    No. The Bible speaks of a great clouds of witnesses. There is no mention of them seeing people on earth.

    Why would we want them to see (future) pre-Rapture events taking place. Matthew 24 and Luke 21 are happening now. We need to get our heads out of Social Media chat, and look at SIGNS occurring on Earth right this minute.

    YouTube: TWO PREACHERS, NELSON WALTERS

    Today USA is shown to be in severe drought__in springtime! Half the nation is in severe drought. Go look.

    Half our nation is unable to PRODUCE FOOD AS USUAL. That's why grocery prices are escalating higher and higher.

    All these SIGNS point to one thing__or to one Person. Jesus is about to return and catch up His Believers.

    1 THOUGHT LEADERS are going to form a one world BANK AND WORLD-WIDE form of currency. Oil & Gas Wars have already begun.

    2. Their one world RELIGION is GREEN EARTH. Electric cars. GLOBAL WARMING. what's the use of electric Energy if there is NO WATER in the lakes, rivers, etc.

    See my point?

    People are dabbling with HAARP Weather making devises (readily available for a price). Problem is, the massive floods they cause. Again, no crops grown_no food in the stores.

    People/Politicians are "in" on this. They are not "for" the little people that pin their hopes on them; to solve the problems.

    I'm not going to say anything else today. Just look at what I have told of. Prove me false or true.

    Please please wake up. See the Truth.

    Forget buzzwords!

    Read God's Word. All of this is in the Bible.

    Mishael, I was thinking of that very verse when I read this question. We should be encouraged to know that there are millions and millions who have gone before us in faith and attaining to the prize of taking hold of Jesus and receiving the crown of glory.

    Please note it starts: Hebrews 12:1, "Wherefore seeing we also ._.._"

    Indicates this is connected to another statement. Please read Hebrews 11, then read Hebrews 12, together for better conext. Actually I believe starting with Hebrews 10:36-39, into Hebrews 11, continuing to Hebrews 12. Will give a more complete understanding of what's written.

    Please remember the division in chapters & verses didn't exist when these Bible Books/Letters were written

    Hopefully this is helpful in your study

    I picked that verse because We're getting so many questions about: "can people in heaven see us on earth?"

    Maybe you can figure a better way to answer that question. There's more inquiries in the rooms now.

    I don't believe in that. Im at a loss of why people want to think that anyway?

    I've heard people say they witnessed loved ones say they were seeing other people in the room that had passed away beforehand as that loved one was dying.

    I witnessed something like that. Days before a loved one passed he said hello to a neighbor that came into the room & her husband that had died years earlier.

    They may be asking because of deathbed visions or something supernatural. If Moses can visit Jesus before death, even though it records Moses died. Deuteronomy 34, Then a visit fits within scripture: Matthew 17,

    Mishael,

    I think like you, why do people want to know if those who have died can see our life and circumstances? I think the Bible gives warnings against wanting to communicate with those who have passed on. I am not saying that people who ask the above question want to do this, but I think that they still want to have some sort of connection between loved ones who have passed and themselves still living in this life. I am not like that. I do not wonder if my Dad is "watching over me" or even thinking of me. He is with the Lord, and I am happy he is! I will go to be with the Lord also, and most likely be able to know my Dad in this heavenly state as well. But I can wait because I just don't think that God wants us to know too much about the next life while we are still in this life. Our focus is on God, in His Son Jesus, who is our Savior and Lord, and we are enlivened by the indwelling Holy Spirit, who teaches us all that we is profitable to know.

    But I do think that some people really miss their loved ones and feel a big void where that deceased person occupied in this life for the living person. Processing loss and grief differs from person to person. The degree of attachment a person has with another is most likely a big factor when someone we love dies. So, compassion is always appropriate towards others.

    Have a good evening, Mishael.

    I cannot describe how much I miss my parents and grandparents. Like you said, I had to decide to live in the NOW.

    So when the Lord called me into evangelism, I went. I made mistakes, but my heart was pure. I didn't have time to think how people had treated me prior, before I was saved.

    Jesus helped me be "one of those people" that you feel you've known many years. Good news carrier with feet lol.

    I have happy expectation about heaven. To see family, friends, people I prayed with, and for. I'm still here, so I'm always looking at faces to see that one person who sees the Light of Jesus, on my face. Old age isn't happening. I've got all this hope to give away, before the "door is closed".

    Hebrews 11:1

    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    John 14:1

    Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

    John 10:38

    But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

    John 5:47

    But if ye believe not his writings, [Bible] how shall ye believe my words?

    Love these little verses!!
