Yes, glad to see you back.

 

[Timothew]

Yes, glad to see you back.

Thanks, I didn't want to give up on this thread.

The New Testament in greek is incredible, I wish I could encourage everyone to read it in the original language. Considering how little work it is to learn greek, most Christians should just learn it. It took me about an hour a day for 3 years to get a basic handle on most of it, that's not really a lot of time.

Matthew 10:6

απολωλοτα to lose, cause to be lost: principally by wandering off, but also through annihilation or perishing— but is not by necessity beyond recovery (i.e. a sheep lost but may be found) see also:
1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. (25) For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Matthew 10:7

πορευομενοι δε κηρυσσετε λεγοντες οτι ηγγικεν η βασιλεια των ουρανων

go and preach say that near the kingdom the skies

As you go and preach say, "the kindgom of the skies is near."

οὐρανός,
air, heaven, sky.
Perhaps from the same as oros (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension, heaven (as the abode of God); by implication, happiness, power, eternity; specially, the Gospel (Christianity) -- air, heaven(-ly), sky.

Do we get to have snacks in heaven when we are dead? Pie in the sky when we die, by and by?
Or is the message of the bible slightly deeper than that?

Deeper because Matthew was the only one to use Kingdom of heaven as the same as Kingdom of God on earth. He understood that the heavenly Kingdom would be here on earth. "Thy Kingdom come...."

Mat 10:7 πορευομενοι δε κηρυσσετε λεγοντες οτι ηγγικεν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
As you go, proclaim, saying, ‘That the heavenly Kingdom is drawing near to!’

Birds also fly in the sky

Reve 19:17 And I saw one Messenger standing in the sun, and He cries out in great voice, saying to all the birds, the ones flying in mid-heaven, "hither! be ye being gathered! into the Supper of the Great God.
18 That Ye may be eating fleshes of kings......

So what is "heaven"?

I understand resurrection, being dead and then after that not being dead.
I understand eternal life, being alive and then after that never being dead.

But I don't understand "heaven".

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth containment of nations, with coheshion; the sea and the waves resounding; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for the anticipation we have of those things to be coming on the earth: for the powers of heavenly they shall be moved. And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a nimbus with power and great glory. Luk 21:25-27

νεφέλῃ nimbus n. aura; halo; resplendent reputation

 

[Timothew]

Thanks He-man.

I usually see νεφέλῃ translated as cloud. Apparently it has more in it than just "cloud"? Liddell and Scott says "also, a cloud or dense throng of men, birds, etc."

καὶ τότε ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν νεφέλῃ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς
Could it be that when we see the Son of Man coming with power and great glory, He will be with a dense throng of people - those He has resurrected to eternal life? It seems likely.
