Heavens and the Heaven

By Uyiogh'Ogie Clement Omoruyi

Heavens and the Heaven looks at five levels of heaven. These are Life, Heights, Times, Power and God. As far as the scriptures are concerned, the author could find no other heaven. In other word, we do not and cannot go to heaven when we die.
In looking at hell, on the other hand, we also find that this is suffering, pains and aches here on earth. Death and the grave is, therefore, the seal of this hell.
Some have asked: “why do we believe in Jesus, then?”
The answer is in Paul’s Temple cry in the council of Acts.23:6. “… Men and brethren … of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called …”
So, the struggle continue to be choosing between our will or God’s will; our traditions and belief system, or the word of God as contained in the Bible; our sugar laden air pocket ridden leaven bread or God’s choice of healthy unleavened bread.
To introduce this book a little bit more, here is an excerpt from the theme of this work:
If all living are in heaven, it may be hard for some to accept that those who are alive but ill and suffering are also in heaven. This explains why too many folks refuse, or find it difficult to accept that the life we enjoy now is all the heaven there is. But the harsh reality is, for as long as this present time remains, life is all the heaven there is! Whether we accept or believe it or not, we LIVE out this heaven of life in Time, in Height, in Power (and privileges) and in God.
These all, jointly and severally describes the five levels of the heavens there are. But life makes sense of the others and everything else. That life is in God. His Spirit establishes that life in all living. So, when we talk of Life we, inadvertently, talk of the Deity of the universe.
The author’s position in these is this. Let this work help us to pause a moment. Then, reexamine the word of God in these views of our heavens also. We may yet find that we have been with the traditions and belief of men long enough. Our individual and joint finds should help ground us more strongly in whatever level in the Faith and understanding of the word of God we are in, currently.
In this effort, we should remember that the greatest of these all is to love God above all, and our neighbor as ourselves.
Our neighbors are our family members (immediate and extended members), the Jews or Israel (the Elect of God and our Father’s first born). The third are the folks we meet in our daily interactions.

About the Author

HEAVENS AND THE HEAVEN

A SK THE AVERAGE PERSON YOU meet daily on the street, or maybe a friend, this one question: Have you ever considered the possibility that you do not have a soul? The first reaction you are likely to get could be a shocking glance. This will be his subtle effort at ensuring that your appearance and demeanour are sane enough to merit any form of response.

If he is satisfied of your sanity, or if he is a very kind-hearted person, the suspicious glance could then be followed by the rebuffing words: Over my dead body. This could then be followed by the curious and stuttered ‘why?’ question.

You may still be the last man standing by your estimation and, therefore, able to maintain some form of communication with this other fellow. But that could only be because of his self-restrain. But unaware of his struggle and thus emboldened by what now appears as your ability to hold his attention, you may dare to hazard yet more questions. That question could be this: Where, then, will your soul go when you are dead?

if he has not already sped off in a flash like lightening, the likely reply will certainly be another stuttered one. And that could be an abrupt: Heaven!

With that answer to such nagging and embarrassing questions, his eyes will have rolled a thousand times in their sockets as if about to give up the ghost, himself. The only exception here is that this ‘soul’ isn’t willing to let go of this dear ‘body’ for a long time yet!

But, actually this feigned dizzy looks on his face is the result of his, now visibly, subdued DISGUST of you and your very strange Spanish type inquisitions.

And even now he may have equally taken a thousand quick glances in the opposite direction. This is in his hastened search for an exit strategy from this mentally insane ‘medieval type’ interrogator. And that interrogator, of course, will be yourself.

Ignorant of the trouble you are now stirring, you may become blissful. You may have become further emboldened by your profound new ability to retain his focus. For example you have not yet provoked his outright right swing and a left hook like that of a super heavyweight boxer in a grudge match.

Therefore, you may be tempted to continue your ‘cross-examination’ even further with the following type of question:

If wishes have wings to grant your desires instantly, would you, rather, wish yourself dead right now so that your immortal soul may fly off to the great beyond or heaven forever?

By now, you will visibly know that he has had enough of your palavers.

If he is a very, very nice person, however, you might have just one last reply before he puffs from your presence forever like a ghost in the children movies. That one last reply would be, once again: over my dead body!

Thus abruptly brought back to the beginning of your enforced debate, you will now know that if this inquiry must continue, then you must start all over again. Perhaps a little subtlety and rephrasing of the questions will do the trick this time.

But that will have to be with someone new. This is because just before you could take your second chance, suddenly and, just like in the cartoons, with a short whoosh and a brief puff of smoke, your good new acquaintance will have been long gone, for good!!

