Illinois judge rules Donald Trump is disqualified from the state's 2024 election ballot. All US judges should rule so, the US Supreme Court should do so.
*THE U.S.A. MANIFESTO
*Why I believe America cannot be saved:
1. Whereas American government is systematically and structurally corrupt, it is impossible to change or reform America.
2. Trillions of dollars are involved by vested interests who are self-serving and seek to preserve America status quo.
3. There is not one strong righteous leader backed up by righteous citizens. The sign of the times is that a convicted crook and criminal wants to be the American leader.
4. The once big and dependable organizations have now become centers of falsehood. The American TVs, movies, guns, games and toys companies can only produce products of evil because violence and vulgarity make BIG money.
5. As God is my witness, I stand alone; but I have done my duty to warn the American people and I have done what I have done.

China's earthquake in Gansu-Qinghai demonstrates and proves what China has done for its people no superpower democratic or autocratic has ever done before.
The true madness is the Ukraine war supported by US, EU, and NATO, it should be ended at once unconditionally. Ukraine should surrender and renounce its old goal of joining EU & NATO.
Netanyahu has no need to run; in fact he will go down in the history of Israel and earn him a firm place in the pantheon of Jewish legends.
The claim “Israel occupation of Palestinian territories” is the biggest black lie. The world needs a big new map of Israel depicting and describing in detail the ancient history of God giving the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants. During the British colonial rule, Arabs secretly and surreptitiously moved into the so-called Palestine, and they called themselves Palestinians. IN FACT, Palestinians do not have territories. Today more than one million Palestinians occupy the Jewish land. UN etc. support
terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis are committing crime against humanity.
Is it not strange not one nation demands Hamas to Surrender? Not one nation demands Hamas to free hostages??? Since when wicked TERRORISTS become humanitarian? No one is angry at the terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. It appears Lebanon and Yemen have become legitimate targets also. For peace, IDF must destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis once and for all. Incredible indeed, UN, WHO, EU, all Arab-Islamic Nations recognize the legitimacy of terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis in 2023.
South Africa officially supports terrorists Hamas, therefore it must be kicked out from BRICKS for good!!!
By God’s grace I live to be an old age. For the first time I do not believe anyone or anything. I only believe in God and Jesus Christ my Lord and Redeemer.
When Hamas governed Gaza and West Bank, Palestinians had refugee camps, shortages of many kinds; but they did not scream for aid. When Hamas suddenly attacked Israel with rockets and missiles, killed 1,400 Israelis and took hundreds of hostages, Palestinians did not shout for peace. Now Hamas are on the brink of annihilation, Palestinians yelled for ceasefire and peace and cried out for International aid. What a perverse generation!!! Palestinians are Arabs, Palestinians do not know where to go? Why don’t Arab countries take in Arabs -- something seems strange??!!!
Strangest thing: UN, WHO, EU, NATO, ARAB-ISLAMIC nations all work for the terrorists Hamas -- the historical greatest distortion.
Hamas and Palestinians do not have homeland in Israel. The sooner they realize it the better. Who is stopping Palestinians to establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land? Arabs go to Arab’s lands is most reasonable.
It is Hamas and Hezbollah who have to escape. Hamas thought a surprised attack that killed more than 140 Israelis and took hundreds of hostages would be a military advantage. Little they realized the collateral damages become so
unbearable. Hamas are cowards who hide themselves in hospitals and schools, they were found out and targeted.
The whole world believes in a lie. Famous organizations who do not like your message call you a robot. Palestinians are very STRANGE people, when Gaza was governed by Hamas, how come there were Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza? When they are in shortage of food, water, gasoline, electricity, medicine, etc. -- they are shameless and demand the international community to give aid. There are no shortages in America, but Americans pay a high price. Have you not heard that some senior Americans ruminate whether they should take a meal or take a pill ($25 each)? If they take the medicine, they have no money to take a meal. If they eat, they cannot afford to have the medicine. Some American seniors died in winter cold even though they had a heater they could not use because of the high cost of power. Some seniors died in the summer because they could not afford to use the air conditioning. Some shameless peoples in the world however think they are entitled to have everything free. If they have natural or man-made disasters, they think they deserve to receive international aid somehow. Do you want to be an emperor if you have lots of money? You can be an emperor of those useless, insolvent, unproductive, unmotivated and good for nothing nations!!!
Two-state solution will work if Palestinians establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land. It will not work if they establish a Palestinian state in the Jewish land. Isn’t is STRANGE that UN, EU, all Arab and Muslim states support the terrorists Hamas to rule in a Palestinian state? The world believes in a lie. Arab-Muslim nations rally in support of Palestinians. Strangest indeed, none welcomes to take in Palestinians. The British Empire (United Kingdom) must come out to tell the truth: Palestinians and Hamas were Arabs who illegally occupied the Jewish land. Israel needs a big map that describes what God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. It is a new thing under the sun that UN, WHO, and terrorists are in bed and they speak in a new tongue of humanitarian?! Since when Terrorists become humanitarians?!
No one asks the real question? Where do Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis terrorists get their rockets, missiles, and weapons from? Since when terrorists stop killing the people? To give humanitarian aid to Palestinians is to support the terrorists. Palestinians (Arabs) must evacuate from Gaza, West Bank, etc. from Israel. Arab-Islamic nations must accept Palestinians (Arabs) from the Jewish land. Palestinians (Arabs) must establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land. Israel must destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis terrorists once and for all. Then conflict and crisis are ended.
Palestinians (Arabs) are displaced in Israel. Palestinians are free to go to lands of Arabs. Those who did not evacuate died in vain. Arab nations are hypocrites, not one welcomes to take in Palestinians (Arabs). Arab nations are actually causing humanitarian crisis. To demand Gaza Ceasefire is to help Hams terrorists. GAZA CRISIS was created by terrorists Hamas. Lebanon shall be destroyed for harboring terrorists Hezbollah. UN and WHO protect terrorists in the name of schools and hospitals, those died in vain. Only Egypt accepts a few Palestinians, no Arab nation is willing to take in Gaza Palestinians (Arabs). It is high time for the British government to tell the truth to the world that Palestinians (Arabs, Hamas) have no right to stay in the Jewish land. Palestinians are free to go to the Arab lands, the sooner the better.
I was willing to waste my time and effort to make a comprehensive plan to change and save America because I am an American citizen. I am not willing to waste my time and effort on United Nations because it is nothing to me. I wrote some good suggestion for China because China is the land of my ancestors. I have a few point to warn the world. 1). UN chief and some high-paid officials are good for nothing, they must be replaced. 2). UN, WHO and ICC are protecting the terrorists. 3). UN must move out of New York. 4). UN needs a new charter and requires all member states to have a NEW CONSTITUTION. The New Constitution must stipulate the majority of citizens (51%) can change government, remove any elected or appointed official instantly, and power to change government and decide any issue through the National Referendum.
What AFRICA needs most is Self-SUFFICIENCY in everything; not useless general elections, not modernization, not deluded democracy, not new corruption replacing old corruption, not fat people who sing and dance and drink beer and produce MANY children they cannot support, not foreign aid of any kind to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters. African nations and citizens need a NEW CONSTITUTION with majority (51%) through National Referendum to instantly remove unwanted leaders or politicians, to execute the junta of any military coups d'etat for any reason, and to change government or direction. Nations and peoples who habitually are corrupt, unmotivated, unproductive, with abilities to eat and drink beer, to sing and dance, to have sex and produce many children they cannot support; unable to solve their own problems and perennial in shortages of money and basic necessities; -- who have no reason to exist should not receive any humanitarian aid.
Let us be straight. Although I am a Chinese descent, I am an American citizen; I neither work for nor speak for America or China. I speak for myself. What I am doing will not win friends and influence people. Telling the truth always offends people, like dropping a bomb. Why Africa is constantly in turmoil, civil war or war with neighbors, corruption, destructive and unproductive behavior? Whether natural or man-made disasters, Africa always suffers shortages of basic necessities, shortages of money. I know white racism is bad. Do you think after 500 years white colonialists gave up Africa for nothing? Why there are no black leaders and peoples to stand up for Africa? Some black athletes are so proud that they could run faster and jump farther and higher; but they do not contribute one penny GDP to their respective countries. Why the black race is the most useless race in the world? Those tourists who visited Africa in spite of high risks are very stupid indeed. I believe only Protestant Ethic can save Africa. Black leaders and peoples have to embrace Protestant Ethic to save themselves. You do not need to be a Protestant to practice Protestant Ethic. Years ago America was built great by Protestant Ethics. Protestant nations are corrupted now. You do not know Protestant Ethic? Ask and learn from China who is not a Protestant country. Whether black leaders and peoples will have self-respect, self-dignity, hard work, thrift and self-discipline only history will tell. In all sports (whether Basket ball, Foot ball, Soccer, etc. It is wrong and unfair for Black Athletes to join White (European) or Chinese or Asian teams or groups. Black Athletes should join only Black teams or represent Africa. HAVE you ever thought why most of the illegal migrants are Black? Contrary to common belief, unlawful and illegal migrants do not have human rights. For that reason Pakistan in one day deported 1.2 million illegal Afghan migrants. Just as your neighbors cannot enjoy sex and produce a bunch of children they do not support and force you to support them. There is nothing wrong with Texas anti-immigration law. Mexico has been the conduit for unlawful migrants for many years. When illegal and unlawful migrants force themselves in, American government has every right to use military force to expel them and expel them for good. No humanitarian aid may be given to unworthy crooks and criminals.
It is hoped American and European (Western) leaders and politicians realize and repent that imperialism, supremacism, American phony democracy, capitalism and hegemony is wrong. All the world ideology is wrong!!! Only Christ can save.
