John 1:51 And He said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, You shall see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
[John 1:51] is the fulfilment of Jacob’s dream (Gen. 28:11-22). Christ as the Son of Man, with His humanity, is the ladder set up on earth and leading to heaven, keeping heaven open to earth and joining earth to heaven for the house of God, Bethel. (John 1:51 footnote, Holy Bible Recovery Version)
The center of every spiritual dream is Christ as the ladder, as the One who brings heaven to earth and joins earth to heaven. Whenever we sense deep within that we have been joined to and made one with heaven, and that heaven has been made one with us, that is an experience of Christ. We should forget about trying to overcome sin and weakness. The proper experience in life is to have a dream of Christ as the heavenly ladder which has been set up on earth and which brings us into heaven…When you touch this ladder, you will be in heaven, heaven will be yours, and there will be much traffic between earth and heaven and between heaven and earth. You will have whatever you need, and every negative thing will be under your feet. This is the experience of Christ as the heavenly ladder. (Life Study of Genesis, pp.884-885,889-890)
