Three Heavens in Scriptures
Posted by Yahu Ranger in Death, Heaven, Hell, Immortal Soul, Religion, Resurrection on 07/06/2022
We will examine the fact that in Scriptures, there are three regions of רקיע (raqiya; open expanse),1 i.e., different realms, each called “heavens.”
Father Yahweh dwells in what is defined as the “third heavens,” the sun, moon, and stars occupy the “second heavens,” and flying birds and clouds are contained in the “first heavens” (i.e., in the atmosphere surrounding the earth).
The evidence will prove that no man—with only the exception of Yahushua the messiah, and then only in those periods before and after his fleshly, earthly existence as a human—has ever dwelt in the third heavens with father Yahweh.
The fundamental error made by those who would have mortal humans go off to heaven to be with father Yahweh before death, resurrection, and quickening is their confounding of the three different realms called “heavens.” Read the rest of this entry »

Now that you have looked over our two previous posts “Do I have A Soul” and “Immortal Soul Unmasked” we will now continue on to the final act of the “Heaven Trilogy” so to speak.
In other words, this is where we actually find out what going to heaven is all about.
So, if you’re ready let’s proceed onward, you just might discover some rather surprising facts along the way.
Immortal Soul Unmasked
Posted by Yahu Ranger in Grace, Heaven, Hell, Immortal Soul, Judgment Day, Religion, Resurrection, Salvation, The Rapture, Yahweh on 08/06/2012
In our last post, “Do I Have A Soul?”, the issue of whether or not humans possess an immortal soul was addressed.
As we continue to search out the facts concerning this subject, we should realize that the first great deception was told by the satan to Eve when he advised her that if she ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil “you will not die (Gen. 3:1-5).”
Do I Have A Soul?
Posted by Yahu Ranger in Grace, Heaven, Hell, Immortal Soul, Religion, Resurrection, The Rapture, Yahweh on 07/31/2012
It is recognized that most of us have been taught from our early years that we all have an immortal soul. Then upon death, our soul would ultimately end up spending eternity in either heaven or hell depending on what Saint Peter decided at the Pearly Gates.
Unbeknownst to many, Scriptures give a quite different scenario.
What do Scriptures say about the matter?
Rapture Redux
Posted by Yahu Ranger in Heaven, Hell, Immortal Soul, Judgment Day, Religion, Resurrection, Salvation, The Rapture, Yahweh on 06/11/2012
Our last post dealt with the possibility of the Rapture from an Old Testament viewpoint but alas, with negative results.
In “Rapture Redux” we will continue our quest to see if we can find that ever-so-elusive “Shortcut to Paradise” by next delving into the New Testament.
1 Thessalonians
One of the major proofs offered in the New Testament for a rapture of saved individuals off the earth sans death is contained in 1 Thessalonians:
Rapture – Shortcut to Paradise?
Posted by Yahu Ranger in Grace, Heaven, Hell, Immortal Soul, Judgment Day, Religion, Resurrection, Salvation, The Rapture, Yahushua, Yahweh on 06/04/2012
Needless to say there are a number of people that want to circumvent the rules by avoiding scriptural truth and the reality that all must suffer death at least once.
There is a popular saying that you might have heard which goes something like this, “Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.”
First of all, the reality is that no person is going to heaven regardless of dying or not. The one exception is the person whose name and title is Yahushua the messiah. As you know, his circumstances were just a little bit different. (Another topic for a later time.)
Second, all persons will in fact die before the Judgment Day whether they believe so or not. Even Yahushua had to submit to this reality.
Is there really any merit to the idea that some select group of believers can actually take a shortcut to paradise by avoiding death?
Let’s begin our investigation to find out the truth of the matter.
