The Simple Truth...Third Heaven (First Watch)

First Watch 

The bride: the last of the two anointed ones that stand by the Lord of the earth, awakened and caught up to the third heaven, caught up to God (paradise). It's what many like to call "raptured" but she doesn't fly up into heaven, she remains on earth to preach to the churches just as those from the days of Pentecost did. 
  • See my recent FB posts (link in sidebar) for more detailed teachings about those who remain on earth. 
Jesus was the first to be in heaven while on earth. (John 3:13) Apostle Paul is another example of this... in heaven while on earth. (Acts 9:1-19) Another is the house of Cornelius. (Acts 10:1-8,44-48)

For God has not appointed us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 

She is truly anointed and is aware of the presence of CHRIST...

I, Jesus, sent My angel to bear witness to you of these things for the churches.
I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
— Revelation 22:16  


Apostle Paul's vision of a human in Christ...

It is necessary to boast, though it is not profitable, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows— was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.

— 2 Corinthians 12:1-4 

That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, yet God seeks what is pursued.

— Ecclesiastes 3:15

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

— 1 Thessalonians 4:16

 But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”

— Mark 10:31

 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not fear; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

— Revelation 1:17-18

She is one of the two witnesses...

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will surely perish quickly from the land where you are going over the Jordan to possess it. You shall not prolong your days on it, but will be utterly destroyed.
— Deuteronomy 4:26

However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Now there is no one who exerts strength with me against these forces except Michael your prince.
— Daniel 10:21

  • (Jew: Old Testament ~ Greece πŸ‘‰ Greek: New Testament)
  • There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. — Galatians 3:28
  • The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. — 2 Corinthians 3:6  

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who wishes receive the water of life without cost.
— Revelation 22:17

She will be led to the King with virgins to follow...

She will be led to the King in embroidered work;

The virgins, her companions who follow her,

Will be brought to You.

— Psalm 45:14

When they return from the wedding the angels will gather the elect...

And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

— Matthew 24:30-31

Second watch... (remnant — John 10:1-15; Rev 7:1-8)

And be like men who are waiting for their master when he πŸ‘‰ returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.

— Luke 12:36

“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be compared to ten virgins; the same took their lamps and went to meet the groom and the bride.
— Matthew 25:1

And in the middle of the night there was an outcry, “Behold, The groom has come, go out to meet him.”
— Matthew 25:6

And when they went to buy, the groom came and those who were ready entered with him into the wedding place, and the door was barred.
— Matthew 25:10

Third watch... (great crowd — John 10:16; Rev 7:9-17)

And πŸ‘‰later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ But he answered and said, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ Therefore, stay awake, for πŸ‘‰ you do not know the day nor the hour.

— Matthew 25:11-13 

I've shared the image below in a post before: Awake ~ My Heartfelt Prayer~ 2019

[Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene (g3094: tower), from whom He had cast out seven demons.

— Mark 16:9

See post in Menu bar: Abomination of Desolation 

Please WAKE UP...

Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”

— Luke 11:26

It's time to share this image again...

who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the sanctuary of God, exhibiting himself as being God.

— 2 Thessalonians 2:4


    Side Note: Many teach that Satan can't read thoughts, I beg to differ, I have no doubt he can know my thoughts and implant them as well. (Matthew 15:13); (2Th 2:4) Hence why one needs to test the spirits. (1John 4:1) Now, what Satan can't do is know the mind of your inner heart, your inner self, your true self... there's a distinction to be made. (1 Kings 8:39); (1Co 13:12)

    Let's continue...
    • Who is Asherah?
    • Is it really how the scribes and religion have explained her to be?
    Do the research and test the spirits...

    “Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
    — Matthew 10:26

    But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom which has been hidden, which God predestined before the ages to our glory,

    — 1 Corinthians 2:7

    • Did you know Lord (h136 Adonai) is plural?

     

    And Abram said, “O Lord (h136) Jehovah, what will You give me, as I go on being childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”

    — Genesis 15:2

    Inflected: אֲΧ“ֹΧ ָ/Χ™
    Root: אֲΧ“ֹΧ ָΧ™
    Strong's: H136
    English: Lord
    Language: Hebrew
    Code: H Ncmpc / Sp1cs

    NcmpcSp1cs
    Word: אֲΧ“ֹΧ ָ
    Speech: Noun
    Type: Common
    Gender: Masculine
    Number: Plural πŸ‘ˆ
    State: Construct
    Long: Hebrew Noun: Common Masculine Plural Construct

     Just like God (h430 Elohim) is plural here...

