1. When did that happen?
2. Of which heaven was He speaking? The universe?

It would seem from the scripture you referenced that Christ received all power in heaven and earth at that time, when he was resurrected.

(Mat 28:18)  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

As the son of Man, I believe He had "emptied" Himself of His previous glory. 

(Php 2:6)  Who, being inherently in the form of God, deems it not pillaging to be equal with God,

(Php 2:7)  nevertheless empties Himself, taking the form of a slave, coming to be in the likeness of humanity,


The heavens, refer to authority over the heavenly spiritual forces that we wrestle with.

(Eph 6:12)  for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials." ( heavens)

Dear forum members

Ray addressed many of the points which have been raised in this thread ; the audio of the
2007 Nashville Conference:  (audio 6) 'THE UNIVERSE!' http://bible-truths.com/audio/Nashville07_6.mp3 is one which will shed light on many of the uncertainties which people have been contemplating.

I was "led" to listen to them by randomly selecting a copy I had made onto a cassette and was pleasantly surprised to hear Ray speaking on this very topic.
May I suggest that you take time to have a listen.
There are transcripts also available, for which I am sure Dave can supply details.

Another is  (audio 7A) 'WHO IS THE FATHER?'  http://bible-truths.com/audio/Nashville07_7A.mp3
Some might not be aware of points made clear by Ray in this conference, many years ago, and will find them illuminating and helpful in refreshing what had “faded” for me.        Colin
