WHEN HEAVEN IS CLOSED

       Heaven is often referred to the paradise of the afterlife in certain religions, considered to be the home of God; a blissful place or experience. Christianity has taught Heaven as the location of the throne of God as well as the Holy angels. It is also known as a sacred place of God where there is abundance, where hope of eternity lies and where good thing that the world can not comprehend. Its beauty is said to be beyond expression.
      Closed means to sealed up; made inaccessible or impassable; not open; what is lacking free variable.
      When heaven is closed: it means God is inaccessible; no communion or fellowship with God; no answer to request; it means there is no dew or rain to wet the dry land, at this point life becomes miserable, unpleasant and every effort becomes a waste. Men are just working like an elephant and eating like ants.; they sow much but reap little; eat but do not have enough; drink but are not filled with drink; cloth themselves but no one is warm; He who earn wages, earn wages to put into a bag with holes (Haggai 1:6). When heaven is close famine is inevitable (2King 24-30); drought comes into play.
      When Heaven is closed, destiny lies in ruin; every effort becomes fruitless; every attempt becomes a waste of time.
