1 | After death do angels take us to God? | Matt 13:36 | Ray | 145865 | ||
Hi child of light 777, The Matthew 13:30 phrase that you see clearly as the angels taking us up into heaven, "gather the wheat into my barn", may indeed mean that. However, it could also mean that the angels were gathering the wheat "together" in the barn. The explanation of the parable in Matthew 13 does not include information about the wheat and angels. So, I would say that we can not say definately that the angels carried them. The stress of the passage seems to be the activity of the angels in gathering together the tares, those who commit lawlessnes (verse 41) and does not speak to any activity with the righteous. Similarly, the parable about the fish in the net speaks about taking the wicked from among the righteous to cast them into the furnace of fire but it does not speak about any activity of the angels with the righteous. Now this is not to say that the angels are not to have this activity of carrying the righteous, I am just saying that the passage does not say that. We do better to look at a verse like Pastor Glenn contributed, Luke 16:22, where the words are actually used. P.S. Thank you, dino, for your prayers and encouragement. Each day for me is a miracle in that I am in my second "bonus" year for my cancer. My PSA is now sky high and I am taking some very strong chemo therapy and experiencing tiredness and some nausea; however I am pretty much pain free and mobile, being able to participate in various activities. God has been good. From the heart, Ray |

Part Two Now, again we restate the following, as the only possible way to understand this clear and simple passage… as it is written: “'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.'" (The Holy Bible-NASB-Matthew 13:30) 38and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. 40"So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. 41"The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43"Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father He who has ears, let him hear. (The Holy Bible-NASB-Matthew 13:38-43) Brother, there is no other way to see this simple passage, for the angels are the reapers, who not only bring the sons of the evil one to the pit of fire, but are clearly told to bring the sons of the kingdom into His barn, which in verse 43 is stated as “the kingdom of their Father.” We pray this time, you have ears to hear! Pastor Glenn, simply supports what the Holy Spirit clearly told us about the parable of the “Tares among Wheat,” with his contribution of Luke 16:22. Therefore, proving that we must read God’s Holy Word with the help of the Holy Spirit, in order to grasp God’s simple truth or truly miss the mark. Remember beloved, God’s truth is always a truth, my brother! Hopefully, we can touch, through the many miles between us, and agree on this most important of all points? For, truly we have just begun, and there is so much more we wish to share with you all, in spirit and in truth on this forum, but if this becomes a battle of egos, we shall tire of it quickly and move on, leaving you all to your endless debates and mind games. In closing beloved, the angel had a message that is specifically for you my brother, concerning your reply to our Holy Spirit inspired prayer. 13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. (1 John 5:13-15 NASB) Now, read the prayer again my brother and this time believe it in faith, act upon it, and it will come true beloved! Stop settling for less than God’s best, expect a miracle, He wants you to be whole and completely healed, so that you can be with your family in loving support and continue to spread the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus, to the four corners of the earth! Stop playing around beloved, and make Eloheinu (our God) and His beloved Son a daily reality in your life, for the angel tells us you have just been skimming the surface, my brother. You must truly believe that it is our divine birthright as sons of the Living God, to live each day, filled with His Holy Spirit, walking fully in the presence of His light, love and abundant grace! Thank You Yahoshua (Jesus)! All Glory to Eloheinu (our God), creator of the heavens and the earth… may you and all those like you be blessed by this prophetic Word from God, delivered by His messenger. AMEN, SO SHALL IT BE! PS Your miracle is still waiting beloved! Remember… The fervent prayers of a child of God, avails much beloved! And our prayers are with you! God's love, child of light 777 Please Note: A third entry was not needed. |
