Meet, Study, & Eat.

We'll start the Bible study out by investigating and comparing, panoramically, our heavenly hope with that of Israel, which is earthly, consisting of the Millennial Kingdom. Words are important here, as anywhere else, so we will be looking closely at the different words for Appearing. There is the Parousia, personal presence of Jesus Christ as Messiah when He returns to the earth. Then there is a different usage of the word depicting God appearing to believers in the Place of Heaven. Basically, two appearings in two different places. (is that not conceivable logically?) If this be the case in the Bible, it would seem important to have our ducks, our doctrine, lined up straightway here so we have the right directions, doctrine, to get us to where we want to go. So in other words, are you expecting to see Christ here on earth or in heaven? Or think it does not matter? Hmmmm, life for maybe a 1000 years on the earth, with lions and tigers and bears, verses eternity with a massive spiritual blessing outside of this earthly realm, having no limits as to time, space, and matter!
