Description
Acts 1:6-126. So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7. He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
8. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
9. After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
11. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
12. Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.

I love this picture! May I use it to illustrate Luke 24:51 "And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven." ? I am preparing study guides to help a group of Seventh-day Adventist youth learn and memorize the book of Luke in 2018. The study guides, when finished, will be available for no charge at www.readyanswers.org Thank you for your consideration. Shelley Houser

You just have wonderful drawings. I really love them. I love the WORD of GOD, as much as I love JESUS. The Bible is full of true and wonderful storys. Everything in the Bible is true.

And, one day, He will come back and take us home. The question is...Are you ready?
He will come down in the clouds, and step on the Mount of Olives, and it will split in two. He will then head to Jerusalem to set up his Kingdom, not as the guy riding on a donkey, but as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Many people have tried, and failed to predict when Christ will return back. That's how cults lure people into their evil webs of lies and deceit. Again, as Christ warned his disciples (and us) in Matthew 24 about false prophets and we don't know God's time table on these things. We have the signs of the times, and they are right on times. Read your newspapers and it screams, wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, natural disasters in various (diverse) places.
One day, every nation will bow before the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and we will be judged. If we are faithful and truly saved, and know Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you can rest assured when Christ judges your heart, you will hear "Well done, my faithful servant." Sadly, if you don't repent and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you wil be sentenced to eternal seperation in a real place called Hell, where the Devil, the false prophet, and the fallen angels, as well as everyone in history who has ever done evil (Hitler, etc) will burn in a Lake of fire, where there will be "weeping and gnashing of teeth."

... Speaking of wishful thinking --- what a cool time for today's disciples & apostles --- we're likely to be here to see His promised return --- "...in the like manner, coming in the clouds"...
... Maranatha !
