Subject: Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? |
Bible Note: The Lord states that no one of the place, earth, meaning us peoples, has ascended to the place, Heaven. He, the Lord Jesus has come from the place, Heaven, into the place, earth, meaning flesh which is made of earth. And note that at the time the Lord said this, it is true, but after His resurrection that which came from Heaven descended into the earth and ascended in to Heaven. Hence those born of Holy Spirit, which is from the place known as Heaven, came into the place that is of earth, flesh, and shall ascend in to Heaven as Jesus did. Jn:3:13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Also note that those born of the Holy Spirit that Heaven is in them. (Lk:17:21) and is at hand (Lk:10:11, Mk:1:15)for anyone else. The OP was asking about seeing God. And used this verse (Jn:3:13) to question whether or not anyone has seen God, such as Enoch or Elijah, because no one has ascended into Heaven, and pointing to Moses, shows that ascending into Heaven according to scripture wasn’t required to see God. The subject is about seeing God, or whether God has been seen or not. As Moses has experienced, ascension into Heaven isn’t required to see God, when God comes to us, and where we are. |
