December 10, 2017 – Heaven is not a Place

Heaven is the event of union with God, which begins now. God will recreate the “heavens and the earth”.

The prophet prays for God to act, for God to return to his people in a definitive way. The light of Christ will conquer the darkness.

Jesus came in disguise, remains in our midst, and established a resistance movement called the Church.

We need to remain ready for Christ to return, because it will happen suddenly.
