1st or 2nd Ascension?

[ClubV12]

We know Jesus ascended Sunday morning, sometime after telling Mary not to touch Him. And I conclude He returned sometime Sunday late afternoon or evening when He next appeared to the assembled disciples. Who could NOW touch Him.

Now this is according to Seventh-day Adventist views and the prophets book, Desire of Ages.

The question is: WHAT did He DO in heaven that Sunday before returing to earth for forty days on Sunday afternoon?

Desire of Ages picks up the story at Revelation chapter 4 and 5.

[brackets are my comments] Is this happening on SUNDAY MORNING at His FIRST ascension? Or upon His return, 40 days later?

"There is the throne, [Father on throne in Holy Place] and around it the rainbow of promise. There are cherubim and seraphim. The commanders of the angel hosts, the sons of God [who are they?], the representatives of the unfallen worlds, are assembled. The heavenly council [who is this?] before which Lucifer had accused God and His Son, the representatives of those sinless realms [more unfallen worlds or Solar Systems?] over which Satan had thought to establish his dominion,--all are there to welcome the Redeemer. They are eager to celebrate His triumph and to glorify their King. But He waves them back... [as He did Mary?]. Not yet; He cannot now receive the coronet of glory and the royal robe. He enters into the presence of His Father. He points to His wounded head, the pierced side, the marred feet; He lifts His hands, bearing the print of nails. He points to the tokens of His triumph; He presents to God the wave sheaf [He arose on the DAY of the wave sheaf offering, a Sunday], those raised with Him as representatives of that great multitude who shall come forth from the grave at His second coming. He approaches the Father, with whom there is joy over one sinner that repents; who rejoices over one with singing. Before the foundations of the earth were laid, the Father and the Son had united in a covenant to redeem man if he should be overcome by Satan. They had clasped Their hands in a solemn pledge that Christ should become the surety for the human race. This pledge Christ has fulfilled. When upon the cross He cried out, "It is finished," He addressed the Father. The compact had been fully carried out. Now He declares: Father, it is finished. I have done Thy will, O My God. I have completed the work of redemption. If Thy justice is satisfied, "I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am." John 19:30; 17:24. The voice of God is heard proclaiming that justice is satisfied."
