According to Rev 14:1, the apostle John says:"I saw, and look! the Lamb (Jesus Christ)standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty four thousand having his name and the name of his father written on their foreheads."
These 144,00 Christians, including Jesus' faithful apostles, are raised to life in heaven. However the vast marjority of mankind have the prospect of being resurrected in the future to life in Paradise on earth. |

"The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, says the Lord." Isaiah 65:25 NIV
This tells me that God includes all His creature's in His precious all-encompassing love. He saved Noah and his family in the flood and planned for saving 2 of all His creatures.
God created for man a paradise which included all His creatures, Heaven will be paradise which according to past indications will include animals.
I love the Lord and am thankful that He not only created my dogs, but also gave me the gift of being able to have mercy, compassion, and love for our fellow creatures.
Gen 1:21-22 NIV God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves and in verse 22 He blessed them.
God blessed them.
I believe with all my heart there will be pets and all of God glory in heaven.
Rev 19:14 NIV John's vision of heaven also included animals, showing Christ and the armies of heaven " riding white horses." I have found many more verses in my search for God's answer to my question in the Bible, and I believe I did a search for dominion mandate. God made sure beasts of burden received rest on Sabboth, if a sparrow falls to the ground He knows. Yes we were created higher but that doesn't mean He doesn't love His other creations, because God is love. I hope this helps. God Bless you and your family. |

Where are the Bible heroes since death? |
Answer |
John 13:33 |
EdB |

Dan
Point 1 In John 13:33 (NASB)
33 "Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.'
“As I said to the Jews.”
Since the second covenant had not yet been established the disciples were in the same situation as the Jew unable to go to where Jesus was going. However Jesus assured them that in a little while they would be able to follow after Jesus.
This also has the double meaning that Peter would shortly face crucifixion.
Point 2 Come is to accompany, follow is to go after as these words were used by Jesus. Jesus said you can’t accompany me or come with me but you will follow after me in a little while.
Point 3
Hades/Hell is not place of punishment as such but rather a holding place for the dead spirits. Jesus gave us a full description of Hades/Hells in Luke 16:19-31 when he told of Lazarus and rich man. This description exactly corresponds to the Jewish understanding of Hades/Hell found in Jewish literature. In any case Hades/Hell is divided into two sections a hot dry place and Abraham’s bosom or paradise. Before Christ all that died went to the Hades/Hell to await Judgment or the Messiah. The unrighteous dead would be in the hot dry place awaiting final Judgment. The righteous dead that died looking for the Messiah would be in Abraham’s bosom. All were held captive by death.
When Jesus died upon the cross he descended into Hades/Hell to Abraham’s bosom and preached the Good News. He then led captivity captive to heaven. Eph 4:8.
Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 (NASB)
6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—
8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Or to put it simply absent from the body is to be present with the Lord if you are in Christ Jesus. The unrighteous still wait judgment in the hot dry side of Hades/Hells however Abraham’s bosom side is now empty.
What John 1:18 is saying if more complex than no one has seen God. God is spirit so God must be worshipped in spirit but the real intent of what Jesus is saying is no one on this earth is qualified to tell of God, they aren’t able to ascend into God’s presence to observe Him and then report back. Jesus is saying that He and He alone is the only one able to talk of the Father since He and the Father is one and since Jesus descended directly from the Father.

Greetings J Lo!
Luke 16:26 certainly indicates that individuals cannot cross between the paradise side and punishment side of Hades, but that does not necessarily mean that someone from earth could not go there either physically or in a vision.
However, I would take any such claims with a giant grain of salt. :-)

Matt 25:41 |

That is because ministers shy away from the answer!
Hell: Passing over the derivations suggested by older writers, it is now generally agreed that the word comes from the root, "to make hollow" (conip. Germ. Ilolle, "hell," with Ilohle, "a hollow "), and therefore means the vast hollow subterranean resting-place which is the common receptacle of the dead (Ges. T/ies. p. 1348; UiJttcher, lie Jnferis, c. iv. p. 137 fF.; Ewald, ad Ps. p. 42).
The notion, of the fiery rivers of Tartarus, however, is not found in Scripture, for Psa . xviii. 5 is a mere metaphor.
It is clear that in many passages of the O. T.Sheol can only mean " the grave," and is so rendered in the A. V. (see, for example, Gen. xxxvii. 35, xlii. 38; 1 Sam. ii. 6; Job xiv. 13).
It is obvious, for instance, that Job xi. 8; Ps. cxxxix. 8; Am. ix. 2 (where " hell " is used as the antithesis of "heaven"), merely illustrate the Jewish notions of the locality of Sheol in the bowels of the earth.
Even Ps. ix. 17, Prov. xv. 24, v. 5, ix. 18, seem to refer rather to the danger of terrible and precipitate death than to a place of infernal anguish.
The statements of Gesenius and very many others about the gates and bars of Hades simply convert
rhetoric into logic, and might with equal propriety invest the Kingdom of Heaven with " keys." The theory so prevalent, that Hades was the common province of departed spirits, divided, however, into two compartments, Paradise and Gehenna, seems to have been founded more upon the classical writers and the Rabbis — to whom it appeals so largely — than upon the Bible.

