Heaven is the home for those who want to see and experience the greatness of their God in a way their heart has always desired, but has never been able to achieve fully here on earth.

      [Rabbi T. Nassi on Rosh HaShannah]…the three-fold sound of the ram’s horn which is sounded on Rosh Hashanah, is an emblem of the Three-fold nature of G-d. . While the shofar is being blown in the Synagogue on Rosh HaShannah the following remarkably significant prayer is offered: . Merciful and gracious G-d, I have sinned against Thee, and done that which is evil in Thy sight. Have mercy on me and forgive all my transgressions, trespasses and sins, through >Yehoshua< the Prince of His Presence.1 . In most prayer books of the present day this prayer is omitted, and the following offered instead: . May it please Thee, O L-rd G-d, and the G-d of our fathers, that Thou mayest accept it as the meditation through Elijah and Joshua, the Prince of the Presence, the Prince Metatron and that Thou mayest be filled with mercy towards us. Blessed art Thou, O L-rd Who art merciful. . The angel Metatron, according to Jewish theology, was he who discoursed with Moses[2] and the angel in whom G-d placed His Name. The following from the Zohar is of interest in this case: . There is a man, if a Man He is, Who is an Angel.This Angel is Metatron, the Keeper of Israel; He is a man in the image of the Holy One, blessed be He, Who is an Emanation from Him [from G-d]; yea, He [the Metatron] is Jehovah. Of Him cannot be said, He is created, formed or made; but He is the Emanation from G-d.3 . 1.Salvation:don’t have the referrance handy to look it up for myself as to the exact form of the word used…seems to be Joshua. from the Prayer Book For The New Year (1913). Rev.Dr.A.Th.Phillips, page 100. 2.Exodus 3:2-15 3.Zohar, chapter 67, page 130.

      Now, brothers, we want you to know the truth about those who have died; otherwise, you might become said the way other people do who have nothing to hope for. For since we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, we also believe that in the same way God, through Yeshua, will take with Him those who have died. When we say this, we base it on the Lord’s own Word: we who remain alive when the Lord comes will certainly not take precedence over those who have died. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling angels, and with God’s shofar/{ram’s horn}; those who died united with the Messiah will be the first to rise; then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord. So encourage each other with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18/JNT
