Isaiah 6:3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
yesterday i was in our small bible study group and the topic was about heaven. One guy has been talking about heaven from what the Bible syas about it for a few days now. Something clicked for me that I understood before but now made more sense to me. When he was talking about how people have different ideas on what happens when we die, do we immediately go to heaven or wait to be awoken as the bible says our bodies sleep when we die.
That made me think of the verses in the bible when Jesus died and spent 3 days in hell and paradise, to take the keys from hell and bring the old testament saints to be ressurected with him.
matthew 27:50-53
50 “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost”
51 “and, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;”
52 ” and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saint which slept arose”
53 “and come out of the graves after his ressurection, and went into the holy city, an appeared unto many”
Jesus, His spirit was alive and moving in hell and paradise. the saints spirits were alive and moving since their deaths in paradise. their bodies were asleep in the graves. When the earthquake happened it opened the graves, ready for when Jesus arose and He brought the saints with Him! They were walking around, some people think how could the bodies come back, they were just skeletons. But the God who made everything makes it possible, nothing is too hard for Him!
This gives me a picture of what death looks like. We die and our spirits are still going on, we ressurect with Christ and live for Him and be a witness to others. Then we are taken up with the Lord into Heaven. The most important factor about Heaven is that is where God is!

We will have new resurrected bodies when Jesus comes back. Our living souls, believers in Jesus are with all the Saints in heaven and our shell, the dead decaying flesh lies in a grave asleep. And when Christ comes back he will raise the dead first…those dead bodies will become perfect bodies. Then those who are alive will be caught up in the clouds and made new. Praise the Lord God Almighty
Remember the thief on the cross? Jesus told him, Today you will be with me in paradise.
That’s another indication our spirits will go to heaven when we die. We’re like a present in a box. Our spirit lives on forever and our container is shed off until Jesus returns.
I pray the Lord Bless you and keep all of you in his hands and soon one day you will all be free. Amen
