The Truth About Heaven

Just like hell, every religion teaches about heaven and every religion teaches that heaven is a place for the good and the gay; an after-life residence for your "soul"; heaven is up above; a place of eternal bliss and happiness. So who wants to go to heaven, who doesn't? Is this the heaven or is heaven really what you have been taught or believed?

So that EVERYONE who read this may be made aware and not be deceived to think that you are entitled to a place in heaven or that it is your privilege to be in heaven after your demise, or heaven is a place for man after life on earth and not be surprised otherwise, let each one be prepared.

There are so many teachings today about heaven, people at funeral are often heard saying, "I am glad he is gone to be with 'God,' or 'God' has called home our so and so..." Or I am glad he is now in heaven... Is that so? How did they know? What makes you even think that you are entitle a place in heaven no matter how good you are or how smart. Let us set the record straits in the light of the One who made the heavens and the earth so that no man may conjecture, presume or assume that he owns heaven or has a privilege to be there. The time has come for clearing up the various deceptions about heaven, no Tom, Dick and Harry could or would be there.

What and Where Is Heaven?

From ancient of time, all religion--again religion--taught that heaven is above but exactly where above, nobody knows. You ask any rabbi, pastor, priest, monk or nun, where is heaven and the answer would be almost all the same; up there, up yonder, somewhere beyond the blue... So what and where is heaven?

Heaven means space, the Hebrew word for heaven is "Shamayim." The sky above is space. It is heaven or firmament. The first thing our ELOHIM made is heaven and the earth. This is in Bereshith (Genesis) 1:1. "In the beginning, ELOHIM made the heavens and the earth." Notice the heavens is plural while the earth is singular. So there is more than one heaven. In vs 6 of Genesis 1 we read how ELOHIM made the first heaven called Firmament or expanse. "And ELOHIM said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing of waters and waters. This heaven or space divides the sea water and the cloud. This is the heaven that the birds of the air flies and where the clouds hover.

The Scriptures tells us there is a third heavens. In second Corinthians 12:2 Paul wrote: I know a man in the Mashiyach, Who fourteen years ago, (whether in the body I know not, or out of the body I know not, YaHVaH knoweth); such a one as this caught away as far as the third heaven: This refers to our Mashiyach Who was caught up after His resurrection and He went to the Third heaven. If there is a third heaven then there must be a first and the second.  Therefore, there must be three heavens which YaHVAH made.

The first heaven is the firmament where the birds of the air fly and where the clouds hover. And the second heaven is where the stars, moon and the sun orbit. That simple.  The third heaven is out of this galaxy where YaHVaH said, His throne is.

Having explained this, we could now conclude that there are three heavens and which one are you going to if you think you are going to heaven after your demise from earth? Do you have problem figuring that out, you are not alone.  Still, they all want to get there or believe they are going there... but who knows the way there?

Now the first heaven as we see in Genesis one is the space just above us where the birds fly and the clouds hover. The second is where the stars are and there is a heaven, the third where YaHVaH said is my throne, see Isaiah 66:1.

YaHVaH, our Maker and Author of the Heavens and the Earth, rules in the Heavens and is that the place where deluded mortal thought or believed they are going after their life here ended.   What makes them think they are going to live in heaven after death? What makes then even think they are entitled to go there or fit to live there. It's a great deception. Some hymns like "This world is not my Home," and one by Ernie Ford about seeing my mother there... is highly deceptive. Yes, we presume and assume or conjecture but YaHVaH, judges; He decides.

Ultimately, who is going to go there?

YaHVaHShooa, the Son of EL who came from heaven told us this: "No man hath ascended into heaven, save He that out of heaven descended, The Son of Man." John 3:13. That was referring to Himself, YaHVaHShooa, because He came from Heaven. Note that "No Man hath ascended," meaning went up except He that out of heaven descended. Long ago, a wise king asked: "Who hath ascendeth the heavens and then descendeth? Who hath gathered the wind into His two hands? Who hath wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who hath set up all the ends of the earth? What is His Name and what is His Son's Name, when thou knowest? Proverbs 30:4 This tells us many things, only the Creator, our Father and His Son descended and ascended the heavens, only they know the way, only they could do it and they show it to their messengers. Heaven do not belong to mortal man and mortal man have no place there, no right to be there except it be given by YaHVaH.

