NO MAN ASCENDED TO HEAVEN – PST Abel Damina

*JOHN 3:13*
*And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. (KJV)*
In accurate bible interpretation, we must be silent where the bible is silent and loud where the bible is loud. This means that we cannot be louder than what the bible says. The emphasis of the bible should be our emphasis. We explained that interpreting the translation of Enoch and not seeing death because Good took him as rapture to heaven is an error. This is because the bible was loud in this same chapter contextually that all the elders mentioned including Enoch all died without seeing the promise
fulfilled. Jesus is the first fruit of our resurrection. Before his resurrection, it was impossible for anybody to achieve immortality. Mortality cannot go to heaven and for that matter, the experience of Enoch was not rapture, even though the bible was silent on the exact experience of Enoch. The question many will be asking at this moment will be about Elijah, which was recorded in the book of 2Kings that he went up in a whirlwind to heaven.
From our opening text, Jesus emphatically said that no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven. This appears to contradict what was written by the prophets in 2Kings 2:11, “And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven”. Jesus is the message of the scriptures. He is the interpretation of the words of the prophets. His interpretation of the scriptures supersedes any other interpretation. According to Hebrews 1: 1-2, the prophets spoke to our Fathers in portions of the truth but in these last days, God has spoken to us in his son, Jesus. This means that the prophets didn’t have all the truth, they had partial knowledge. Christ is the complete knowledge or revelation of God or the truth.
This means that whatever the prophets said must be put under the lens of Christ. The miraculous disappearance of Elijah was interpreted by the prophets as the rapture of Elijah to heaven. Even though Elijah was taken away in a whirlwind, the bible is silent on the details of his location. However, the bible is loud on the fact that Elijah did not ascend up to heaven. Jesus said nobody ever ascended to heaven. The author of the book of Hebrews also said that all the elders of the Old Testament died in faith. The epistles also teach that Christ is the first fruit of the resurrection. This means that till Christ was resurrected, no one could become immortal to be raptured. Therefore, concluding that Enoch and Elijah were raptured to heaven will be our own thought being infused into the scriptures. Though the bible is silent on the details of their
experiences, the bible is loud on the fact that none of them went to heaven in their mortal bodies.
*Hebrews 1: 1-2, 2Kings 2:1-11, Hebrews 11:30-40*

Pope makes surprise appearance during Mass in St. Peter’s Square

Pope Francis made a surprise appearance in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday morning during a special Jubilee Mass for the sick and health care workers.
The pontiff, who was rolled into the square on a wheelchair, was making his first public appearance at the Vatican since being released from hospital two weeks earlier.
As he made his way to the altar at the square, he waved at the crowd. “Good Sunday to everyone,” said the pope. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
The pope’s voice sounded louder and stronger than when he spoke outside Gemelli hospital on 23 March, the day of his release. He had been battling life-threatening pneumonia during a five-week stay there.
In an Angelus Sunday prayer written by the pope himself and read out by Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the pontiff said: “I pray for doctors, nurses and health care workers, who are not always able to work in adequate conditions and are sometimes even victims of aggression.”
“Their mission is not easy, and they must be supported and respected. I hope that the necessary resources will be invested in treatment and research, so that health care systems will be inclusive and attentive to the poor and the most fragile.”
He also thanked the inmates of Rebibbia women’s prison, who had sent him a card wishing him a quick recovery. “I pray for them and for their families,” he wrote, before wishing for peace in places affected by war, as well as more aid for Myanmar and Haiti.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has declared that a time will come when the church’s Governing Council will hold its meetings on the moon. The prominent cleric made the statement during a recent church programme, attributing the revelation to a divine message from God.
Adeboye, who is widely respected for his spiritual leadership within and beyond Nigeria, acknowledged the extraordinary nature of the prophecy but emphasized his unwavering belief in God’s ability to bring it to pass.
“I know with God all things are possible,” he said during the service. “He told me a time will come when the RCCG Governing Council will hold its meetings on the moon. It may not make sense, but that’s God. You don’t have to believe it—but it will come to pass.”
The statement has since drawn varied reactions among followers and observers, with some viewing it as a testament to faith and others questioning the feasibility of such a scenario.
