Luke 21 - The Gulf In Heaven - Where Are the Dead?
5th Seal Where Are The Dead?
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the
word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
-
Ecclesiastes 12:6 Then shall the dust
return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it.
-
Fifth Seal open, Notice, the souls
are
under the altar, not in the ground
-
As the eulogies say in a the ground
in a burial service
-
Your
soul goes back to God, from whence it came
-
They are saying... how long Lord?
10 And they cried with a loud voice,
saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
-
Notice the souls are under the
altar, not in the ground.
-
Your
soul goes back to God, from whence they came.
-
The phrase, "avenge our blood on
them on earth", proves that they had been in this world and were
offended by the children of Satan.
-
Souls that were killed by Satan
Children's - John was beheaded...etc..
11 And white robes were given unto every
one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest
yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and
their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be
fulfilled.
-
Fifth Seal open to them on
earth, The Father is saying in Mark 13:9, This Must come to
pass before He avenges their blood. This is to say that the very
elect, Will be delivered up for refusing to accept the false christ.
The Lord will speak through you and the truth will go out to the
entire world, It is your destiny.
-
His word, the truth is the
two-edged sword; the very voice of God will speak through you.
-
He will be using His elect as a
tool to speak through them. His word, the truth is the two-edged
sword; The elect will be part of the sword.
-
Act 2:3 And there appeared unto
them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance
-
Luke 21:18 But there shall not an
hair of your head perish.
Luke 16:1 And he
said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man,
which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he
had wasted his goods.
-
Parable of the rich man and poor man
-
If God gives you a gift use it
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How
is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy
stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
-
He's saying, open up these books, I want to see
if you been dishonest.
-
We're all servants and all will be judge for
what you have done.
3 Then the steward said within himself,
What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the
stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
-
The steward not going to dig holes or beg.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am
put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their
houses.
-
If you're going to be crooked, know what house
you're dealing for.
5 So he called every one of his lord's
debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou
unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil.
And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and
write fifty.
-
He cut it in half... he dishonest. What kind of
mind does he have?
7 Then said he to another, And how much
owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he
said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
-
He's saying do this right away, he cutting
deals; this is example of wisdom of this world.
-
The unjust think it's okay to rip off someone
-
Fourscore is 80
8 And the lord commended the unjust
steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this
world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
-
What kind of wisdom is He talking about?
-
They are wiser to do evil of this world, this
wisdom is of Satan
-
It's good to know street smarts, but don't take
any part of it.
-
The unjust are dishonest; they won't do anything
right in this world.
-
Do you think God's going to give them truth or
money, etc..
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves
friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail,
they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
-
God's not going to give you any blessing.
-
Work for what you need, and God will bless you
-
It's not good to rip off people.
-
The unjust looks for someone to rip off, they
like it.
10 He that is faithful in that which is
least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the
least is unjust also in much.
-
Crooked is crooked - Dishonest person only care
about himself, also in spiritually things
-
Honest is honest, these will help someone when
they can
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful
in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the
true riches?
-
True riches is Knowledge and Wisdom of God's
word
-
You have to work for what you need, to keep your
job or studying God's word
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that
which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your
own?
-
God will only give you what you can take care
of. Because someone will come and rip you off.
-
Because, You won't have any knowledge
13 No servant can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon.
-
You cannot serve God and be unjust or crooked
-
There nothing wrong with being rich, if you're
working and doing things right, being honestly.
-
If you are crooked and rip off people, you're
not going to have any blessing.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were
covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
-
They loved their money, that's what they live
for.
-
Watch the media of today and Kenites.
-
2 Tim 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
-
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away.
-
Derided means they mock the Christians, they
turn up their nose. They think they're better
than others, saying look what I have. They have
no time for God they live as the world
-
We see allot of this ... watch the media ...
they turn right into wrong and wrong into right.
-
Most media think they are gods, it's their way
to attack the Christians ... they are followers
of Satan, saying you're a hater... if you don't
... do as they say. (Revelation 13, false lion)
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which
justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for
that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the
sight of God.
-
God knoweth your hearts, God knows what you
are thinking
-
Self-righteous people, which will lie to get
ahead
-
When people rip people off, do you think the
Lord is going to bless this person?
-
If you're working on a job, and if you think you
come to work just to be there and never do your
job, this is dishonest, this is unjust.
16 The law and the prophets were until
John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every
man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and
earth to pass, than one title of the law to fail.
-
There will always be law, God said, If ye love
Me, keep My commandments.
-
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my
commandments.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and
marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth
her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
-
Deut 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman
married to an husband, then they shall
both of them die, both the man that lay
with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put
away evil from Israel.
-
Deut 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and
married her, and it come to pass that she find
no favour in his eyes, because he hath found
some uncleanness in her: then let him
write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in
her hand, and send her out of his house.
-
Salvation sets us free, through repentances
-
Christ is able to forgive sin.
-
Adultery is not the unforgivable sin
-
The woman at the well (John 4)
-
The scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery
(John 8)
-
They didn't bring the man
-
Jesus said, Woman where is your accusers (John
8)
-
Jesus forgave the woman, but man will not.
-
Man thinks, the man done nothing wrong.
-
Satan's fall was because he wanted to be God
(Ezekiel 28)
19 There was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every
day:
-
Parable of the rich man and the
beggar named Lazarus
-
The rich man had it made; this man has more than
he knew what to do with.
20 And there was a certain beggar named
Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
-
Certain beggar named Lazarus, Which
was laid at his gate, full of sores
-
Laid means cast down
-
Sores are ulcer
