[127]. A Message From A Poem – Heaven’ S Door Will Open To Us
Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 11, 2025 (message contributor)
[127]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – HEAVEN’ S DOOR WILL OPEN TO US
This poem connects with 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 – {{1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 “FOR THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”}}
That event is close we believe, and is called the Rapture, the coming of the Lord, the Lord coming for His Church.
The door of heaven will open and the Lord will DESCEND to collect His Bride. It is the same event and time contained exactly in this verse too – {{Revelation 4:1 “After these things I looked, and behold, A DOOR STANDING OPEN IN HEAVEN, and the first voice which I had heard like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me said, “COME UP HERE, and I will show you what must take place after these things.”}}
I believe (my opinion) that when the Lord comes for His Church, His Body, to rapture it, these are the very words He will use – COME UP HERE!
{{John 14:3 “and if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF that where I am, there you may be also,”}}
This is a victory poem!
==============================================================
HEAVEN’ S DOOR WILL OPEN TO US
Let the door of heaven open;
Let the Saviour’s voice be heard;
Let the trumpet sound its calling;
We are waiting for the word.
============================
“Come up here!” will be our summons.
“Come up here!” He calls the Bride.
“Come to ME My glorious one,
You for whom I wept and died!”
============================
Who can comprehend those gathered?
Who can contemplate such bliss?
Christ Jesus snatches up His own; (The Lord will snatch up all His own)
Not one redeemed, will He miss.
============================
Hear the voice of the archangel!
Hear that trumpet call for you!
In an instant; in a moment -
There’s no waiting in a queue.
============================
Heaven’ glory bursts upon us;
Heaven’s centre is the Lamb.
Heaven’s beauty centres ‘round Him;
He the Lord, the Great I AM.
============================
Light and truth will be resplendent.
Light and Truth - that my Lord is.
Light illumines ev’ry facet,
Shows the splendour that is His.
============================
Praise resounds from ev’ry quarter.
Praise will rise from the redeemed.
Angels likewise see His glory
In the Church His blood has cleaned.
============================
Evermore rejoice in Jesus;
Evermore to share His love.
O, melt our hearts in gratitude,
And our thoughts transport above.
============================
