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 |

2 | After death do angels take us to God? | Matt 13:36 | child of light 777 | 145882 | ||
Beloved Brother Ray, please read and this time pray in the Holy Spirit for divine understanding on the following passages, for if we just use our mind to try to fathom the mysteries of Elohim (God), it simply becomes a mental exercise—an endless mind game that completely misses the point, as you can only skim the surface. And yet deep down inside, you can feel there is something that remains just out of reach… as it is written: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. 3But the man who loves God is known by God. (1 Corinthians 8:1-3 NASB) Brother, this is the living Word of Elohim (God) and no man can grasp it with the mind. You would do better to try and grasp the wind… as it is written: "10And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?" 11Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. 12"For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him." (The Holy Bible- NASB-Matthew 13:10-12) And again: 9Nicodemus said to Him, "How can these things be?" 10Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? 11"Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony. 12"If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? (The Holy Bible- NASB-Matthew 13:10-12) 39And He also spoke a parable to them: "A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40”A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. (The Holy Bible- NASB-Luke 6:39-40) 3I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 4and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:3-5 NASB) Beloved Brother Ray, only when we pray to Elohim (God) for divine understanding, while filled with the Holy Spirit, can we fathom the mysteries of He who is Holy, for His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts… as it is written: 10For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 13which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 14But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 15But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:10-16 NASB) Beloved Brother, an angel of our Lord came to me at 3 A.M. this morning with the above message that is not only for you, but for all who are missing 9/10ths of our beloved heavenly Father’s Holy Living Word. For this is not a mental exercise to keep one occupied in their golden years—it is God’s beautiful Plan for our Salvation! Brother, due to the size limit allowed per entry, this completes part one, please see part two and three for the conclusion. |
