WHEN DO WE SEE GOD'S FACE?
IF YOU ARE AROUND CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, MEANING ROMAN CATHOLIC AND COMMON PROTEST CHURCHES, YOU SOON HEAR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT "WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN" "O THEY ARE NOW IN HEAVEN" "IF THEIR SICKNESS MEANS DEATH, THEY WILL BE WITH THE LORD IN HEAVEN" "WE'LL SEE OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN WHEN WE GO TO HEAVEN" "THEY HAD A HARD LIFE, NOW THEY ARE AT PEACE IN HEAVEN, WITH THE SAINTS, GOD, AND JESUS" "I'M NOT SCARED OF DEATH FOR IT IS THEN I WILL BE AT HOME IN HEAVEN, WITH GOD THE FATHER, JESUS THE CHRIST, AND ALL THE SAINTS OF PAST AGES."
THE TALK OF GOING TO HEAVEN IS A CONSTANT THEME. THEY SAY WE KNOW WE GO TO HEAVEN ON DEATH.
IT IS COMMONLY HELD BY THEM THAT ONCE ON GOD'S SIDE, ONCE JESUS IS YOUR SAVIOR, YOU ARE PROMISED TO BE WITH THEM BOTH WHEN YOU DIE.
VERY VERY FEW CHRISTIANS DO REAL BIBLE STUDY. O THEY HAVE BIBLE COURSES ON ALL KINDS OF THINGS; WHAT I MEAN IS VERY FEW CHRISTIANS READ THE BIBLE TO BE CORRECTED, OR EVEN GIVE CERTAIN VERSES A CHANCE TO GET THEM THINKING DEEPER. TOO MANY HAVE TUNNEL VISION WHEN READING THE BIBLE.
THERE IS ONE VERSE THAT I WOULD SAY 99 PERCENT OF CHRISTIANS READ RIGHT OVER, IF THEY HAVE EVER READ IT AT ALL, FOR SADLY MANY DO NOT READ ALL THE NEW TESTAMENT, LET ALONE THE OLD TESTAMENT.
HERE IS THE VERSE; IT'S WAY OFF IN THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, AND JUST ABOUT NO ONE GETS TO THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
IF YOU DID YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THESE VERSES------
COMING TO THE TIME OF THE NEW EARTH AND NEW HEAVEN----
"AND I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OUT OF HEAVEN SAYING, BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN [GOD THE FATHER'S DWELLING PLACE], AND HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, AND THEY SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE, AND GOD HIMSELF SHALL BE WITH THEM, AND BE THEIR GOD...........AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE CURSE; BUT THE THRONE OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB SHALL BE IN IT, AND HIS SERVANTS SHALL SERVE HIM. AND THEY SHALL SEE HIS FACE......." [REVELATION 21: 3, 22: 3-4].
NOW WHAT ABOUT ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD FROM ADAM, TO SAY THE FIRST COMING OF CHRIST; IF THEY ARE IN HEAVEN, GOD SAYS THEY AIN'T SEEN HIS FACE, OR IF THEY HAVE, THEN WHY BOTHER WITH SAYING THAT AT A POINT IN TIME WHEN GOD THE FATHER COMES TO EARTH, THEY SHALL SEE HIS FACE? HAS GOD'S FACE BEEN HIDDEN FROM THEM FOR THOUSAND OF YEARS WHILE THEY WERE IN HEAVEN?
KINDA SILLY THEOLOGY I WOULD SAY FROM PLANET PLUTO!
HOW ABOUT THE SAINTS FROM JESUS' TIME TO TODAY. THE ONES SUPPOSEDLY GONE TO HEAVEN AT DEATH? THEY SAY THEY ARE UP THERE, BUT YET THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THE FATHER'S FACE?
MAYBE AS THE FATHER AND JESUS ARE IN THE THRONE ROOM OF HEAVEN, THEY DO NOT COME OUT, HENCE THE SAINTS HAVEN'T SEEN THE FATHER'S FACE. OR MAYBE JESUS GOD COMES OUT, TO ENJOY THE HEAVENLY CITY AND WALK AROUND, AND USE THE MOVING THRONE THAT THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL TALKS ABOUT. BUT THE FATHER DOES NOT.
I MEAN WHAT SILLY THEOLOGICAL CRAP IS THIS, AND NOT ONE VERSE TO BACK IT UP---- YA CRAP THEOLOGY FROM PLANET PLUTO!
NOW MAYBE THERE IS AN INVISIBLE WALL PANNEL THAT THE SAINTS CANNOT SEE THROUGH; THEY SEE JESUS BUT ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE THE FATHER, WELL SEE HIS FACE AT LEAST.
