Bible Note: i do not believe we would go to heaven right away because Jesus went back to heaven to prepare a place for us. john 14:2-3 and if we were to go to heaven right away then this next scripture would be unnessecary 1 Thessolonians 4:13-18 states that the dead in christ rise up first. the parable you are refering to is exactly that a parable. it's an illustration meant to answer a question and teach a lesson. these things did not happen. just like the parable of the barren fig tree in luke13:6-9. |
