Ascension Mount of Olives



                   Now as they were gathered in the upper-room they went out from Jerusalem. He
                   took them out as far as Bethany and ascended the road to the Mount of Olives.
                   He said to them go to the entire world and teach my gospel to the whole creation.
                   He who believes and is baptized shall be saved. He who does not believe will be
                   condemned. He lifted up has hands and blessed them and breathed one them
                   receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. I am with you eternally.  When he
                   had finished speaking these things he ascended to heaven. Two men stood by in
                   white robes and as they looked toward him as he ascended a cloud received him
                   and he was hidden from them. Peter and John said to those who stood watching
                   the ascension men of Galilee why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This
                   same Jesus, who has ascended from you into heaven, shall so come in like
                   manner as you have seen him ascend into heaven.  The raised their hands and
                   worshipped and returned to Jerusalem from the mount which is called Olivet
                   which is near to Jerusalem about a mile away. There were over 500 eye
                   witnesses to the ascension of Jesus Christ on the Mount of Olives. After they had
                   entered into the city they went up into the upper room where they stayed. Peter
                   and Andrew; James and John; Philip and Nathaniel; Matthew and Thomas;
                   James the son of Alpheus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the Son of James.
                   These all continued together in prayer with one accord. On the day of Pentecost
                   there was over a 120 gathered in the upper room. This Gospel has been written
                   so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and when you
                   believe you shall have life everlasting in his name.

                                            Quintessence of Ezekiel 9:1-11:
                   The Voice of the Lord said come near oh you avengers. Behold from the north six
                   men girded in girdles of sapphire came by the way of the upper north gate and
                   every man had destroying weapons.

                   There was a man in the midst of them clothed in linen and the six men were
                   girded in girdles of sapphire. They came and stood at the altar of God.
                   The Word of the Lord stood on the cornerstone of the altar and was raised up
                   above the altar. He spoke to the man clothed in linen. He said to him go through
                   Jerusalem place a mark upon their foreheads; those men who sigh and who are
                   tormented on account of abominations and evil things done in the midst of
                   Jerusalem place the mark upon their foreheads.

                   He then said to the six men girded in girdles of sapphire and destroying
                   weapons. Go after him through the city and destroy. Let not your eyes neither
                   spare nor have pity. Slay utterly old and young; both virgins and women; little
