Awakening Ministries has been called by God to ENCOURAGE,
EDUCATE and CHALLENGE each
and every Bible believing Christian to strive for a closer walk with our
Personal Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that part of this process is
to seek knowledge through the study of God's Word. Yes Brother's and Sister's
in Christ... There are many...
Inside The
Vehicles
Genesis
A Divine Abduction
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God
took him.
"Enoch walked with God
" is a simple statement and seems to mean what it says.
"God took him" is more complicated. It is the first of
such incidences and shows that God does take on passengers from time to
time.
Exodus
Moses Entered The Vehicle
24:18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and
gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and
forty nights.
Moses
goes up to the craft that is covering the mountain and enters it. Though
not the only instance of men entering this craft, it is the first thus
lending more credence to the physical aspects of the craft since it will
accommodate humans.

Samuel
Jehovah Takes Samuel
22:17
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many
waters; 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them
that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 19 They prevented
me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. 20 He
brought me forth also into a large place:, because he delighted in me.
Jehovah rescues Samuel by taking him from the sky and delivered
him back down in an open space away from his enemies. See
PSALMS 18:16
2 Kings
Elijah Taken Up In A Spinning Object
2:1 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah
into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Elijah is taken up into the sky by a flying craft here described as a
spinning. Though Moses was first to enter the craft Elijah is
taken into it as it flies. As first described in Num. 12:10 the craft is
revolving or spinning.
Psalms
Aerial Rescue Mission
18:16 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them, which hated
me: for they were too strong for me. 18 They prevented me in the
day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. 19 He
brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.
This
is another case of Jehovah taking a man from one location to a point
elsewhere via aerial transport. See 2 SAMUEL 22:17
Aerial Deliverance
57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of
him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and
his truth.
Elohiym
will descend from the sky and free him. Save = to free.
Ezekiel
Ezekiel Ascends
11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east
gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door
of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of
Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Ezekiel is lifted and transported.
Ezekiel Ascends
32:3 Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my
net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee
up in my net. 4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will
cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the
heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole
earth with thee.
Bring
thee up = ascend.
Spirit Carries Ezekiel
37:1 The hand of the
LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set
me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
Ezekiel is being transported to a valley. "Out" is
added.
Ezekiel Ascends
43:5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner
court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.
Ezekiel is lifted and transported.
Luke
Men Enter The Cloud
9:34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and
overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, this is my
beloved Son: hear him. 36 And when the voice was past, Jesus
was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days
any of those things, which they had seen.
The
probable cause for the change in Christ's appearance is illumination
from this vehicle.
Acts
Jesus Is Taken Up
1:2 Until the day in which he was taken
up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the
apostles whom he had chosen.
Jesus
ascends into the sky.
Jesus Is Taken Up Into A Cloud
1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they
beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Jesus
is taken up into the bottom of a cloud and they lost sight of him.
Jesus Was Taken Up
1:22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he
was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of
his resurrection.
This
is a reference to the ascension of Jesus into the sky.
Spirit Seizes And Transports Phillip
8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the
Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on
his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and
passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Phillip
suddenly disappears only to reappear later. He is said to have
been seized by the spirit but nothing more specific. If this is
not an unusual incident, was he beamed up into one of the vehicles?

Corinthians
The Third Sky
12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in
the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God
knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
Paul
speaks of a man being seized and taken up into the third sky.
Ascend To Paradise
12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable
words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Paul
speaks of a man being seized and taken up into the paradise.

Thessalonians
Meet Jesus In The Clouds In The Air
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with the Lord.
People will be taken up into the clouds in the air.
Revelations
Witnesses Ascend Into The Sky
11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of
life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great
voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up
to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
The two witnesses after being resurrected hear a great voice from the
sky and ascend into the sky in a cloud
