THE LITTLE BOY FINALLY REPENTED AND TOLD THE TRUTH THAT HE REALLY DIDNT GO TO HEAVEN. HE ALSO APOLOGIZED FOR ALL OF THE MONEY, BOOKS AND THE MOVIE THAT WAS MADE ABOUT HIS LIE OF GOING TO HEAVEN. I have always been taught that when we die we either go to heaven or hell. Since then I have learned “For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten. Eccl 9:5 * When Yeshua comes into His new kingdom we will be with him and He will tabernacle with us for ever and ever. Here are some scriptures used by many trying to prove that we go to heaven when we die. * Elijah went to heaven right? The question is what heaven? - 2 Kings 2:11 “ And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” 2 Kings 2:11 heaven - shamayim; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve) :- air, × astrologer, heaven (-s). [9 yrs. Later] • “And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus said the Lord God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy fathers house, which were better than thyself:” 2 Chron. 21:12-13 • Yeshua said, “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.” John 3: 13 • David went to heaven right? NO - Peter said this after Yeshua’s resurrection: “Men and brethren let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.” Acts 2:29 • What about Abraham Moses and all the rest of the saints that have preceded us. All of those who have died before us wait for all of us to be resurrected together. “And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Heb. 11:39-40 • How about the thief on the cross – Nope - The thief who asked Yeshua to remember him when he came into His kingdom, Yeshua responded by saying, “Truly I say to you today, you shall be with me in Paradise. Luke 23:43 Paradise is a place in the future so he hasn’t gotten to go there just quite yet. For one thing Yeshua was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights so he couldn’t possibly have meant that very day. Yeshua had not ascended into heaven until later. “Jesus said unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” John 20:17 Second of all Paradise has not yet been opened to the public for viewing just quite yet because Yeshua has not set up His New Kingdom just yet but don’t worry He is on His way. Paradise is a future place and event: * “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. Rev 21:1-4 • How about the many saints that rose from the dead after Yeshua’s resurrection? “Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God! Matt 27:51-54 • So we see that many saints that had died rose from the dead after Yeshua’s resurrection. But it never does say they went to heaven it only stipulates that they rose from their sleep and were witnesses of Yeshua’s resurrection. • Paul taught on the resurrection and most all of the apostles died for this teaching. “And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: 32 and when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, We will hear you again on this matter. 33 So Paul departed from among them. 34 However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysian the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them. Acts 17:32-34 • There is a Resurrection for the just and the unjust. And we have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.” Acts 24:15 Now Paul did go to the third heaven – “It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth ;) such a one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell; God knoweth How that he was caught up into paradise, [paradeisos - (special) an Eden (place of future happiness, “paradise”) :- paradise.] and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or that he hears of me. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Cor 12:1-14 • Paul speaks about the resurrection - “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not raised: And if Christ be not raised, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he rose up Christ: whom he rose not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, and then is not Christ risen: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.” 1 Cor 15:12-17 • *Paul made a comment saying, “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. We look forward to our new tent made in perfection not with human hands without any mortality sickness etc…2 Cor. 5:8-11 So how can folks be in heaven or hell yet until they are first judged? How about the beggar taken to Lazarus’s bosom? “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abrahams bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my fathers house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham said unto him, they have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 16:22-31 ***This is a parable teaching us that if you do not believe what the prophets and Moses taught then Yeshua coming back from the dead would not help his five brothers believe. That is the point of this parable nothing more. I hear at every funeral I have attended “they are in a better place.” How do they know this for certain because they are not Yeshua the One who judges all things and second of all they don’t realize that their bodies haven’t been resurrected yet? They are asleep. Their souls went back to where it came from Elohim but they themselves are asleep.