-
He was cast down at the gate, full of sores
begging for food
-
He was asking for food from the rich man.
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs
which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and
licked his sores.
-
Desiring = eagerly desiring; but in vain as in would fain
-
With = from
-
Moreover = but (instead of find food)
-
Sores are ulcer
-
The poor man had ulcers about to fain. He was cast down at the gate,
begging for food
-
This man has more than he needed, but wouldn't help the sick man.
-
He is saying, the dogs were willing to help the man. This is showing
the dogs
had more compassion than the rich man.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar
died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the
rich man also died, and was buried;
-
The beggar died and was carried by
the angels, Into Abraham's bosom. He's
in heaven with the Lord.
-
He was raising and changed into his
own spiritual body, and he is
resurrected
to Immortality (deathlessness soul), means alive with the Lord.
-
Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it,
he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you,
I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11 And I say
unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit
down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
-
The rich man also died
and was
buried. He was raising and changed into his own spiritual body, but
he still has his mortal soul meaning liable to die soul.
-
He's on the left side of the gulf
in heaven with the unbelievers.
-
Hell
means "Hades" or the place (state) of departed souls: grave, hell
is a
holding place until the millennium.
-
Why is he
on the left side of heaven? It's
not
because he's rich.
-
It's because of his works, and he did not have
compassion, he didn't care about anyone, but himself.
-
He had more then what he needed, but he would
not even give the poor man crumbs.
-
Many people would said, it's because he's rich.
-
If you work and earn your money the honest way, there's nothing
wrong with having money.
-
Many people are rich, thy have compassion, they
help the poor, they support their community and feed the poor.
-
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident,
I say, and willing rather to be
absent from the body, and to be
present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we
labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For
we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.
-
What did Jesus
said, all
appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
whether
it is good or bad.
-
Did it say, Money or
works?
-
Verse 10,
every one may
receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.
-
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of
his Father with his angels; and then
he
shall reward every man according to his
works.
Revelation
14:12
Here is the patience of the saints: here
are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard
a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord
from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from
their labours; and their works
do follow them.
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being
in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his
bosom.
-
Where are the dead? They are in heaven.
-
The gulf is a holding place until the millennium
-
Hell means "Hades"
or the place (state) of departed souls: grave, hell.
-
John 14:1 Let not your
heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it
were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you.
-
Resting Places is the gulf in heaven a holding place,
until the millennium.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am,
there ye may be also.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident,
I say, and willing
rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with
the Lord.
9 Wherefore we
labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must
all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things
done in his body,
according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.
What did
Jesus said =
all appear before the judgment seat of Christ =
whether it be good or bad. Where was the
rich man?
He knows he's on the wrong side of
heaven. He can
see Abraham afar off and Lazarus in
his bosom.
What is this torment?
He's ashamed, embarrassed by feeling of guilt,
he knows he has done wrong.
He's on
the left side of heaven, he knows he still has his mortal soul,
liable to die soul
He has
to watch the beggar Lazarus in comforted every day.
He being rich could have what he
wanted, now he is judged by God
He has to wait until the millennium
(1000 years) to be taught. After the millennium he will be judged
again.
Revelation 20 and Ezekiel 44
the millennium
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
They Will be taught the true word
of God in the millennium - 1000 years with the Lord
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham,
have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of
his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in
this flame.
-
Tormented means distressed
-
May dip the tip of his finger in the living water, Revelation 22:1
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of
the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river,
was there the tree of life, which bare twelve
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves
of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
-
He has to wait unto the millennium, he will be taught God's word,
and he will be judged after the millennium again. (Revelation 20)
-
There is no life without God.
-
Eccl 9:3 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know
not any thing, neither have they anymore a reward; for the memory of
them is forgotten.
-
Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living:
ye therefore do greatly err.
-
Water is the Living Water
-
Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne
shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains
of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes.
-
Revelation 22:2 And he shewed me a pure river of water of
life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the
throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river,
was there the tree of life, which bare twelve
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves
of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
-
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him
that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
-
Luke 23:31 We know that, Christ is
the tree. Because only Gods gives life.
-
The fruit are for the enjoyment of
Israel who dwell within the new city.
-
The leaves are for the healing of
the nations both in and out of the city.
-
Ezekiel 47:12 And by the river upon
the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all
trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit
thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his
months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and
the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and
the leaf thereof for medicine.
-
We know that sickness was done away
with in Revelation 21:4
-
Here we see a divine provision for
preserving joy and fulfillment
-
Which is never boring or even
coming near boredom throughout all eternity
-
Flame means ashamed, embarrassed by feeling of guilt, he knows he
has done wrong
-
You can see in heaven, money won't get you anything
-
Hell does not come into fact, until after the millennium
-
Gulf is a holding place until the millennium
-
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and
ever.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that
thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise
Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art
tormented.
-
Abraham said, Son remember that
thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things
-
lifetime = life, As being the
opposite of death.
-
He can see the poor man, but he cannot pass.
-
This is
distressed to see the poor man in comforted and he knows he still
has a liable to die soul; he has to watch this every day, until the
millennium.
-
The reason for
the distressed will be tension, anxiety, worry, he going have wait
until the millennium, and be taught another 1000 years, before he is
judge again.
-
The people who don't have the
knowledge and truth, which act as a buffer to the worldly problems,
are going to get ulcers.
-
Revelation 20
Then he will be taught God's word, and tested again after the 1000

Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return
unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath
smitten, and he will bind us up.

us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his
sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:
his going forth is prepared as the morning; and
he shall come unto us as the rain, as the
latter and former rain unto the earth.
26 And beside all this, between us and you
there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from
hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would
come from thence.
-
The gulf is a holding place until the millennium
-
Between us and you there is a great
gulf fixed: Neither can they
pass from one side to another.
-
The good on the right side of the gulf and the
wicked is on the left side of the gulf.
-

heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

place for you.
-
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am,
there ye may be also.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore,
father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest
they also come into this place of torment.
-
Now he has
compassion, he's in his spiritual body. But, It's too late.
Now he wants to teach the word of God, he wants
to help his family.
-
It's too late, he has to wait in torment until the millennium
-
He can see the other side of Heaven, everyone happy; these are with
the Lord with "Resurrection,
Immortality (deathlessness) soul, alive with Christ "means
an instant change into the eternal spiritual state.
-
He still has a mortal soul, liable to die soul.
-
Torment means he still has his mortal soul, he gets to watch
the beggar in paradise every day, now this
is torment. He is naked no white roles.
-
Righteousness Acts, Your Works are
the only thing you can take with you, after the death of the flesh, NO

for the fine linen is
the
righteousness of saints.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses
and the prophets; let them hear them.

They have
Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
-
He is
saying ... they have the Bible

one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
-

believe Him

If they
hear not Moses and the prophets,
Neither
will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
