Heaven Opened

In the New Testament the heavens are opened on four great occasions. The first was the baptism of Jesus, when the Father expressed His delight in the Blessed One. Another occurred at the death of Stephen to whom was granted a sight of the glory of God, and of Jesus standing on the right hand of God. The public appearing of the Lord Jesus as given in Rev. 19 will be another occasion. The fourth will take place in a subsequent day when the angels of God shall be seen ascending and descending upon the Son of Man (John 1:51,) The last scripture looks forward to the millennium.
