God resurrected this Jesus.—Acts 2:32.

 

In heaven, Jesus lives “forever and ever,” never seeing corruption. (Rev. 1:5, 18; Rom. 6:9; Col. 1:18; 1 Pet. 3:18) He had assured his faithful apostles that they would rule with him in heaven. (Luke 22:28-30) Paul wrote that “Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep in death.” Paul went on to indicate that there would be others raised to heavenly life, adding: “Each one in his own proper order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence.” (1 Cor. 15:20, 23) Since 1914 we have been living during Jesus’ promised “presence.” It is still continuing, and the end of this wicked system of things is now very near. w17.12 10 ¶11; 11 ¶14-16
