Les Feldick Bible Study

Did Jesus ascend in the same body He left from Mount Olives?

He is bodily in heaven, not an invisible spirit. The same body He left from Mount Olives and ascended is now in the Godhead, with all fullness manifested in Christ Himself. Therefore, His ascension body is the same one He departed with.

Les explains that Jesus is not in some invisible, mythical, myth-like spirit world but is bodily in heaven. The same body He left from Mount Olives and ascended is now epitomized in the Godhead, with all the fullness manifested in Christ Himself. Les ties this to Ephesians 1, where God purposed everything within Himself so that in the dispensation of the fullness of time He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both in heaven and on earth. That final period is the Millennium, the thousand-year reign. Repetition, Les says, is the only way these things finally soak in.
