"The Creator In Heaven Is Definitely In Control"


"God has the whole world in his hands".  He is the Almighty God Creator of Heaven and of Earth.  Heaven was always thought to be beyond the reaches of earth. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Anointed Messiah ascended into heaven (Mark 16:19) and "sat down at the right hand of God".  In the Old Testament, the great prophet Elijah was taken by a "whirl wind to heaven..." (II king 2:1).

Throughout the ancient world the high place was the abode of God or the gods.  The Psalmist writes, "I will lift  up my eyes to the mountains; from where my help comes". (121:1).

In Genesis 6, God prepares to blot out his creation when he "saw that wickedness of man was great on the earth."

The promises of heaven has served believers for centuries as an eternal hope, especially when times are desperate.  Whether an actual "place", a state of the mind, or some notion of a parallel universe, heaven continues to reflect a worthy goal for many questioning the afterlife.

"God watches over his children, even when they think they are alone, he said I will never leave you nor forsake you, God has the whole world in his HAND".