The same YaHVaHShooa Who descended and ascended the heavens also said: Let not your heart be troubled, believe in YaHVaH and on Me believe. In the house of My Father are many dwellings; or else I could have told you, I go and prepare a place for you, again am I coming and will take you home unto Myself, that where I am there ye may be also." John 14:1-3.

Here is where Christians get caught up and went amissed. Here is where they assume they would be brought home. Sadly, only those who would be brought home are described in Revelation 22:14 which said, "Happy they who are washing their robes, that their right may be unto the tree of life, and by the gates they may enter into the city." In the next verse, it says, "outside are dogs and the sorcerers, the unchaste, and the murderers, the idolaters and every one loving and doing falsehood. One and all they are all the same, the unchaste, the idolaters, the murderers, and the the liars and there are so many liars today who even lied about His great Name and about heaven. So the great majority would be out just as He said so. "Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be..." The great majority could be  and is wrong, dont be surprised.

How To Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven

You want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, hear what the author of Salvation and Maker of the Heavens said,

1. Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, He cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. John 3:5.

2. Except ye be converted as a little child, ye shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Matt. 18:3.

3. Repent ye and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of YaHVaHShooa, the Mashiyach, unto the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the free-gift of the Ruach Ha Kodesh. Acts. 2:38.

This same YaHVaHShooa Whom the Father honors also said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." John 14:6.

Folks! There is no other way to heaven. Only one way. YaHVaHShooa Ha Mashiyach. Dont bet on any other, or there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Note: Even David, a man of YaHVaH's own heart, is not in heaven. See Acts 2:34.

All religion teaches that one could go to heaven right after this life is over, and all religion teaches that a good man could be in heaven after his demise on earth.. Is that so?  The Word of YaHVaH, the Maker of Heaven says otherwise.  It tells us that only those who are redeemed could go there and all the redeemed would go to heaven together, not when one dies or one at a time. All would be led by YaHVaHShooa, their King of Kings when He comes again to receive them and bring them home just as He promised in John 14:1-3 and also in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17:

"Let not your heart be troubled, believe on YaHVaH, and on Me believe.  In the house of My Father are many dwellings; or else I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, again am I coming, and will take you home unto Myself, that where I am, ye also may be."

"Because YaHVaHShooa Himself with a word of command, with a chief messenger's voice and a trumpet of YaHVaH shall descend from heaven, and the dead in Mashiyach shall be raised first. After that we, the living who are left, TOGETHER WITH THEM, shall be caught away in the clouds to meet YaHVaHShooa in the air; and thus evermore with YaHVaHShooa shall we be."

When YaHVaHShooa returns to planet earth again soon, He will sound the Shofar of YaHVaH and with a shout call for the dead to rise, and the dead from Adam on who are account worthy would be raised in the "first resurrection" and together, those living then would be caught up in the air to meet Him.  There would be a grand meeting of the redeemed in the first heaven (in the air), both resurrected and those living then with YaHVaHShooa, and He would take them to the " many dwellings in My Father's House" in heaven.  He is the way, the truth and the life and He knows the way there.  Do you?

Heaven is not our home.  Even though the redeemed are privileged to live in "My Father's house" in heaven, they would be there for only a thousand years which is like a day in the eyes of YaHVaH.  After the thousand years, they would come with YaHVaHShooa to this earth again and YaHVaH would destroy the enemy and all the lawless with fire; the same fire would purged the earth and make it new.  Then the New Jerusalem, a city made by YaHVaH would descend from Heaven.  That is where the redeems shall be va ed Olam, see Jude 14, 15, Isaiah 65:17-25, Revelation 20:1-15, Revelation 21:127, and Malaki 4:1-3.

So steer clear of deception and do not be shocked in the day of judgement!
