I Ain't Climbing No Stairs!
By Mark Flippo
I have heard that in songs and preaching, but it just is not how it is going to happen. Be careful how you think we will be caught away. Get to know scriptures well. People know and teach from what they have heard and is with their understanding. Yes, we will be with Him at some point. Please do not look for a mansion up there. Jesus teaches us that we are His mansions.
Streets of Gold is a Metaphore. Gold is beaten until it gets to the pure stage, that is when it is clear Gold. Forgive me, it has taken a lot of years to begin to understand Revelation.
Revelation 1:1 KJV
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants' things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
It is all about Jesus. Everything in Revelation must be viewed through the eyes of Jesus. Just like the two witnesses are not people. They are the Spirit and the Word. When you become discouraged that is when the Spirit dies in you. The word can no longer work in you because your spiritual vision is dimmed. There is so much that God can show you through His Word. You just have to have a hungry heart. Be ready to relearn the scriptures you thought you knew! It is tough to admit you did not know as much as you thought.
