you’re jumping the gun a bit

I make no attempt to relate the posting of these threads to holy days. The timing is entirely coincidental as I proceed sequentially from Genesis through Revelation.

The question of the nature of the Risen Lord's ascent carries interest for me also. The details of His manner of soaring which you describe are inscrutable to us and thus are fodder for artistic conjecture.

But I am drawn to speculate as to His pure enjoyment of it as it occurred: a new adventure for the GodMan, air rushing past, earth diminishing, angels welcoming, anticipation of His new role...and, perhaps above all else, His hilarious profound satisfaction that It Is Finished. Since as our high priest He can empathize with our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15), so now we can vicariously sense our Brother's joy.

To: Hebrews 11:6

“... air rushing past, ascending slowly ...”
Reminds me of Ruth Bell Graham’s poem on the same subject.

Thanks for all your research on these fascinating and inspiring subjects.

Blessings
