be a school master to lead his bride to approach the Throne of Grace. The heavenly temple of God Almighty, Jesus Christ had been destroyed but after three days he had built it again. The resurrected Jesus stepped out of his burial clothes leaving them behind. He had left his first seamless mantle behind at the cross of Glory.

  Now he had left his burial clothes behind in the tomb so that it would become a spiritual womb, a place of new birth. His mantles were left behind as symbols of victory to all his believers, who would pick them up by faith. To them that become intimately acquainted with Almighty God must know him in both his death and in his resurrection. Garments were always exchanged when a covenant was cut and the Lord Jesus Christ had made a divine exchange with all mankind when he cut covenant with them upon the cross of glory.

  He was exchanging their filthy sinful rags for the garments of righteousness. He took on himself every man-made and demonic devilish mantle that clothed itself on mankind. He exchanged it for his royal Kingly mantle of divinity. So whatever belongs to God now belongs to them and whatever belongs to them now belongs to Almighty God by exchanging garments at the cross and at the tomb.

  The resurrected Lamb of God walked straight out of the tomb as Michael and I stepped aside and made way for him to pass us by. Our heads were still looking into the tomb as our bodies were leaning together blocking the exit way. Our God given wings were entwined together as usual. We stepped out of his way just in time and watched him as he walked into the secret garden, holding in his right hand the keys of hell, death and the grave.

  Michael and I sat for a while in the garden upon the obsolete tomb stone of the Law that we had moments ago rolled away. It just lay aimlessly upon the ground in the middle of nowhere. Michael and I saw the two Mary’s come to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus as the Sabbath festivities had ended. They were surprised to find that the stone had been rolled away from the tombs entrance and the seal broken. They both looked into the tomb inquisitively, like Michael and I had just done moments earlier to find that his body was no longer there and only the burial clothes remained in the tomb.

  They both ran off with great haste. They returned a little while later with two of the disciples, Peter and John, the disciple whom Jesus loved deeply. Michael and I watched them as they one by one looked into the tomb only to see his burial clothes remaining. John believed that Jesus had been raised from the dead while Peter believed what the two Mary’s believed, that his body had been stolen. Their understanding had not yet been enlightened to the scripture that said he must rise again from the dead after three days.

  The disciples went away, back to their own homes. Michael and I had seen the return of those fearful Roman soldiers that had run to Jerusalem in terror return with the high priest and the chief priests. The soldiers who had guarded the tomb said anxiously to them, “Look and see for yourselves. His body is gone. We saw him walking away. He is alive and He has risen from the dead. The tomb was sealed tightly and besides we haven’t enough man power to roll that huge stone away.” We watched as the devious chief priests paid them large sums of money to say that Jesus’ disciples had come in the night and had stolen his body.

  Michael and I went and sat inside the tomb as we felt led by the Holy Spirit of God. I sat at the head and Michael at the feet where Jesus’ body had been laid. We faced one another with our wings touching and our faces looking down, exactly like our replicas in gold that appeared upon the mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant.

  Mary Magdalene stood outside the tomb and started weeping and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. Her spiritual eyes were suddenly opened and she saw Michael and I sitting in the tomb over looking where Jesus had been laid. Then I asked her gently, “Woman why are you weeping?” She said to me, “I am weeping because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.” Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw a man standing there and she did not know that it was Jesus. Michael and I both knew that it was Jesus, the Son of the living God.

  We had felt his presence before we had seen him appear. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She thought that he was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away and care for him by anointing his body.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” Immediately she recognised him and shouted out, “Teacher!” Then Jesus said unto her, “Do not hold me or cling to me for I have not yet ascended to My Father in heaven and have not been glorified. Go to my disciples and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and to your Father and to My God and to your God’” So Mary went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and he had spoken these things to her.

  Michael and I had returned to the throne room and hailed God Almighty at the top of our voices as we lay on our faces. Yes, our wing touching as usual as was the protocol. It had been a holy thing to see what our eyes had seen; the Lord Jesus Christ brought back to life again by God the Holy Spirit. Our hearts were full of joy as we shouted before our God, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. All power and might and dominion are yours forever and ever.” We remained on our faces and chanted all day with all our might.

  The rest of the heavenly angels joined in with us and the throne room echoed with our combined rejoicing. My heart had been violently ripped open with joy and jubilation as I hailed the Father of glory. The Lord Jesus Christ briefly entered the throne room of his heavenly Father to be glorified. He led those captives who were in paradise into the third heaven with him to join Enoch and Elijah. The Father crowned him as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We all shouted at the top of our voices, “Oh Lord God Almighty, great and marvellous are all your deeds and the works of your mighty hands. Just and true are your ways. We glorify your name for you alone are holy.” Jesus then departed through the gates that had been left wide open over the city of Jerusalem. The Father of glory lifted up his hands as a gesture and we all knew that it was time to keep silent again.

  The same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews. Jesus went straight through the wall and stood in the middle of them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them the wounds on his hands and on his side. His disciples recognised him by the eternal scars on his body and were glad when they knew that it was their Lord and master. Jesus again said to them, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” And when he had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit”

  One of the twelve disciples called Thomas was not with them when Jesus had appeared before them. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” Thomas known for his doubt and unbelief refused to believe the news. So he said to them, “Unless I see the nail prints in his hands and put my fingers into the prints of the nails and put my hand into his wounded side, I will not believe.” His faith was nowhere near as being in the same calibre as his ancient father, Abraham.

  After eight days his disciples were inside again and Thomas the doubter was with them. Jesus, due to having a glorified body entered the room again as he had the first time, straight through the walls. He stood in the midst of them and said, “Peace to you!” then he said to Thomas, “Stretch out your finger and look at my hands, and touch them. Then stretch out your hand and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving but believing.” And Thomas answered and said unto him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen me you have believed. But blessed are those who have not seen me yet have believed.” We angels know that the Lord Jesus Christ will forever be known by his scars. But you don’t have to touch his scars to believe in him.

  Jesus spoke many things to them saying, “All authority has been given unto me in heaven and in earth. Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son an
d of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.” He then opened their understanding that they might comprehend the scriptures.” Then he told them to wait and tarry in Jerusalem until they were clothed with power from on high. He led them out as far as Bethany and lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was still blessing them he was carried up into heaven where Michael and I were silently watching through heavens open window. He sat down at his Fathers right hand and began to rule and reign as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

  His disciples worshipped him as he was taken up into heaven and hidden from their natural sight. They returned to Jerusalem with great joy. By faith they had applied to their heart of hearts the shed blood of the Lamb that was shed upon the cross of glory. They believed and were therefore redeemed and received eternal life. We angels knew that whoever believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, received eternal life, the same eternal life that Adam had received when he inhaled the exhaled