Palestinians in Gaza died because they refused to evacuate. After Israel made repeated and urgent orders for Gaza to evacuate. Hamas uses Palestinian children for protection. UN and WHO use schools and hospitals to protect terrorists. Only Egypt has taken less than 100 injured Palestinians. Not one Arab-slamic nation demonstrates its sincerity to take in Palestinians (Arabs) from Gaza. As Israel forces advance on grounds, Hamas buried tons of explosives and bombs in Gaza and built long tunnels. The world must help Israel to eliminate the wicked Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists once and for all. America must destroy any nation that attacks Israel, including Iran.
The UN is a useless organization. What it should do, it does not. What it should not do, it does. In truth, Palestinians have no “legitimate right” in the Promised land. God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. During the British colonial rule, Palestinians and Hamas were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into the Promised Land (so-called Palestine) unlawfully. Hamas dared to make first the barbaric attack of Israel. Hamas made the first barbaric attack, killed more than 1,400 Jews, took more than 230 hostages, illegally occupied the Jewish land -- are these not war crimes? Hamas and Hezbollah are known terrorists. UN, EU are using all their resources to help the terrorists. They and Arab-Islamic nations want to cease fire now, because they are afraid with one stroke Israel can wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah and illegal occupants. Whatever strategy Israel uses to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis and expel illegal Palestinians effectively is a good strategy. Peoples of Arab and Muslim nations protest for Palestinians, yet no Arab or Muslim nation wants to welcome or take in any Palestinians.
Iran is warned not to participate in the war, lest it be totally
ANNILATED. Israel has no option but to destroy Hamas, Hezbolla, Houthis and expel all Palestinians from the Jewish Land. The territories occupied by Palestinians and Hamas are the Jewish land. There is no Palestinian land in the Jewish land. It is high time that Israel gets rid of all Palestinians, Hamas, Arabs from the Jewish land. No aid should be given to Palestine or Palestinians. The “legitimate aspirations” of Palestinians are to get out the Jewish Land at once to establish a Palestinian state in Arab land or there will be conflict and no peace. Syria is not wise to provide weapons to Hamas. Israel is surrounded by enemies. A stupid question: Where do Palestinians go? Palestinians are Arabs, Arabs go to the lands of Arabs. After all have been said, it is awakening and eye-opening: Arab-Islamic countries do not want Palestinian Arabs. Their doors are closed. All Arab-Islamic nations and peoples in protests support the Palestinians; but most strangely no Arab-Islamic nation would indeed welcome or take in Palestinians (Arabs). Why should there be any reason for Israel to let Palestinians (Arabs) and Hamas live in the Jewish land? Arab-Islamic nations and peoples who protest for Palestinians should indeed take Palestinians in. Palestinians may go to the Red Sea. Watch will their god open the Red Sea so that Palestinians may walk through dry land?
UN and WHO use all their resources to support and aid terrorists. And yet not one ARAB-Islamic nation welcomes the illegal occupants of Palestinians in the Jewish land. UN and Arab-Islamic nations do not demand Hamas to immediately release hundreds of hostages. Hamas does not evacuate children since Israel made repeated urgent orders. Because Hamas are using Palestinian children for their protection. The bloods of Palestinian children killed are on Hamas and Arab nations. UN and WHO use schools and hospitals to protect the terrorists. What is needed is NOT more aid trucks to Gaza but massive evacuations of illegal Palestinians into Arab-Islamic nations. There are no Palestine refugees, there are only illegal Palestinian migrant occupations of Jewish land. UN and Arab-Islamic nations do not condemn Hamas and Hezbollah for attacks of Israel with full force of rockets and missiles, killing 1,400 Israeli, taken more than 230 hostages. Europeans and Arab-Islamic nations have massive protests for Palestinians. I have seen the ugly faces of many races and nations. I have lost faith in UNITED NATIONS. I have reached the conclusion: there is no hope for the world, “without God, without hope.”
The only thing that the US does right is to support Israel to eliminate Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis and expel all Palestinians and Arabs from the Jewish land once and for all. The war will be ended when the enemies of Israel Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed and all Palestinians are expelled from the Jewish Land. If there is any Arab-Islamic joint action to help Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis by attacking Israel, America should destroy those Arab-Islamic nations with full force. Israel appears to be alone, but God will fight for Israel. Israel will be victorious to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and expel illegal occupant Palestinians from Israel, and the children of the evil prophet will go to Hell.
No true Christians can enjoy seeing a fake courtroom sketch of Jesus by Trump’s side. Donald Trump is not a Christian, much less like Jesus, more like a son of the devil. Jesus says, Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” Is it not known that during his presidency did he order killing in American foreign wars covert and overt? Courts are charging him of frauds and lies. Clearly, Donald Trump is a liar, there is no truth in him. He is the most disgraced leader, demagogue and shameless character in American history, unfit and unworthy to run as a presidential candidate of any party. Jesus also says, Mat 7:20, “So then, you will know them by their fruits.” Jhn 10:27, “My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
A so-called Christian organization is quoting the American military, “The head of the U.S. Strategic Command has said the aggressive actions from the US rivals of China and Russia are creating the “real possibility” of nuclear war.” AS A REASON THAT PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE MONEY TO THEM. “The prophecy has come true, the perilous times are here. The need is greater than ever before. If each of our viewers would give a donation, no matter the amount, you will help ensure the signs of Biblical prophecy continue to be shared here with the world. Please Give Here any amount, no matter the size, to help us continue sharing more signs of Biblical prophecy. ” The Bible prophesy will come true and we do not need to ensure the signs of Biblical prophecy continue. The dichotomy THAT the US is the good guy and Russia and China are bad guys -- is complete false and un-Biblical. It is the aggression and world domination of the West that cause the peril and threat to the world today, as evident in the Ukraine war that many Europeans oppose their governments to follow America. America is not a Christian nation and it is not on the side of Jesus Christ -- the West is the agent of the devil creating the possibility of a nuclear war that will destroy the whole world. Western leaders and politicians are blind and fools who believe they can win in a nuclear war.
Western media is not only fraudulent but most malicious and fictitious and WICKED, they are in concert declare: Who killed the Chinese economy? With two insidious and treacherous objectives: one is to create internal conflict in China to blame someone; two is a desperate distortion of fact. This Western media dare not say anything about American and European economy; Why? They are afraid of self-fulfilled prophesy. Mark Twain had an answer for them, “The reports of the death of China’s economy are greatly and grossly exaggerated.” China has the best and greatest economy in the world. It is hoped my suggestions as follows are noticed. Some Western media poisons the well by fraudulently declaring the end of China’s economic miracle. It unwittingly admits China’s economy is a miracle. If you have a perspective of China from 1985 to the present of 2023, you know for sure the spectacular successes of China in every field is truly a miracle. China’s economy will continue to boom endlessly and indefinitely for the following reasons: 1. China cracks down on corruption more effectively. 2. China continues to build on productive infrastructures. 3. China continues to increase solar and wind energy. 4. China eradicates frauds and crimes by law. 5. China streamlines central and local governments. 6. China uses budget and debt wisely and sparingly. 7. China produces desirable foreign investment environment. 8. China encourages and promotes big city night markets. 9. China facilitates and encourages internal tourism. 10. China increases growth and productivity of rural areas. 11. China solicits public opinion and maintain high approval. 12. China continues multilateralism and opposes hegemony.
ACCORDING TO Elizabeth Gulino, “According to a 2007 story in The Atlantic, Cullen Murphy, author of Are We Rome? The Fall of an Empire and the Fate of America, says there are six areas that create a compelling argument that ancient Rome and the U.S. are alike: “an exaggerated sense of self importance coupled with a myopic view of the world; a military overstretched and alienated from civilian society; an imprudent rush toward the privatization of public services; a mounting struggle to police borders; and, finally, the inherent impossibility of managing an environment of such burgeoning complexity.”
I see two most fatal areas: An exaggerated sense of self importance as an empire coupled with a deadly wrong myopic view of the world; an aggressive military overstretched and bent on world domination… American leaders and politicians are leading America to commit suicide. To save America, a NEW CONSTITUTION is needed for change.
Illegal migrants crisis exist because the UN and world leaders mismanage. The measures to solve the crisis are the following:
1). The UN must require all member states to have a New Constitution.
2). The New Constitution must stipulate the majority of citizens (51%) have the power and right to remove instantly any elected or appointed official without impeachment, change the government, change national policy, change the way of government, etc. through national referendum.
3). All military coups d'état are unlawful for whatever reason, participating generals or junta shall be executed without appeal.
4). All civil wars and war with neighbors, armed conflicts, gangs and riots, terrorists, violence and corruption are unlawful, the responsible parties shall be executed without appeal.
5). Any nation who created self-destructive problems will receive no international aid or intervention. There will be no peace-keeping troops.
6). All unlawful migrants are not true refugees, but economic and fortune seekers, public enemies who are useless for self-support, fancy themselves to enter rich nations and live on welfare for the rest of their lives.
7). All nations must declare whether they accept or reject illegal migrants and political asylums.
8). The majority of Americans reject illegal migrants, demand to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, and reject so-call asylum seekers. No humanitarian aid will be given to illegal migrants. They will be forced to return where they come from.
9). America builds walls, fences, wires, etc. to deter illegal migrants and attacks Mexico who serves as a conduit for illegal migrants.
10). Any forced entry to America by illegal migrants will be expelled by military force, the borders will be secured by the military to prevent illegal entry. Only American citizens may apply for welfare and it requires work. No single or unmarried woman may produce many children without husbands and receive welfare benefits. Any man who gets a woman pregnant shall be responsible financially and socially for woman and child.
Global hunger exists mostly because many useless nations do not produce, but they are able to engage in national conflict, corruption, civil wars, war with neighbor (s), military coups d'etat , destructive behavior. Nations like Sudan have no reasons to exist. The UN mismanages. China should not waste its hard-earned resources. The international community should not give aid to violent and worthless nations.
“Admiral John Aquilino, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), offered remarkably detailed comments on what he sees as critical future capabilities needed to fight and win a high-end conflict in his vast area of responsibility — namely against China.”
