Meditation of the week: Psalms 91:1-16
Text: Revelation 4:1-11
Word Title: The door of heaven shall be opened two times: for rapture and for judgment

      If there is one of the most unfortunate man born in this world, he  probably doesn’t know who his father is and  has never  met with him. If he not wants to know his father, and not believes that he has ever had his own father, he may be a kind of evil man

      There must be only one ancestor for  seven billion people living in the world. The Bible says, only the Creator can tell who he is. . Neither any book nor man can tell his name at all.  The Bible says that the man’s name is Adam and his wife is Eve: “Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.” (Luke 3:38).
         Unfortunately, when Adam sinned against God, he was forgiven of his sins, but he was kicked out of the Garden of Eden, where he had lived with Heavenly Father, making it impossible for him to meet Heavenly Father for his lifetime, and for his descendants have never seen God for last six thousand years so that they have been destined to live in the prison in the world under the rule of Satan who brought sin.

        God forgave Adam who sinned and gave him a garment made of leather. God drove him out of the Garden of Eden was for him not eat the life tree so that he may have to live forever in the body of sin eternally separated from the living God not to be able to see the Father God.  :

” And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life..” (Genesis 3:22-24)

         After four thousand years have passed since then, God sent the Son of God, who created the heavens, the earth, and the man  in the form of Adam to the world of sin according to the law of his justice so that all who live in the world may be able to see Heavenly Father again. God made his only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, a sacrifice for propitiation  between Heavenly Father and man. Jesus gave His Holy Spirit to all who believe in Him by taking away the sins of the world  making Jesus resurrect on the third day. Thus, he reconciled to Heavenly Father by giving man eternal life that was lost:
“Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;” (Romans 3:25).

        Therefore, by coming as the last Adam and forgiving the sins of the first Adam, it has been possible for anyone who believes in Him can call God as Abba Father:
” And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father..” (Galatians 4:6)
      Before Jesus Christ shed blood, anyone who saw God could not be able to live but unto death. Moses begged God to see God’s glorious face, but he could only see God’s back parts:
” And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen..’ (Exodus 33:20-23).”

         But sooner or later, the door to heaven shall be opened. The heavenly door that was shown to Apostle John two thousand years ago shall  be opened. Sooner or later, when the heavenly door opened and we hear the voice of God, like the trumpet saying “Come up hither!“, and  ascend to the throne of heaven, we shall burst into tears upon see the face of God the Father.  The resurrected Jesus Christ appeared to Apostle John and put him in the Holy Spirit, and  the heavenly door was opened.  Now, through the heavenly door, born again Christians who are reconciled with Heavenly Father shall ascend to heaven through the door of heaven to see the throne of God the Father as Apostle
            Apostle Paul, who died for a while and went to the third heaven, testified to the saints of Thessalonica saying, the saints died in Christ shall resurrect in the holy body first  when Christ appear in the air opening the door of heaven , and the living saints shall also be resurrect also; they shall be caught up together into the air to meet the Lord tyo live with him forever. (1 Thess. 4:16-18).

            When we look at the evidence shown in God’s Word, we can see that the day when the heavenly door opens to bring God’s children to heaven is very near. Not only the world but also the churches of God have been falling away committing blasphemy against God even worse than the time of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah.

         Sooner or later, when the heavenly door opens and we hear the voice of God saying, “Come up hither!”, all the listeners shall go up to heaven together and see all the scenes of the heavenly throne seen by Apostle John. Heavenly Father’s appearance that he saw was like jasper and publicity stone, and we shall see an emerald rainbow that surrounds the throne. We shall also see the twenty-four elders sitting in white clothes around  the throne. On behalf of the Old and New Testament Saints, they represent the riyal Christians who shall come down to the earth with Christ and reign with him. We shall also notice that the lightnings, thunders, and voices we have often seen and heard on earth came from the throne of heaven. We shall also find that the Holy Spirit, which God gave us, is the seven Spirits burning around the throne of God. We shall remember the words  testified through the prophet Isaiah about the seven spirits. Apostle John testified of the heavenly sight he saw as he saw in Revelation 4-5:

” And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;” Isaiah 11:1-2)

          After God moves his children to heaven, even then, the period of the Great Tribulation will be allowed to give the last chance for the Jews, Gentiles, or not saved  churches that have not obeyed the gospel of Christ. Finally, at the end of the Great Tribulation, God will open the heaven once again. This is not to bring someone to heaven, but   the Lord Jesus Christ is about to come down to the world through the door to judge all nations that   not believed in him.

          Prophet Isaiah prophesied of the opening  this door of judgment:

” Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 2As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

3When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. 4For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.” (Isaiah 64:1-4)

         In response to this prophecy, Apostle Paul testified that natural man without the Holy Spirit cannot understand what it means: ” But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).

           King David, as a prophet, prophesied that when the time is coming, the Lord Jesus Christ would open the gates of heaven and appear as Lord of the Lords, King of Kings.

” Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.? “(Psalm 24:7-10)

         Now, when the heavenly door is opened and the children of God who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit are lifted into heaven, God will open the heavenly gate again and send the Lord Jesus Christ to  judge all nations finally that reject to believe in His Only Begotten Son. Even though God made His only-begotten Son slaughtered like a lamb, having endured with love for the past two thousand years , now he cannot help  judging by the law of justice. Apostle John previewed and witnessed this sight in the Holy Spirit:

”   And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great..’” (Revelation 19:11-19)

          How can anyone in the world arguing with God saying  how  the God of love can judge so cruelly?  God has been patient with his love for the last two thousand years, and is the God of love who has even given them the last chance of seven years for them to repent. .

Amen! Hallelujah!
