= Wherever God dwells, Heaven / The place where God came according to the promise of the Bible =
[Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle]
The kingdom of heaven in the Bible means 天/cheon/, 國/guk/ meaning nation(kingdom) of heaven. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, heaven is the place where the Most High God dwells. The only God created the spiritual world and made the physical world in the same way. God wants the spiritual world and the physical world to live as one. The kingdom of heaven where God dwells and the Spirit is the spiritual heaven. The kingdom of heaven which God comes and is created on this earth becomes the physical heaven. Therefore, there is the spiritual heaven and the physical heaven. The physical heaven is created on this earth as it was done in spiritual heaven.
Through the 6,000-year history of the Bible, let's find out where the heaven on earth which the spiritual world has come down.
God who wanted to live with mankind from the beginning of the creation of heaven and the earth created Adam, placed him in the Garden of Eden and was with him. The Garden of Eden where God was with is a paradise and heaven on the earth where the spiritual heaven is with. But because of Adam's sin, the Spirit of God had to leave the people.
God who had to leave because of sin told Moses in Exodus 25 to see the pattern of heaven and build a sanctuary, tabernacle for God to dwell on this earth. This was for God, the Spirit not only dwell in the spiritual world but also be with his chosen people on this earth. Therefore, the tabernacle of Moses built after seeing the pattern of heaven was the heaven on this earth where God dwells.
But, Solomon who had a promise served a foreign god and the people of Israel sinned again. Therefore, God had to leave these sinful Israelites. After that, God made a promise through prophets of the Old Testament and came to Jesus at the First Coming of Jesus just as he prophesied. Thus, Jesus who was with the Holy Spirit of God cried out that the kingdom of heaven was near.
Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven in several parables. First, he said that the kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seeds in his field. The metaphor seed is the word of God. The man who sowed the good seed referred to the Son of Man Jesus. So, Jesus who preaches the word of God was referred to as the kingdom of heaven on this earth. In addition, he said that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed planted in his field growing into a tree and the birds of the air coming and lodging. The metaphor tree refers to the inner man who grew up through the Word in the field of the heart. In John 15, Jesus was called the true vine and 12 disciples are the branches of the tree. And the saints who were borne with the word are the first fruits.
If so, what does the bird perched on this tree mean? In Matthew 3:16, after Jesus was baptized, it says that the Spirit of God descended like a dove and lightened upon him. Here, the Spirit of God was compared to a bird. Therefore, this parable means that the spiritual heaven comes down to Jesus and his disciples who have the word of God, the seed of heaven. Therefore, Jesus was the fulfilled heaven on this earth which spiritual heaven came down. So, to go to Jesus was to go to heaven at the First Coming of Jesus.
But, at the time of the First Coming of Jesus, the Israelites did not receive Jesus. So, Jesus who died for the sins of the world said in Matthew 21:41-45 that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Before he left, Jesus said that he goes to prepare a place for you and come again. A place that Jesus mentioned is the Jerusalem above and in Revelation 21, Jerusalem coming down from spiritual heaven.
This city is an organization of God, Jesus, 12 apostles and numerous spirits following them and the city of 12 tribes of spiritual new Israel with the 12 apostles as the foundation of the house. This Holy City, New Jerusalem is the nation prepared from the foundation of the world to be inherited to believers as if sheep who kept the word of promise at the Second Coming of Jesus.
The book of Revelation which events of the time of the Second Coming of Jesus are written records the events of betrayal, destruction and salvation. In Revelation 1, seven stars the angels of the seven churches of seven golden candlesticks preparing the path of the Lord appear. In Revelation 2, Satan the Nicolaitanes entered there and fed them sacrifices unto idols resulting in betrayal of seven stars. This Stan Nicolaitans is an organization of beasts with seven heads and ten horns that came up from the sea in Revelation 13 and they get to capture the saints of the seven golden candlestick tabernacles.
At this time, the one who fights to death and overcomes by the blood of the Lamb and the word of the testimony will appear. The one who overcomes will receive the bread of eternal life, rod of iron of authority over all nations, and the white stone of judgment as promised in Revelation chapter 2-3. In addition, God, Jesus and heaven will come to him and be with him. By brethren who are with the one who overcomes, in Revelation 15, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony is opened. This is the new heaven and new earth where the Holy city, new Jerusalem in Revelation 21 comes. God, Jesus and the kingdom of heaven come to a new heaven and new earth which is Shincheonji where the one who overcomes is. So, this is the heaven fulfilled on this earth at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus.
Heaven can be wherever God dwells, not only above. The place where God has come as promised in the Bible is heaven. At the First Coming of Jesus, heaven was the place where Jesus was. At the Second Coming of Jesus, the new heaven and new earth, where the one who overcomes is, is the kingdom of heaven.
= Heaven, only above, not on this earth / those who want to achieve heaven are communists =
[Existing Denomination Baptist Church Pastor A]
Where is heaven? If heaven is a real place, where is it? Some people have very fantastic explanations. Where is heaven? There are people who say "Heaven can be fulfilled on this earth through people's effort. These people are communists. People who try to accomplish heaven on this earth are communists. They are communists. This is baloney. It's bullshit."
“Heaven is not accomplished on this earth now. There is no heaven on this earth. Where does the Bible say heaven is? The Bible is clear. Where is heaven? it says it is above.”
