If you think with your 'carnal' fleshy mind, you likely won't understand this. This matter is a Biblical truth that many are completely deceived about, even though God's Word points to it in various Bible Scriptures, while Satan's servants here on earth spend much time keeping the majority in the Church blind about it.
Lord Jesus warned us about the coming of a pseudo-Christ first that will work supernatural signs and wonders, that IF... it were possible, would deceive even His very elect. (Matthew 24:23-26 with Greek pseudochristos). This specific warning Jesus gave the Church in those Matthew 24 verses is confirmed by Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2 about the "man of sin", and in 2 Corinthians 11 about the "another Jesus", and by Apostle John in Revelation 13 about the "another beast" that will appear 'like' a lamb, but will speak as a dragon (another title for Satan per Rev.12:9).
In Revelation 17:8, we are shown about the 'beast' of Rev.13:11, as he is said to ascend out of the bottomless pit, and goes into perdition! Does any flesh Antichrist ascend out of that bottomless pit? No! of course not! Satan is who is the angel of that bottomless pit per Revelation 9. That's about the pit of hell. And so far today, ONLY Satan and his angels are already judged and sentenced to perdition in the future "lake of fire"; no flesh born man has been judged to that fire yet, not even Judas Iscariot. Again in Revelation 11:7, it shows that beast which will ascend out of the bottomless pit is who kills God's two witnesses in Jerusalem at the end of this world. Who might that be that ascends out of that bottomless pit? The bogey man? The Swartz? NO! It will be Satan himself, the "another beast" of Rev.13:11 that will work miracles upon this earth at the end, deceiving the whole world, except who? (Rev.13:4-8)
So... do you believe there is another dimension that exists behind a symbolic veil that we here on earth cannot see? Do you believe angels from that other dimension are real? After all, God's Word tells us about angels that have appeared on earth to flesh-born men. God's Word even reveals Scripture of how angels have eaten man's food prepared for them (Genesis 18 & 19). And Hebrews 13:2 admonishes us to be mindful to entertain strangers, because some have entertained angels and were not aware of it (which reveals those angels had the image of man).
Apostle Paul revealed we have another body from God, eternal in the heavens, per 2 Corinthians 5. Paul even said to be absent from the body (flesh) is to be present with The Lord. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul showed on the "last trump", those of us still alive in the flesh on earth when Jesus returns will be changed suddenly, at the twinkling of an eye, to our "spiritual body".
So which type of body is actually the more authentic existence? Our flesh body, which is temporary, and is to return back to the dust of the earth when it dies, or cast off at the "last trump"? Or is our "spiritual body" from God the more REAL existence, which means of the heavenly dimension?
Oh... boy! how many are confused about that "spiritual body" existence and the heavenly dimension. All kinds of imaginations have dreamed up living in a Utopia in outer space or upon a cloud somewhere in the sky! All one need do is look at some of those sci-fi movies on Netflix and pick one. Yet none of those cover what God's Word reveals about the future world to come with that heavenly dimension, which will be manifested right here, on earth, in the same time and space.
Did you not know brethren in Christ, that The Father Himself, the whole Godhead, once dwelt upon this earth, literally? God's promise to dwell forever at Jerusalem on earth is not some ghost fantasy like some think because they don't understand that The Father has the image of man also (see Daniel 7:9 and Daniel 7:13).
Now Hebrews 11:3 reveals that God created this material universe via Spirit, His Spirit. That single Hebrews 11:3 reveals that material matter did not create itself, and even modern science knows that material matter can neither be created nor destroyed by man, but only change its state (liquid, solid, vapor, gas). That means something other than material matter had to have create the material universe. Which dimension then, does make the more REAL? That dimension of Spirit where God and the angels dwell is the more REAL dimension, as it has always existed with GOD, Eternally.
What then is this fleshy existence we are in today?
And "so sorri" Charlie Chan, this flesh existence of this 2nd world earth age today is soon to perish, forever. It will happen when Lord Jesus Christ returns on the "last trump". What will be left of our existence? We will exist in a spirit body, something you already have as Apostle Paul showed in 2 Corinthians 5! Your flesh body will simply be cast off, if you are still alive on earth for the day of Christ's future return. Everyone will be in that future spirit body once Jesus returns, even the wicked will have their own resurrection when Jesus returns (John 5:28-29).
Today we are ever closer to that time when our flesh will be cast off, and our spirit body is revealed in that other dimension, which is how Jesus Christ will gather His faithful Church when He returns in the near future. Are we going to live up in the sky with Him when that happens? No, of course not. Zechariah 14 reveals He brings all His saints with Him to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem where His feet are said to touch down. Per Acts 1, the Mount of Olives is where Jesus ascended to Heaven from, in view of His Apostles. That's where He will return when He comes, as written.
How then, will the heavenly manifest upon this earth in that future world? I don't think any man today has figured that out, only GOD knows the science behind that. But God has shown us some hints about it in His Word. Three men appeared suddenly out of nowhere to Abraham at his tent door (Genesis 18). And one of the three men was Lord Jesus who stayed talking with Abraham while the other two men went to Lot and his family in Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). In both places, one with Abraham, and the other with Lot, food was prepared for those "three men" (which were in the angelic state). And they did eat. Also, who remembers that the Israelites in the wilderness ate "manna" rained down from Heaven? (Exodus 16)
If one listens to the atheistic, fleshy minds out there, they'll have you believing that none of those above heavenly dimension events written in God's Word ever happened, that they are just symbolic of some other materialistic event. The minds of those are no more developed than an ape, which they believe they originated from.
It's time brethren in Christ, to start thinking about that other dimension of the heavenly, and it being manifested in plain sight upon this earth to all. We are getting ready to see some truly marvelous and miraculous events upon this earth in this final generation that will see Christ's return.