Historically, America has wronged China many times. Not once has China wronged America. The American leadership and its military have conspired to destroy China anyway without cause. America has prepared QUAD and AUKUS to do the job. American leaders and politicians have determined to do EVIL despite against the wishes and will of the people. America does not have a Constitution that stipulates the national sovereignty lies in the hands of majority citizens. Majority of citizens are powerless to remove unwanted leaders and change the government. Be alert, the DOOMSDAY Clock has struck! Nuclear exchange will SOON wipe out humanity and Jesus Christ is coming to judge and rule.
Japan has willfully begun the third release of nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific because there are not enough good nations to rise up and retaliate and sanction against the evil empire of Japan. Japan has willfully done the great evil and harm, no longer persuasion; Japanese arrogance calls for retaliation and retribution. August 24, 2023 was the day of infamy because Japanese government, in spite of strong internal and external oppositions, on purpose most outrageously, irreversibly, and irresponsibly dumped nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific to harm the world. The war crime nation never fulfills its unconditionally surrendered obligations or abides by International Law.
Japan does the easy evil way because it costs them nothing. I salute Hong Kong and Macao and nations to boldly boycott
imported food from Japan. All decent nations must rise up to sanction against Japan in food ban.
This article is written to inform readers what the Kingdom of Heaven is generally alike and what I plan to do for eternity.
Some of the things I describe and plan below to do may not fit the protocol of Heaven because of my own ignorance due to lack of Revelation, I will therefore voluntarily and completely comply and do the Will of God anyhow.
I. HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN
An American president was interviewed by media on how he can get to Heaven. He was so confident that he declared, “When I got to the pearly gate I will try to talk to Peter, in saying, I had been trying to be good man. I am sure Peter would let me into the Kingdom of Heaven.”
You see the former American president was so wrong and he did not know the salvation of God. No one is good enough to enter the Kingdom of Heaven by his/her own good deeds. No good deed is enough to qualify anyone to enter the Kingdom of God. In the sight of God we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We are all sinners deserve to be cast into Hell for eternal punishment. But for the mercy of God who sent Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners. The sinless Son of God died on the cross for our sins so that by grace through faith in Jesus Christ we might be saved and obtain the forgiveness of sin. As it it written in the Holy Scriptures,
Eph 2:5-9, “even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the boundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
Firstly, there are so many in the world who do not know that the salvation of God is a gift, not anyone can earn by good works. No one is good enough to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Secondly, Peter is not the one who guards the gate of Heaven. The Bible says,
Rev 21:12-14, “It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on the gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”
It is the angel who guards each gate. The Bible also says,
1Co 12:27-28, “Now you are Christ’s Body, and individually parts of it. And God has appointed in the Church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and various kinds of tongues.”
Do you see, Peter is an Apostle. Apostles rank the first or highest in the Church, the Body of Christ. Peter is no gate keeper.
Jesus says,
Mat 13:38-42, “and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil one; and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.
So just as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those
who commit lawlessness, and they will throw them into the Furnace of Fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Thirdly, no wicked or unbelievers can fool angels. For angels know who are devoid of the Holy Spirit. What is the proof that you are a child of God?
It is written in the Scriptures,
Rom 8:9-16, “However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
through His Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—for if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.”
Jhn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I AM the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except
through Me.”
Act 4:12, “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other Name under Heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be saved.”
You can be saved only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. And only through Jesus Christ you can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
II. TO SEE GOD
Mat 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
On my own, my heart will never be pure enough, but sanctified by the precious blood and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, I may have the privilege to see God.
It is estimated more than 1 billion children of God would wish to see God. I do not know the protocol of Heaven, whether we need to have an appointment. If yes, where and how to make an appointment. On earth, we can make a request on the Internet or send an email. I am sure Heaven has a better way of communication which no one on earth has known about it. I believe whatever the children of God need to know, they are automatically provided. There are no seminars or training schools which the children of God need to learn or attend. We have plenty of time, we have eternity. I want to see God not like billions of believers want to see the face of God, I want to have a special audience with God the Lord Almighty.
It is written,
Isa 6:3, “And one called out to another and said,
“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of armies.
The whole earth is full of His glory.”
Rev 4:8, “And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say,
“HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD, THE
ALMIGHTY, who was and who is and who is to come.”
Rev 11:17, “saying, “To You we give thanks, O Lord God Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all], Who are and Who were, because You have taken Your great power and the sovereignty [which is rightly Yours] and have [now] begun to reign.”
When I see God; this I will do:
I will prostrate myself and fall down before God, worship and bow to the ground and say three times:
Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God Almighty,
Heavenly FATHER, I am eternally grateful.
III. TO SEE JESUS CHRIST
When I see Jesus Christ, I will never be worthy without covered by the precious blood of Jesus and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. There are probably more than one billion followers want to have special audience with Jesus Christ. As I have said before, I will completely comply with the Heavenly protocol.
As I have said before, I do not believe I will receive any crown; if I do, I will put it down at the feet of Jesus Christ. When I see Jesus Christ, I will prostrate myself, worship and bow to the ground and say three times:
Holy, Holy, Holy, my God and Redeemer, I love Thee.
Jhn 1:29, “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
Rev 6:9-11, “When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the Word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they
cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who live on the earth?” And a white robe was given to each of them; and they were told that they were to rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters who were to be killed even as they had been, was completed also.”
It is important to know, black color does not exist in the Kingdom of Heaven. Black saved believers will be transformed like angels. There are no black angels. The time of judging and avenging is determined by God.
1Pe 3:21-22, “Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of filth from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience
—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into Heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.”
Rev 6:15-17, “Then the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; and they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the sight of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
The wrath of the Lamb is the wrath of the Judge of living and dead, the Son of God.
Rev 7:9-12, “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all the tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on
the throne, and to the Lamb.” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying,
“Amen, blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might belong to our God forever and ever. Amen.”
The saved are as it is written, “A great multitude which no one could count.” The unbelieving scholars are wrong again, the Kingdom of Heaven is certainly not a lonely place. I know for sure the language of Heaven is not English, Chinese, or Russian. I believe the language of Heaven is the language of angels, and children of God will not need to learn, they will be naturally equipped and endowed.
IV. THE GENERAL CONDITION
1Co 2:9-10, “but just as it is written:
“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HUMAN HEART, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches
all things, even the depths of God.”
The Kingdom of Heaven is not what eye has seen and ear has heard, and which have not entered the human heart, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.
Jesus says,
Jhn 14:2-3, “In My Father’s home are many mansions; if that were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I AM, there you also will be.”
Rev 5:12, “saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”
The following words may partially portray the place:
Righteousness, justice, truth, peace, security, safety, joy and gladness, love, kindness, goodness, health, satisfaction, holiness, sanctification, sovereignty, liberty, obedience, faithfulness, loyalty, purity, beauty, freedom, power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, blessing,
sincerity, blessing, glory, thanksgiving, honor, power, might, eternity.
I believe the Lord has long ago prepared the place for His followers, and the place is called New Heavens and New Earth.
The New Heaven and Earth
Rev 21:1-8, “Then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth; for the first
heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer
any sea. And I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe
away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things
have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said,
“Behold, I AM making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give water to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life, without cost. The one who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
(cf. Eze 48:30–35 )
Rev 21:23, “And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to
shine on it, for the glory of God has illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.”
I do not believe anyone alive knows the following meaning, “Behold, I AM making all things new.” All things include what? No one even knows the all old things now. But for sure there will be no more of the following:
No more sickness.
No more disease.
No more sorrow.
No more tear.
No more death.
No more mourning.

All the nations who forget God.”
No more the wicked.
No more all the nations who forget God.
1Co 5:11, “But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is a sexually immoral person, or a greedy person, or an idolater, or is verbally abusive, or habitually drunk, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a person.”
No more greedy person.
No more verbally abusive.
No more habitually drunk.
No more swindler.
No more deceiver.
Isa 104:35, “May sinners be removed from the earth
And may the wicked be no more.
Bless the LORD, my soul.
Praise the LORD!”
No more sinners.
No more the wicked.
NO more crooks.
1Pe 3:21, “Corresponding to that, baptism now saves
you—not the removal of filth from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

In the physical universe:
Rev 21:1-8, “Then I saw a New Heaven and a New
Earth; for the first heaven and the first earth
passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
And I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give water to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life, without cost. The one who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Although Palestinians and Hamas are supported by Arab-Islamic nations, but they have no part or portion in the Holy City, New Jerusalem.
No more sea.
According to https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/sea/
“The phrase “the Seven Seas” has been around for centuries, but that term really refers to different parts of the ocean and several other large bodies of water. There are actually more than seven seas in the world. But what makes a sea different from other bodies of water?
That is not an easy question to answer, because the definition of a sea leaves some room for interpretation. In general, a sea is defined as a portion of the ocean that is partly surrounded by land. Given that definition, there are about 50 seas around the world. But that number includes water bodies not always thought of as seas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Hudson Bay.
Moreover, in some cases, a sea is completely landlocked. The Caspian Sea is the most famous example, though this sea, which lies between Russia and Iran, is also referred to as the world’s largest lake. Other seas surrounded by land include the Aral Sea and the Dead Sea. They contain saltwater and have been called seas for many years, but many oceanographers and geographers are more inclined to call them lakes.
Still, that leaves dozens of water bodies that fit the traditional definition of a sea, even though they can be quite different from one another. A sea can be more than 2.6 million square kilometers (1 million square miles) in area, such as the Caribbean Sea. Or, it can be as tiny as the Sea of Marmara, which is less than 12,950 square kilometers (5,000 square miles) in area. This tiny Turkish sea connects the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea.
A sea can also be very warm for most of the year. The Red Sea, for instance, has an average temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). It is also the saltiest sea, containing 41 parts of salt per 1,000 parts of seawater. Seas can be quite cold, too. The Greenland Sea, for instance, has surface water that hovers near the freezing mark most of the year.
