1 | The place | 1 Cor 5:1 | Towanda | 153249 | ||
Hello, I have (3) questions and I appreciate it you can give me some clarification. I know 1st John says we will not know what we would be but, we will be like him and see him as he is, does that mean we will see him in the same spirit? John 14 says he will prepare a place for us and come again and get us, Where is the place he has prepare for us? It is not speaking about heaven because he said he will go a prepare a place for us until he come again, does that mean once we died we will be in a holding place that he has prepared for us until he finally come back and the dead in christ which is us will be raised up from that holding place and the rest will be caught up? I am confuse because I thought that when we died we are absent from the body and present with the Lord how can we be with him already and then he will raise us up? A friend of mine was speaking on Sunday and she said that God is not going to do anything until she get their, does that mean we all in christ will get their at the same time? Another question where does satan angels goes do they go straight to hell or do they have to be judge as well as the saints? |

2 | The place | 1 Cor 5:1 | mark d seyler | 153250 | ||
Hi Towanda, I’ll try your second question. John 14:2-3 "In My Father's house are many dwellings; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. Jesus is saying He will come back to take His disciples to the place He has prepared while He was gone. 2 Co 5:4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Its not our wish to die, and leave this body, but rather, to be raptured, and put on the eternal body without ever experiencing physical death, the putting off of our body. But if we do die, we are with the Lord. We believe in Him Who put His Spirit in us, and we know the if we do die, we are with Him, because we walk by faith, not by sight. Walking by faith means that we count on what the Bible tells us, not what we see with our eyes. What does the Bible tell us, and what do we see with our eyes, concerning our being with the Lord? What we see is this world, what we do not see is Jesus. Col 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. We are born, we sin, and we spend the rest of our lives just waiting for the rest of death to catch up, and to die physically. But then we are born again. This is our spiritual resurrection. Spiritually, we have died with Christ, we are raised with Christ, and we are in heaven with Christ. Eph 2:5 (God) made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, The Bible teaches us that we have already died and gone to heaven, to be with Jesus, as a completed action. 6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. While we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord, for we walk by faith and not by sight. In what sense are we absent from the Lord? We know that God lives in us, and that He is everywhere. We are both physically and spiritually in His presence. We are absent from the Lord in sight. If our walk were by sight, this would be to physically see Jesus, and to see heaven. We do not see Him yet, so our walk is by faith. We are “at home” in our body. This is where our consciousness is, our sight. We are in bodies that belong in this temporal environment, that are not able to exist, or to be aware of, the heavenly realm. But where else are we? We are “hid with Christ in God”, “seated in the heavenlies with Jesus.” When we die, or “sleep”, we no longer see through our eyes, or touch with our hands, or are active in the physical world. But death does not change our spiritual existance. We are still hid with Christ in God. We are just no longer tethered to a body that limits our sensory experience to the physical world. We sleep in the sense that we cease to experience the physical world, but we’ve already had our spiritual resurrection. What happens when we wake up? We return to the sensory input of our body. And when we receive our immortal, heavenly bodies, they will be made for heavenly existance, not limited to experiencing just physical life, but also capable of perceiving and experiencing the spiritual reality. When we die, we become completely conscious of our fellowship with Jesus. At the resurrection, as our consciousness awakes in our immortal bodies, this fellowship doesn’t diminish. 1 Thess 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Spiritually, we are already in our eternal state 2 Co 4:16 Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. Different people have various ideas about this, this is mine - I hope it helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
