The Last Day and Going to Heaven

Hey and welcome, hope you enjoyed the short video. This quick post is on Jesus and the Last Day! Jesus spoke of raising people from the dead, who believe in Him, and doing this on what He called “the last day.”

In the book of John in chapter six, Jesus repeated this “at the last day” phrase four times. The repetition of the phrase, points to the critical nature of the last day.

See the scriptures below:

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

These scriptures say so much, but in particular for this post, we’re interested in the phrase “the last day.” When Jesus told the thief on the cross that the thief would be with Him in paradise “today,” Jesus would have circumvented  “the last day.”

The last day refers to the last spiritual day of this age for mankind, which is the seventh day. It is during the millennial rulership of Jesus the Messiah that the Messiah will raise up the dead who are asleep in Him (who died believing in Him).

We’ll be sharing more about this in the future, for now praise the Lord through His Son Jesus the Messiah, and bless His Holy name. Also, blessings to you and we hope to see you again.