The variety of the sizes, temperatures, and locations of the Earth’s seas also means that the marine ecosystems within each sea can vary greatly from one to the other. The Baltic Sea in Scandinavia is the world’s youngest sea having formed between 10 thousand and 15 thousand years ago from glacial erosion. It contains a unique mixture of saltwater and freshwater, making it the largest brackish water body on the planet. As a result, the Baltic Sea contains a small, but rare, variety of freshwater and saltwater plants and animals that have been able to adapt to their brackish environment.
Not surprisingly, the diversity of the world’s seas also draws National Geographic explorers, such as oceanographer Katy Croff Bell. She was part of the crew aboard the exploration vessel Nautilus, a ship that shared its scientific discoveries in the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and elsewhere with students around the world in online lessons and chats. She says the seas—big and small, cold and warm—can teach scientists about the rest of the world. “We’re going to places that have never been explored to see what’s there,” Bell told MIT Technology Review in 2015. “There are things we can’t even conceive of out there, and it will take a long, long time to fully understand our own planet.”
If scientists do not fully understand our own planet because they do not know all the seas, what is the implication if in the New Earth there is no sea?
Rev 7:16, “They will no longer hunger nor thirst, nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any scorching heat.”
No more hunger.
No more thirst.
No more drugs.
No more famine.
No more malnutrition.
No more heat.
No more air conditioning.
No more sun.
No more pollution.
The sun is even more complicated than the sea.
According to https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/sun/
“The sun is an ordinary star, one of about 100 billion in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The sun has extremely important influences on our planet: It drives weather, ocean currents, seasons, and climate, and makes plant life possible through photosynthesis. Without the sun’s heat and light, life on Earth would not exist.
The sun is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) from Earth. This distance, called an astronomical unit (AU), is a standard measure of distance for astronomers and astrophysicists.
An AU can be measured at light speed, or the time it takes for a photon of light to travel from the sun to Earth. It takes light about eight minutes and 19 seconds to reach Earth from the sun.
The radius of the sun, or the distance from the very center to the outer limits, is about 700,000 kilometers (432,000 miles). That distance is about 109 times the size of Earth’s radius. The sun not only has a much larger radius than Earth—it is also much more massive. The sun’s mass is more than 333,000 times that of Earth, and contains about 99.8 percent of all of the mass in the entire solar system!
Composition
The sun is made up of a blazing combination of gases. These gases are actually in the form of plasma. Plasma is a state of matter similar to gas, but with most of the particles ionized. This means the particles have an increased or reduced number of electrons.
About three quarters of the sun is hydrogen, which is constantly fusing together and creating helium by a process called nuclear fusion. Helium makes up almost the entire remaining quarter. A very small percentage (1.69 percent) of the sun’s mass is made up of other gases and metals: iron, nickel, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, magnesium, carbon, neon, calcium, and chromium This 1.69 percent may seem insignificant, but its mass is still 5,628 times the mass of Earth.
The sun is not a solid mass. It does not have the easily identifiable boundaries of rocky planets like Earth. Instead, the sun is composed of layers made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. These gases carry out different functions in each layer, and the sun’s layers are measured by their percentage of the sun’s total radius.
The sun is permeated and somewhat controlled by a magnetic field. The magnetic field is defined by a combination of three complex mechanisms: a circular electric current that runs through the sun, layers of the sun that rotate at different speeds, and the sun’s ability to conduct electricity. Near the sun’s equator, magnetic field lines make small loops near the surface. Magnetic field lines that flow through the poles extend much farther, thousands of kilometers, before returning to the opposite pole.
The sun rotates around its own axis, just like Earth. The sun rotates counterclockwise, and takes between 25 and 35 days to complete a single rotation.
The sun orbits clockwise around the center of the Milky Way. Its orbit is between 24,000 and 26,000 light-years away from the galactic center. The sun takes about 225 million to 250 million years to orbit one time around the galactic center.
Eventually, the sun’s core reaches a temperature of about 100 million on the Kelvin scale (almost 100 million degrees Celsius or 180 million degrees Farenheit), the common scientific scale for measuring temperature. When it reaches this temperature, helium will begin fusing to create carbon, a much heavier element. This will cause intense solar wind and other solar activity, which will eventually throw off the entire outer layers of the sun. The red giant phase will be over. Only the sun’s carbon core will be left, and as a “white dwarf,” it will not create or emit energy.”
Obviously, the New Heaven and the New Earth will require a separate article. Children of God have nothing to worry in the New Heaven and the New Earth. It is written,
Rev 22:1-5, “And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God
and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either
side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve
kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because
the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will reign forever and ever.”
No more curse.
No more sun.
Something will be infinitely better because the Lord God will illuminate them.
V. INTERVIEW PERSONAGES
There are many important and interesting persons to get to know personally. We only worship God and Jesus Christ, other personages we bow but do not worship.
A). ABRAHAM
In the whole universe, there was only one person who is called a friend of God. In my opinion, Abraham is the most magnificent person ever lived.
Jas 2:23, “and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called a friend of God.”
I will request Abraham to share the experience he and his son Isaac on Moriah.
Gen 22:1-8, “Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Take now
your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men
with him and his son Isaac; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance.
Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.”
In my opinion, Abraham was the most magnificent person ever lived on earth. No wonder he was called a friend of God.
B). ENOCH
Gen 5:24, “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.”
I shall request Enoch to share with me his walking with God experience and how God took him home.
C). METHUSELAH
Gen 5:27, “So all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.”
Since Methuselah was the man who lived the longest on earth, I request him to share with me the greatest experience and the greatest truth he had learned in his long life.
D). NOAH
Gen 6:13-17, “God said to Noah, “I intend to make an end of all that lives, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I am about to destroy them together with the land. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make in it rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, compartments) and coat it inside and out with pitch (bitumen). This is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits (450’ x 75’ x 45’). You shall make a window [for light and ventilation] for the ark, and finish it to at least a cubit (eighteen inches) from the top—and set the [entry]
door of the ark in its side; and you shall make it with lower, second and third decks. For behold, I, even I, will bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all life under the heavens in which there is the breath and spirit of life; everything that is on the land shall die.”
I shall request Noah to share with me his many years of building the Ark and preaching with no converts. What was the reason that after many years of preaching, not one person heeded the coming flood, the judgment of God?
E). JOSEPH
Gen 50:19-20, “But Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place? As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to keep
many people alive.”
Gen 39:7-10, “And it came about after these events
that his master’s wife had her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Sleep with me.” But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put me in charge of all that he owns. There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil, and sin against God?” Though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.”
I shall request that Joseph TO share how his great discovery that although his brothers meant evil against him, but God meant it for good? And how he in his greatest sex drive refused his master’s wife to have sex with her?
What Joseph had learned in managing famine of Egypt for so many years?
F). MOSES
Exo 3:1-6, “Now Moses was pasturing the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. Then the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not being consumed. So Moses said, “I must turn aside and see this
marvelous sight, why the bush is not burning up!” When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. And He said, “I AM the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.”
I want to ask Moses to share his marvelous experience of the Burning Bush and what he learned in the wilderness the second 40 years of his life.
Exo 14:5-31, “When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his servants had a change of heart toward the people, and they said, “What is this that we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” So he had horses harnessed to his chariot and took his people with him; and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them.
So the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he chased after the sons of Israel as the sons of Israel were going out boldly. Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and
chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. As Pharaoh approached, the sons of Israel looked, and behold, the Egyptians were coming after them, and they became
very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD. Then they said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness!”
The Sea Is Divided
But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will perform for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again, ever.
“The LORD will fight for you, while you keep silent.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me?
Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.
As for you, lift up your staff and reach out with your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land. And as for Me, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.
Then the Egyptians will know that I AM the LORD, when I AM honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his horsemen.”
Then the Angel of God, who had been going before
the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them;
and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Therefore the one did not approach the other all night. Then Moses reached
out with his hand over the sea; and the LORD swept the sea
back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on
their right and on their left. Then the Egyptians took up the pursuit,
and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. But at the morning watch, the LORD looked
down on the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and brought the army of the Egyptians into confusion. He caused their chariot
wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians each said, “Let me flee from Israel, for the LORD is fighting for them against the Egyptians.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” So Moses reached out
with his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it; then the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. The waters
returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them
remained. But the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left. So the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians,
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. When Israel saw the great power which the LORD had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses.”
I request Moses to share his last 40 years of life in particular crossing the Red Sea.
G). DAVID
1Sa 17:21-27, “Israel and the Philistines drew up
in battle formation, army against army.
Then David left the baggage in the care of the baggage keeper and ran to the battle line. And he entered and greeted his brothers. As he was speaking with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine from Gath named Goliath, was coming up from the army of the Philistines,
and he spoke these same words; and David heard him.
When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were very fearful. And the men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? Surely he is coming up to defy Israel. And it will be that the king will make the man who kills him wealthy with great riches, and will give him his daughter and make his father’s house free in Israel.”
Then David said to the men who were standing by him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and rids Israel of the disgrace?
For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he has dared to defy the armies of the living God?” The people answered him in agreement with
this statement, saying, “This is what will be done for the man who
kills him.”
2Sa 12:5-10, “Then David’s anger burned greatly against the man,
and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this certainly deserves to die! So he must make restitution for the lamb four times over, since he did this thing and had no compassion.” Nathan
then said to David, “You yourself are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘It is I who anointed you as king over Israel,
and it is I who rescued you from the hand of Saul. I also gave you your master’s house and put your master’s wives into your care, and
I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these! Why have you despised the Word of the LORD, by doing evil in His sight? You have struck and killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, you have taken his wife as your wife, and you have slaughtered him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
Now then, the sword shall never leave your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.”
I shall request David to share his great victory in killing Goliah and his great sin in the case of Bathsheba.
What was the greatest truth David had learned in being king for so many years?
H). ELIJAH
Jas 5:17-18, “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured
rain and the earth produced its fruit.”
Although Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, I consider him the greatest prophet.
1Ki 18:17-40, “When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is this you, the cause of disaster to Israel?”
