haha.. Is this going to be another day of frustration at work? I'm rejecting this statement in Jesus' Name. I'm still the Righteousness of God in Christ regardless of my actions, and behaviour. Well.. Got frustrated by someone again and kindda cannot wait to get out of this team which is only 4 more days.
Anyway, forget about that.. Yesterday, I was kindda puzzled over a few bible verses. Well, I still had a pretty interesting moment reading them. Juz kindda wondering how come in John 3:13 where Jesus said no man has ascended to Heaven... and yet in 2 Kings, Elijah actually ascended to Heaven on a whirlwind? So, what's the difference in these 2 ascensions?
If we put it in context of positional statement that Elijah was a prophet, so how come no other prophets were taken up to Heaven like Elijah? If there are, then the bible would have specially mentioned it. But the other prophets actually got martyred instead (not sure if all of them except Elijah - coz I still haven't finished reading the bible.. Good GRIEF! I can actually finish reading books after books of Harry Potter and yet not the bible.. Hee.. Anyway, there's no condemnation.. Harry Potter books got no significance to my life except the story line is very interesting. Well, still no condemnation coz Daddy God wants me to digest as much as possible with more revelational knowledge.)
So, can we actually put it in such context that Elijah was taken up to Heaven by God and no man was taken up to Heaven by God (meaning unless they are saved, they cannot ascend to Heaven yet until the death and resurrection of Jesus). And as we have known, Elijah is a picture of Jesus who also ascended to Heaven after days from His Resurrection. In this case, before the death and resurrection of Jesus, no body went up to Heaven at all. And, those people who died were juz "sleeping" until the day of ascension.
Or am I thinking nonsense again.. anyway, mind wanders around today. This morning was a pretty yucky morning. I believe my afternoon is going to be better and more peaceful coz I'm still in the favour of God.
