WHERE ARE YOU?Earthly Temple is the pattern of the Heavenly Temple (Heb. 9:23-24)

Question: Where are the 1 st and 2 n d heavens, if the “Heavenly Jerusalem”, “City of God” is 3rd heaven? (2Cor. 12:2-4) God is above the cherubim also indicates levels of heaven (Eze. 1:25-28) “And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne.” (v. 26)

The earthly Temple Complex (courts and covered areas) (refer to pg 5) is

the exact layout of the City of the Living God, “HEAVENLY

JERUSALEM” (Heb. 12:22-24) “descending out of heaven from God”

(Rev. 21:2-3, 9-10). “Behold the Tabernacle of God is with men …”

means the chosen “24 Elders” and the “4 Living Creatures” in the 1 st

tabernacle section is also open to men (Rev. 5:8-10) AD 33 before the

First Seal was opened. Of course there is no Temple in Heaven because

the whole earthly Temple Complex (Tabernacles and Courts) is a figure

of the huge “City of God”, “The Heavenly Jerusalem”. (Rev. 21:22).

Only those who are saved can enter inside it (Rev. 21:24; 22:14-15) This

was already prophesied in the book of Isaiah “For behold, I create NEW

HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH...” (Isaiah 65:17-18) (2 Peter 3:12-13)

also called “The Kingdoms of Heaven” (Matthew 4:17).

“MOUNT SION” (Heb. 12:22)

“And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain…the

great city, the holy Jerusalem.” (Rev, 21:10; 11- chapter 22) [N.B.

Spiritual “Mount Sion” cannot be an earthly church because the apostle

John needed to be taken be the angel “in the spirit” to it.] Jesus Christ

founded this heaven city around AD33+ “Ye are come onto Mount Sion”

(Heb. 12:22). Climbing by Jacob’s ladder (helped by angels).” …and

behold a ladder set up on earth, and the top of it reached heaven; and

behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.” (Gen.28:12-

17) “Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending

and descending upon the Son of man.” (John 1:51)

“NEW EARTH” (Rev. 21:1-2)

CHURCH (Embassy of Heaven)

2nd Tabernacle

We are the “ambassadors of God” (2Cor. 5:20) and “Fishers of men” (Matt. 4:19) “Kingdom of heaven is liken a net cast into the sea.” Members comprise of “good” and “bad” fishes. (Matt. 13:47-50; 24-30, 37-49) *Quick! Get your passport and visa to heaven!

“NEW HEAVEN” (Rev. 21:1-2)

Appearance of spiritual residents in 3 rd Heaven

“Sons of God” who are up there “… shall be like Him; for we shall see Him

as He is” (1 John 3:2) we take him on the appearance of “celestial” beings

(1 Cor. 15:40, 51-53) (2 Cor. 5:1-4)

For the real appearance of the Heavenly Jerusalem

(i) Walls – has twelve foundation with the names of the twelve apostle in

them are laid with different kinds of precious gems (jasper,

sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite,

beryl, topaz, chryoprasus, jacinth and amethyst.) (Rev. 21:18-

20).

(ii) Gates – have the names of the 12 tribes of Israe “written thereon”. Each

one is of pearl. (Rev. 21:21).

(iii) Streets – made of pure gold. (Rev. 21:21)

(iv) River of life – “proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

(Rev. 22:1) This water of life is the Holy Spirit (John

7:37-39).

(v) Tree of life – “In the midst of the street of it and on either side of the

river was there the *tree of life, which have (12) twelve

manner of fruits, and yield her fruits every month; and the

leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”

(Rev. 22:2) *(Specie)

N.B. The word “New’’ earth and “New” heaven of (Rev.21:1-2) indicates a new order because of war in heaven and the re-establishment of a new order in heaven (Rev.12:3-17) (Matt.19:28; 25:34) (Rev.20:4). “…Behold, I make all things new…” (Rev.21:5). Angels are also recruited from men (Rev.19:10; 22:9).*Elders are also from earth (Heb.11:2-40). If angels can replenish their numbers (considering some are kicked out of heaven) there is no need for us to go up there to replenish heaven!! (Luke.20:35-36). Simple! No flesh body, no lust of the flesh (no desire for sex in heaven!) (1 John 2:15-17). That is why the chosen go to heaven! Are Old Testament people spiritual? (1Cor.10:1-4). [Hint: Anything relating to works of the spirits of demons, spirit of men or Spirit of God are spiritual.]

Refer to page 5 for an Idea of the layout of the earthly Temple.

THRONE OF GOD

(Rev. 4:1-4) (Eze. 1:26-28)

2 nd Tabernacle

“Heaven of Heaven” / “Holy of Holies” (1Kings 8:27)

“Tabernacle of the Ark of the Covenant / Testimony in heaven was opened.”

(Rev.11:19; 15:5-8)

N.B. The Ark of the Covenant is only seen at the 7 th seal, 7th Trumpet period in

heaven, “And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in

His temple, the Ark of the Testament” (Covenant) (Rev.11:19 ; 15:5-8) around

AD 2000+ during the 7th seal, 7th angel period (Rev.10:7). The kingdom of

heaven was established around AD 33+ before the 1st seal was opened.