He said, “I have not brought disaster to Israel, but you and your father’s house have, because you have abandoned the commandments of the LORD and you have followed the Baals. Now then, send orders and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with 450 prophets of Baal
and four hundred prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
God or Baal on Mount Carmel
“So Ahab sent orders among all the sons of Israel and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel. Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long are you going to struggle with the two choices? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people did not answer him so much as a word. Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left as a prophet of the LORD, while Baal’s prophets are 450 men. Now have them give us two oxen; and have them choose the one ox
for themselves and cut it up, and place it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other ox and lay it on the wood, and I will not
put a fire under it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD; and the God who answers by fire, He is God.”
And all the people replied, “That is a good idea.” So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose the one ox for yourselves and prepare
it first, since there are many of you, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under the ox.”
Then they took the ox which was given them and they prepared it, and they called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answered. And they
limped about the altar which they had made. And at noon Elijah ridiculed them and said, “Call out with a loud voice, since he is a god; undoubtedly he is attending to business, or is on the way, or is on a journey. Perhaps he is asleep, and will awaken.”
So they cried out with a loud voice, and cut themselves according
to their custom with swords and lances until blood gushed out on them. When midday was past, they raved until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.
Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come forward to me.” So all the people came forward to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD which had been torn down. Then Elijah took twelve stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Word of the LORD had come, saying, “Israel shall be your name.” And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD; and he made a trench around the altar, large enough to hold two measures of seed. Then he laid out the wood, and he cut the ox in pieces and placed it on the wood. And he said,
“Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.” And he said, “Do it a second time,” so they did it a second time. Then he said, “Do it a third time,” so they did it a third time. The water flowed around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.
Elijah’s Prayer
“Then at the time of the offering of the evening
sacrifice, Elijah the prophet approached and said, “LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your Word. Answer me, LORD, answer me, so that this people may know that You, LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back.”
Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood, and the stones and the dust; and it licked up the water that was in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The LORD, He is God; the LORD, He is God!” Then Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape.” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slaughtered them there.”
I want to request that Elijah share with me his spectacular experience on Mount Carmel.
2Ki 2:8-12, “And Elijah took his coat, folded it, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask me what I should do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” And as they were walking along and talking, behold, a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and they separated the two of them. Then Elijah went up by a whirlwind to Heaven. And Elisha was watching it and he was crying out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” And he did not see Elijah again. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.”
I want to ask Elijah to share his most unusual experience with a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire went up to Heaven.
Would Elijah comment on the “spirit and power of Elijah”?
I.) SHADRACH, MESHACH, and ABED-NEGO
Dan 3:8-18, “For this reason at that time certain
Chaldeans came forward and brought charges againstthe Jews. They began to speak and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: “O king, live forever! You, O king, have made a decree that every person who
hears the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, is to fall down and worship the golden statue. But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be thrown into the middle of a furnace of blazing fire. There are certain Jews
whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. These men, O king, have disregarded you; they do not serve your gods, nor do they worship the golden statue which you have set up.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and anger gave orders to bring
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; then these men were brought before the king. Nebuchadnezzar began speaking and said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you do not serve my gods, nor worship the golden statue that I have set up? Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, to fall down and worship the statue that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can rescue you from my hands?”
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego replied to the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we are not in need of an answer to give you concerning this matter.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods nor worship the golden statue that you have set up.”
What gave them the determination not to serve and worship the golden statue of Nebuchadnezzar?
Dan 3:19-27, “Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
He answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more
than it was usually heated. And he ordered certain valiant warriors who
were in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in order to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire. Then these men were
tied up in their trousers, their coats, their caps, and their other clothes, and were thrown into the middle of the furnace of blazing fire. For this
reason, because the king’s command was harsh and the furnace
had been made extremely hot, the flame of the fire killed those
men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell into the middle of the furnace of blazing fire still tied up. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up quickly; he said to his counselors, “Was it not three men that we threw bound into the middle of the fire?” They replied to the king, “Absolutely, O king.” He responded, “Look! I see
four men untied and walking about in the middle of the fire unharmed, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!”
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the middle of the fire. The satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men, nor was the hair of their heads singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had even the smell of fire touched them.
I want them to share with me the fiery experience and walking about in the middle of fire with the Son of God. God had given you so much wisdom and revelation, please tell me what was the greatest truth you had learned?
J). DANIEL
Dan 6:7-24, “All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who offers a prayer to any god or person besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it will not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.”
Thereupon, King Darius signed the document, that is, the injunction. Now when Daniel learned that the document was signed, he entered his house (and in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem);
and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and offering praise before his God, just as he had been doing previously.
Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel offering a prayer and imploring favor before his God. Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king’s injunction: “Did you not sign an injunction that any person who offers a prayer to any god or person besides you, O king,
for thirty days, is to be thrown into the lions’ den?” The king replied, “The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.”
Then they responded and spoke before the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps offering his prayer three times day.”
Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply distressed,
and set his mind on rescuing Daniel; and until sunset he kept exerting
himself to save him. Then these men came by agreement to the king and
said to the king, “Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed.”
Daniel in the Lions’ Den
“Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and thrown into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “Your God whom you continually serve will Himself rescue you.” And a stone was brought and placed over
the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be changed regarding Daniel. Then the king went to his palace and spent the night
fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep
fled from him. Then the king got up at dawn, at the break of day, and went in a hurry to the lions’ den. And when he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king began speaking and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you continually serve, been able to rescue you from the lions?” Then Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, since I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.”
Then the king was very glad and gave orders for Daniel to be lifted up out of the den. So Daniel was lifted up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had
maliciously accused Daniel, and they threw them, their children, and their wives into the lions’ den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.”
I request that Daniel share his experience with me how God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths.
I want to kiss the hands of the following noble women in history in accordance with the custom of the earth to give them respect and admiration. However, since there will be no gender difference in Heaven, all children of God will become sons of God like the angels. I do not know what I will do may violate the Heavenly protocol or not. If so, I will discard the ritual and follow the Heavenly protocol instead. I have pledged myself never to violate the protocol of Heaven and subject myself always to the decree of God unconditionally.
K). SARAH or SARAI
Gen 12:11-21, “It came about, when he was approaching Egypt, that he said to his wife Sarai, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman;
and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you, and that I may live on account of you.” Now it came about, when Abram entered Egypt, that the Egyptians
saw that the woman was very beautiful. Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. Therefore he treated Abram well for her sake; and he gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants and female servants, female donkeys, and camels. But the LORD struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.”
I want to ask Sarah how she was keeping her beauty without vanity. Years ago I discovered there is vanity in beauty, but no beauty in vanity. How did Sarah keep beauty without vanity?
Gen 17:17-27, “Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to a man a hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth to a child?”
And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before You!” But God said, “No, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
“As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation. But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this season next year.” When He finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham. Then Abraham took
his son Ishmael, and all the slaves who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on this very same day, as God had said to him. Now Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. And his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. On this very same day Abraham was circumcised, as well as his son Ishmael. And all the men of his household, those who were born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.”
I want to ask Sarah to share her experience how was a woman of ninety years old who was past childbearing to give birth to a son.
L). RUTH
Rth 1:12-18, “Return, my daughters! Go, for I am too
old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, if I were even to have a husband tonight and also give birth to sons, would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is much more bitter for me than for you, because the hand of the LORD has come out
against me.”
Ruth’s Loyalty
“And they raised their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. Then she said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister-in-law.”
But Ruth said, “Do not plead with me to leave you
or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you sleep, I will sleep. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD do so to me, and worse, if anything but death separates me from you.” When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped
speaking to her about it.”
I want to ask Ruth how did she said the most beautiful, literary, charming and most touching things to her mother-in-law Naomi.
Rth 4:13-15, “So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he had relations with her. And the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. May he also be to you one who restores life and sustains your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”
If there is marriage made in Heaven, I believe Boaz and Ruth is one. I want to ask Ruth to share her experience for being a virtuous woman, having such a good husband and a pleasant mother-in-law Naomi.
M). MARY, mother of Jesus
Luk 1:26-35, “Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent
from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”
But she was very perplexed at this statement, and was pondering what kind of greeting this was. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the
house of Jacob forever, and His Kingdom will have no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel
answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the Holy Child will be called the Son of God.”
I want Mary to share her one-and-only experience that a virgin was pregnant by the Holy Spirit to bear the Son of God.
Jhn 2:1-11,”On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “What business do you have with Me, woman? My hour has not yet come.” His mother
said to the servants, “Whatever He tells you, do it.”
Now there were six stone waterpots standing there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing two or three measures each. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” And they took it to him. Now when the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the groom, and said to him,
“Every man serves the good wine first, and when the guests are
drunk, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
This beginning of His miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.”
I ask Mary to share her Cana wedding experience and how Jesus turned water into good wine and her best advice ever recorded, “Whatever He tells you, do it.” And did she know the Roman Catholic Church created the greatest heresy by calling her the Mother of God?
Mary cannot save anybody because she needed the Salvation of God and the Savior of mankind herself.
N). MARY MAGDALENE
Mar 16:9-11, “Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven
demons. She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping. And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.”
I want to ask Mary Magdalene to share her experience to be freed of seven demons and the joy to be the first person to see the Lord after resurrection.
Jhn 20:11-18, “But Mary was standing outside the tomb, weeping; so as she wept, she stooped to look into the tomb; and she saw two
angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying. And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they put Him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and yet she did not know that
it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Thinking that He was the gardener, she said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’ Mary Magdalene came and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.”
I want to ask Mary to share her joy of being the first person to see Jesus after the Resurrection. Mary Magdalene is an outstanding example of God’s grace and how the goodness of the Lord can make a believer great.
O). MARY of Bethany
Luk 10:39-42, “And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His Word. But Martha was distracted
with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving by myself? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
I want to ask Mary to share with her experience being seated at the Lord’s feet and what was the greatest truth she had listening to His Word.
Jhn 11:2, “And it was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick."
Mat 26:6-13, “Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very expensive
perfume, and she poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table.
