Luke 11:52 The key of knowledge

 

⁵² Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

The Fullness of the Gospel, or the deeper spiritual knowledge, is an important Key to know how to enter into Heaven permanently rather than only temporarily. Many of those people who are on their way to hell or only going into heaven temporarily will hinder those who are wanting to enter into Heaven permanently. 

Luke 11:50-51 Blood required of this generation

⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

⁵¹ From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. -Luke 11:50-51 Bible, King James Version (KJV)

[19] In Luke: The blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world shall be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, slain between the altar and the temple (Luke11:50-51 ). This does not mean that the blood of all the prophets from the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel, shall be required of the Jewish nation, for blood is not required from anyone but of him who sheds it; but these words mean that that nation had falsified all truth and adulterated all good; for "the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world" signifies the falsification of all the truth there had ever been in the church; "blood" meaning falsification, "prophets" the truths of doctrine, and "from the foundation of the world," meaning all that there had ever been in the church; "the foundation of the world" meaning the establishment of the church. "From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, slain between the altar and the temple," signifies the adulteration of all good, and the consequent extinction of the worship of the Lord; "the blood of Abel unto Zachariah" means the adulteration of all good; "to be slain between the altar and the temple" means the extinction of all good and all truth in worship, for "altar" signifies worship from good, and "temple" the worship from truth, as has been said above; "between these" means where there is conjunction, and where there is not conjunction there is neither good nor truth. The altar was outside the tent of meeting, and outside the temple; therefore what was done between the two signified communication and conjunction (see Arcana Coelestia, n. 10001, 10025; and that "Abel" signifies the good of charity, n. 342, 374, 1179, 3325). It is evident that neither Abel nor Zachariah is meant here in the spiritual sense, since in the Word names signify things.

Luke 11:49 God will send them prophets

⁴⁹Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: -Luke 11:49 Bible, King James Version

As time passes by God sends His prophets and Masters to teach us according to our readiness to receive the Truth. The New Testament represents greater Light and Knowledge than the Old Testament. The Jews who follow only the Old Testament prophets miss out on the greater blessings received by following the New Testament Prophet and Ascended Master Jesus. In our day and age orthodox Christians make the same mistake by rejecting the Greater Light and Knowedge of the Masters Who came after Jesus such as the Ascended Master Saint Germain Who attained the Ascension in the year 1684.

Luke 13:26-27 Importance of living the Gospel

²⁶ Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. ²⁷ But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. -Luke 13:26-27 King James Version (KJV)

...[18] In Luke: They shall begin to say, We did eat before Thee and drink before Thee, and Thou didst teach in our streets. But He shall say, I know you not whence ye are; depart, ye workers of iniquity (13:26, 27). Their saying, when presented for judgment, that they "ate and drank before the Lord," signifies that they had read the Word and drawn from it the knowledges of good and truth, supposing that this would save them; therefore it follows, "Thou didst teach in our streets," which signified that they had been instructed in truths from the Word, thus by the Lord. But that reading the Word and being instructed from it is of no avail for salvation, without at the same time a life according to it, is signified by the answer, "He shall say, I know you not whence ye are; depart from Me, ye workers of iniquity;" for it is of no avail for salvation to enrich the memory from the Word and from the doctrinals of the church, unless they are committed to life.

Luke 13:25 Will heaven's door be shut when full?

25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: -Luke 13:25King James Version (KJV)

Is the door to heaven shut to everyone when it is full or only to those who are not worthy to enter?

Heaven and Hell, by Emanuel Swedenborg, [1758], tr. by John C. Ager [1900] at sacred-texts.com

...Moreover, every society of heaven increases in number daily, and as it increases it becomes more perfect. Thus not only the society becomes more perfect, but also heaven in general, because it is made up of societies. As heaven gains in perfection by increase of numbers, it is evident how mistaken those are who believe that heaven may be closed by becoming full; for the opposite is true, that it will never be closed, but is perfected by greater and greater fullness. Therefore, the angels desire nothing so much as to have new angel guests come to them.

Luke 13:22-24,28 Are there few that be saved?

 

²²And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. ²³Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, ²⁴Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. ²⁸There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. -Luke 13:22-24, 28 -Bible, King James Version

Many Christians believe that all they have to do to be saved in the Kingdom of Heaven is to believe in Jesus therefore when they pass over to the Spirit World they will be surprised to find that they do not have access to Heaven even if they have done many wonderful works in the Name of Jesus. Nevertheless, in the afterlife they can be taught how to enter into Heaven on a temporary basis until their re-embodiment which gives them another opportunity to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven on a permanent basis by attaining the Ascension. This is supported by the teachings of Jesus to his disciples, after his Resurrection, in the Books of the Saviour. Jesus’ disciples ask him what will happen to a righteous man who hasn’t received the mysteries of the Light when he goes forth out of the body. Jesus teaches them that; "the Virgin of Light… letteth it be cast down into the body… which will be good to find the… mysteries of the Light and inherit the Light-kingdom for ever. …It is impossible to bring souls into the Light without the mysteries of the Light-kingdom. …Search ever and cease not until ye find the mysteries of the Light which will lead you into the Light-kingdom. ...Beware of the doctrines of error. For many will come in my name… and they will lead many astray." (Pistis Sophia by G.R.S. Mead p220, 234)

To give us a clearer idea of how few people have been able to find the Path to Eternal Life and gain the Ascension for thousands of years up until the 1930s, the Ascended Masters teach that; "Only one person a year out of three and a half billions of people on this earth ever attained his Ascension." (The Voice of the I AM, 1940 April p36)


Beloved Mighty Helios teaches: "If you do not come Our Way, then you go the other way, for there is no such thing as standing still!... Unless you use This Fiery Love from your "Beloved I AM Presence" and from Our Octave, the only other place you can go in the Universe, is to annihilation. You have your choice today! You either enter into the Fiery Love of My Heart, have your Freedom and become the Saviours of your Nation and the World; or you go with the destructive forces into annihilation. Make your choice!... The hour of decision is at hand, and you either come to Our Perfection, or you turn your backs upon It, you go the way of the sinister force, which is annihilation... Individuals who will not face This Great Love to Life to Which We call you, wherein abides only Eternal Happiness, Freedom and Boundless Perfection- individuals who will not come Our Way at this time, must face the frightful suffering of their own creation; and because they are unawakened and unlearned concerning the Law, their suffering will be terrible!" ('The Voice of the I AM' 1949 April p28-29)

 

Luke 11:42 The Love of God

                               sacred-heart-of-jesus

⁴² But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe... and pass over... the love of God... -Luke 11:42 Bible, King James Version

There will be many Christians who think that following the basic principles of their church such as tithing is the way to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Saint Paul teaches us: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, [or Heavenly Love] it profiteth me nothing." -1 Corinthians 13:3 There is nothing more important than learning to fill our bodies permanently with the Heavenly Love of God by opening up our Heart chakra.


ARCANA COELESTIA by Emanuel Swedenborg

(Published in London 1749 through 1756)

AC 32.  …[2] The Most Ancient Church [AC 281 which was celestial AC597 before the flood] acknowledged no other faith than love itself. The celestial angels also do not know what faith is except that which is of love. The universal heaven is a heaven of love, for there is no other life in the heavens than the life of love. From this is derived all heavenly happiness, which is so great that nothing of it admits of description, nor can ever be conceived by any human idea. Those who are under the influence of love, love the Lord from the heart, but yet know, declare, and perceive, that all love, and consequently all life -which is of love alone- and thus all happiness, come solely from the Lord, and that they have not the least of love, of life, or of happiness, from themselves…
