I began to talk about this before but I made some people mad I guess, so I let it go and haven't pursued speaking on this again. The problem I'm having now, is that the Lord continues to show me scriptures which affirm what I have said...that we are to be living under an open heaven, with access behind the veil of the supernatural.
In these end times we should mature and grow into the truth of what it means to be a mature Christian. In this way, we can be useful to Christ and the Kingdom, instead of stagnating in our growth. It must be important, for the Lord keeps reminding me of it and showing me new things about it in scripture. So I think I'm to bring this up again here and talk about it.
I encourage you all to debunk me, with scripture. I have a lot of scripture to back me up on this, so do be thorough if you attempt to explain that I am wrong about this. Besides, who wouldn't want to live under an open heaven?!
I'll begin with Jacob's Ladder. Jacob's Ladder (Hebrew: Sulam Yaakov סולם יעקב) is the colloquial name for a connection between the earth and heaven that the biblical Patriarch Jacob dreams about during his flight from his brother Esau, as described in the Book of Genesis.
Genesis 28:10-22 describes the dream that Jacob had about a ladder which goes from earth to heaven. Notice it does not say from heaven to earth. I read Matthew Henry's commentary on Jacob's vision to see what he had to say about it, and to make sure I wasn't way off in left field. Turns out I'm not, lol...Here's a link to that:

(Excerpt)
Jacob saw a ladder which reached from earth to heaven, the angels going up and coming down, and God himself at the head of it. This represents, 1. The providence of God, by which there is a constant intercourse kept up between heaven and earth. This let Jacob know that he had both a good guide and a good guard. 2. The mediation of Christ. He is this ladder; the foot on earth in his human nature, the top in heaven in his Divine nature. Christ is the Way; all God's favours come to us,.../
Constant intercourse kept up between heaven and earth. Yep. :yes
