HIS+ Essential ASCENSION .... Established for our HOPE ! Our Glorified Body shall ARISE !

 

Ascension Day !  The Essential Ascension of the Glorified BODY+ of our LORD and SAVIOR+, The RISEN JESUS CHRIST !

EVERYTHING

The LORD JESUS CHRIST said AND DID is essential --- extremely necessary --- for us to know WHO+ HE+ was , and is, and WHO+ HE+ will reveal HIMSELF+ to be

when HE+ comes again…. The ALMIGHTY !  Revelation 1:8

            In the Greek, Ho PantokratOr ( The ALMIGHTY ) .

             “As a designation for GOD as The ONE holding all power and ruling all things.” ~ Dr. Timothy and Barbara Friberg’s Analytical Lexicon of the  Greek New Testament,     p.293, Baker Books,  Grand Rapids, MI , 2000.

As a matter of fact, “The Pantokrator” has NO VARIANTS in the Greek manuscripts containing Revelation 1:8 … which is a marvel in and of itself ! See Nestle-Aland’s Novum Testamentum Graece, 26th Ed., p. 633 at Revelation 1:8.  

WHY

is HIS+ Ascension so IMPORTANT to our faith ?

His+ Ascension is CRUCIAL for HOPE!

Recall that The Risen LORD JESUS ascended to Heaven after …. yes, AFTER… having eaten broiled fish and honeycomb.  At some point in time AFTER HE+ ate normal, earthly food that we eat, His+ Glorified BODY+  was taken up to Heaven in a cloud ! 

Here is the record of Him+ in His+ Glorified BODY+, eating!

           

^{Luke 24:36}  And as they thus spake, JESUS HIMSELF+ stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them,

            Peace be unto you. 

^{Luke 24:37}  But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 

^{Luke 24:38}  And HE+ said unto them,

            Why are ye troubled?

            and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 

^{LukE 24:39}  Behold My+ Hands and My+ Feet, that it is I+ MYSELF+: handle ME+ and see;

            for a spirit hath not flesh and bones,

            as ye see ME+ have! 

^{Luke 24:40}  And when HE+ had thus spoken, HE+ shewed them His+ hands and His+ feet. 

^{Luke 24:41}  And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered,

             HE+ said unto them,

            Have ye here any meat? 

^{Luke 24:42}  And they gave HIM+ a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 

                   ^{Luke 24:43}  And HE+ took it,

                                    and did eat before them! 

^{Luke 24:44}  And HE+ said unto them, These are the words which I+ spake unto you, while I+ was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning ME+. ^Luke24:45 Then opened HE+ their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,  ^{Luke 24:46} And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved CHRIST to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:  ^Luke24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 

^{Luke 24:48}  And ye are witnesses of these things. 

^{Luke 24:49}  And, behold, I+ send the promise of My+ FATHER upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. 

THE ASCENSION

^{Luke 24:50}  And HE+ led them out as far as to Bethany,

and HE+ lifted up HIS+ Hands,

and blessed them.

^{Luke 24:51}  And it came to pass, while HE+ blessed them,

HE+ was parted from them,

and carried up into Heaven.

^{Luke 24:52}  And they worshipped HIM+,

and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

^{Luke 24:53}  And were continually in the temple,

praising and blessing GOD . Amen.

 

YES ! AMEN ! After seeing our Loved One die… to see him resurrected and eating our EARTHLY FOOD …. and to see him taken --- body, as well as spirit and soul --- into the Heavenlies…

Just think:

WHAT GREAT JOY

AWAITS

THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS , the Risen CHRIST !

This is the JOY of the Ascension of CHRIST JESUS !

Amen and Amen.

 

 

 

UP FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL HE+ AROSE... with a Mighty Triumph Over the satan !

 

This particular year, 2025, the RESURRECTION DAY is of PECULIAR SIGNIFICANCE for both Christians and Jews.  

The Jewish Passover – PESACH – began on Palm Sunday, April 13th, 2025 / Jewish year 5785. It began with the Feast of Unleavened Bread which lasted 7 days.

 

On DAY 8, the Passover ends with the killing of the unblemished Passover Lamb.

The lintel and side posts of the door to the homes with the blood of the lamb, and roasting it and eating it… if Scripture found in Exodus 12 is followed exactly !