Paradise or Abraham's bosom was the holding place for Old Testament Saints seen in Luke 16:19-31 before Jesus led them to Heaven Eph 4:8.
Hell or Hades from the Jewish perspective is a holding place of the dead with one side Paradise and the other a hot dry place Luke 16:19-31. And it is that hot dry side of Hades that is the holding place for the unrigtheous dead. Hell is not the unrigtheous' final destination as we see Hell/Hades will eventually be cast into the Lake of Fire Rev 20:14 |

Don’t confuse the issue of being saved, (Jesus Christ is your Salvation), and the understanding of “trinity”.
Jn:3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Believing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only begotten Son of God is sufficient. The thief on the Cross acknowledged Him as Lord, the Lord, and if you notice, it was sufficient for the Lord to promise him that He would see him in paradise that day.
Understanding the relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is some thing you come into the understanding of in your relationship with the Lord.
The aggravation with the entities that preach and teach “trinity” never seem to have the answer for the understanding thereof. The usual bailout or back peddle is “it’s a mystery” meaning they don’t know what they preach.

Hi, Terry...
Welcome to the forum!
Theologians call the period of time after death and before resurrection as the "interim state."
The old Baptist divines put it this way: "The bodies of men after death return to dust, and see corruption; but their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them. The souls of the righteous being then made perfect in holiness, are received into paradise, where they are with Christ, and behold the face of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies; and the souls of the wicked are cast into hell; where they remain in torment and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day; besides these two places, for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none. (Genesis 3:19; Acts 13:36; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6,8; Philippians 1:23; Hebrews 12:23; Jude 6, 7; 1 Peter 3:19; Luke 16:23, 24)" --1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, chapter 31, paragraph 1
Note that the interim state is an abnormal state. Men were not meant to be beings separate from bodies. Nor were men meant to dwell eternally in heaven. After glorification, when God restores His creation, men will again dwell upon the earth in the state for which they were created.
In Him, Doc |

Verse 16,17 is not even the subject, V 13 is where the subject starts, 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren concerning them which are a sleep (dead), That ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will GOD will bring with him 15 These people that are alive can't precede them because they are already with him, 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident ,I say, and to be absent from this body, and to be present with the LORD. And Ecclesiastes 9:4,5 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5.For the living know that they shall die: But the dead know not any thing, neither have they anymore reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. and Ecclesiastes 12:6,7 Or the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7.Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto GOD who gave it. and Luke 23:43 And Jesus (on the cross) said unto him,(the malefactor) Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise, And Luke 16:19-31 the rich man is on the bad side of the gulf and was talking to Abraham all these people are not in the grave, the flesh returns to the dust from which it came, and back to 1 Thessalonians 4 In v.16,17 The word cloud is a figure of speech like a cloud of birds or a cloud of people running a foot race (example Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. and the word air when we break it back to Greek it means breath not atmosphere, the breath of life spiritual body and this don't happen until the seventh trump 1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; (there is only seven)for the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Revelations 7:9 Who are all these people that escaped Satan's tribulation at the sixth trump his roll as the antichrist claiming to be Christ, The seventh trump has not yet sounded yet, and all these people are not in the grave, and in Ephesians 6:10-19 If God's children were going to turn tail and run from Satan's tribulation what would they need with the whole Armour of God. This flesh body was only temporary when God created the sixth day creation back in Genesis 1;26 When He was restoring the earth. |

Knowing the Old Testament Story |

Greetings,
There is a saying that I heard once from an old preacher: "The Old Testament is the New Testament contained, and the New Testament is the Old Testament explained."
Basically, this means that what you find in the New Testament can be found in the Old Testament as well. Also, if you want to properly understand the New Testament, you need to turn to the Old Testement. In the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, Abraham tells the Rich Man that his family has Moses and the Prophets to lead them to Paradise, and to listen to them. Paul quotes the Old Testament time and time again, as do many of the other New Testament writers. In the New Testament, the term "Scripture" is unanimously referring to the Old Testament. You can even present a basic plan of Salvation, and never leave the Old Testament.
The point is simple. Without the Old Testament, the New Testament wouldn't make any sense.

Greetings,
Actually, The Bible contains no such teaching about Jesus going to hell to teach to anyone or, as some believe, to battle with Satan. Where this comes from, I have no idea, but it's not in the Bible. I hear it largely mentioned by Dispensationalists such as Scofield. According to the teaching, during the time in the tomb after the Crucifixion, Jesus decended to hell to battle Satan to obtain the supposed "Keys to Hell" or some such. However, when you read the conversation Jesus had with the repentant Thief on the Cross, he says "Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise." in Luke 23:43.