STILL MORE NUTTY, CRAZY, THEOLOGY FROM FURTHER OUT THAN PLANET PLUTO!
PHILIP SAID TO JESUS, LORD SHOW US THE FATHER, AND IT WILL SATISFY US. JESUS SAID, "O PHILIP HAVE YOU BEEN SO LONG WITH ME, HAVE YOU NOT BEEN TAUGHT FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD'S CHILDREN UPON DEATH GO TO BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN. IS IT NOT THAT YOU CANNOT WAIT UNTIL YOU DIE TO SEE GOD THE FATHER."
JESUS SAID NO SUCH THING!
O MY, HERE WAS JESUS' GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO LET EVERYONE KNOW, TO LET ALL CHRISTIANS KNOW, THAT UPON THEIR DEATH THEY GO TO BE WITH AND TO SEE GOD THE FATHER.
JESUS SAID NO SUCH THING TO PHILIP. AND IF PHILIP UNDERSTOOD THAT THE THEOLOGY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT TAUGHT YOU GO TO BE WITH AND TO SEE THE FATHER ON DEATH, HE WOULD NOT HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION.
WHAT DID JESUS SAY?
"HAVE I BEEN SO LONG WITH YOU, YET YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN ME, PHIPIL? HE THAT HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER, SO WHY DO YOU SAY, SHOW US THE FATHER" [JOHN 14: 8, 9].
AND SO IT IS TRUE, "NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD [THE FATHER] AT ANY TIME; THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER, HE HAS DECLARED HIM" [JOHN 1: 18].
"NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD [THE FATHER] AT ANY TIME" [1 JOHN 4: 12].
STEPHEN IN MIND-EYE VISION DID SEE THE GLORY OF GOD, AND JESUS STANDING ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD [ACTS 7: 55]. HE COULD MAKE OUT JESUS, BUT IT DOES NOT SAY HE COULD SEE THE FACE OF GOD; HE SAW THE GLORY OF GOD, AND COULD SEE JESUS ON HIS RIGHT HAND.
IT WAS SIMPLY NOT COMMON LANGUAGE FOR GOD'S CHILDREN IN THIS LIFE TIME, TO BE SAYING TO EACH OTHER--- "WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN" OR "I'LL SEE YOU BROTHER/SISTER IN HEAVEN" OR "WE SHALL MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN" OR "THE SAINTS BEFORE US ARE IN HEAVEN ENJOYING THE FATHER AND CHRIST JESUS" OR "IT WILL NOT BE LONG AND AT OUR DEATH WE GO TO HEAVEN TO SEE THE FATHER AND JESUS AND ALL PAST SAINTS" OR "THE SAINTS IN HEAVEN ARE WATCHING OVER US" OR "THE SAINTS IN HEAVEN ARE REJOICING OVER OUR WORK FOR THE LORD."
SUCH LANGUAGE AS WE OFTEN HEAR FROM "CHRISTIANS" TODAY IN THEIR EVERYDAY TALK, IS NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE!
NOT ONE PERSON HAS EVER SEEN THE FATHER; NOT ONE PERSON HAS EVER SEEN THE FACE OF GOD THE FATHER!
THE TRUTH ABOUT DEATH I HAVE EXPOUNDED IN MANY MANY STUDIES; ALL ARGUMENTS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED VERY THOROUGHLY!
THE GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS THE ONE WHO BECAME THE CHRIST JESUS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. THIS I HAVE ALSO EXPOUNDED THOROUGHLY.
JESUS TAUGHT CLEARLY IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN THAT DEATH IS A---- S L E E P.
NOT ONE HUMAN PERSON HAS EVER LITERALLY GONE TO HEAVEN WHERE THE FATHER LIVES!
HERE IS JESUS TEACHING THAT SIMPLE TRUTH----
"AND NO MAN HAS ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN..." [JOHN 3: 13].
GOD THE FATHER WILL NOT COME WITH JESUS WHEN JESUS IS SENT BACK TO THIS EARTH, TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH FOR 1,000 YEARS.
GOD THE FATHER COMES TO DWELL WITH HIS CHILDREN WHEN THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH COME INTO BEING. THEN HE AND THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM ABOVE WILL DESCEND TO THE NEW EARTH.
THEN GOD THE FATHER WILL DWELL WITH HIS CHILDREN!
THEN GOD THE FATHER'S CHILDREN OF ALL AGES WILL SEE HIS FACE!
AMEN!
SO IT IS WRITTEN AND SO SHALL IT BE!
