And as Jesus Christ is the Divine Truth incarnate, all who do good by the truth will go to heaven. As for different heavens, Jesus said that in His father's house there are many mansions, and Paul also said he was caught up to the third heaven showing that heaven has several levels or degrees. Also the epistles of Peter speak of how Jesus preached to those in prison between the time of his death and resurrection in order to take them to heaven. No one is going to be condemned for their lack of knowledge, but all will be judged according to how they lived their life.

Its 5 hours long. I happened to stop around 2:13 where he says "I wanted to know, but was not allowed to know." So some things were explained to Richard Sigmund's understanding, and the things that were not explained are explained further in the revelations of Emanuel Swedenborg.Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-19784086866289226582018-10-30T21:36:59.865-04:002018-10-30T21:36:59.865-04:00Well interesting.

And unfortunately the audio recordings from his book has been removed.<br /><br />First, there is a misconception that there will be a physical rapture of the body and we will go up into the sky. This is a literalist interpretation of scripture. One is "caught up" into heaven in a heavenly vision, and this I explain in detail here: <a href="http://dream-prophecy.blogspot.com/2017/03/is-second-coming-physical-event-or.html" rel="nofollow">Is the Second Coming a Physical Event or Spiritual Event?</a>. If you dont want to read the whole thing, here is an excerpt:<br /><br />" from the letter of Paul he mentions that those who are alive and remain will be "caught up" and from this Greek word we have the word "rapture." There are two interpretations of this. It can indeed mean a sudden physical transportation, as in the case of Philip:<br /><br />And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:39-40)<br />The word "caught away" is the same as "caught up" in 1 Thes. 4:7 where we get the term rapture. So from this, many assume there will be an actual physical ascension into the sky. However there is another, perhaps more interesting interpretation. The same word is used by Paul in a completely different context:<br /><br />I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. (2 Cor. 12:2-4)<br /><br />Some surmise Paul had this near death experience when he nearly died from being stoned to death. The word "caught up" or "rapture" is used twice in this verse. Here it does not refer to a physical ascension, but rather the rapture is to be caught up or enraptured in a spiritual visionary state."Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-68200847764825280022018-10-30T06:33:15.231-04:002018-10-30T06:33:15.231-04:00I listened to a short video where he said that Jes...I listened to a short video where he said that Jesus told him that he would still be alive when the rapture happens, we know that he died in 2010, how do you answer that? son of encouragementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420841695356941920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-83912317153448543282015-01-28T22:16:50.847-05:002015-01-28T22:16:50.847-05:00One interesting thing about Richard Sigmund's ...One interesting thing about Richard Sigmund's experience is that he saw the Lord present with everyone in heaven, all at once, and yet leading each individual according to that person's need. Swedenborg also saw that the Lord was personally omnipresent with angels and men in heaven:<br /><br />"That the Lord speaks in person with many, and with each one specifically or in particular, according to everyone's mind; yea at the same time [does] so to many, this is the truth. It seemed to me that I perceived it. This is a heavenly truth. Although no man can perceive by any reasoning, that such is the case, yet it is a consequence of his omnipresence with everyone: and from His Divine auspices with everyone in the world."
