Ok. Where are the Gates? Heaven? Where Gods Throne is?
the king shows us where
“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them,
he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
Mark 16:19 KJV
After he gave us the directions to follow
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
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. 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. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 14:1-4, 6
And then we’re given hope to look up into those things
“And I John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee
the bride, the Lamb's wife.
And he carried me away
in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
And the wall of the city had
twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”
Revelation 21:2, 9-12, 14 KJV
“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
But now they
desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
Hebrews 11:13, 16 KJV
and he is the builder
Notice Abraham never settled in the promise land he walked about as a stranger in but he was looking into Hods creation ahead
“By faith he
sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For
he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”
Hebrews 11:9-10 KJV
we’re definately going into the city of God when we leave the tabernacle of the flesh we have this home awaiting
“But ye are come unto
mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
Hebrews 12:22-24 KJV
as the temporal thkngs crumble The kingdom will be revealed after the veil of our flesh crumbles the kingdom within will be raised up into his house
“And this word, Yet once more, signifieth
the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Wherefore
we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:”
Hebrews 12:27-28 KJV
