What Most Churches Won't Tell You About Heaven 

Perfect addition.

Good explanation

Amen 🙏

Jesus indicated that the Heavenly Kingdom would be given to a 'new nation" and removed from Israel. (Matthew 21:43) This is why I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits. That "new nation" consists of Jews and people of all nations numbering 144,000. They are what Paul calls the "Israel of God". (Gal. 6:16) The churches have NOT been sharing the truth that ONLY the 144,000 will go to Heaven, billions will live on earth. Instead, they have preached lies, false man made doctrines that give people a hope that won't happen!

@robertstephenson6806 New Heaven and New Earth are SYMBOLIC, the literal Heavens and the earth will endure forever. (Psalm 104:5) He has established the earth on its foundations; It will not be moved from its place forever and ever. (Psalm 78:69) He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens, Like the earth that he has established forever.

God gave me the smallest glimpse of heaven that I could take. I had to look away or would have been drawn up. The totality of LIFE in Heaven makes everything on earth look like the totality of death. Everything on earth is being created, but is also dying. Jesus came to give us LIFE. Is Heaven going to be way out there? No. We are going to live in the state we were meant to live in. Is God is going to be with us? No, we will be with Him. Just like we are to serve Him, and not the other way around.

@OSULLIVAN101 I understand how this has been misrepresented to you but what you're saying is a misrepresentation Starting with the Bible. It's many things ,many books , historical, poetic ,theology; subjects & events told from different individuals perspectives ,real mysteries & miracles often told as much as questions as answers. In the old testament/torah there are conventions of saying "God did...." which meant 'allowed' & often used to highlight the gulf between us & God referencing moral shortcomings. It's inspired but by poor, faulty, human transmission. Then the NT the resolution, clarification of what God really is like & the correct code or lens to understand the rest of scripture. It is consistent. God is just, is loving & both warnings for our own good and help (& guidance) are given. Those who do not reject the Spirit ,the good taught, to prefer evil won't be judged like those who do. Stealing food from those who won't feed you when you're starving won't cut you off from God's presence. Get a longer/ better explanation of it all (like "love covers many a sin") than you can in a YT comment . Speak to a priest - or ,to a few find one you feel comfortable with, and you'll soon find the answers or be well on the way. Just be open. God bless you.

While heaven is great and wonderful, for most it is just the holding ground pending the descent of New Jerusalem to this planet where we will live for eternity

​@OSULLIVAN101you've unwittingly revealed your deep deep level of ignorance. When or if you really want to know, ask God.

There will be a new heaven and a new earth. There is yet a distinction. The Bible says the New Jerusalem would depend from the heaven of God.

*These words are not mine.* These are the words the Ruach HaKodesh (YAHUAH's Set-Apart Spirit) uttered through me when I prayed to YAHUAH; asking him what *he wants* me to say, knowing the truth: "Know that YAHUAH is the name of the Most High and YAHUsha is the name of The Son. Come out of her, my people, who have fallen to the deceit of Constantine. Who know not my name and say they love me. I have made myself known. I have heard you and I am here. There are many who are yours to be saved. I am he who knows all that you are. Come to me, here are they who are mine. Make haste to come, here are we. Give in to them who speak of me, they are yours. I am here for you. Know that all is for them, here are we. Give not to them that are against me. I am he who sees all you do. Come to me out of her, all are here for me. Do what I say. Out of her, come. All are here." Exodus 3:13-15 KJV 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. John 5:43 KJV 43 *I am come in my Father's name,* and ye receive me not: *if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.* 2 Corinthians 6:17 KJV 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and *touch not the unclean thing;* *and I will receive you.* Isaiah 52:6-7 KJV 6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 KJV 1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) Romans 10:1-3 KJV 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Romans 10:13-17 KJV 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 *How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?* 15 *And how shall they preach, except they be sent?* as it is written, *How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. *For Esaias saith,* Lord, *who hath believed our report?* 17 *So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.* Nahum 1:7 KJV 7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and *he knoweth them that trust in him.* Hebrews 3:15 KJV 15 *While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.* Isaiah 52:11 KJV 11 *Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing;* go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. John 14:15 KJV 15 *If ye love me, keep my commandments.*

"New Heaven" and "New Earth" are S-Y-M-B-O-L-I-C , Almighty God has said the earth and Heaven are eternal, they will stand forever. (Psalm 104:5) He has established the earth on its foundations; It will not be moved from its place forever and ever. (Psalm 78:69) He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens, Like the earth that he has established forever. In the Bible, the term “heavens” can also refer to other ruling powers that are exalted or lifted up above their subject peoples. The very dynasty of Babylonian kings that Nebuchadnezzar represented is described at Isaiah 14:12 as being starlike, a “shining one, son of the dawn.” . The connection of the “heavens” with ruling power aids in understanding the meaning of the expression “new heavens and a new earth” found at Isaiah 65:17; 66:22 and quoted by the apostle Peter at 2 Peter 3:13. Observing such relationship, M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia (1891, Vol. IV, p. 122) comments: “In Isa. lxv, 17, A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH SIGNIFY A NEW GOVERNMENT, GOD'S KINGDOM, RULING OVER A NEW "EARTH" OR SOCIETY OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE.”

