Gen 28:12 ”And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father….”
Heaven is for many something very abstract and far away. Few people have ever been able to peek into and get a glimpse of Heaven. The truth is that you have to be 100% pure and free from sin to enter therein. And since there is NO ONE that is pure or righteous, no one has ever had access into it.
Jakob had a dream when he saw a ladder from heaven to earth, and God standing at the top of the ladder. He might got a little peek very far away into heaven, behind God who was standing in the gate.
The ladder is telling us something. Since we cannot come up to heaven, God would come down and bring heaven to us. God came down the ladder, and walked among us. Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. He is God who came down the ladder. His message was, the Kingdom of God is near. It was as near as he was. He was the gate. He said I AM the door. He said that no one could come to the father, but through him. He brought the Kingdom DOWN, and invited us to enter in through him, that was the door.
When you find Jesus, and enter in through him, you will experience HEAVEN on earth. Every time we enter into the Kingdom of God, whether through prayer, worship or the word, we are entering into a heavenly atmosphere and heavenly environment. And the best part is this. If you have Jesus when you die, you have the door, and you have access into Heaven.
