In my view,according to the Word of GOD,there are the 1st,2nd and 3rd heavens,and the heaven of the heavens.
What does the Word of GOD say?
Moses said: Deuteronomy 10:14KJV->Behold,the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy GOD, the earth also, with all that therein is.
1Kings 8:27KJV->27 But will GOD indeed dwell on the earth?behold,the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
Psalms 33:6KJV->By the Word of the Lord were the HEAVENS made;and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
Psalms 148:4KJV-4 Praise him,ye heavens of heavens,and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Job 14:12->12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
When Scriptures say heaven(singular) they refer to a specific heaven, i.e. to one of the four heavens GOD created, understand? The problem is to discern which of them Scriptures refer.
So,when you intend to post a message,you should FIRST to judge if your message fits with the Word of GOD or not,and if not fit with Scriptures, don't post it. Paul Apostle,was caught to the 3rd heaven, once 3rd heaven exists, also exist the 1st and 2nd heavens.
Re.12:12-Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them( Ephesians 1:3-8). Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!for the Devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
Furthermore,you said the modern versions are not Holy Ghost inspired like the KJB is,put an 's' implying plural heavens but the Holy Spirit wrote it as one heaven. Now,to say that the modern versions of the Word of GOD are not inspired by the Holy Spirit is a serious error, in fact what you wrote was/is not inspired by the Holy Spirit,in fact you need to rethink the things you wrote for good to them that love GOD,to them who are the called according to His purpose.
The Father ONLY sees the COMPLETED works of Christ and his cross.
He has SENT his WORD, the Spirit of truth, so creation can also SEE what OUR Father sees, the COMPLETED works of the cross of Christ, HAVING RECONCILED the world to himself.
Jesus said go and tell John, the lame walk, the blind see and the dead are raised.
We see NOT YET, all things put under him, because in this age he is is ONLY calling out a PREISTHOOD, the image of HIMSELF, to judge the world with him.
Isaiah 26:9 ...for when THY JUDGEMENTS are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS .......
Proverbs 16:6 By MERCY (of God) and TRUTH (of God) INIQUITY is purged.....
Psalms 148:9 To execute upon them the judgement written, this HONOUR hath all his saints.
The "Gates of Hell" will NOT prevail against the Church!
It's the Church on offence in this battle with Christ as our Victor.
That reminds me of Daniel 7:25. And he/Antichrist. shall speak great words against the most High, AND SHALL WEAR OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
You see ,This couldn't be the SAINTS/Church! Israel is also called saints.
Psalms 148:14.
Psalms 50:5-7.
The Church is not on the scene. In fact the antichrist can't come on the scene until the Church is removed.
2 Thessalonians 2:6-9. And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: ONLY HE/HOLYSPIRIT WHO NOW LETTETH WILL LET, UNTIL HE BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY.
And then shall that Wicked/Antichrist be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
To answer your question, we should let the Bible tell us or define "Who" the "Saints" are. For the Bible says to lean NOT unto thine OWN understanding.
"Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice." Psalms 50:5 KJV
- according to scripture, The Israelites of the Bible are the only nation to make a covenant with God by sacrifice - "And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the COVENANT, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words." Exodus 24:8 KJV. Refer to Exodus 24:7 as well as they made a blood in, blood out agreement by the blood of an animal - sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
"He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD." Psalms 148:14 KJV - The word "even" throughout the Bible means "indeed". Knowing this, this is another verse that tells us the "Saints" of the Bible are the Israelites, which is all twelve tribes. The Bible defines itself for the most part if not all parts. Hope this helps, as the scriptures are the truth.
The scripture tells that WE (after the death of the flesh and blood body) will BECOME like the ANGELS.
Psalms 103:20 Bless the Lord ye his angels ....
Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirit; his ministers (his priests) a flaming fire.
John 3:6 ....that which is born (again) of Spirit is spirit.
Psalms 148:2 Praise him all ye ANGELS .....
Luke 20:36 Neither can they (those resurrected with Christ) died anymore, for THEY (those chosen to be part of the first resurrection) are EQUAL unto THE ANGELS; and are the children of God, being the CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION.
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers (or possibly someone you have known); for there by SOME (possibly you) have entertained ANGELS UNAWARE.
In the Old Testament Angels; appearing as men, appeared to several.
Christ (the first man) also appearing as the Angel of the Lord.
I would not get freaked out about: THE WORKS of THE LORD.
Revelation 8:7 And the first angel sounded, And there followed hail mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and a THIRD PART of the trees were burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.
Isaiah 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one (Christ), which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, and a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to earth with his hand.
Psalms 18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
Psalms 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens (in us), and the Highest gave his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.
Psalms 148:8 Fire, and hail; snow and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Ezekiel 20:47 And say to the forest of the south, hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD God; Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming fire shall not be quenched, and all faces from the north to the south shall be burned therein.
Read Ezekiel 28:12-19. take note of verses 14 and 15.
" Ezekiel 28:14-15. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast "CREATED", till iniquity was found in thee."
Psalms 148:2-5. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
" Let THEM praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were CREATED."
Colossians 1:16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Msconnie, may the Spirit (truth) grace you with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
Very FEW understand the kingdom or heaven or HEAVEN or THE GOSPEL or the good news.
WHERE DOES GOD DWELL?
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God IS WITHIN YOU.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you?
1 Kings 8:27 But will God indeed DWELL ON THE EARTH? behold the HEAVEN and HEAVEN OF HEAVENS cannot contain THEE; how much less this HOUSE (TEMPLE) that I have builded?
Hebrews 3:6 For Christ is a Son over his own HOUSE; whose HOUSE WE ARE....
Hebrews 9:1-2 .....WE have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the THRONE ( Isaiah 66:1) of the majesty in the HEAVENS; (YOU)
(vs 2) A minister of the sanctuary, and TRUE TABERNACLE, which the Lord pitched and not man.
Psalms 148:4 Praise him, YE HEAVEN OF HEAVENS...
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in HEAVEN....
Hebrews 12:23
Romans 8:29
Colossians 1:27 .....CHRIST IN YOU
You never die if ye are born of the SPIRIT you just change bodies.
Thank you Mr. Hilt. That is what I was thinking, but couldn't remember exactly what The Word of God said, or where to find it. I do so appreciate your help!
That's not true. His earth dad, Joseph, grew up with the Torah no doubt and had knowledge about the awaited Messiah. He just didn't know Mary had been chosen; and he had been chosen. Both were descended from King David; very distant cousins.
Slowly study Luke 1-2. Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart! Mary and Joseph both knew that Jesus was theirs only a little time.
Vicki here you go: Matthew 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Mark Chapter 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].
Yes please can you tell me what this may mean? My brother died last year at a early age my mom died a month later I was so very sad. When they died I found two white feathers at my house. One actually stuck too my glasses a year later my only aunt died and I found a feather on my leather couch . I found another feather today on my bedroom floor and a month ago when I woke up one was on my dresser . Could this mean angels are near? I never got feathers in my house before I do not know how to explain this. He says he will cover you with his feathers in the bible . Can you tell me what this means please? I am a little confused about this can you help me please.
Let me help you - First figure out "who" the "Saints" are: Psalms 148:14-He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD. According to this verse, the "saints" are Israelite's and no other nationality. Also look at Psalms 50:5 The word "Rapture" isn't even in the Bible, but ppl talk it up like it is
Isaiah 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. Psalms 107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. Psalms 148:8 Fire, and hail snow, and vapour stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Gates in scripture is used as defense for a city.
The "Gates of Hell" will NOT prevail against the Church!
It's the Church on offence in this battle with Christ as our Victor.
