When Paul said, “I have been crucified together with Christ” (Galatians 2:20), it meant he had been judged, condemned, cast out, stripped naked, and nailed to the cross.
Then his soul became sin, by YHVH transferring our sin into his soul.
Isaiah 52: 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
His seed refers to us the 42 generation. https://glorytogodministries.site/blog/42nd-generation/
The very thought of crucifixion to a Jew, and especially to a Pharisee, brought a sense of shame and horror.
When Saul of Tarsus identified himself with the Man Jesus, accepted Him as his Savior, and confessed Him as his Lord, in that moment, he became a crucified man to the Jewish people.
He became an outcast. No wonder he said, “The world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Galatians 6:14).
The world had been stripped naked to Paul. There was no longer any delusion in regard to it. He could no longer be deceived.
He knew its cruelty. He had felt its lash upon his back.
He remembered the stoning that had left him dead where he ascended to the third heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.
Caught “harpazō” to seize catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).
This is the same word used in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 where people teach on the rapture, but I have never heard anyone teach on it correctly.
Yes I believe in the rapture and yes I believe in Hades, but I do not have time to teach on these subjects and the last days and they are very controversial, but I do have some teaching on the “hell” and “the bible fulfilled” on my website which are by other ministries if you want to check them out by looking for the category.
But when I put something from another ministry on my website, it does not mean that I believe the same way, it is my bible school website that I created for myself, and I will use it when I make outlines from it, when I go into public ministry, which will be very soon now.
His body was still on the earth, so he was still in his body when he was raptured.
Now this is what I believe, but I was not there, so it is just a personal belief, but the Holy Spirit has not corrected me on it yet, so it is probably true, But a revelation is different than a word from God, which you can find on the posts confirmation, or look in the categories on my website.
It is the only message I have in it on the subject, but have written other messages concerning it, but I got 4,727 messages on my website and do not have the time to find a couple paragraphs on the subject to put it in that category.
Acts 14:19 Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, regarding him to be dead.
I believe he died went to heaven while still in the body, because when you actually ascend to heaven, what seems to be a long time being in heaven can only be a minute here on earth, because time is different in heaven. Heaven is not eternity; it was created by YHVH.
Paul remembered that in every place he went, he faced the anger, bitterness, and jealousy of men. He had been stripped naked to the world.
He was dead to the world as far as the religious system was concerned.