Salvation Poll |

A poll which only confuses the issue isn’t needed, i.e. human viewpoint.
The main crux is, thus says the Word of the Lord.
It is often found within the text of Holy writ what is known as a parenthetical phrase or clause. These are not necessary words or phrases as they don’t actually contribute to the truth conveyed by the main subject of the sentence.
If we were talking about math, namely fractions, it would be the same as boiling everything down to its most common denominator for a single truth.
The simplest fact of salvation is as follows.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
The proof of this is found in actually by observance of the thief on the cross and Christ’s response to him.
At the beginning he was in league with the other thief but then he had a change of mind as to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as he called Him Lord or (KORIOS) in the Koine Greek of the Scripture.
Luke 23:42-43 (NASB)
42 And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!"
43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."
(And he was saying,)as in the previous verse is broken down like this.
It's in the indicative mood, imperfect tense, active voice of the verb (ELEGEN) from the root word (LEGO).
The indicative mood means reality or certainty, the imperfect tense informs us of something we don’t find in the English translation,
i.e. he literally kept on saying, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom,
The active voice means that the thief produced the action of the verb.
The next question many might ask is this, when did the thief repent?
This is, “one of,” the most misunderstood verbs in the Bible. Repent comes to us from the Koine Greek verb (METANOEO) it’s a compound word that means to have a change of thinking or a change of mind and it has absolutely nothing to do with being sorry for sin!
God isn’t impressed with how we feel about sin all He considers is what His Son did for those sins. Nothing we can do will ever impress God; the only thing that He is impressed with is the work that Jesus Christ His unique Son finished on the cross for those sins!!!
Anything anyone adds to “faith alone” in Jesus Christ “alone” and what He did on the cross is barking up the wrong tree and they better get their eyes off of themselves and get them fixed on the person of God’s Precious Son before it’s too late.
God’s policy is strictly by GRACE through FAITH and that is in His Son and nothing at all from us, Jesus did it all, all to Him I owe.
This is not open for discussions take it or leave it! I will not respond, CDBJ

Subject; The first resurrection; Matthew 27:52,53,In Matthew 27:62-68; 28:11-15 the chief priest and Pharisees had the tomb guarded then Christ rose and then the chief priest and elders gave large sums of money to the soldiers to lie and say that his disciples came and stole the body of Christ, these spiritual bodies that rose out of the graves were a second witness that through his death he defeated death (HEBREWS 2:14) which is Satan and through his blood once and for all, Brought salvation through repentance if we break his laws we can be forgiven , and you are right while he was in the tomb for three days he went back to preach to the spirits in prison (Christ called it paradise (EPH 4:11;1 Peter 3;18,19;Luke 23;43 and the great gulf LUKE 16:) and the reason he went back the people that had died up to his death were still under the law and all people are GOD'S children He had to give them the same chance that we have today for salvation, now the people that die up to his second coming the LORD'S DAY the first day of the millennium if they have overcome this is the first resurrection Revelations 20;1-6 5.the rest of the dead lived not again (spiritual dead they will be taught during the millennium ) the ones that overcome in the millennium, they are judged by works only, then comes the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT AND ALL THAT HAVE OVER COME THIS IS REWARD DAY AND THE ONES WHOSE NAME IS NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE THEY ARE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE THEY ARE BLOTTED OUT NEVER NO MORE TO BE REMEMBERED,THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH THE DEATH OF THE SOUL.

Can the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit be separated? Are they not one? And I only repeated what John the Baptist said in Matthew 3:11 and what Christ said in John 3;16 and Luke 23;43.The first commission Luke 24:45-49, The second Mark 16:15-18 and the third Matthew 28:19,20. IF I am understanding what you are saying is that you have to be baptized with water before you can be saved, Acts 10:43-48 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.44. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them which heard the word. 45.And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, be cause that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.46.For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God Then answered Peter.47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we. Was these people baptized with water before they received the Holy Spirit, I believe the question was if a person is not baptized with water and dies would they be saved, and again the malefactor on the cross was not, and Christ told him today he would be with him in paradise Luke 23:43. Christ does the saving and once we comply with John 3:16 I think as we comply what GOD says and not what man thinks. And again I am not sure what you are saying Luke 24:47 the first commission And repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem, the second commission Mark 16:15,16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world. and preach the gospel to ever creature. 16. And he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. the third commission Matthew 28; 19,20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, And of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: if it a lines with GOD'S word is what counts when these commissions were wrote Christ had not ascended back to the Father yet and again it is not what we say it is what GOD'S WORD SAYS. |

In Luke 16:9-31 Jesus tells a parable that incorporates and agrees with the Common Rabbinic teaching of the time. The Rabbinic teaching was that there were two sides of Hades or the holding place of the dead. Likewise in His parable Jesus talks of Hades having two chambers. One side a hot dry place and the other side paradise or Abraham’s bosom. The hot dry side contained the unrighteous dead while the Paradise or Abraham’s bosom side contained those the died before Christ that were righteous and looking for their Messiah to save them.
When Jesus died on the cross he descended into Hades to the Paradise or Abraham’s bosom side and preached the “Good News” then as Eph 4:8 says lead captivity captive to heaven where they now dwell with Jesus.
Paul teaches us in 2 Cor 5:8 that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So when a saved person dies today they go directly into the presence of the Lord.

It was a "holding place" for those who trusted God for the Saviour that was to come! After Jesus died he decended there and set the captives free! Way to go Mark! |
