I've been thinking about this a lot.
Is there anyone in heaven right now or are they waiting until Christ's return?
I hear people say "they are looking down on me from above" and "so and so is in heaven now" but I dont think I agree.
The way I have read Scripture is that there are few, if any, besides Christ, that are in Heaven.
"For this we declare to you by the word of The Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of The Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.For The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17).
What do you think??
