13, 14. He KNOWS the first group in Revelation 4! And the 144, 000 in 14 are FIRSTFRUITS because this is a new dispensation of the Tribulation Saints!

3:20 Rapture:
As defined by most 'Christians' it used the Church of Philadelphia as support. The meaning is slightly different, it means the doctrine is hard to explain as it has little support as far as passages go.
However, if you consider the people who have been alive for the 1, 000 years are 'standing around' after the last fallen angel is in the fiery lake then they could use 'a lift'. The 'lift they get takes them from this earth (as immortals as they have eaten from the tree of life in Eze:47 so they are taken to that '3rd heaven' and bypass the Great White Throne event and are taken directly to New Jerusalem. Once they (the whole House of Israel and the whole of the Gentile Church) enter 'that mansion' they never leave it. The ones that enter after appearing at the Great White Throne exit the City when it lands on this earth at the end of Re:22. They are scattered across the universe. They are given in marriage so each couple will start with a barren world like Eden was at the end of day1 of creation. 4billion years later, it will look like Eden did at the end of day6 of creation. Repeat until the universe is full of life.

Isa:51:6: Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Heb:12:22-25:
But ye are come unto mount Sion,
and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,
which are written in heaven,
and to God the Judge of all,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
and to the blood of sprinkling,
that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.
For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth,
much more shall not we escape,
if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Joh:14:2:
In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.

In Isaiah:65 the start of the 1, 000 years is when the sword kills some people. It is the 2/3 that the 7 vials kill (Zec:13-14), the 1/3 are the repented Gentiles that survive the 7 vials. They eat from the tree of life after the resurrected ones from Re:20:4, as do the 12 Tribes. The new earth verses apply to the new earth after the end of Re:22. The ones that were under punishment are the ones building their own homes. That has to be the case as 'the servants' would be in Jerusalem in those verse as it is referencing New Jerusalem from Re:21.

John:14:
Once the 1, 000 year group are in New Jerusalem (end of the 1, 000 year reign) they never leave. In Isaiah:65 the people come to them. 'A month' is still 30 days, for an immortal one day is 1, 000 of our years. The visit would last 30, 000 years. Children come there at the age of 120 and eat from both trees, after that they can move between worlds as they no longer have to eat food to remain alive.
The people in New Jerusalem are not given in marriage, the same people alive at the end of the day the two witnesses are resurrected are the same number that will call New Jerusalem their 'home'. Once the children are immortal, they stop having children and enter the 'grandparent stage'. The other flesh they have dominion over will live forever as long as they eat food. That means they will stay on the world they are born on.

1Thess:4
The Church is defined as 'repented Gentiles'. The prayers (Lord's Prayer) these days are about getting sinful thoughts forgiven. Once the trumps start sounding the prayers are about physical safety in world that will be controlled by fallen angels from Ge:6. The 4 that manifest into 200M angelic horsemen are allowed to kill 1/3 of mankind. Christians also survive the 7 vials that are poured out in a few hours after the two witnesses are resurrected. (Zec:13-14 judgment) By 6PM of that same day all the Re:20:4 resurrections will have taken place. That is who will be alive for the 1, 000 years, as well as who will live in New Jerusalem during the New Earth era.
The first main even after the Eze:37 resurrection of the 12 Tribes is Jesus leads them to the tree of life in Eze:47. The Church comes from the east a month later. It takes them that long to walk there. Their missions is to be witnesses to the destruction. Eze:39 is how Israel is cleaned up after the 7 vials have destroyed Satan's kingdom. The bones that are gathered are those of the 200M horsemen.
By the time Satan is released, Jerusalem and Israel look as if they would have if sin had nevered entered the world.

3rd heaven GWT event.
The vision would be that of Mount Sion from Hebrews:12 as that is the Angels perfected Heaven they are promised. In Hebrews:12 the setting is the Great White Throne Judgment, the Angels there are the 2/3 that did not sin, they never leave, mankind is there for a short visit. For the people destined to live in New Jerusalem it is also a preview of where they will ascend to once they are as perfect as those Angels.

Re: 4-5
This is the Temple that replaced the one in Jerusalem was taken apart in 70AD. That is where prayers end up, such as in Daniel:9.
It would have been the Temple the 'sons of God' met in the Book of Jude. The 24 Elders are the OT Saints that were resurrected the same mornings as Jesus was. They ascended to this Temple while Jesus ascended to New Jerusalem and ate from the tree of life. These 24 Elders are in spirit form until they are back on earth when they eat from the Eze:47 version of the tree of life.
The Throne in the Re:4 Temple will be in Jerusalem for the 1, 000 years as the Job:1 Temple is not part of the new earth era, New Jerusalem is the Temple for that time. The Throne there is also a representation of the Re:4 Throne, that voice is that of the Holy Spirit from Ge:1:2.
The 4 Beasts in that setting are the 'parents' of God and the Holy Spirit from Ge:1. That would make them Christ's grandparents as well as what God and the Holy Spirit used as 'seeds' for all other flesh that was created in Ge:1.
That is also the Throne Satan tries to fake. It is 'the image' as well:
Re:4:5:
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:
and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,
which are the seven Spirits of God.

Re:13:14-15:
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword,
and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
M't:24:14-15:
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth,
let him understand:)
Da:11:31:
And arms shall stand on his part,
and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength,
and shall take away the daily sacrifice,
and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
2Th:2:4:
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God.

This part of preparing a place for us, this is confusing as in heaven our needs will no longer require a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, we don’t need these things there, so what dose a place really mean? A think, I’m sure, I’m positive until we are there, we have no idea as we can only use our imagination and needing a place requires maybe at most, a place of no urgency, we are no longer in need of earthly things, what could a residence in heaven have? A big wait and see❤