With this, you may have lost a good friend forever.

This, probably, explains why it is commonly said that ‘wise people don’t discuss religion’. Well, the reason is obvious! Discussing religion can be an estranger of friendship, especially where views differs or are hotly debated.

However, we have all found ourselves tightly trapped in one form of religious corner, ideology and viewpoint or another. Some of us may say ‘we have no religion and no ideology’. Others may even say that they are atheist. Yet others more may declare themselves as believers in science of the sort of the big bang theories. Viewed objectively, even these others and their viewpoints may come across as sheer religious beliefs.

Therefore, like a fish in water, our lives are inextricably linked to or are affected by many of these ideas, ideologies and beliefs.

As a result, it becomes essential to ask questions while there is life and time. Such enquiries may yet allow us the space to make some well-informed independent choices before it all becomes too late.

THE BIG QUESTION

I N ASKING QUESTIONS, WE WILL soon find that the most recent, most ancient and yet most consistently nagging questions of all time are ‘where is heaven?’ And ‘Do we have a soul?’ ‘what does the word - soul - mean?’

Others include: ‘Who lives in heaven?’ ‘Where do we go after we die?’ ‘Does our soul live on after we are dead?’ ‘How do we go up to heaven when we are no more?’

Presently hit by what appears to be some mammoth futility in our vain struggle to hold on to life, yet much more questions are asked. These include: ‘What should we do to make it to heaven up there somewhere above the blue skies while we lie lifeless in the pits deep in the earth?’ ‘Where is God in heaven?’ ‘Can these flamboyant claims of the ‘afterlife’ be scientifically or rationally verified or should we stop dead and think no more, when it comes to this one subject?’ ‘How far is heaven from earth?’ ‘Is that great beyond – heaven or hell - real?’ ‘Are there some great deception going on here?’ ‘Who is the deceiver and who is the deceived?’

Mankind of every race, tribe, custom, creed, religion, tradition as well as of various geopolitical locations have had a readily and almost casual answers to these questions. And that answer is: ‘We have invisible, immortal souls that live in our bodies. Therefore, we don’t really die. Only our bodies die. Our souls travel on to heaven, the great beyond, the afterlife, to heaven or to hell.’

From there on, the question on what heaven or hell is, then diverges into differing formats and flamboyant tales. Such tales usually toe the lines of the different imaginations of the differing peoples, traditions, cultures and religions which the individual belong.

So, in trying to find answers, our initial viewpoint could or may have been influenced by the groups we initially belong to or come from.

However, no matter which group we are affiliated with, the general religious and traditional view continue to be based on this dictum - The Immortality of the human Soul.

But why human souls alone? Why not the immortal souls of plants and animals as well? The wise king Solomon, in Ecclesiastes.3:21, did wonder at such question once. After all, there is hardly any differences between human and these other creatures!

STRANGE ANTITHESIS

T HIS BELIEF IN THE IMMORTALITY of the soul has created various religions, birthed assorted secret and open cults, and it has given rise to ritual practices of various guises, disguises and gores.

Stranger yet, those who appear to believe, the most, in their soul continuing on forever after they are dead, are the same people who fear to die the most. Often, these also fervidly urge others into harm’s way and herd men forward to their early death. And all done so that they, themselves, might escape harm, suffering and death in this life.

Furthermore, many religious minds lay claim to good works and holiness while they are alive as a way of guaranteeing their immortal souls a good place in ‘the afterlife’ or ‘heaven above’. But, often, these are the most cruel, corrupt, deceiving, vile and violent people you may ever meet.

More strangely still, though not everyone believe in God, yet even the most cynical of persons and the atheist, themselves, abhor the thought of going to a place called hell when they die. All view death with trepidation and horror.

This, perhaps, is because everybody lives in the hope of not dying and having a better future. And if death become inevitable, as it presently is, then many hope for some better place, some better times, and some better quality of life than what he or she has in this present time.

Such thoughts of and belief in the ‘hereafter’ may sound grandiose or perceived as timid, but tend to serve as a great consolation to such believers. Such consolation becomes much welcomed in the face of that individual’s daily struggle against the ever-threatening presence of the hell of pains and suffering of the present times in our world. With such consolation, therefore, the individual may yet appear confident in the midst of his futile egos, foolish pride and vile vanities.

Subsequently, the continuing inevitability of death and the morbid uncertainty of what follows after, tend to make it all frighteningly appear as fighting a losing battle. And so, it becomes essential for many to hold on to something, (one form of ideology, belief or another), in order to make sense (be it true or false) of the purpose of life and the inevitability of death. This death which it yet seems, ‘none have the power to overcome’.