This year, 2025, the Jewish Passover’s DAY 8 coincides PRECISELY with  RESURRECTION DAY on April 20th … today.

We who follow The LAMB+ of GOD , The LORD JESUS CHRIST, according to Scripture, are marked by The BLOOD of JESUS over the door of our heart.

Death has no more dominion over The LORD JESUS CHRIST. Hallelu JAH ! 

Death could NOT HOLD HIM+ in HELL.

Neither can it hold us; we go directly to Heaven with “no  smell of the fire” upon us when our Adamic body dies !

Furthermore, WHEN HE+ returns, we will be re-united with our GLORIFIED body ! Hallelu JAH !

At that time, the Jews will recognize their MESSIAH+, JESUS CHRIST, and partake of the TRUE and FINAL PASSOVER LAMB+… and be covered by His+ Redeeming BLOOD.

The Jewish people will be re-united with The ELOHIM: GOD The FATHER, GOD The SON+, and GOD The HOLY SPIRIT. Hallelu JAH !

The Jews will be grafted BACK INTO THE ROOT, the stock, of DAVID. Hallelu JAH !

The Christians and the Jews will be united in CHRIST. Hallelu JAH !

Today is a SIGN GIVEN to us by The ELOHIM that THAT DAY will be happening SOON. 

The Enmity between Christians and Jews will be finished when HE+ returns to be glorified in His+ Saints.

Hallelu JAH !

HOLY WEDNESDAY ~ The 4th DAY of the Ancient Week ~ IF YOU CAN COUNT TO 3 … The Day of the Crucifixion, The Day of the Mid-Week Prayer Service

 

Saying with a loud voice,

Worthy is THE LAMB+ that was slain

to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,

and honour, and glory, and blessing. 

Revelation 5:12

+  +  +

For as Jonas was

THREE days and THREE nights

in the whale's belly;

so shall the SON+ OF MAN be

THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS

in the heart of the earth. 

Matthew 12:40

 

If you can COUNT TO 3…

Did you ever wonder WHY the ancient churches met mid-week on Wednesday night to worship ?

That was the ancient day

that The LORD JESUS was crucified.

HE+ was nailed to the Cross at the time of the Morning Sacrifice in the Temple, at 9 a.m. on the 4th DAY of the Ancient Hebrew week.

HE+ died on the Cross at the time of the Evening Sacrifice in the Temple, at 3 p.m.  That was the official start of “night” in the Hebrew way of thinking.

So… Wednesday NIGHT, Thursday NIGHT, and Friday NIGHT HE+ spent Proclaiming*** the GOSPEL of Salvation unto the Righteous Dead in the heart of the earth.

***1 Peter 3:18-19

For CHRIST also hath once suffered for sins,

the just for the unjust,

that HE+ might bring us to GOD,

being put to death in the flesh,

but quickened by THE SPIRIT: 

By Which also HE+ went and preached

unto the spirits in prison; 

 

That accounts for the 3 nights.

Thursday DAY, Friday DAY, Saturday DAY HE+ spent in the heart of the earth Proclaiming the GOSPEL of Salvation unto the Righteous Dead in the heart of the earth.

That accounts for the 3 days.

HE+ rose directly AFTER 3 p.m. Saturday because Scripture accounts are PRECISE and EXACT.

However, The RISEN LORD JESUS CHRIST was not seen by anyone until the wee hours of Sunday morning…. the First Day of the week.

In the intervening hours between His+ Resurrection and His+ being seen by the Women in the Garden, The Risen LORD JESUS was busy transferring souls from the Paradise located in the heart of the earth unto the Paradise of GOD which is in Heaven… perhaps that 3rd Heaven that the Apostle Paul mentioned in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4.

[ Regarding His+ transferring of souls held Captive in Sheol, see Matthew 27:52-53 and Psalm 68:18 and Ephesians 4:8-10.  ].

Remember, The LORD JESUS said:

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see MY+ DAY:

and he saw it, and was glad ! 

John 8:56

+  +  +

Yes, ABRAHAM was GLAD to hear the GOSPEL and be transferred unto the Paradise of GOD in the third Heaven !

Worthy is THE LAMB+ that was slain

to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,

and honour, and glory, and blessing.
