Mark 16:19-20
So then, AFTER The LORD (Jesus Christ) had SPOKEN to Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers), He (Jesus Christ) was RECEIVED UP into Heaven, and SAT DOWN at The Right Hand of GOD (GOD Almighty). And They (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) went out and PREACHED Everywhere, The LORD (Jesus Christ) WORKING WITH Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) AND CONFIRMING The WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) THROUGH The Accompanying SIGNS. Amen.
Luke 24:50-53
And He (Jesus Christ) LED Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) OUT as far as Bethany, and He (Jesus Christ) LIFTED UP His (Jesus Christ’s) Hands and BLESSED Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers). Now it Came To Pass, while He (Jesus Christ) BLESSED Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers), that He (Jesus Christ) was PARTED from Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) and CARRIED UP into Heaven. And They (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) WORSHIPED Him (Jesus Christ), and returned to Jerusalem with Great Joy, and were CONTINUALLY in The Temple PRAISING and BLESSING GOD (GOD Almighty). Amen.
Acts 1:9-11
Now when He (Jesus Christ) had SPOKEN These Things, WHILE They (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) WATCHED, He (Jesus Christ) was TAKEN UP, and a CLOUD RECEIVED Him (Jesus Christ) OUT of Their (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) Sight. And WHILE They (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) looked steadfastly TOWARD Heaven as He (Jesus Christ) WENT UP, BEHOLD, Two Men (Two Holy Angels of GOD Almighty) STOOD by Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) in White Apparel, who also SAID, “Men of Galilee, why do YOU stand gazing up into Heaven? This SAME Jesus (Jesus Christ), who was TAKEN UP, FROM YOU, into Heaven, will so COME in LIKE MANNER, as YOU SAW Him (Jesus Christ) GO into Heaven.”
Acts 7:55-56
But He (Stephen), BEING FULL of The Holy Spirit, GAZED into Heaven and SAW The GLORY of GOD (GOD Almighty), and Jesus (Jesus Christ) STANDING at The Right Hand of GOD (GOD Almighty), and said, “LOOK! I (Stephen) SEE The Heavens OPENED and The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) STANDING at The Right Hand of GOD (GOD Almighty)!”
Acts 9:3-6
Then Saul, as He (Saul) journeyed He (Saul) came near Damascus, and SUDDENLY a LIGHT shone around Him (Saul) FROM Heaven. Then He (Saul) fell to the ground, and HEARD a VOICE (Jesus Christ’s) SAYING to Him (Saul), “Saul, Saul, why are YOU (Saul) PERSECUTING Me (Jesus Christ)?” And He (Saul) said, “Who are YOU, LORD?” Then The LORD (Jesus Christ) SAID, “I AM Jesus (Jesus Christ), whom YOU (Saul) ARE PERSECUTING. It is HARD for YOU (Saul) to kick AGAINST the goads.” So He (Saul), trembling and astonished, said, “LORD (Jesus Christ), what do YOU (Jesus Christ) WANT me (Saul) to DO?” Then The LORD (Jesus Christ) SAID to Him (Saul), “ARISE and GO into The City (Damascus), and YOU (Saul) will be TOLD what YOU (Saul) MUST DO.”
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
Moreover, Brethren (Believers), I (Saul/Paul) DECLARE to YOU (Believers) The Gospel (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) which I (Saul/Paul) PREACHED to YOU (Believers), which also YOU (Believers) RECEIVED and IN which YOU (Believers) STAND, by which also YOU (Believers) ARE SAVED, if YOU (Believers) HOLD FAST that WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) which I (Saul/Paul) PREACHED to YOU (Believers), unless YOU (Believers) believed in vain.