Now, the Christian book – the Bible - however, is the only book that promises overcoming power over our physical death. It further promises the physical restoration of life to all believers here on earth.

But the majority of Christians who profess faith based on the revelations in this book, seems to hold a contrary viewpoint. They, too, continue to believe in life after death.

As a result, even this group have joined their voice to the rest of traditions and religions on this subject of some ‘great beyond’. It thus becomes hard to tell the truth from the lies, difficult to decipher the Faith from the religions and the believer in Yahushua (Jesus) from the unbeliever. Meanwhile, all thus seems to fit perfectly together under the umbrella of RELIGION.

This joining is almost comparable to Israel coming together under Samuel. (1.Samuel.8:5). Their objective? The vehement demand, from their judge and prophet – Samuel – for their right to become like the nations around them.

Following from this model, everyone, every tradition, every religion (including the Christians Faith) now say ‘we have a soul’.

It, therefore, becomes unsurprising to hear the Christian, at that moment of his conversion into the faith, being made to confess thus: I have a soul which lives in my spirit which lives in my body.

Very often, the new converts are made to meekly say this in such a way that from the start of their race in the faith, their minds are made to become almost indelibly glued to this age-old belief. But a cursory look into the Bible will easily reveal that such belief remains a contortion of the obvious reality – that Death Ends All.

The problem presented by this contortion then becomes compounded by the doctrine of the Trinity. Here, God is perceived as three separate individuals – God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. But Mathew 28 had described the One Name of the One God who alone is our Father, Son and is the Holy Spirit. But contrary to this, the trinitarian creed is as effectively saying that there are three different Gods. It should be well noted that it was the Gentile Philistines in 1.Samuel.4:8 that first referred to the one true God of the Hebrews as … mighty Gods …

Consequently, and as if following this example of the Philistines, the Christian begins to see himself as a miniature version of God’s Trinity. Whereas he continue to be one individual person, yet he begins to see death as some gateway for the body to give way for the soul to carry on in the ‘afterlife’. You may be tempted to further wonder ‘when will the soul give way to the spirit to carry on?’

But Mathew.28:19 had introduced the One Name of God. This one name belongs to the same One who alone, in verse 20, also promises to stay with His friends to the end of time.

If the Christians believe the Torah or the Laws of Moses as being the foundation of their Faith, then this group ought to remember Deuteronomy.6:4 which say: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one LORD… Translated more succinctly, this will read like this … Yahovah the Almighty God who is our God is one Yahovah.

Hosea.4:6 further add: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… That knowledge ‘my people’ lacks is the knowledge of the Torah or ‘the Laws of Moses’.

But it has become as if we all have chosen to deliberately become ignorant of the Torah. Perhaps this feigned ignorance is a convenient option because ignorance is bliss. Perhaps we quietly hope that God, seeing our ‘bliss’, will wink at such in line with Acts.17:30.

Instead of bothering to understand this book – the Torah - therefore, we have, rather, embraced a stranger than fiction hippy type religion which we happily now call the Christian Religion. But this strange religion is wholly estranged from the Torah and from the God of Moses and Israel.

Consequently, such ignorance and such estrangement from the Torah now merely turns the declared Christians into workers of iniquity (Mathew.7:23). Foremost amongst such iniquity is our hatred of the Jews, and our love for Replacement Theologies. Closely following these is the claim by many Christians to be God’s elect, themselves. But the Elect of God has always been and will always be the Jews. And their position with their Father is irreplaceable.

Other common iniquities that are readily seen practiced today include the conversion of the Stone and stones (The Word of God and the brethren) into bread (business and commerce). Details of this may be found in my first book – The False Cardinal Points.

The practice of speaking in tongues today also plays into these errors. The benefits of the gift of being able to easily learn and speak other languages or tongues should enhance communication and fellowship in our worship gatherings. But the present so called manifestations of this gift has been reduced to mere babbles and hissing in the congregations of worshippers or churches. Yet, all seem to carry on happily ever after.

Therefore, such euphoric ignorance of the Torah, does not serve as good and desirable prognosis to the adherents of the Faith in Jesus (Yahushua).

It, therefore, becomes obvious that there is a stark difference between becoming a Christian convert and becoming saved (i.e. becoming a disciple of the LORD or Yahovah).

In the one case, the individual is (rightly or wrongly) joining a religious group or cult system. Here the convert may become sucked into following the leader, his priestly titles, his traditions, recitations, incantations, and holy books, as well as his interpretations of these books. He is forbidden to ask questions or is persuaded into timid submission to the leaders. Subsequently, the convert also becomes the follower of every dot, ounce and tittles of the leader’s doctrines hook, line and sinker, just as in a cult.

