Title: Heaven Post by: papacheerio on September 27, 2007, 03:07:00 PM :) Have you ever wondered what Heaven will be like, afterall, we will be spending eternity there and that is forever? I believe, being totally in God's presence will be awesome,to say the least.
Title: Re: Heaven Post by: nChrist on September 27, 2007, 03:21:24 PM Hello PapaCheerio,
YES, I have wondered about Heaven many times, and there are some beautiful portions of Scripture that give us a hint. I remember having a conversation like this recently with a strong and sweet Christian woman. We were talking about what we looked forward to most, and she said, "I want to see my Saviour's Face." Think just about that and know how awesome that would be. Now, know that there is more. I have a couple of favorite posts that will give you just a beginning hint about the beautiful Promises of GOD. Love In Christ, Tom (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/tlr10/357/rev1_8.gif) Title: Re: Heaven Post by: nChrist on September 27, 2007, 03:22:15 PM (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/tlr10/relig/relig150.gif) KEEP LOOKING UP! THE RAPTURE WILL BE A REALITY! 1 Thessalonians 4:13 NASB But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 NASB For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 NASB For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 NASB For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 NASB Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 NASB Therefore comfort one another with these words. ____________________________ 1 Corinthians 15:50 NASB Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 1 Corinthians 15:51 NASB Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 1 Corinthians 15:52 NASB in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:53 NASB For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:54 NASB But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. 1 Corinthians 15:55 NASB "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" 1 Corinthians 15:56 NASB The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 1 Corinthians 15:57 NASB but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:58 NASB Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, ____________________________ Revelation 21:4 NASB and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." Revelation 21:5 NASB And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He *said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." Revelation 21:6 NASB Then He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. Revelation 21:7 NASB "He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. Revelation 21:8 NASB "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:9 NASB Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." Revelation 21:10 NASB And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, Revelation 21:11 NASB having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. Revelation 21:12 NASB It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. Revelation 21:13 NASB There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west. Revelation 21:14 NASB And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Revelation 21:15 NASB The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall. Revelation 21:16 NASB The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal. Revelation 21:17 NASB And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements. Revelation 21:18 NASB The material of the wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. Revelation 21:19 NASB The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; Revelation 21:20 NASB the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. Revelation 21:21 NASB And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. Revelation 21:22 NASB I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. Revelation 21:23 NASB And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. Title: Re: Heaven Post by: nChrist on September 27, 2007, 03:23:17 PM (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/tlr10/relig/relig041.gif) Revelation 22:1 NASB Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, Revelation 22:2 NASB in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Revelation 22:3 NASB There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; Revelation 22:4 NASB they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. Revelation 22:5 NASB And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:6 NASB And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true"; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. Revelation 22:7 NASB "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book." Revelation 22:8 NASB I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Title: Re: Heaven Post by: Soldier4Christ on September 27, 2007, 03:33:06 PM The Bible does tell us what it will be like in Heaven. It will be so wonderful and magnificent that the human mind cannot fathom the extent of His greatness.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. This is just one of the many that tells us what it will be like. Some of the others are posted above. Title: Re: Heaven Post by: Brother Jerry on September 27, 2007, 04:41:24 PM Some people say it will be sunny and bright and cheerful...others do not like the sun so it will dark and gloomy.....
I say it will be just like God made it, perfect. Title: Re: Heaven Post by: David_james on September 27, 2007, 04:49:14 PM Amen everyone

I say it will be just like God made it, perfect. With God there will be no need for a sun or moon for light because "the Lamb is the light thereof". ( Rev 21:23 ) Title: Re: Heaven Post by: Def on September 27, 2007, 05:07:27 PM David when you are done hugging Jesus