But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, “Why this waste? “For this perfume could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering the woman? For she has done a good deed for Me. For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for
burial. Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
I want to ask Mary how did she know the right time to pour out the very expensive perfume on Jesus’ body to prepare Him for burial? Mary of Bethany was a believer who loved the Lord so much and the Lord wanted her to be remembered.
P). MICHAEL the archangel
Rev 12:7-17, “And there was war in Heaven, Michael and his angels
waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in Heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old
who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in Heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the Kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the Word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.
“For this reason, rejoice, you Heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you with
great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.”
And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time, times, and half a time, away from the presence of the serpent. And the serpent hurled water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon had hurled out of his mouth. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.”
I want to ask Michael the archangel how was the war with the great dragon with his angels long long time ago.
Isa 14:12-20, “How you are fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit
on the Mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit." Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities,
who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
“All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory,
everyone in his own house; but you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, like the garment of those who are slain, thrust through with a sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, like corpse trodden underfoot. You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land and slain your people. The brood of evildoers shall never be named.”
I shall ask Michael if he had watched the fall of Lucifer?
Q). GABRIEL
Luk 1:8-20, “Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division, according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering. Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. Zechariah was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him. But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife
Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall name him John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb. And he will turn many of the sons of Israel back to the Lord their God. And it is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF FATHERS BACK TO THEIR CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord.”
Zechariah said to the angel, “How will I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her years.” The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things
take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
Luk 1:26-38, “Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent
from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was very perplexed at this statement, and was pondering what kind of greeting this was. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His Kingdom will have no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the Holy Child will be called the Son of God. And behold, even your relative Elizabeth herself has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called infertile is now in her sixth month. For nothing will be impossible with God.”
And Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s bond-servant; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
I want to ask Gabriel the most exciting and unforgettable assignment he has ever taken.
VI. PARTICIPATION
Rev 4:1-11, “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.”
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in Heaven, and someone was sitting on the throne. And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and
golden crowns on their heads. Out from the throne came flashes of
lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were
seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God; and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne,
four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was
like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say,
“HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, who was and who is and who is to come.”
And when the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and they will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor
and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they
existed, and were created.”
There is no revelation about the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. It appears to me the 24-elders are persons of high importance who sit on thrones and have golden crowns on their heads, and the four living creatures are the leaders in the worship service. They all worship our Lord and our God, Jesus Christ who lives forever and ever. I know I may not be deemed worthy to participate in the worship service, I would be elated just to be an observer. If I could interview one of the living creatures and one of the 24-elders, it would be wonderful.
Rev 5:6-14, “And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. When He had taken the scroll, the four living
creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation. You have made them
into a Kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels around the
throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,
saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”
And I heard every created thing which is in Heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying,
“To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing,
the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.”
And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
However unworthy I am, I want to be among the myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, to say with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, might, honor, glory and blessing. I want to say, “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever. I want to fall down and worship.
Rev 14:1-5, “Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 who had His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
And I heard a voice from Heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to learn the song except the 144,000 who had been purchased from the earth. These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are celibate. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from mankind as first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And no lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.”
Although I am not one of the 144,000 and not able to learn the new song, I want to observe and see and hear everything on Mount Zion.
I wish to participate or observe daily in the worship services, concerts of angels, and Heavenly activities as much as possible.
VIII. EXPLORATION
First of all, I want to get familiar with the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.
The New Heaven and Earth
Rev 21:1-27, “Then I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away (vanished), and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, arrayed like a bride adorned for her husband; and then I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “See! The tabernacle of God is among men, and He will live among them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them [as their God,] and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the former order of things has passed away.”
And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I AM making all things new.” Also He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true [they are accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy].” And He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give [water] from the fountain of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes [the world by adhering faithfully to Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior] will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the Lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
The New Jerusalem
(cf. Eze 48:30–35 )
Rev 21:9-27, “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven final plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a vast and lofty mountain, and showed me the Holy (sanctified) City of Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven from God, having God’s glory [filled with His radiant light]. The brilliance of it resembled a rare and very precious jewel, like jasper, shining and clear as crystal. It had massive and high wall, with twelve [large] gates, and at the gates [were stationed] twelve angels; and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were written. On the east side [there were] three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb (Christ). The one who was speaking with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall. The city is laid out as a square, its length being the same as its width; and he measured the city with his rod—twelve thousand stadia (about 1,400 miles); its length and width and height are equal.
He measured its wall also—a hundred forty-four cubits (about 200 feet), according to man’s measurements, which are [also] angelic
[measurements]. The wall was built of jasper; and the City was pure gold, transparent like clear crystal.
The foundation stones of the wall of the City were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; the fifth,
sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite (yellow topaz); the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each separate gate was of one single pearl. And the street (broad way) of the City was pure gold, like transparent crystal. I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all] and the Lamb are its temple. And the City has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it, for the glory (splendor, radiance) of God has illumined it, and the Lamb is its lamp and light. The nations [the redeemed people from the earth] will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring into it their glory.
By day (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed [in fear of evil]; and they will bring the glory (splendor, majesty) and the honor of the nations into it; and nothing that defiles or profanes or is unwashed will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices abominations
[detestable, morally repugnant things] and lying, but only those [will be admitted] whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”
I do not know yet where my mansion will be located in the Holy City, New Jerusalem. I want to explore the Holy City first, as a square, its length being the same as its width; (about 1,400 miles); its length and width and height are equal. It is a big City that no one has ever known or seen it before and it is a square of about 1,400 miles in length and width and height. I am sure it will take a long time to get to know the City. I want to know the neighbourhood. But I have time, my Redeemer has given me eternity.
This at least gives you a glimpse of how vast and broad and big a project to undertake in exploring the Holy City, New Jerusalem. For a square city of about 1,400 miles in length and width and height, do you know how many days it will take to just a walk? Imagine to walk 1,400 miles in length, to walk 1,400 miles in width, and to walk 1,400 miles in height? Is there an elevator? But my Lord has given me a glorious and powerful body so I am able to walk up high. I am no mathematician to calculate what a walk is this. I do not know on what mile high will be my mansion. I am sure it will have a spectacular good view of the New Earth.
The River and the Tree of Life
Rev 22:1-5, “And he showed me a River of the Water of Life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the Tree of Life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will reign forever and ever.
Since there is no night, what will be the Heavenly Calendar? How do you count days, months, and years?
Rev 22:6-9, “And he said to me, “These Words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this book.”
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. And he said to me, “Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this book. Worship God!”
The priority of my exploration includes:
1. The Holy City, New Jerusalem
Isa 52:1,
“Awake, awake,
Clothe yourself in your strength, Zion;
Clothe yourself with your beautiful garments,
Jerusalem, the Holy City;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
Will no longer come into you.”
In the New Jerusalem, the Holy City, Palestinians, Hamas and Arabs will no longer come or exist.
2. The New Earth
“For behold, I create New Heavens and a New Earth;
And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.”
There are so many things we do not know about the New Earth. Actually, we do not know much about the old (present) earth either.
According to https://sciencestruck.com/four-main-layers-of-earth
“The four main layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, outer core, and the inner core. The planet Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, after the collapse of the supermassive gaseous body. As time moved on, the Earth cooled down and is still cooling, as of today. As a result of the cooling process, denser materials like iron and sulfur sank to the inside of the Earth; whereas, lighter materials like silicates and water came the surface.”
There are not many who know there are four main layers of the Earth.
“The outer core is liquid and made up of iron and nickel. The recorded density is very high, but less than pure molten iron. Hence, scientists are of the opinion that sulfur and oxygen may be present in the outer core. This is because, these two elements dissolve easily in liquid iron. The outer core measures 1400 miles in thickness and 8000 – 11000 °F in temperature. As the Earth rotates, the outer core (consisting of iron) spins over the inner core and generates the Earth’s magnetic field.”
“The crust or the Lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth made up of silicate rock materials. It makes up only about one percent of the Earth. Most earthquakes occur in the crust. The temperature of this layer can reach up to 1600 °F at considerable depths. For example; the continental crust is about 8-mile thick and composed of lighter materials like granite, quartz, and feldspar. Whereas, the oceanic crust measures about 3 miles and is mostly made up of basalt.”
“The mantle, the largest layer of the Earth, is made up of iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, silicone, and oxygen. In fact, most of the Earth’s mass (about 80 percent) lies in the mantle. The temperature in this layer is estimated to be about 1600 – 4000 °F. It is in this layer that volcano magma is present. The overall thickness of the mantle layer is 1,802 miles. For simple study and understanding, the mantle layer is further divided into the upper and lower sections.”
“The inner core, as the name suggests, is the innermost layer of the Earth, and is characterized by extremely high temperature (may reach 9000 – 13,000 °F) and pressure conditions. The intense heat reflected from the inner core mobilizes the materials of the outer core and the mantle. It is due to the high pressure that the inner core materials are unable to move, and hence remain solid. The thickness of the inner core is believed to be about 800 miles.
“As per geographical data, the diameter of the Earth is 7,926 miles. It is again enveloped by the atmosphere, which comprises five major layers, namely, the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The atmosphere provides air, water, warmth, and protects us from the harmful rays of the sun. Without atmosphere, life on Earth would be impossible!”
To be honest, I do not have the knowledge of the present earth cited above, and I do not know any person who does. How am I to explore the New Earth which I know nothing?
Just one thing puzzles me a great deal is atmosphere. According to https://scied.ucar.edu/learning-zone/atmosphere/what-is-atmosphere
“WHAT IS THE ATMOSPHERE?
“The atmosphere is a mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. It helps make life possible by providing us with air to breathe, shielding us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the Sun, trapping heat to warm the planet, and preventing extreme temperature differences between day and night. Without the atmosphere, temperatures would be well below freezing everywhere on Earth's surface. Instead, the heat absorbed and trapped by our atmosphere keeps our planet's average surface temperature at a balmy 15°C (59°F). Some of the atmosphere's gases, like carbon dioxide, are particularly good at absorbing and trapping radiation. Changes in the amounts of these gases directly affect our climate.