Such leaders may even become deified and worshipped as gods by the followers. Some have been known to say words like this: ‘To worship God, you must worship man.’ By ‘man’ they mean themselves.

As a result, at such times these leaders become very well titled. You may find them carrying such grandiose titles such as Reverends, Arch Reverends, Arch Bishop Professors, Senior Pastors, International Deacons, Doctor Apostles, Priests, Arch Priests, Holy Man and so on. These all done in opposition to the wisdom of Job in Job.32:21-22, that of the Psalmist in Psalm.111:9 and much in contrast with the counsel of Jesus in Matthew.23:10.

For such followers of men, it may take far too long to go through such a religious saga and come out in one piece, if at all. And far too many don’t come through it well, at all.

On the other hand, the saved souls becomes as the Berean brethren of Acts.17:11. These develop a personal relationship with God through the word from the very start. Whatever religious cults, cultures or traditions these may find themselves, they never get stranded there indefinitely. They will find the scriptures and be guided by its tenets solely and out of any such ungodly environment they may have found themselves in.

Their model is Peter. Peter, after Pentecost, became a convert to Jesus. Similarly, such believers also become converted to Jesus by personally receiving Him and His saving grace directly. Such an encounter becomes their own Pentecost experience. Such believers, thus reborn, then ceases to be mere Christians. Like Peter and the three thousands of Acts.2:41 these then become Jesus (Yahushua’s) disciples.

This explains why the Christian Religion is very much different from the Faith in Jesus (Yahushua).

THE STRANGE GREAT CHORUS

B UT TODAY, AND SPEAKING GENERALLY, both the Christians and all other religious groups and denominations now chorus: ‘There is heaven up there somewhere above the skies.’ And ‘there is life after death in the great beyond.’

But equipped with the knowledge of the Torah (Old Testament or Laws of Moses) the Christians ought to have Jesus (Yahushua) in them. To have Jesus in us alone is equivalent to having all of the Torah transferred from Moses Tablets of Stones on to the tablets of our flesh, thoughts, minds, and personalities. For this reason, the Christians ought to be different in thoughts and character from the rest of their unbelieving neighbours. This is because just as God had intended Israel to be separate from all her neighbours, the Christian ought to stand out as the bastion of mankind’s absolute Truth Centre – the Word.

However, this tragic belief in the ‘immortality of the soul’ and ‘the afterlife’ is now a part of those (the Christians) that should have been mankind’s last stronghold of absolute truth. With this, mankind’s choice of the knowledge of right or wrong now appears fuzzy and very limited.

It’s thus not surprising to find that far too many now see death as a mere transition phase of some ‘consciousness’ from the physical ‘mundane’ world into the other ‘worlds of the spirits’. After-all, even the Christians too, believe this. Don’t they!

Alarmingly, any man may be seen as a rebel, a deviant and a heretic, if he holds a contrary view to these.

As a result, the big puzzling questions have multiplied. But there are no more places to find the answer.

Well, perhaps, it is best that there are no real answers anymore! After all, in the absence of godliness, such belief still manages to sound like some great consolation for the bereaved, doesn’t it. Of course, such consolation does not apply to the dead. But who really cares about the dead anymore! What we don’t know won’t hurt. Will it!

More so, because as the dead can no longer hear anyone, and cannot feel, or hold an opinion anymore. Being dead, he is forever unable to contest any form of consoling lies, and the meaninglessness of such doctrines to himself. This is because none of the debates, or views hold any more significance to the soul of the dead because he is now a dead soul.

In all these confusion, the huge chorusing of ‘life after death’ continue to be overwhelming. Yet, the question of the benefits for the yet living souls remains – Is this shallow, hollow and fleeting ‘great consolation’ of life after death real? Or, could it altogether be a tragic eternal false hope in its entirety?

And with increasing rhythmical frequency, the nagging questions now persist thus: ‘Really, is there life after death?’

REASONS FOR THE FREQUENCY OF THESE QUESTIONS

T HE FREQUENCY OF THESE QUESTIONS may be attributed to the subconscious natural inkling or mortal fear in every man that, perhaps, death does really end all.

But such reality (as evidenced and obvious as it is) seems much too harsh to contemplate as real, and too disheartening and grotesque to accept as fact.

It is, perhaps, also the added fact that our fallen nature now leans more heavily towards the serpent and its deceptive promises to Eve of Genesis.3:4-5. Here, Eve is made to believe that we do not really die. From there on, our human senses seem frozen in time.

