The Lord impressed upon Jeannette and I that we should share with other believers the three heavenly visitations Jeannette has had recently. It is a neat package of three prophetic words, each promoting a spiritual concept which when linked together is meant to encourage the body of Christ to stay the course and remain patient for a few more moments of time, for our Lord is about to come for us. Thank God for this last visitation because the first two messages were somewhat disquieting. In contrast, the last visitation brought into view a vision of myriads of people, believers 'Bound For Heaven,' hallelujah, for she saw a swift, seizing of the hands that were reaching out to Jesus. Jeannette commented to me that there was a swooshing sound when the hands disappeared. Is not that similar to how Elijah departed?

2 Kings 2:11 11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

The hands symbolize the unnumbered millions who are yearning and seeking after God. They represent the great harvest of souls at this end time, people who are eagerly awaiting our Lord's gathering of His bride to Himself. Jesus' heart of love appeared beating vigorously, pumping His 'zoe' [Greek word for] life into the persons connected to His life-giving power. In Scripture, 'zoe' is the highest form of life with undertones of holiness and righteousness. 'Zoe' does not explore the expanses of God's unlimited ability, but rather plumbs the depths of God for meaning.

Romans 11:33-35
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

Yet,

1 Corinthians 2:10
10 …God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

And,

2 Corinthians 4:6-7
6 …God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Furthermore,

7 …we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Being the source of all things, God's life is eternal, without beginning or ending. He is an ever present 'now' God. Because men have limitations, they could never know God's boundless heart of love and nor His great desire to have a family with whom He could fellowship apart from revelation knowledge supernaturally given. The New Testament is that revelation and was given to the churches for this purpose. In it, we learn that God sent His Son to reveal His Father-heart. Jesus was and is "…the brightness of His glory and the express image of his person…" [Hebrews 1:3]. He showed us the Father-God image so that we might dare to have fellowship in a familial relationship with The Almighty God who is beyond comprehension. Men can understand family relationships – parents and children – but how could they ever dream of fellowshipping with omnipotence?

Because Jesus was the Son of God, He had this 'zoe' life in Himself. "For as the Father hath life ['zoe' eternal life] in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself" [John 5:26]. And the Son gives this life to whomsoever will accept Him as their Lord. When this happens, a person is born a new creation in Christ Jesus [2 Corinthians 5:17] and partakes of Jesus' eternal life through the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, who is given to the believer as the earnest of his eternal inheritance in God's family. Being the energizer and power source of God, it is vital to protect that connection "…and grieve not the Holy Spirit by which ye are sealed unto the day of redemption" [Ephesians 4:30].

Mark 3:28-29
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

This danger of eternal damnation is because the Holy Spirit is the connector to Jesus. When the connection is cut, the supply line to life is severed. 1 Hence, to show contempt toward the Holy Spirit is extremely perilous.

"When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory" [Colossians 3:4]. As Jesus comes into view in the vision, His heart is symbolically pumping His life into His brethren via His shed blood now placed in the heavenly temple and continuously available for cleansing from sin [1 John 1:7-9]. These people are connected to Jesus, for she saw them ascend and disappear into the light emanating from Him to become one with Him. Did not Jesus say He was the light of life? "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" [John 8:12]. This is the zoe life of God that empowers the universe. Indications from Scripture suggest that we will not have blood flowing through our bodies as the source of eternal life, for Jesus called His resurrected spiritual body a new creation of "flesh and bones" instead of flesh and blood [Luke 24:39]. Light will perhaps be the empowering source to preserve us throughout eternity and cause us to become radiant and glowing. This seemed to be Adam and Eve's covering in the garden before they sinned.

The importance of being connected to Jesus who is the source of life was discussed in the vision entitled 'The Meteor .' No person can enter into heaven without this connection, which is by faith in Jesus' substitutionary blood that He shed for all humanity: "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation" [2 Corinthians 5:19]. Having done the work of reconciling all things back to God, Jesus is now ready to receive anyone who will accept His blood as payment for their sins. Make no mistake, even though Jesus has successfully defended God's honor and integrity, and even though Jesus' substitutionary death propitiated (or satisfied) God, each person must make a decision for himself or herself to accept Jesus' payment for his or her sins and iniquities. The gift is freely given and is available, but it must be received.

John 1:12-13
12 But as many as received him, [as Lord and Savior] to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Receiving Jesus as Lord is believing what the Bible tells us about Him.

John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, [because he is not connected to the source of life] because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Since the heart of man is the central or core organ sustaining life, Jesus' beating heart in the vision depicts Him as the source of life and our connection to heaven. Anyone born anew in Christ Jesus is drawn to the heart love of God and light of life, Jesus, and has a brilliant future awaiting them in heaven – 'Behold your future.' Therefore, anyone who is 'bound' for heaven must have a 'bond' to heaven. The vision also emphasized that as believers in Christ, we have a future destiny of being snatched out of this world before God's wrath is poured out upon it. This last vision caps off the other two which were forewarnings that the "HOUR of temptation which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth" [Revelation 3:10], is near at hand.
