Life and All the Host of Heaven

We live in a society that doesn’t understand something that is so simple to understand that even a child can understand it, yet most adults don’t. We are literally killing ourselves because of this misunderstanding.

The misunderstanding comes from the question that we all eventually have, “Where does life come from?” That question leads to,”Where does it go?” The simple answer is to the first question is, “From God,” so the simple answer to the other question is, “Back to God.”

Those two answers lead to yet another question, “What am I doing here now?” That question gets answered a lot of different ways.



If you work through the possible answers to that question, you might think about how many people have lived and died since people started living and dying. Why are you living, right now, as opposed to living back in cave man days? If you answer that, “It’s God’s Will,” then you are probably correct. That leads to yet another question, “Why is it God’s Will that I live now?”







Think about how long time really is.

We know from discovering dinosaur remains that dinosaurs really did live on this planet long ago. We also know that there was a time when nothing lived on this planet. That was quite a long time ago. Where were you back then? If you think that your “inner being/soul” was created when you were born, to live forever “with God,” then you just assume that you hadn’t come into being yet. If you do that though, you are not thinking about something that your religion leaves out of the Bible. God created everything, “in the beginning.” It’s quite a simple understanding from a rational perspective. Simply stated, “If you live “forever,” then you have been alive “forever.”


Imagine your existence without a physical body. What would it be like?
People have pondered this same question, and quite a few of them came to the conclusion that they would spend “forever” “with God,” in “Heaven.” That’s quite a big part of the misunderstanding mentioned above. Those people believe a lie, and the truly ironic part of that misunderstanding is that the ones who led them into that belief, used a book to do it, that warned them against believing it.

There’s no denying that Christians truly believe that when they die, they get to spend eternity with “God in Heaven.” There’s also no denying that they consider Jesus to be the “Lord of Heaven,” who they believe is currently “in Heaven, with God.”


To them, Jesus would be the “host of Heaven.”

We were warned against worshipping the “host of Heaven” in the Old Testament. We were also warned against worshipping the “Lord o Heaven,” “Baal,” in the Old Testament. Those who currently worship either, deny that the prophets told them to worship nothing, but God, “that which grants us life.” They deny it; because they want to continue believing what they have been told by those they trusted. Those they trusted should have been able to understand what they were doing, because they claim to be students of the Bible. The intentionally leave out things that they know are in there, like warnings about worshipping a “host of Heaven.” What is “Jesus,” if he’s not a “host of Heaven?” He is supposedly “hosting Heaven,” for us, just like Johnny Carson used to be the “host” of the Tonight Show.

The “host of Heaven,” is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, and once in the New Testament. There are 19 places where the term is used, and if you read them all with the understanding of what a “host” is, you will easily see that our behavior was predicted.

1. Deuteronomy 4:19

Christians aren’t the only ones who make the mistake in worshipping fallen heroes and/or prophets. The people of Islam look forward to their “host of Heaven,” Muhammad, who they believe is “in Heaven, with God.” In fact, all religions that don’t accept “reincarnation” as reality are in violation of the warnings given about worshipping “the host of Heaven.”
The bottom line is, we don’t “live in Heaven,” that’s where we go when we are absent of our physical bodies. We live on Earth, when we are blessed with a physical body in which to do so.

And that’s why it is necessary that we take care of our ability to return to Earth and live again, instead of trashing it like we are currently doing, like there is no tomorrow. Guess what, there is always going to be a tomorrow, regardless of whether or not our Earth is capable of letting us enjoy it.
