Subject: After death do angels take us to God? |
Bible Note: Beloved Brother Ray, please allow me to clairify for you and also our brother Chusarcik then. As we look at the Parable of the "Tares among Wheat" in Matthew chapter 13, using the Holy Spirit as our guide and teacher, we clearly see in chapter 13 verse 30 where the angels indeed take us up to heaven... 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) For in our Lord's beautiful and simple way he tells us that the angles, which are the harvesters, bring the wheat, which are the children of light, into the His barn, which is the throne of heaven where both our heavenly Father and His beloved Son dwell! Now, the reason the Holy Spirit instructed me to include the passage from John chapter 4 was to coralate and clairify in verses 35 and 36 that the end of the age had begun with our Lords Ministry almost 2000 years ago... as it is written: "Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together." (The Holy Bible-NASB-John 4:35-36) ...so that we do not confuse the final end time Rapture of the Church at our Lord's return, with the harvest set into motion at our Lord's first arival. This is also verified by our Lord's words to the thief who was crucified with our Lord at Golgotha (which is, a place of a skull aka Calvary)... as it is written: "One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!" But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? "And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." (The Holy Bible-NASB-Luke 23:39-43) ...all done to eliminate possible confussion that angels bring us up to heaven at the time of the rapture of the Church, when those who are asleep in Christ and those who are alive at that time are caught up in the air with our beloved Lord and Savior, where they do not. Truly, I am sorry for any confusion on my first reply to our brother Chusarick. Hopefully this clears things up! We also wish to take a moment to thank you brother Ray for reminding us, to never forget that others may not be as familiar with the Holy Scriptures as ourselves, for we thought when refrencing the Parable of the "Tears among Wheat" that we were all on the same page togeather in unity.
