We are told that we shall know as He knows in scripture! Is this a general knowledge of His works in the Earth and our personal lives?! Or knowledge of God himself, as He knows us completely?! TR TR, I believe God gives us His intended revelation as He opens our eyes. Ecclesiastes 3:11 talks about God hiding from man what He will do from the beginning to the end … I do not believe man (or woman :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: ) has the brain capacity to understand the wisdom of an infinite God. :unsure: I also believe that God wants us to know the day and hour of our departure and we all certainly understand the season is upon us … but I am not convinced that we (humans) do not have the ability to understand, except God reveal it in simplistic terms … my uneducated guess is that it is probably right in front of us and a child would see it but we tend to “over” think everything and fix it to our understanding, so we miss seeing it …. Jesus imparts understanding of the things that He has told them and he did tell them. Just my two cents :mdrmdr: :unsure: :prayer-hands: I fully anticipate to having our brain capacity restored, as like new! I need to have all the help I can! In regards to my question, I believe that the revealed knowledge of God will only continue in every aspect! To include the work of His hands, as well as a greater level of intimacy, revealing more of His heart! TR Again, restoration, revelation and reinvention as we will operate and maintain a new position in glory! My views on a high sign have long been revealed! That said, I must also reiterate that it will not necessarily be revealed intellectually but rather a quickening of our spirits sometime prior to the Rapture! This will also be in keeping with His character and past interactions! Lastly, being His bride speaks of enhanced intimacy following 7days/yrs together in the chuppa! TR Any such quickening of our spirits will precede the injunction of "come up hither"! As Jonn heard! TR And if the phrase John heard is in any way prophetic in nature, we might also hear those same words! TR Interesting your query … I am awaiting the arrival of a new book by Timothy Alberino called Birth Right. Some amazing new thoughts regarding the reason for the beginning of Mankind, the war in heaven, the future abode of humanity (in my Father’s house). He takes apart the book of Enoch as well and his explanation of the fallen angels and the “deal” between now fallen man and the taking of human wives is so incredibly simple …. Have you ever wondered why the cherubim was guarding the entrance to the garden of Eden — the question for thought (he acknowledges there is no proof for this thought, just speculation) is this angel guarding the “worm hole” for a lack of a better name, the entrance or portal to the Kingdom of Heaven. As I said — the answers are probably right in front of us …. :prayer-hands: I saw the video that Stearman did with him on Prophecy Watchers and I thought that book sounded very cool! You will have to let me know how it is! “angel guarding the “worm hole” for a lack of a better name, the entrance or portal to the Kingdom of Heaven.” Tammie, Was he implying gateway portal entrances in the center of the earth (temporary paradise spot (Abraham Bosom) or a gateway thru the canopy up to the 3rd heaven? I read some people believe “the city of Jerusalem is a portal. In fact, it is the major portal on the face of the Earth. That's why both David and Isaiah said that Jerusalem is the center of the earth.” In Luke 16 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 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. I find it interesting that the rich man in hades and the others could see and talk to the O.T. saints in that temporary compartment called Paradise and that the rich man knew who father Abraham was and why did he singled him out vs. Adam and Eve or David, Daniel, Noah, etc. And was the rich man a Jewish man or a Muslim? And now that the compartment is empty because Jesus brought the believers up to the 3rd heaven … is it total darkness in hades now or can the lost still see with spiritual eyes the portal / gateway to the 3rd heaven? :unsure: Jesus is the “Door of Heaven” and in Revelation 4:1 “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” Truly, our faith gifted in part of knowing our Lord God Who never leaves us, is His Love known to us . . Our Heavenly Father's desire to be amazingly close to us through Jesus is breathtaking, isn't it ~~ that we are invited to know Him intimately, One on one ~~ and loving His entire Bride collectively, HOW unfathomably great our God is . . yea, the Great "I AM" delights to hold us each close to His Heart, as well, all His children at the same moment . . , ~ Hallelujah! ~ ~ ~ I like too, knowing each of us are very much invited to express communion with our Living Adored God even in secret, moments just between God and His child ~ ~ ~ what a gift, to know God loves the uniqueness of each of His children, expressing love to Him . . ~ in His keeping ~forever . .
