Bible Question: What happened when Jesus assended into heaven? Did he reach the upper atmosphere? Did he continue into outer space? How far did he travel in our universe before he moved into the heavenly universe? How would that appear if I had observed it? |
Bible Answer: Greetings johnboy36, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! It would have appeared to you just like it did to the eye witnesses that were there! See verse 9 below to see what scripture says they saw. Acts 1:9-11 (NASB) 1:9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 1:10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 1:11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." Hebrews 9:24 (NASB) For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us How old are you? Steve |