Gases in Earth's Atmosphere
Each of the planets in our solar system has an atmosphere, but none of them have the same ratio of gases or layered structure as Earth's atmosphere.
Nitrogen and oxygen are by far the most common gases in our atmosphere. Dry air is composed of about 78% nitrogen (N2) and about 21% oxygen (O2). The remaining less than 1% of the atmosphere is a mixture of gases, including argon (Ar) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The atmosphere also contains varying amounts of water vapor, on average about 1%. There are also many, tiny, solid or liquid particles, called aerosols, in the atmosphere. Aerosols can be made of dust, spores and pollen, salt from sea spray, volcanic ash, smoke, and pollutants introduced through human activity.
Earth's Atmosphere Has Layers
The atmosphere becomes thinner (less dense and lower in air pressure) the further it extends from the Earth's surface. It gradually gives way to the vacuum of space. There is no precise top of the atmosphere, but the area between 100-120 km (62-75 miles) above the Earth's surface is often considered the boundary between the atmosphere and space because the air is so thin here. However, there are measurable traces of atmospheric gases beyond this boundary, detectable for hundreds of kilometers/miles from Earth's surface.
There are several unique layers in Earth's atmosphere. Each has characteristic temperatures, pressures, and phenomena. We live in the troposphere, the layer closest to Earth's surface, where most clouds are found and almost all weather occurs. Some jet aircraft fly in the next layer, the stratosphere, which contains the jet streams and a region called the ozone layer. The next layer, the mesosphere, is the coldest because the there are almost no air molecules there to absorb heat energy. There are so few molecules for light to refract off of that the sky also changes from blue to black in this layer. And farthest from the surface we have the thermosphere, which absorbs much of the harmful radiation that reaches Earth from the Sun, causing this layer to reach extremely high temperatures. Beyond the thermosphere is the exosphere, which represents the transition from Earth's atmosphere to space.
Planetary Atmospheres
Earth is not the only world with an atmosphere. Each of the planets - and even a few moons - in our solar system have an atmosphere. Some planets have active atmospheres with clouds, wind, rain and powerful storms. Scientists use light spectroscopy to observe the atmospheres of planets and moons in other solar systems.
Each of the planets in our solar system has a uniquely structured atmosphere. The atmosphere of Mercury is extremely thin and is not very different from the vacuum of space. The gas giant planets in our solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - each have a thick, deep atmosphere. The smaller, rocky planets - Earth, Venus and Mars - each have thinner atmospheres, hovering above their solid surfaces. The moons in our solar system typically have thin atmospheres, with the exception of Saturn's moon, Titan. Air pressure at the surface of Titan is higher than on Earth! Of the five officially recognized dwarf planets, Pluto has a thin atmosphere that expands and collapses seasonally, and Ceres has an extremely thin and transient atmosphere made of water vapor.
But only Earth's atmosphere has the layered structure that traps enough of the Sun's energy for warmth while also blocking much of the harmful radiation from the Sun. This important balance is necessary to maintain life on Earth.”
One thing we do know there is no sea in the New Earth. Does it mean also no lakes and rivers?
According to https://deepoceanfacts.com/types-of-sea
“6 Types of Sea – Definition – Examples
Sea is a large body of salt water and is surrounded in whole or part by land. As a matter of fact, it is known that sea takes major part than the land. It is approximately 71% part of the earth’s surface.We also have known that sea brings the major role in maintaining the earth’s climate and water cycle as well. Moreover, the sea provides many kinds of sea creatures. For instance, there are many fishes which are being used as our daily food consumption. Furthermore, it also has the natural resources you may have never expected before.
If you want to explore more about the sea, then one thing you should do is to know the good knowledge of it. You can start from knowing what actually sea is, what kinds of animals in the sea, or what sea brings to the human’s life. On the other hand, there are many means in this earth. For the example, you can find on the map that there are the Mediterranean sea and other seas as well. At this point, each of seas has different characteristics including the depth, the resources, and also different places. Then, to give you more information about the sea, we have listed the types of sea based on its specifications below.

1. Based on the Size
There are differences in every types of sea based on its sizes, as follows:
For the very first time, you may be curious about what types of the sea which are based on the size. You may think that there is large sea and some are not. Then, in this case, we will describe more about types of sea based on its size. Check it out!
Ocean
When we called the group of water as an ocean, then it is actually the form of a very wide sea as well. Ocean has a large size and also the very deep depth. As a result, you can find kinds of an ocean in this world such as Pacific and Indian Oceans as well.(see also: Marine Protected Areas)
Sea
The water group which has the wide range is called as the sea. As explained before, an ocean is the largest one while the sea has the narrower range than the ocean. In the sea, you can find many kinds of plants and animals there. Also, fishermen often do fishing in the sea. As the consequence, you can find many seas in the world such as Arafuru Sea and Sumatera Sea for the example. (see also: Ocean environment)
Strait
The next type of the sea based on its size is the presence of strait. Then, what is strait? Well, it is stated that strait is the narrow sea flanked by two islands or continents. Consequently, you can find strait in Indonesia like Bali strait and Sunda Strait as well. (see also: Ocean Natural Resources)
Bay
Another type of the sea based on its size is the presence of bay. At this point, the bay is the not too wide water group which is directly adjacent to the mainland. Thus, if you want to know what kinds of the bay are, then you can find one of them in Indonesia named Teluk Bayur.
See also: Effects of Ocean Currents – Effects of Sea Level Rise
After reading about the types of sea based on its size, then you can have a look at the next types of the sea below which is based on the location.
2. Based on the Location
Meanwhile, there are also differences in every types of sea based on its locations, as follows:
Sea Edge
The first one comes from the sea edge. As its name, this type of sea is located on the edge of the sea. Coastal is a land on the edge of the sea that flooded during high tide and dry at low tide.Then, coastal areas are larger than coastal areas. Broad coastal areas can reach between 50 – 100 m. Meanwhile, on the coastal plains, there is a process of seepage seawater, sea tides, and sea breeze, while in the waters are still influenced by land properties such as sedimentation and freshwater flow. (see also: marine energy)
Mediterranean
The next type of sea based on its location is the presence of Mediterranean. At this point, Mediterranean is also known as the middle ocean. As the consequence, Mediterranean is located between the two continents so that it called as the middle sea. (see also: Types of Sea Urchins)
The Inland Sea
As the consequence, one of sea types based on the location is the inland sea. This sea is being categorized as a shallow sea that covers central areas of sea continents. Also, it is located in the middle of the sea. The examples of the island sea are Caspian sea and the Aral Sea. (See also: Acidification of the Ocean)
Strait
What is strait? Well, it is known that strait is a narrow ocean between two islands or continents. Also, the strait is a natural form of water bodies which connects the sea. At this point, there are many examples of strait including Bali Strait and Madura Strait which is located in Indonesia. (see also: Global Warming in Ocean)
Bay
The last type of sea based on its location is the one called bay. Bay has the hollow-like shape and concaves to the mainland. Moreover, there are also a lot of bay examples such as Bayur Bay in Indonesia.
See Also:
The next types of the sea are based on the depth of the water bodies. Then, if you want to find put what are they, you can check on the following statements below.
C. Based on Depth
In addition, based on depth, there are also differences in every types of sea, as follows:
Litoral Zone
This zone is categorized as the zone which experienced the effects of tidal and longshore currents. Litoral is known has the abundant of dissolved oxygen, sunlight, and high wave energies and water motion as well. Also, litoral provides many kinds of sea animals and plants including the coral reefs. (see also: Ocean Problems)
Neritic Zone
The next type of sea which is based on its depth is the presence of neritic zone. It is known that the term neritic zone refers to “near-shore” which extends from the high tide mark to the edge of the continental shelf. As a matter of fact, it has the depth till 200 m as well. Moreover, neritic is rich in its floating algae called phytoplankton, zooplankton, and decomposers like bacteria. (See also: Ocean Plants)
Oceanic Zone
Then, the oceanic zone is the region of the open sea in the continental shelf which is divided into four parts below.
Euphotic Zone
The first part of the oceanic zone is the one named euphotic zone. This type of sea provides the sunlight penetrates and extends down about 180 m below die surface. Also, it consists kinds of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and nekton.
Bathyal Zone
The next one is the bathyal zone which has the depth around 200 – 2000 m. Indeed, it extends from the euphotic zone to a depth of about 2000 m. As a result, it does not receive any sunlight. (see also: Climate of the Ocean)
Abyssal Zone
In fact, abyssal zone often called as the ocean “deeps” as it has the lower depth compared to other ones. At this point, it has the depth around 2000 m to 4500 m. Therefore, it does not receive any light, same like Bathyal Zone.
Hadal Zone
Last, the type of sea based on its depth is the presence of Hadal Zone. As the consequence, hadal zone means the cold and dark supreme depths of the ocean trenches. As the lowest regions, it may contain the life of animals in the sea we have not discovered before like bizarre fish and arthropods. Indeed, animals who live there is the ones that survive in lightless condition for sure.(see also: How to Prevent El Nino)
As a matter of fact, there are many types of seas based on several specifications. For this reason, we have also listed the types of seas based on the occurrence process. There are three kinds of this type which is written below.
3. Based on Process of Occurrence
Fourth, there are differences in every types of sea based on the process of occurence, as follows:
Ingression Coast
According to the process of occurrence, there is a type of sea which has the name as ingression coast. This is generally level coastline which is shaped by the penetration of the sea and formed due to the decline of the seabed with a depth of more than 200 meters. At this point, the cause of this ingression coast is the presence of falling sea level during the glacial period. (See also: Ocean Coral Reef)
Marine Transgression
The next type of sea based on the occurrence process is the presence of marine transgression. At this point, the process involves the geologic event due to the impact of sea level rises relatives to the land and has a depth of fewer than 200 meters. Transgression in marine may be caused by the climate changes and tectonic events like orogenies. Moreover, marine transgression affects the central portion of North America and resulting in the Western Interior Seaway from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, a marine transgression often looked as the sedimentary column when there is a change from nearshore facies like sandstone to offshore like Marl and from the oldest to the youngest rocks. (see also: Surfance of Tension Liquids)
Marine Regression
The third type of sea based on the process of occurrence is the presence of marine regression. As a matter of fact, marine regression is the opposite of marine transgression. It is also caused by the sedimentation process of land mud into the sea due to land erosion. As a result, marine regression is linked to the events involves sea level falls relative to the land which results in the former sea bottom. For the example, water removed from the seas and stored on land so that the sea regressed 120 m and exposes the Bering land bridge between Alaska and Asia.
