Where is Jesus Christ now according to Paul's revelation?

According to Paul's revelation, the risen Jesus Christ is now in glory. Paul certifies that the gospel he preached was not received from man but by revelation of Jesus Christ, who is presently in glory. This truth was revealed after His death, burial, and resurrection, unknown to the Twelve. Paul's gospel came by revelation from the glorified Christ.

Les teaches from Galatians 1:11-12 that Paul certifies the gospel he preached was not after man. Paul neither received it from man nor was taught it, but received it by the revelation of Jesus Christ, who is now in glory. Les explains this revelation came after Christ's death, burial, and resurrection—events the Twelve did not understand beforehand. They did not know He would die, and after the crucifixion they had no idea He would be raised. God revealed this truth especially to Paul, the Apostle. Before this, Paul persecuted the assembly of God and wasted it.

Galatians 1:12

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
