Have you ever wonder what time it is and the alarm has not gone off quite, yet, and then that noise alarm goes off and saying it is time, it's time to get up. Well whatever you alarm sounds like, I can guarantee you know what it means. It means you lazy person, get out of bed. It says why not get up a few minutes earlier. No it speaking the time you better get moving right out of bed and hopefully do. God's timing is always perfect, even when it concerns opening of doors.

As the woman approached the grave of Jesus, an earthquake occurred, we might call it after shock from a few days before, or perhaps it was more then an after shock. Not even sure if Hebrew/greek language can separate that information in that year, but that matters not. Who was standing there but the women. The women who had come not knowing how they roll away the stone so they could finish the anointing process of the body for burial. The angel of the Lord descended and rolled back the stone from the door. The door is open, not for the women's burial chore to be done, but so they could see the empty tomb. The angel sat upon the stone door. His countenance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow. And those that kept watch that night shook not only with fright but became like dead men. The Angel tells the women who still standing in amazement fear not,for the one you seek he has risen.

Now think for a moment why did those women not faint or die like the men at the tomb. What had they witness? They had seen the rising of Lazarus, the lame walking, the blind seeing and so forth. Some of them experience the touch of Jesus themselves with miracles. Mary Magadeline healed from seven demons. What had they witness, what about his mother, his mysterious virgin conception alone. Now with wonderment of the event of the stone rolling away by the power of the angel, God sent with earthquake and him coming down from heaven. To do what show the women Jesus was risen. To tell them the tomb was empty. The door of death could not retain Jesus.

God told Noah to take his family and all the animals out of the ark. They had remained inside until the land was dry. God tells man to go forth and multiple the earth. They are within but the earth is without animals and human life. Yet God tells man to go forth out of the tomb/place of safety/time vault/however you might like to describe the ark. God word coming forth inside the ark telling Noah it is time.

When we talk about the coming of Lord, he descend with a shout and those that remain will be caught up with him in the air and the dead in Christ will rise first and meet him in the sky. Open door the door of eternal life for those that died, the door of eternity. The door that comes with trumpet and the voice of the Archangel. Is this Archangel God, the Archangel means chief of the angels. The one over top of the angels, the ones in charge of the angels. Whose in charge, Christ is. How do I know? Angel often in Greek and Hebrew mean minister, whether human or spiritual being, depends on whether they are descending down from heaven or walking this earth. Satan/serpent fell trying to take the place of who? God. Adam and Eve were cast out of paradise with the serpent. Many verse going through my head concerning these things, but If I posted them all, we be hear all day. Let's keep it short. I sure you can do your own searching or continue reading scripture til you one day find and say oh that is what she meant or was that what she or God's word was talking about. The door of heaven was closed to man because of sin, but one day a new door, a new heaven and new earth will be created for mankind. The door is opened by God himself, not by man. Remember open doors and shut doors is of God's doing. It is okay. Man shuts many doors but opens them again, the one's that God opens and shuts might not be opened or shut again, because of destruction. Great is God's faithfulness to deliver his word with open and shut doors. The door of earth open again with a new begining for Noah and his family. The door shut to the elements of destruction to be felt by those within the ark of safety. Paradise/Eden a place of Holiness, and open to Adam first when God placed him there, and yet closed when he sinned. With faith the door was reopened to the believer in the form of heaven. The door of heaven will be reopened to bring gather his children together for the coming of God's wrath with final destruction and a new heaven and a new earth, with a new begining. Great is God faithfulness to deliver as promised of both open and closed doors.

Dear Heavenly Father, as we study your word, let your greatness be declared by opening and shutting of doors to us. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
