When Heaven Opens: Part 3

Heaven doesn’t “open” in Scripture for small talk. When God pulls back the curtain, He moves history forward and He confronts the human heart. I’m Brother James, and this broadcast follows our series on the times in the Bible when heaven is opened, landing on one of the most life changing scenes in Acts 10: Peter on the housetop, the great sheet lowered from heaven, and the command that shatters old categories of clean and unclean.We walk through what God intends by Peter’s vision and what it means for the church, the gospel, and salvation by grace. The message to Peter is a message to us: God purifies by faith in Jesus Christ, not by ceremony, heritage, or human labels. The cross ends the old wall between Jew and Gentile, and the church becomes a people gathered from every nation with a heavenly origin and a heavenly destiny.Then we turn to the next opened heaven scene in Revelation 19. John sees the white horse and the Rider called Faithful and True, crowned with many crowns, judging in righteousness with eyes like a flame of fire. We talk about the robe dipped in blood as testimony that Christ already won the decisive victory at Calvary and will return to claim what He purchased. The broadcast ends where prophecy always should end: with a direct, urgent question of whether you have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and are ready to meet Him.Subscribe for weekday Bible preaching, share this with someone who needs clarity on Acts 10 or the second coming of Jesus Christ, and leave a review that tells us what line challenged you most.Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.comMinistry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermonsSermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLandWeb Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org