Did you teach them God cast Satan out of a new earth?

There is only one body and Christ is the head of that body. How can most churches...i.e. the body not teach the truth? Because many are not accepted. Matthew 7:13-14

You need to rethink your idea of home. the earth is our home, not Heaven. Only the 144,000 are destined for Heaven, they are the "elect", the "Bride", they are those who are 'born again" . No other humans will ever be in Heaven, the churches have given millions a false hope that will never happen!

@@djparsons7363 you are free to believe that if you want. I believe that our Lord and Savior is the ultimate Judge of where I will be; NOT YOU!

@@maryellencook9528 I'm just telling you what the Bible REALLY says, not what the false preachers tell you. God never intended for ANYONE to be in Heaven, read the account in Genesis, what did God want Adam and Eve to do? Become many, FILL the earth with descendants and make the earth a Paradise like Eden was, then live forever on earth. That's it, He said NOTHING about anyone going to Heaven, no humans would ever be in Heaven had Adam and Eve not sinned. That is the reality, you've been lied to about your future, Heaven is not in the picture.

Only the sheep will go to heaven, NOT the goats.

@@dianetigert1310 The sheep don't go to Heaven, they are judged as righteous ones and survive Armageddon and live on into the 1,000 year Kingdom on EARTH. The goats are destroyed, they won't exist to disrupt the order. ONLY the 144,000 inherit the Heavenly Kingdom, your church is not preaching the truth!

God did not make nor dictate the bible - Get a grip.

@@howdydoodey3872 I have absolute faith that the Bible is the Word of God and one day you will know also. II Timothy 3:16 says: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness… The original Greek version of this verse uses the word θεόπνευστος (theopneustos) which means “God-breathed.”

@@howdydoodey3872 Im sorry you don’t believe that God is the author of the Bible. One day you will know the truth. If I am wrong I have nothing to lose. If you are wrong you have everything to lose. :(

In heaven or hell we are always in his prescence... I think alot of songs are written for children who believe babies are in a woman's tummy... for grownups, it's deception

...and when he died, all he left us was ALONE.

No, He sent us His representative to live INSIDE us, the Holy Spirit

The "old" Heaven had passed away (Rev. 21.1).. what happened to the souls in Heaven that passed away? Secondly, as the many Heavens mentioned in the Bible.. which souls go to which Heaven?

@@petermaingi6268 no souls go to heaven to begin with. Read John 3:13

@@rotaryenginepete Oooh my! That's a new one

Exactly. This is not a new subject.

The churches teach a lot things that are not Scriptural.

I had the same question about it when I was young it didn't feel right and didn't match the teaching of the Bible. Years later my understanding was confirmed after reading a book titled "Life-study of John" by W. Lee

​@@rna8arnoldSo what are they made of.

Idk why my comment is here instead of where I put it.

How would you apply Abraham's Bosom and Sheol in to your question?. Because what you are asking is already answered. And as fanciful as your answer to your own question is - there is definately a timeline in Revelation Prophecy - denoting times for certain things to take place in the 'heavenly' realms. Hades is not Hell, nor the Lake of Fire. Hades is simply 'the abode of the dead' analogus to Sheol, where those who were covered by the blood of sacrifice in anticipation of Christ were those released, and whereupon we shall dwell until the resurrection. Eternity is not the absence of time - but is the culmination of time created. Torture? Waiting? I fear you are one of those who are scared you will be 'bored in heaven'.

I watch and read about many Near Death Experiences. I read about and also know people who have gotten to go to “heaven”. All seeing it as a place. Or their loved ones who passed away. Some examples are Sid Roth and Jesse Duplantis. The time thing is irrelevant. Time as we know it God invented to help us mark events or history in a relative reference to when or how long ago.thus the BC and AD and the calandars etc. it’s marked off according to the revolutions around the Sun, degrees and lunar stuff. There is none of that in heaven. “His light” lights it up not a sun. And there is no night. All run by the above mentioned. Time is a fun concept to ponder. Look at time traveling entertainment. Or our dream of turning it back to experience youth again. But I don’t think it’s a thing in Heaven.

Pray - and by Pary I mean do more listening than talking. Get away from gadgets and go somewhere alone - private, wilderness or a closet if your in a city, or a back alley. Physically take on the posture of a servant who worships a God. Get on your knees and put your forehead on the ground - I don't care if it's raining - go do this - position yourself before God and cry out loudly to him with your voice - and then wait upon Him. He will be there. Ask and He will answer. Do this often.