For I (Saul/Paul) DELIVERED to YOU (Believers) first of all that which I (Saul/Paul) also RECEIVED: that Christ (Jesus Christ) DIED for Our (Believers) sins according to The Scriptures (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), AND that He (Jesus Christ) was BURIED, AND that He (Jesus Christ) ROSE AGAIN (ALIVE) The Third Day according to The Scriptures (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), AND that He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN (ALIVE) by Cephas (Peter), THEN by The Twelve (Jesus Christ’s Disciples). AFTER THAT He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN (ALIVE) by OVER Five Hundred Brethren (Believers) AT ONCE, of whom (Over Five Hundred Believers) The Greater Part REMAIN to The Present, but some have Fallen Asleep (DIED). AFTER THAT He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN (ALIVE) by James, THEN by All The Apostles (Jesus Christ’s Disciples). Then last of all, He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN (ALIVE) by me (Saul/Paul) also, as by One Born OUT of Due Time.
Revelation 1:10-11b, 12-20
I (John) was IN The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) on The LORD’s Day, and I (John) HEARD behind me (John) a Loud VOICE (Jesus Christ’s), AS of a TRUMPET, SAYING, “I AM The Alpha and The Omega, The First and The Last,” AND, “What YOU (John) SEE, WRITE in a Book.”
Then I (John) turned to SEE The VOICE that SPOKE with me (John). And having turned I (John) SAW Seven Golden Lampstands, and IN The Midst of The Seven Lampstands One LIKE The Son of Man (Jesus Christ), CLOTHED with a Garment down to The (Jesus Christ’s) Feet and GIRDED about The (Jesus Christ’s) Chest with a Golden Band. His (Jesus Christ’s) Head and (Jesus Christ’s) Hair were WHITE like wool, as WHITE as snow, and His (Jesus Christ’s) Eyes LIKE a Flame of Fire; His (Jesus Christ’s) Feet were LIKE Fine Brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His (Jesus Christ’s) Voice AS the sound of many waters; He (Jesus Christ) HAD in His (Jesus Christ’s) Right Hand Seven Stars, OUT of His (Jesus Christ’s) Mouth WENT a Sharp Two-Edged SWORD, and His (Jesus Christ’s) Countenance was LIKE The Sun SHINING in its strength. And when I (John) SAW Him (Jesus Christ), I (John) fell at His (Jesus Christ’s) Feet as dead. But He (Jesus Christ) LAID His (Jesus Christ’s) Right Hand on me (John), SAYING to me, “Do NOT be afraid; I (Jesus Christ) AM The First and The Last. I (Jesus Christ) AM He Who LIVES, and WAS Dead, and BEHOLD, I (Jesus Christ) AM ALIVE Forevermore. Amen. And I (Jesus Christ) HAVE The Keys of Hades AND of Death. WRITE The Things which YOU (John) HAVE SEEN, and The Things which ARE, and The Things which will TAKE PLACE AFTER THIS. The MYSTERY of The Seven Stars which YOU (John) SAW in My (Jesus Christ’s) Right Hand, and The Seven Golden Lampstands: The Seven Stars ARE The Angels (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels) of The Seven Churches, and The Seven Lampstands which YOU (John) SAW ARE The Seven Churches.”
Revelation 4:1
AFTER These Things I (John) LOOKED, and BEHOLD, a DOOR Standing Open IN Heaven. And The First VOICE (Jesus Christ’s) which I (John) HEARD was LIKE a TRUMPET SPEAKING with me (John), SAYING, “COME UP HERE, and I (Jesus Christ) will SHOW YOU (John) Things which MUST Take Place AFTER THIS.”
Fellow Believers, as We (Believers) can SEE, in The Above Scriptures, Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers, WITNESSED Him (Jesus Christ) ALIVE, after His (Jesus Christ’s) Crucifixion AND His (Jesus Christ’s) Resurrection, and They (Jesus Christ’s Disciples and Followers) WITNESSED His (Jesus Christ’s) Ascension, ALIVE, into Heaven, whereby He (Jesus Christ) SAT DOWN at The Right Hand of GOD Almighty, where He (Jesus Christ’s) STILL Resides, TODAY.
One Day, very soon, We (Believers) will SEE Jesus Christ, ALIVE, ALSO. May These Words GIVE US (Believers) Comfort, in Our (Believers) Anticipation of This EVENT. Amen.PLEASE ENCOURAGE AUTHOR BELOW LEAVE COMMENT ON ARTICLE
