I was at the hospital a few months ago and one room with a terminally ill child was plastered with pictures of the paradies earth with the ressurected being embraced by their families. THey even had that trade mark river in the back ground only one small exception. JESUS WAS THERE TOO! Not in the sky with crown and mace like in some many of our wonderful pictures, but on the ground in his robe and sandals. It was our Jesus oddly. By our jesus I mean the one from the greatest man book (short dark hair, sorta hispanic looking ) except he was in a plain brown robe instead of the white and blue ensomble the wts prefers. My mother oddly was atracted like a moth to the flame trying to see what exactly were these people. I did not stop to interogate them about the paradise.
So when did you christians start getting ressurected to the paradise earth instead of heaven? Oddly if I saw heaven pictures of people being reunited in cloud land that would weird me out. For some reason the paradise is so much more um marketable? Any idea what church these people were from or where do you buy paradise earth w/jesus iconography?
