The God of the Bible and the other Hebrew and Christian Scriptures is Elohim [pronounced el-lo-HEEM]. Within the singular majesty of Elohim are the persons of God the Father [whose name is Yahweh] , the Firstborn Son [commonly known today as Jesus the Messiah], and the Holy Spirit or Heavenly Mother [called Eloah]. And millions of other spirit children. Elohim is the Divine Family in Heaven. [ “The whole Family in Heaven is named for the Father.” Ephesians 3:14-15]
You are related to God – your spirit began as part of Elohim’s family. [ “We are the offspring of God.” Acts 17:29 “We are the children of God.” Romans 8:16 “You are my sons and daughters, says the Almighty.” 2nd Corinthians 6:18 ] If you desire, you may choose to live as part of that Divine family throughout eternity, to reign with God over the world. [ “I will give authority over the nations to them…these people will rule the nations….and sit with Me on My Throne” Revelation 2:26-27, 3:21” “They will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6 “We will rule with Him.” 2nd Timothy 1:12 ]
You can spiritually grow and become like God if you desire to. [ “When Christ returns we will be like Him.” 1st John 3:2 ] You can become an exalted son or daughter of Elohim – a heavenly king or queen – an eternal priest or priestess. [ “They are kings and priests for God, to rule the world.” Revelation 5:10 & 1:6 “You are gods. You are children of the Most High.” Psalm 82:6 & John 10:34 “You will be My kingdom of priests and My holy nation.” Exodus 19:6;1st Peter 2:9 ]
Not everyone is drawn to Elohim. Some people feel no attraction to the God of the Scriptures, and will never walk the Way that leads to the Kingdom of Heaven. Many will follow other gods. But you’re here, searching this information. Is it because you are simply curious? Or you can feel the pull – the drawing? If you feel the attraction, you’re invited to explore these pages and links to articles, and notice whether you feel called to follow this path or not.
You are completely free to choose. You aren’t forced to do anything. But if you do decide you want to be part of the Kingdom of Heaven there are instructions you’ll need to follow, and rules to obey. You have the opportunity to make a covenant with God, and begin the journey toward an exalted eternity; but the choice of whether to be in or out of the Heavenly Kingdom is totally up to you.
Jesus Christ [whose name in Aramaic was Yahshua] is your Example. He is the Firstborn Son [ “The Son was the Firstborn among many children” Romans 8:29 ] – your perfect Big Brother. He has led the way, making it possible for you to live forever as part of the Family in Heaven. He sacrificed Himself for your shortcomings, mistakes, and weaknesses. He arose from death so that you may live forever. You just have to believe in the Messiah, and trust Him, and follow His instructions.
This life is a time to prepare for eternity. It is a time for learning. There are angels [ “What are angels? They are spirits sent to serve those who are going to receive salvation.” Hebrews 1:14 ] to assist you in your journey through life. [And there are demons that create obstacles and challenges to frustrate you.]
You’re not alone in this path. The Holy Spirit will inspire your mind and heart to do the right thing. Your Heavenly Father wants you to succeed at this, and live as an heir in His Kingdom. Christ is hoping for you to do well, and rule with Him forever.
