According to the Bible, heaven is exactly what it's supposed to be: A place where you will feel completely at home...in a real body, not some cloudy substance floating around.
Revelation 22:1-2, "And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
The Prophet Ezekiel states that he caught a glimpse of this wonderful river and these Heavenly trees and described them thus:
Ezekiel 47:12, "Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine."
You may be wondering why "medicine" would be needed. According to several verses, it appears that those who "dwell" in this heavenly City are not "stuck" there, but will be travelling outside of it bringing leaves from this amazing tree to heal those still living on the New Earth.
Isaiah 60:20, "The Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended."