Heaven must be pretty small if it can come to earth, I personally think it should be bigger than the universe

Yup. They try to entice people to church by giving them something they don't even want.

I hope your skepticism is strong enough to investigate the many contradictions, absurdities and outright lies of the NT. I'll start you off. In Matthew 21.1 he has jesus riding on two donkeys. "he put a cloak on them and he sat on them'. Mark, Luke and John all say one donkey. This is not a simple typo. Matthew very clearly fudged Zechariah 9.9.

​@@rf7477This has been talked about and is easily explained. It's not a lie and a contradiction.

@@GEES44DC There are at least a hundred such contradictions in the NT as well as a great many outright lies. "christianity" hasn't even got jesus birthday right. December 25 is a clear sop to the pagans of Rome. Coptic "christians" celebrate it in January. jesus was not even born in Bethlehem. The so-called return to birthplace Roman census is complete nonsense. Easter wanders all over the calendar and there is no consensus among the faithful. If jesus is a son of David then virgin birth is impossible. I'll stop now, but if you let your credulity outgrow your skepticism then your religious faith will have to gloss over all of its lies.

@@rf7477 thankyou for your comment. What i know for sure is Jesus came to earth fully man and fully God. To die for my sins so i can be saved. As long as i believe in that im good. The Bible has been scrutinized since the beginning. And we may not know everything. And thats ok. God will one day answer our questions. I dont think one or two donkeys is enough not to believe. I feel it in my heart that the stories of Jesus are true. Even if the written details may be off. May God bless you on your journey. As for me, i will trust with all my heart, mind and spirit. 🙏

@@lorriepeek5636 The NT has so many contradictions and outright lies that it can be given almost no credibility. Jesus is said to be an educated jewish man. The fact that he roamed the so called holy land for several years but never wrote a single word is highly suspicious. In fact we know almost nothing about him. The liars who wrote the NT decades after jesus death very clearly put words into his mouth. If jesus was jewish he most certainly would not have preached hell. The various stories about his birth, life, persecution, death and resurrection are absurdities. For example, Herod was dead when jesus was born. It is claimed the the jewish priests arrest jesus during passover. That is utter nonsense. Jewish priests did not arrest jewish men during the holiest jewish festival. Very clearly jesus did not die. You can't kill a god and thus his 'sacrifice' is meaningless. Since god is omniscient then he knew the whole thing in advance. A ridiculous charade. The bible has not been thoroughly scrutinized until it was written in English. The bible scholar John Mill found 30,000 variations in the translations. The OT is just a rehash of older myths. If you find the bible difficult to understand then you should engage your own healthy skepticism. god has not blessed anyone, ever.

There is a reason the Book of Enoch was omitted in the Bible.. it talks about good and bad angels.. it talks about spacecraft that took him on a tour around the Earth, and later took him to Heaven at the age of 365 years. These craft in the Book of Enoch sound very much like flying chariots (or flying saucers) and horses of fire.. the Watchers.. long live our non human intelligence species.

Adonai means lord. God is El or Elohim

It was actually YHVH before it was taken out and Adonai put in it's place

@@wh0sjeff l know this. Besides, Eloihim is quoted in Genesis, while YHWH in the rest of the Tanakh, pronounced Adonai by Jews out of respect not to misrespect God.

​@@andrejgrebenc3235God has gone by many names. No disrespect in any of them.

I have no idea what dewdrop said but I agree with what you said.

That’s underwhelming

Hi. Do you mean the link for the free book? You shouldn’t have to set up an email account. Just go to www.brandonrobbinsministry.com/10words

That's the problem, people interpreting Scripture instead of just reading what it actually says.

The new heaven is the sky. There will not be a sun.

Jewish customs.

@@GEES44DC and?

@@GEES44DC so. Let me ask a question because Jewish customs is not really an answer. Let me clear up that im not part of SDA. Im a christain bought up in a pentacostal church. Now im the 10 commandments it clearly states do not forsake the sabbath written by Gods hand and placed in the ark. Mosaic law written by the hand of moses was placed next to the ark. But the general church will not keep the sabbath but will most definitely teach on tithing. It all seems a little inconsistent to me. So when i asked the question it was not with an agenda but rather i was looking for clarity

@@andresullivan6473 The 10 commandments were given to the Jewish people. Those were not laws given to the Gentile people. They were laws put in place for them to observe and use as a stepping stone until Jesus came and gave us the Holy Spirit. Pretty much all of the Mosaic and Levitical laws given to the Jews are not applicable to us as they were meant to keep them separate from the other cultures until Jesus came and united Jew and Gentile.

@@andresullivan6473 Your moral laws are largely still in place because Jesus reaffirmed them. Your civil laws, societal laws, food laws etc., are not and were never applicable to Gentile people. We don't need the law anymore because we have Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