    Then God (h430) said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

    — Genesis 1:26-27

    See blog page: Two Witnesses (little scroll written) 

    DUALITY... NOT triune...



    1. Apostle Paul has visions and revelations (things hidden revealed). 

    And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

    — Luke 8:10

     

    2. He speaks of a human that was caught up (raptured) to the third heaven. 

    “Now at that time, Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will stand. And there will be a time of distress such as never happened since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

    — Daniel 12:1

    For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ willπŸ‘‰rise first.

    — 1 Thessalonians 4:16

    Book of life... 

    And I took the little scroll out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

    — Revelation 10:10

     And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war,

    — Revelation 12:7

    And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

    — Revelation 12:9

    For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.” And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

    — Revelation 12:12-13

     

    3. This human is witness to the abominations and gives testimony.

    There are six things which Yahweh hates,

    Even seven which are an abomination to Him:

    Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

    And hands that shed innocent blood,

    A heart that devises wicked thoughts,

    Feet that hasten to run to evil,

    A false witness who breathes out lies,

    And one who spreads strife among brothers.

    — Proverbs 6:16-19

    RELIGION is man-made, not spiritual. It's what stumbles many. False predictions, lies, gossip, exaltation and riddled with idolatry, the list goes on... all from those who claim to be of God. PRIDE is the worst. It's all about YOU and what YOU believe and want. Partial to yourself, to your cliques and/or your churches. It's about your understanding never caring enough to hear what someone else may have to say or show you. Never realizing that "that someone else" can be someone sent to you by God.

    Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

    — Hebrews 13:2

    Because of the "exalted religious spirit" among the so-called believers, many have left feeling lost, not knowing where to turn, seeing the hypocrisy of those claiming to be godly but proving otherwise. I know Atheists (my children) who see you and want nothing to do with God because of what you represent, your behavior revealing a God they don't want to follow. Imagine that...preferring to believe there is no God than to follow what you follow. 

    I understand that all too well, the God you follow is not one any sensible human would want to follow... religions are riddled with pride, exaltation, idolatry, lies and worst of all, CONTROL... keeping the masses blind so they follow the creature (g2937) instead of the Creator. (Romans 1:25)

    Religions practice and teach lies with their holidays and traditions, then excuse what they do by claiming it's for the LORD/Lord (HYPOCRITES g5273: Actors). Believers determined to be right about THEIR TRUTH regardless, never thinking about what they could be costing someone else. Never caring enough to do TRUE BIBLE studies with those they disagree with (Acts 17:11) ... never taking the time to accept YOU CAN BE WRONG, judging incorrectly. (Luke 18:2-8)

    Self-righteous: having or characterized by a certainty, especially an unfounded one, that one is totally correct or morally superior:

    I've witnessed countless debates and mistreatment with those who disagree with each other. Deluding yourselves about what kind of person you are. Turning away or keeping at a distance any who wish to share their view because if differs from yours. Showing partiality and self-righteousness.

    I've literally been silenced by ALL the religious groups I've been to, yes, even the false "all loving" ones who let you in but always keep you at a distance. Keeping me limited to their understanding ONLY. The countless Bible studies I've had...not allowed to have a voice because I didn't represent them or their church/faith. Feeling disrespected and hurt more by those who claim to believe, than those who don't. Frustrated on how one claims to believe when their behavior proves otherwise.

    There are SO MANY deceived, that have no clue that what they follow is false. My heart breaks because they've been so indoctrinated with this false hope that they refuse to listen. Thinking somehow, they're doing wrong if they do listen...that's fear. (1John 4:18) Never realizing it is Satan who has them in his grasp.

    Lies are just that, lies and if you partake, it makes you a liar. Doctrines and traditions of men are just that, doctrines and traditions of men.

    But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by the hypocrisy of liars, who have been seared in their own conscience, who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God created to be shared in with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

    — 1 Timothy 4:1-3

    Left to all these man-made religions, Bible studies and social media teachers... 

    1. I would not have been baptized in water.
    2. I would not been allowed to take communion (eat bread/meat) or... 
    3. Allowed to understand scripture by the Spirit (wine/marriage) and πŸ‘‰ share it. 
    Religion is about CONTROL...partial only to their own rules, their core beliefs and values... their standards that are NOT from God.

    I am a WITNESS and that is my testimony. 

    Thankfully, the FATHER has taught me well...love the sinner ❤️ and not the sin.

    If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting, for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

    — 2 John 1:10-11

    But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

    — Luke 23:34

    Praying for all mankind...
