Immanuel, God with us, has become the gate of heaven, Jacob's ladder, whereby we've gained access through his blood into the heavenly kingdom. His Kingdom transcends all spacial categories, and is everywhere present and filling all things. We live in a one story universe, with angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. Heaven and earth have been united in Christ's embodiment.
We have countless angels and saints who are in perpetual prayer before the Throne of God. We are summoned to request their intercessions and realize that we are never alone in the earthly struggle (Hebrews 11-12; Revelation 6-8; Genesis 28; John 1).