Consequently, for the next explanation, we have listed the types of sea based on relief as written below.
4. Based on Relief
Firstly, you may wonder what actually relief is. As a result, relief is a form of the sea itself. There are seas which have the relief parts in full while others do not completely have it. Then, if you are curious about this type, let’s have a look at the following statements below. (see also: Endangered Sea Turtles List)
Shelf
The first sea relief you need to know is the exposure of a continent or a shelf. It is known that the self is created by the basis of a shallow sea with an average depth of only 200 meters. It is also located along the coast of the continent or around or on the edge of the continent. As the consequence, you can found this continent exposure in Sunda Exposure and Sahul Exposure as well. (see also: Salinity of Ocean Water)
Trench
The next type of seas based on its relief is the presence of trench. The trench is a very deep and very narrow seabed that has steep walls and forms like a funnel. What is even great from the trench is that this sea type can be said as the part of the deepest sea. Moreover, it is known that trench is generally parallel o a volcanic island arc. Besides, the depth of trench can reach 5000 meters or even more. For the example, there is Mariana Trench which is in the Pacific Ocean and has the maximum depth of 11,034 meters as well. (see also: Effects of Greenhouse)
Bottom of the Sea (Bekken)
One of sea relief is the presence of bottom of the sea or Bekken. It is known that Bekken is a part of seabed in the form of the basin. Bekken also has the concave shape and the great depth but not as deep as the sea trench. Also, it does not have steep walls and not shaped like a funnel for sure. (see also: Deep Ocean Ecosystems)
Sea Mount
Mount of the sea is categorized as one of sea relief as it is the underwater mountain which rises from the sea floor. Also, it has the peaked or flat-topped summit below the surface of the sea. Moreover, sea mount is typically formed from extinct volcanoes that rise abruptly. The height of the mount of a sea is range from 3300 – 13100 ft as well.
In addition, you may wonder what is the link between seamount and the sea living. Then, it is stated that seamount is the marine ecosystems which interact underwater currents with the planktons, fish, corals, and other marine mammals. In contrast, people may face some problems with the presence of seamount such as the flank collapses and extrusions and also the potential for the occurrence of massive tsunamis. Further, one of the sea mounts which has been very well known by people is the presence of Mount Krakatau in Indonesia.
Sea Back
The next sea relief is the one named sea back. It is known that sea back is a relief of the sea in the form of a mountain ridge that is on the seabed. It also has the long shape as it is the back of the mountains. (see also: Sea Salt Facts)
Atoll
What is Atoll? Then, Atoll is the ring-shaped coral reef, island, or series of islets which has the very large size. It also has a circular pattern due to the ring-like shape. In Atoll, it becomes the house of kinds of marine organisms like ornamental fish and other marine plants as well. Besides, if you want to know where the atoll is, then it can be found mostly in the Pacific Ocean such as in the Tuamotu Islands, Caroline Islands, and the Marshall Islands.
Lagoon
The last type of sea based on its relief is the presence of Lagoon. It is known that lagoon is the part of the shallow sea located in the middle of Atoll. It is also the shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water that blocked by sand or rocks. Also, Lagoons are commonly divided into coastal lagoons and atoll lagoons.
5. Based on Types
Among the types of sea, you can find several types of the sea as written below.
Red Sea
The red sea is one of sea types which is lying between Africa and Asia. Moreover, red sea is also known as the Erythraean Sea. It has a depth of 3,040 m and the length of 2,250 km. Then, if you wonder why this sea called as the red sea, hence it is stated that the name is linked with the presence of an algae type called Trichodesmium erythraeum and it turns into the reddish-brown color when it blooms off. (see also: Endangered Seahorses)
Black Sea
Black sea is located between Eastern Europe and Western Asia bounded by Bulgaria, Georgia, Turkey, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. It also has the depth of 2,212 m as well. The water of this sea has much less saline due to the presence of microalgae concentration so that the color becomes darker. (see also: sea erosion)
Dead Sea
Another type of the sea is the presence of the Dead sea. Dead sea often called as the salt lake whose banks are more than 400m below sea level. The salinity of this sea is very high so that there are no marine animals that can live in there. Hence, it is called as the Dead sea. (See also: Facts of Dead Sea)
Apart from the types of sea based on specifications above, there are also the types of sea based on the maps. Indeed, this categorize is based on the large sea in the earth. Hence, if you want to know what are they, you can check the list below.
6. Based on Maps
Lastly, there are differences in every types of sea based on maps, as follows:
Pacific Ocean
As matter of fact, pacific ocean is the largest and deepest of all the oceans in the earth. As a result, it extends from Arctic in the north to Antarctica in the south, bounded by Americas in the east and Asia and Australia in the west. Further, this ocean has a depth of 10,911 meters as well and contains more than half of the earth’s volume water. Incredible, right? (read also: Causes and Effects of Tsunami)
Atlantic Ocean
This type of ocean based on its map separate the Americas from Europe and Africa. It is also known that the Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest ocean after the Pacific Ocean. At this point, this ocean has the total area of about 106,460,000 square kilometers and covers approximately 20 percent of the earth’s surface.
Indian Ocean
The third type of ocean based on its maps is the presence of Indian Ocean. This ocean separates India from Africa and covers 70,560,000 kilometers and the depth of 7,906 m as well. (see also: Volcano under the Ocean)
Arctic Ocean
The next one is the presence of the Arctic Ocean which is categorized as the smallest ocean in the world. As the consequence, it has the total area of 14,06 million kilometers. (see also: Ocean Sediments)
Southern Ocean
The last one comes from the Southern Ocean which is being the fifth world ocean. The Southern Ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica north to 60 degrees south latitude and encircling Antarctica. Moreover, it has the total area of 20,93 million kilometers.

To sum up, there are many types of seas you may have never known before. According to several specifications, there are also some seas which are divided into the parts or groups. Then, by reading this article, now you have succeeded to add the knowledge about the types of seas for sure.
The sea consists of approximately 71% part of the earth’s surface. Will the sea become dry land on the New Earth? What is the size of the New Earth?
3. The New Heavens.
“But according to His promise we are looking for New Heavens and a New Earth, in which righteousness dwells.”
Uncountable stars and galaxies and the expanding universe. The most knowledge scientists know very little about the current universe. How could anyone know anything about the New Heavens?
According to https://www.britannica.com/science/star-astronomy
“Star, any massive self-luminous celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derived from its internal energy sources. Of the tens of billions of trillions of stars composing the observable universe, only a very small percentage are visible to the naked eye. Many stars occur in pairs, multiple systems, or star clusters. The members of such stellar groups are physically related through common origin and are bound by mutual gravitational attraction. Somewhat related to star clusters are stellar associations, which consist of loose groups of physically similar stars that have insufficient mass as a group to remain together as an organization.
This article describes the properties and evolution of individual stars. Included in the discussion are the sizes, energetics, temperatures, masses, and chemical compositions of stars, as well as their distances and motions. The myriad other stars are compared with the Sun, strongly implying that “our” star is in no way special.”
Isa 40:26, “Raise your eyes on high
And see who has created these stars,
The One who brings out their multitude by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power,
Not one of them is missing.”
You must have some idea that God is infinite and His power and wisdom are unlimited, incomprehensible, unfathomable
Dan 12:3, “And those who have insight will shine like the glow of the expanse of Heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”
According to https://www.space.com/26078-how-many-stars-are-there.html
“ It's easier to count stars when they are inside galaxies, since that's where they tend to cluster, according to the Harvard and Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. To even begin to estimate the number of stars, then you would need to estimate the number of galaxies and come up with some sort of an average.
Some estimates peg the Milky Way's star mass as having 100 billion "solar masses," or 100 billion times the mass of the sun. Averaging out the types of stars within our galaxy, this would produce an answer of about 100 billion stars in the galaxy. This is subject to change, however, depending on how many stars are bigger and smaller than our own sun. Also, other estimates say the Milky Way could have 200 billion stars or more.
The number of galaxies is an astonishing number, however, as shown by some imaging experiments performed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Several times over the years, the telescope has pointed a detector at a tiny spot in the sky to count galaxies, performing the work again after the telescope was upgraded by astronauts during the shuttle era.
A 1995 exposure of a small spot in Ursa Major revealed about 3,000 faint galaxies. In 2003-4, using upgraded instruments, scientists looked at a smaller spot in the constellation Fornax and found 10,000 galaxies. An even more detailed investigation in Fornax in 2012, with even better instruments, showed about 5,500 galaxies.
Kornreich used a very rough estimate of 10 trillion galaxies in the universe. Multiplying that by the Milky Way's estimated 100 billion stars results in a large number indeed: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, or a "1" with 24 zeros after it (1 septillion in the American numbering system; 1 quadrillion in the European system). Kornreich emphasized that number is likely a gross underestimation, as more detailed looks at the universe will show even more galaxies.”
The Scripture tells us God by His might created stars without number and calls them all by name, and stars are forever. I do not know in the New Heavens there will be the same stars or some new stars. It will take eternity just to explore the stars. Some scholars are so ignorant to say the saints will be bored in Heaven?
CONCLUSION
Unless you have the Spirit of the Lord dwelling in you, you will not qualify to enter the Kingdom of Heaven; no matter who you, no matter how good you think you are. No one is good enough to enter the Kingdom of Heaven by his own merit. But you may be saved by repentance of your sins and belief in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is simple as that, for salvation is the gift of God without price and without cost.
To receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is to receive the eternal life.
