Hebrews 12:23-24: “to the assembly of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous who have been made perfect, to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.”
And who is this assembly and these spirits of the righteous who have been made perfect? It is the cloud of witnesses.
Here, the earthly Babylonian thought differs from the thought of the kingdom of God.
The body of Christ is eternal; it is not only of those of us who are alive now but of all those saints made perfect through the resurrection.
