OOPS OF THE DAY ~ February 19

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

When Christians die, they go to paradise and have to wait for heaven.

Luke 16:19-31  –  John 3:13  –  Luke 23:39-44  –  Ephesians 4:8; Revelation 22:2  –  Philippians 1:21-23  –  Revelation 10:6 (KJV)

Fact of the Day

No! Jesus’ parable of the beggar dying and going to Abraham was before he died and conquered Satan by coming back to life. The Mosaic Law was still in effect. The same with Jesus on the cross and telling the other crucified one he would be in paradise.

All references to where we go after Jesus’ death & resurrection refer to being with Christ

Jesus referred to paradise while he was still alive. But he descended to Paradise to bring captives up in his train, for the tree of life formerly in the paradise of Eden is now in heaven. Now, when the Christian dies, he is immediately with Jesus. Is Jesus not in heaven?

Since in our next life “time will be no more” it seems the Day of Judgment will be for each of us the day we die.

Scripture for Thursday, February 9 (1/9)

The scripture for today, February 9, is I Corinthians 2:9 as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

0-BOOK EIGHT-COME FLY WITH ME-Cover“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”

This amazing promise applies to us today. It also applies to eternity. Indeed, it is difficult to conceive heaven. That is why so much of Revelation is symbolic. The symbols are beautiful, so try going one step beyond reading how Revelation describes heaven, and make a drawing of what you think it looks like. Then colorize it all those beautiful colors. Revelation 21:12,13,21:

Each of the 12 GATES is named after one of the Tribes of Israel and has an angel guarding it. Make the gates pearl. Make the angel over the gate white or yellow.

Revelation 21:17, 18a: Make the WALL jasper, which is a light see-through green.

Revelation 21:16, 18b: Heaven is full of many MANSIONS (John 14:2). Make them a translucent (see-through) gold.

Revelation 21:21: The STREETS of the city are like crystal and gold. Make them a translucent (see-through) gold also.

Revelation 22:1: The RIVER OF LIFE runs through heaven coming out from the throne of God. Make it blue.

Revelation 4:6a: The CHRYSTAL SEA is in front of God’s throne. Make it blue.

Revelation 22:2: The TREE OF LIFE grows on both sides of the River of Life. Make it green and brown.

Revelation 22:2: The ALTER OF INCENSE from Christians’ prayers is in front of the throne. Make it gold

Revelation 21:23: God’s THRONE is jasper and the glory of God is so brilliant, there is no need of a sun. Make the area of the throne silver/white.

Revelation 4:5: Around the throne of God are the seven SPIRITS of God, symbolized by seven lights. Make them yellow.

Revelation 4:3a: Near the Spirits, there is a ruby red GLOW around the throne of God. Make this inner arch red.

Revelation 4:3b: There is a RAINBOW over God’s throne. Make the arch at the very top over the throne emerald green.

Although this is all symbolic, doesn’t drawing and coloring in the symbols help to put across just how beautiful heaven will be!

Scripture for Wednesday, February 8 (1/8)

The scripture for today, February 8, is Genesis 2:8 as found in the Old Testament of the Bible:

0-michel-cover-kindle-medium“Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.”

Just think: Mankind’s nursery was a garden. How God wanted to spoil us, his children. And dote on us. Then Satan came along and lied to us, saying God was our enemy.

Many people even today believe that. It is not true. God does not hate you. Do not listen to Satan. Turn around and try once more listening to God who loves you beyond comprehension. And wants to spoil you. In heaven.
