The Bible Story of the Ascension of Jesus, found in the first chapter of Acts, describes the ascent of Christ from the Earth to the Heavenly realm. That's what the rom 10:9-10 Christians will do. You have to be a believer. Unbelievers go to an everlasting lake of fire. That is 1 very unwelcome place. As unbelievers are on earth, they're justifying their unbelief; all for nought. I appreciate the 225 women who showed we don't belong together. We get saved & serve Jesus as a community of Christians. According to Acts, the ascension of Jesus takes place 40 days after the resurrection in the presence of his disciples.  Jesus will return & recruit His followers. At the Judgment seat, we will be held accountable for our right & wrongdoings. We will receive our just reward. The more holy you were on earth is rewarded by riches & jewels incorruptably in heaven. Self denial pays off. Jeff Gordon said instead of partying & hanging out with his friends, he was at the track, practicing. He was the best. Christ is risen up after advising them to stay in Jerusalem until the arrival of the Holy Spirit. Jesus will retrun to earth to call us up. Imagine the line. The populace is on the path of destruction. 225 f rejected me. 3 dated me. That proportion is similar to the proportion going to heaven. 1988, i learned my great papa owned my city, Winder, Ga. I determined to let NOBODY know bc i wanted to be popular on mty own. His son, Papa, died not too long ago. As Jesus raises, a cloud obscures him from their view, and two men in white arrive to tell them that he will return "in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."  Jesus will appear in the eastern skies. Anticipate that. 15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.  16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,  17Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.  18And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

 19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 11:15-19 KJV


15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
   “The kingdom of the world has become
   the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
   and he will reign for ever and ever.”

 16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:

   “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
   the One who is and who was,because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.
18 The nations were angry,
   and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
   and for rewarding your servants the prophets
and your people who revere your name,
   both great and small— and for destroying those who destroy the earth.” In Christian doctrine, the ascension is correlated with the deification of Jesus, meaning that through his ascension, Jesus took his seat at the right hand of God. he doctrine of deification asserts that man’s true greatness is to be found in the fact that he is “called to be god.” It emphasizes that the human person realizes his true existence in the measure in which he is raised up toward God and united with Him. Its basis is found in the words of the Apostle Peter:  “[Christ Jesus] has bestowed on us the precious and very great promises, so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature, after escaping from the corruption that is in the world.”[1]  This seems to be supported centuries later by Thomas Aquinas who stated, “The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.” "He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty." And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. After Christ ascended into heaven, Christ sat down at the " Right Hand of God. " The apostles taught this throughout the New Testament. This can also be found in the Old Testament and is a part of the Old Testament prophesies concerning the messiah. The teaching that Christ sat down at the " Right Hand of God " shows that Christ is our judge, priest, and advocate between God and man.
