Re: "After The Rapture" HOW LONG DO WE STAY IN HEAVEN BEFORE WE COME BACK TO EAR
All your life
Genesis 1:8. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
The firmament is our atmosphere. we are already in heaven, or hell, depending upon how you lived your life, for as you have done, God will do to you. In order to understand what is waiting or us when we enter the Kingdom of God, You have to know the original meanings of the Hebrew letters and read it in the Old Testament. There were originally over 400 letters with individual meanings after the return from Babylon they were reduced to 22, if you go to Psalm 119 you can see them. Psalm 119 is divided into 22 sections of 8 verses each. The psalmist started each line with a single letter of the alphabet. Verse 1-8 started with the letter aleph, your Bible may have the Hebrew letter along with it's name at the beginning Schofields do. Most modern versions don't. the verses continue that way going through the whole alphabet, except for the letter variations, like the closed mem, the final nun, the final pe, and the final tzaddi. Which makes for a true letter count of 26. Some scholars have also created a "shen" which is just a "shin" with different vowel pointing, which are meaningless. These leters were the ones used during the Egyptian enslavement because they dealt with the family, and it's future. As a result no mater where you go in the Old Testament, you will find a statement of life in the Kingdom, where you will be perfect, your spouse will be perfect, your kids will be perfect, you will arrive with all of your memories, you will meet your soul mate as a child, and you will be together all of your lives. When your body wears out, God will give you a new one, and when you arrive here back on this earth, so will your soul mate, and you will begin again. Forever with the same person, though you will have different bodies, you will look different, but your personality will remain the same you will always be you. There is no rapture !! God doesn't work that way.
