Facts Concerning
Heaven
1. Heaven is full of
light Revelation 7:16b,
I Timothy 6:16b, Revelation 21 :23-25
all give indication that there is this great light in heaven from God and we
don't
need to have other lights in heaven.
2. Nobody is hungry or
thirsty in heaven.
Revelation 7: 16-17.
3. There will be
animals and creatures in heaven.
Revelation 19: 11 and other
passages like it seem to point toward creatures and animals in heaven. These
scriptures could be figurative and many would say since animals don't have souls
then they won't live again. Look at Ecclesiastes 3:18-20.
4. Nobody cries in
Heaven. Revelation 7:
17, Psalm 56:8-9. It's not just that the tear
ducts won't work, but that there will be no sadness.
5. There is no sorrow
or mourning or pain.
Revelation 21 :4.
6. We will have perfect
love for our mates in heaven.
Matthew 22:30 says that
there will not be marriage in heaven. God would not take away marriage unless
He intended to replace it with something better. Note Philippians 4:3,
Revelation
3:5, Revelation 20:12-15 and that they indicate that our names are written in
heaven and so we will be known there. In the transfiguration the apostles
immediately knew who Moses and Elijah were. There will be instant recognition
of our loved ones in heaven. Luke 16:19-26 indicates that they could even
recognize people from across the great chasm. When David's son died he said,
"Can I bring him back? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me." ( I
Samuel 12:23) "The Lord knows those who are His. (2 Timothy 2:19)
7. We can enjoy heaven
even if our loved ones don 't make it
Isaiah 65: 17.
8. There is no death in
heaven. Luke 20:36,
Revelation 21 :4.
9. Heaven is a place of
rest. Revelation 14:13.
10. There is great
rejoicing in heaven.
Luke 15:10.
11. There is
magnificent music in heaven.
Revelation 5:11-13, Revelation 14:3.
12. Heaven is a place
of absolute perfection.
It is a place of glory, honor
and
incorruption (Romans 2:7). Wickedness will not be allowed there (Ephesians
5:5). There will be no disasters. No smog. No radiation. No taxes. No mildew.
No weeds. No etc.
"What a day that will be; When my Jesus I shall see. When I look upon His face:
The one who saves me by His grace. When He takes me by the hand and leads me
through the promised land. What a day, glorious day, that will be! ! !"