Today we have become almost unable to defrost our mind from that of Eve hypnotic type trance at that moment of the fall. And many have even compounded the chaos of Eve’s fall by creating more Eves in our ever increasing religious denominations. These have included the queen of heaven and holy Mary.

Subsequently, with all our chants, enchantments and babbles, we continue to be faced with the obvious facts of life’s brevity today. Yet, in the midst of these increasing chaos, it has become as if we have now preferred to discard our senses altogether rather than try engaging them.

This vulnerability has tended to open up new modern Eves for the serpent to exploit against mankind. Chief of these new Eves is now Education!

The dictum of education has become as the proverbial saying which says: ‘To be uneducated is to be uninformed, to be educated is to be dis-informed.’

For example, the Bible talks of creation and the Creator. Education teaches big bang theory and ungodliness. Though much unproven, yet this is taught and religiously believed as fact.

The Bible teaches that the earth is flat with the sky stretched over it like a tent. Man remains at the centre of God’s creation on the earth. Contrary to this, education teaches that the earth is round like a ball floating in the vacuum of space. However, it is common knowledge that water always finds its flat level. Now the question becomes: How does an endless sea of this water, curves itself around a ball earth? If the earth is really swinging along in a vacuum, one may wonder why have all these mass of water, our atmospheric gases, as well as us all not yet sucked out?

Added to these, we may look up to the sky and note how close the sun and moon are. We do often notice their lights shining right below some very low cloud or at times between these low clouds. Some videos taken from high flying planes have even recorded both sun and moon as they sits low below the horizon just above or within the clouds below. Their lights shines up and casts shadows upward into these planes. But education teaches that these heavenly bodies are 92.96 million miles away for the sun, and the moon is said to be 230 thousand miles away. And we all gleefully agree. After all, the religion that is called Science says so!

Education further postulate that between the earth and these heavenly bodies is the famous Van Allen radiation belt through which nothing can cross. Yet our ‘scientists’ are reputed to have sent astronauts through this radiation belt to land on the moon for a game of golf.

However, some 1969 scientific investigations of genuine researchers such as R Forster found that the moon is a plasma that cannot be landed on. (ABC News Australia – youtube - 8 may 2019). Another scientist - Eric Dollard - has also discovered that the sun is a transformer. He discarded time delays and light years as unproven. (Dollard Eric. Sky watch You Tube Channel 1. Feb. 2013). But the finds of these noble scientists and their discoveries are rabidly hijacked and swept under the carpet never to be heard of or seen again.

Bombarded with endless false information, therefore, our education begins to appear as a tool for a good earning career only. To truly and unquestionably believe in its teachings then tend to make us appear as educated fools. If such education don’t lead to a high earning career, the educated individual becomes a fool, indeed.

Subsequently, we have all become stumped and much minimised in our knowledge of our earth, sky and the universe. Thus disjointed from the facts of our reality, we become unable to pause the play button and independently verify all we have been listening to.

But God had warned Adam against false beliefs and the consequence of eating the forbidden fruit in Gen.2:17. However, soon afterward, the serpent showed up with a contrary teaching. Buying into this new bestial teaching, it seems Adam and his beloved wife – Eve - forgot the Creator’s instructions instantly. They threw the senses to the wind with no further question.

Today, the question to us, therefore, remains as that to Eve: Who do we believe – God of Genesis.2:17 0r the serpent of Gen.3:4-5? Do we believe the Bible and Word of the Ancient, God and the Creator and live life eternal? Or do we go with the popular rebellious trend, believe our education just because it is in vogue. Perhaps we need to have faith in its … science falsely so called … (1.Timothy.6:20) just so we can earn a living? Because it helps us earn a living, we should just simply deify it as our source of life. Or should we?

But very much like our dear mother – Eve - it appears as if our opinion on things are all become much swayed by the last speaker. Perhaps this is because the last speaker’s words are those trending currently; and we all love to follow the current trend, no matter how ridiculous they may appear. How Cool!

This is why the voraciously trendy person is usually an empty headed individual; and the characters of those whose opinions are solely swayed by the last speaker, cannot be trusted.

Furthermore, today, there is no denying the fact that the inconsolably bereaved is naturally aware and overwhelmed by a huge sense of loss at such moments of grief and loss.

This natural awareness, (i.e. that death ends all), is however fast increasing with increases in knowledge. It is further fuelled by the individual’s increasing freedom to question the general traditional and religious norm, doctrines and beliefs.

Yet, in the midst of this increase in awareness of our absolute mortality, the religious rhetoric continues to nag us louder than ever; saying: death does not really end all.

It’s as if the serpent’s own new emissaries
