Title: God’s Plan Escaping his people from the Present World to Refuge in heaven
Since Satan brought sin, death, and curse to this world, the earth has been turned into a miserable prison made by the Satan. But God has planned to kill and destroy the devil and proclaim it to the serpent Satan (Gen. 3:15). In addition, God has created a plan to move those who believe and obey His plan from this ruined earth to the heavenly refuge.
The first man translated to heaven was Enoch, who walked with God for three hundred years. And God chose Noah, the only man who found grace in God’s eyes, and chose them by calling Abraham among his offspring to be circumcised. He also chose his grandson Jacob and chose his descendants as his people.
He gave them the Law and opened the way for their sins to be forgiven through the Law. God shed the beast’s blood to cleanse the sins of their flesh. But because of the blood of the beasts, they could not purify their souls, so that they could not enter the refuge in heaven after death. Finally, they rose from the grave and entered the heavenly refuge as Apostle Matthew testified:
That’s right! They followed Enoch to an refuge in heaven from the earth worse than ancient Egypt. It was not Exodus from Egypt but from the earth. Apostle Paul testified of how they were brought to heaven’s refuge:
Christ Jesus, the seed of the woman who appeared at the end of the world to destroy the Devil and his work (sin, death, and curse), became the Lamb of God who removed the sins of the world, crucified the sins of the law, shed His blood, died, and resurrected. He was to save the souls of all who believed in Him (1 Peter 1: 9). Since then, so many Christians have been persecuted in the past two thousand years, wandering in the world, living the lives of pilgrims, and have been buried in the graves. But their spirit and soul had already escaped to heaven’s refuge by the hands of angels. Now they are waiting to escape to heaven, without leaving their flesh and bones on the earth. Indeed, the living Christians are also waiting for Christ’s Day, the day of the rapture, when the Lord Jesus Christ appears in the air and calls upon their names to change their bodies immortal and incorruptible, and escape with them to the refuge in heaven.
Apostle Paul testified of the rapture of the Old Testament saints and the rapture of the New Testament Saints when he wrote to the Corinthian Saints:
That’s right! We Christians will soon become Christ‘s on the day of Christ Jesus, who will reappear, and our spirits, souls, and bodies shall escape from this hellish world under Satan’s reigning and be moved to the place of our refuge in heaven, to our Father God. . We shall go to heaven with a glorified body that no longer dies or corrupts. It will be an incomparable day comparing to the joy of the ancient Israelites’ escaped from the slavery of Egypt for 400 years. As Joseph did not leave did not leave his bones in Egypt, we shall not leave even a piece of our bones in the hellish world dominated by the Devil.
Apostle Paul testified to the Saints in Thessalonica who eagerly awaited the day when this would happen:
But when the great tribulation hits the world, following the day of Christ, all
the Jews and the Gentiles (including those who are not born again Christians) shall all go through the great tribulation and suffer greatly. But God will move the rest of the Jews and Gentiles to heaven who repent, believe in Jesus, and keep the commandments. Apostle John testified of those who would ascend to heaven among the remnant of the Jews:
That’s right! God of our refuge planed to destroy the devil and move his people, the Gentiles, and his bride, his church, to the safe place in heaven. Not only will he take the Devil and let him rule no more the world anymore, but he will have his people dwell in his restored heavens and earth, and at the end of the millennium, he will finally judge all nations, He is establishing His eternal kingdom in the new heavens and earth without any curses.
