[QUOTE="paul1149, post: 68043795, member: 280608"] I can only give you some impressions I have gleaned about heaven and our current relationship to it. Revelation 6.10 has the spirits of martyrs crying out for justice over their deaths. Evidently heaven currently struggles along with us until "this present darkness" is finally dealt with decisively. Hebrews speaks of a communion of the saints that spans the two dimensions: [INDENT][COLOR=darkred] you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. -Heb 12:22-24 [/COLOR][/INDENT] Jesus gives more insight when He is questioned about marriage: [INDENT] [COLOR=darkred] Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. -Mark 12:24-25 [/COLOR] [/INDENT] Finally, [URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+21-22&version=NLT']Revelation 21 and 22[/URL] is an absolutely beautiful passage on the new heaven and new earth, showing the city of New Jerusalem descending from heaven and alighting on earth, God himself "wiping away every tear from their eyes", and renewed access to the Tree of Life, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations.