(Rev.5:5-8; 6:1)

1 st Tabernacle

“24 elders”- (Rev.4:4, 10-11; 5:5-14)

“4 living Creatures” (Rev.4:6-11)(Isa.6:1-7) ---(Rev.5:9-10)

(Eze.1:4-25; 10:1-22) (4 or 6-winged angels)

“Lamb” (Rev.5:5-8), “multitude of angels” (Rev. 5:11-13), they also carry out

burning of incense at the Golden Altar of burnt incense (Rev.8:3-7), normally

performed by the 24 division or courses of the priesthood. (1Chron.24:7-19).

Power Zone

To have a clearer understanding of what is meant by event prophesied in

the Bible of Revelation this zone is closed to all men until the 7 plagues

are poured out (Rev. 15:5-8). There is nothing vague about the events in

heaven affecting earth as a consequence. (Refer to Appendix in page 6).

“and hath made us kings and priest unto God …”(Rev.1:6). [N.B. all this

happening even before the 1st seal was opened by the Lamb (Rev.5:5-10)

AD 33+.]

“7 Candlesticks”

(Rev, 1:12-13; 4:5)Also seen

SEA OF GLASS“Sea of Glass” (Rev.4:6) “---a sea of glass, mingled with fire: and them that

had gotten victory--- and they sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, ---”

(Rev.15:2-4) (Rev.7:1-17) “144,000” here? (Rev.14:1-5)

(Priests’ Court) “Altar of God” (Rev.6:9-11)

Martyrs’ Corner

“I saw under the altar the souls of them that were

slain for the Word of God and for the testimony

they held.”(Rev.6:9) “Antipas was My faithful

martyr who was slain among you...” (Rev.2:13)

“souls of them that were beheaded for the Word of

God…” (Rev. 20:4-5)

[Question: Waiting for the millennium, the “1,000

years” reign with Christ? (Rev.20:1-7)

Calculation hints: Check 5th Trumpet (Rev.9:1-12).

The release of Satan and the 4 angels of the

Euphrates (Rev. 9:13-21) when the number reaches

200,000,000 (Rev.9:16) for approximate end of

Millennium, ±2000 A.D. (Rev.20:7)

As given by God in the earthly Temple, the Court of Priest and the 2 Tabernacles are out of bound zones for the layman. Only in heaven is it (based on merit (Matt. 25:14-30) and not exclusively to a certain tribe (Levites) or race. (Gal. 3:26-28).

Page 5: Jerusalem - Where art thou stand

General Assembly zone

Court of the Gentiles, Court of the Women, Court of the Israel (men),

Barriers between them are removed by Christ. (Gal.3:26-29)The earthly Temple Complex (courts and

covered areas) is the exact layout of the

Heavenly Jerusalem, the City of the Living God,

“HEAVENLY JERUSALEM”

(Heb.12:22-24) (Rev.21:2-3, 9-10)

“NEW HEAVEN” (Rev.21:1- 2).

Inhabited by “spirits of just men made

perfect,” “General Assembly” /church “Church

of the firstborn” (Heb.12:23)

Home of saved souls (Rev.21:24, 27; 22: 14-

15). “And the nations of them which are saved

shall walk in the light of it.” (Rev.21:24)

“3 rd Heaven ” is “Paradises” (2Cor.12:2-4)

“paradise of God” (Rev.2:7) “Today, thou

shalt be with Me in paradise” (Luke.23:43)

“Bride of the Lamb,” “the Heavenly

Jerusalem” (Rev.21:9-10)

The only remaining earthly similarities are:

1. 2 tabernacles (Sanctuary; Holy of holies)

2. Priests’ court (altar of burnt offerings) in

heaven known as God’s altar” (Rev.6:9).

Court of the

(2 Tabernacles)

(2)The golden door in the foreground was the “Golden Gate” that led into the Court of Women. (3)From there a semi-circular staircase led up to and into the Court of Israel. (4) The Court of the Priests. (Refer to pg.4)

(1)Note: The”balustrade” that surrounds the whole temple. On this balustrade, about 5 ft. [m.] high, were a series of inscription in Latin and Greek that forbade Gentiles from entering into the more sacred areas of the Temple. Paul was accused of bringing a gentile across this barriers (Acts 21:27-29).

APPENDIX

ABUSE OF POWER / VIOLATION OF GOD’S LAW IN HEAVEN

1. Even Michael, the archangel conforms to God’s law in heaven, (Jude. v9). The 4 Living Creatures of (Eze. 1:19-25) serve as “walk with God” type of worker.

2. Those who challenge God for His law are cast out to hell to wait for the Judgment Day of heaven, earth and hell (Jude. v6)

(2Pet.2:4-5)(Isa.14:12-15)(Eze.28:12-19)(Rev.12:3-4, 7-10, 13-17)(Matt.25:41).Hardcore ones like the Devil, after being imprisoned for

1,000 years in hell (Rev.20:1-3, 7-10); the moment he is released with the 4 great ‘generals’ (Rev.9:1- 11)(Rev.9:13-1) they are off to

prepare for a “big fight ” called ARMAGEDDON (Rev.16:12-16; 20:7-10; 19:11-21). Human beings are just “pawns”, of his

deception. They do the “dirty” work for him.
