The heavenly city is promised to all those who are called forth from their graves

'And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ' Heb 11:15-16

Do you desire a better country, a HEAVENLY country to live in?

This heavenly city is promised to all those who are called forth from their graves to meet the Lord in the air upon His return for His saints.  Those who are alive when He returns will also meet our Lord in the air.

If the dead saints are called from their graves, and the living taken up to meet the Lord in the air upon His return, are the majority of people who have died in heaven already? NO!

I shout it again, NO!

Let me give you the truth from God's Holy Word--

1Th 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1Th 4:15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

1Th 4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1Th 4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Th 4:18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The DEAD in CHRIST shall RISE FIRST!

When do the dead rise from their graves?  When the LORD descends from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the trump of GOD, AND NOT BEFORE!

Has the Lord descended from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the trump of God? NO! The dead in Christ have NOT been called from their graves and been told to rise. And most assuredly no others, no living, have been caught up together with the dead that have newly risen and gone to the clouds to meet the LORD IN THE AIR, and also most assuredly we have NOT gone up and been with the LORD for ever.

We are told to COMFORT one another with THESE word, not lies.

These words can offer comfort to all who are living as pilgrims and strangers upon this earth seeking a heavenly home.  You will NOT find that home in heaven upon death no matter what anyone tells you. No matter if the most supposedly holy person in the world tells you, no matter if the smartest Biblical scholar tells you that a person who has passed away is now in heaven with God and other previously passed loved ones, they are WRONG! Because our Bibles tell us the DEAD KNOW NOTHING. Our Bibles tell us that the dead in Christ rise from their graves when Jesus returns, why would our Bibles lie? They wouldn't lie to us. So as many hear preachers preaching and people comforting each other with lies, we are to comfort with the truth … God give us a voice to speak that truth.

I don't have a voice, I have words upon a screen and I pray that our Lord and Savior can use my in His service in this way. I fail Him so much otherwise, I fail Him in my inability to speak aloud the truth I know. Please LORD, please by the grace You give to us, be with me in all I'm called to do. Please, help me in my weakness. Please, forgive me!

By Your amazing LOVE, always!
