The Ascension

 

By

The Twelve Apostles

 

 

Jesus Speaks About Anointing On The Day Of Pentecost

Behold, on the Day of Pentecost, you all shall be endowed with power from on high. But you shall remain here till then in holy thought and prayer.”

 

Number Of Days After Resurrection

Apostle Matthew: Jesus stayed here on earth for fourteen (14) days, after His death and resurrection, before His ascension into heaven. Not forty (40) days, as some people claim or say. It is possible that the person speaking said, “fourteen days,” and the person writing thought he said, “forty days.”

 

Cherubim And Seraphim Again

 When Jesus was born, two Archangels Cherubim and Seraphim visited Him. Immediately He completed His work here on earth, the same two Archangels Cherubim and Seraphim came again, worshipped Jesus, by bowing down to Him, before they ascended to heaven with Jesus Christ.

 

The Glorious Ascension
Then Jesus went to Olivet, and His disciples followed Him, and in a place not far removed from Bethany, He met the Marys and Salome. He also met Martha, Ruth and Miriam, and in addition He met Lazarus and a host of others who had come from Galilee.


And Jesus stood apart and raised his hands and said, “The benedictions of the Holy Ones, of the Almighty God, and of the Holy Spirit, of Christ the love of God made manifest, will rest upon you all the way till you shall rise and sit with me upon the throne of power.”


And then they saw Him rise upon the wings of light.  A wreath encircled Him about.  And then, He ascended, until they saw His form no more.

 

But as they gazed up into heaven, two men in robes of white, appeared and said, “You men of Galilee, why do you gaze anxiously upon the ascending Lord? Behold, He will come again from heaven as you have seen Him go to heaven.  Then the eleven and Lazarus, and other men from Galilee together with the faithful women, many of them, returned unto Jerusalem and there abode.  And they were constantly in prayer and Holy thought.  They waited for the Holy Spirit, and for the coming of the promised power from on high.

 

So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.  And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen. Mark 16:19,20

 

Ascensions And Descensions

No one has ascended into heaven but He who descended from heaven, the Son of man. John 3:13

The meaning is that no human being has ascended into heaven by his own power. Holy Enoch and Ancient Prophet Elijah ascended into heaven in chariots of fire, led by heaven’s charioteer, Archangel Jehuco, the captain of the heavenly train. Jesus Christ ascended by free will, by motion at will, without any aid.

 

This statement teaches to examine whatever you hear very well. You should know that the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven are frequently descending from heaven into this world and also ascending from the earth into heaven, even so on a daily basis.

 

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice

You should know that the Feast Of Ascension, which is celebrated by the Catholic Church, is a man-made festival.

Do children, who are downstairs,
celebrate the departure of their father,
after he has visited them downstairs?
Surely, no!


People do not know the power of God. When you celebrate ascension, which ascension are you celebrating? Since His death and resurrection, Jesus has been paying frequent visit to the world. That means ascension and descension is frequently taking place. As well, so many heavenly Angels are coming down (descending) to the world and going up (ascending) to heaven.

Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. Genesis 28:11-12

By the way, do children, who are living downstairs, celebrate the visit of their father, after he comes down the staircase to see them? Out of spiritual blindness, the religious leaders have rejected the Truth, and have being busy feeding the world with fabricated doctrines.

Instead of doing what God said, religious leaders have deviated from the commandments of God and have been deceiving themselves and misleading the world. They have rejected the everlasting festivals of God, as specified in the scriptures, and have introduced man-made doctrines and pagan routines by following the false imaginations of their own hearts. Did not the Lord warn against all the leaven (false teachings) of the Pharisees (religious leaders), saying:

"I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran.
I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
But if they had stood in My counsel,
And had caused My people to hear My words,
Then they would have turned them from their evil way
And from the evil of their doings.
Jeremiah 23:21-22

"Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, "who steal My words everyone from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, "who use their tongues and say, 'He says.' Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” says the Lord, "and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies and by their recklessness. Yet I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 23:30-32
