When we finally leave this earth and go to be with the Lord God Almighty unto the Heavenly Jerusalem

What do you imagine this place where He resides to be like?

When getting there will you have a lot of questions to be asked then?

Would it, to you, be possible for free-will to exist in this place with the Lord God Almighty?

Will we be able see Jesus Christ of Nazareth?

What do you imagine there will be to do here in this new place?

When pass on unto this place, will we receive a new body from our old one?

What do you say about animals being around in this place? Even pets from the past?

What you think about having your family with you?

Would you believe that some say you wont even be able to tell who each other were at one point (family)?

Please feel free to share whatever comes to your mind about this topic, it would lovely to hear the responses from each person who does!



Some say, there is virgins and other wives to be taken in heaven.
Some say, there is probably radical waves and oceans to be surfed along side.
Some say, there is cloud sitting, playing instruments and singing.
Some say, there is nothing but worshiping proclaiming to the Lord God Almighty day and night.
Some say, possibly if there isn't any ocean in heaven they might not even wanna be there!

I always suspected we would be able to think rather than talk to all there. And of we had a really great idea others would know and enhance it, and no one would take credit because that would no longer matter. Think of all the cool things that would come out of us even now if we shared, without judging and gave without expecting any credit. That's how I see heaven, a place of unlimited love and understanding and acceptance.

Mercy Me - I Can Only Imagine Lyrics
I can only imagine what it will be like

When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When Your face is before me
I can only imagine
Yeah

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus?
Or in awe of You be still?

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing, Hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the sun
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus?
Or in awe of You be still?

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing, Hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus?
Or in awe of You be still?

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing, Hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine

I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When all I would do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine

I can't imagine it because it's a place where no one lies to you. There are no hidden agendas or motives. No one is stabbing you in the back or uses you as a means to an end.

I have no clue what such a place would even resemble here on earth.

Once when the resurrection was fresh and faith strong, I believe they came close:

" Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need." Acts 2.44

Of course most theologians call this dogma because they simply cannot believe true believers can act this way. So perhaps the real answer is, not likely today.

When I was a kid, I would look forward to Christmas all the time. But as an adult, I no longer look forward to Christmas--because I know Christmas lies at the END of Christmas season. December 26th consists of retailers tearing down their decorations and putting up New Year's sales. January 2nd involves lots of boxes all over my house, as I tear down the decorations I worked so hard to put up.

You are living in the Christmas SEASON. Don't miss out on Christmas SEASON because you are too busy looking forward to Christmas. We are here now, and we have a job to do.

Isaiah 64:4
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Psalms 31:19-20
19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
1 Corinthians 2:9
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

The Bible doesn't teach that people go to Heaven.

Well, first, it needs to be mentioned that there is a difference between “heaven” and the final “new earth” that faithful believers will eternally live upon. “Heaven” is a temporary place for the true believer, and it is the “new earth” that will be the place where the genuine believer will reside for all time.

I imagine it will be as in The Last Battle from the Narnia series:

It is hard to explain how this sunlit land was different from the old Narnia as it would be to tell you how the fruits of that country taste. Perhaps you will get some idea of it if you think like this.You may have been in a room in which there was a window that looked out on a lovely bay of the sea or a green valley that wound away among mountains. And in the wall of that room opposite to the window there may have been a looking-glass. And as you turned away from the window you suddenly caught sight of that sea or that valley, all over again, in the looking- glass. And the sea in the mirror, or the valley in the mirror, were in one sense just the same as the real ones: yet at the same time they were somehow different–deeper, more wonderful, more like places in a story: in a story you have never heard but very much want to know. The difference between the old Narnia was like that. The new one was a deeper country: every rock and flower and blade of grass looked as if it meant more. I can’t describe it any better than that: if you ever get there you will know what I mean. - C.S. Lewis

When we finally leave this earth and go to be with the Lord God Almighty unto the Heavenly Jerusalem

What do you imagine this place where He resides to be like?

Jesus says He goes to prepare a place for us. I am sure it is really awesome if we are faithful to Him in this life. New Jerusalem will come down out of heaven and land upon the new earth.

You said:
When getting there will you have a lot of questions to be asked then?

Yes. Asking God to show us things in Bible history would be really cool (as long as it is in line with His will and purposes).

You said:
Would it, to you, be possible for free-will to exist in this place with the Lord God Almighty?

Scripture does not say; But in the final new earth we will no longer have the capacity to sin anymore.

You said:
Will we be able see Jesus Christ of Nazareth?

Most definitely. He will be the light thereof.

You said:
What do you imagine there will be to do here in this new place?

Worship the Lord. Marvel in His new earth creation. Continually make new friends. Talk with God every day. Learn even more about His Word. Know of a love and a joy that is unimaginable.

You said:
When pass on unto this place, will we receive a new body from our old one?

In heaven, believers will receive a spiritual body like that of angels. In the millennium, and the new earth, believers will be resurrected after the DNA of their Messiah. Will they look the same as before? Jesus says He makes all things new. So there is a chance we may be unrecognizable to others.

What do you say about animals being around in this place?

What matters is only what Scripture says. The Bible says,

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” (Isaiah 11:6).

You said:
Even pets from the past?

While the Bible does not go into detail about this, it does say:

“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” (Romans 8:21).

You said:
What you think about having your family with you?

While that would be great, we have to be willing to accept that our earthly family may not be onboard with following Jesus.

You said:
Some say, there is virgins and other wives to be taken in heaven.

In the Rapture or the spiritual body type resurrection up to Heaven:

“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Matthew 22:30).

The physical flesh and blood body type resurrections that happens in two phases (i.e. the Millennium and later in the New Earth):

Jesus says,

“But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” (Matthew 22:31-32).

In other words, all things will be new. It will be a new beginning. So most likely marriage will happen on the new earth, but everyone will choose one mate again.

You said:
Some say, there is probably radical waves and oceans to be surfed along side.

In the final new earth there will be no more sea according to Revelation 21:1. However, Revelation 22:1-2 tells us about a river that comes out of the throne of God. So there will be no ocean. As for the waves: Scripture does not say. Surfers have created whole made waves out of a river before. You can check that out at YouTube. So anything is possible (if it is in line with the Lord's will for us to do that there). I imagine there is going to be plenty of other activities and fun things to do in the New Earth. Worship God is at the top of the list of course.

You said:
Some say, there is cloud sitting, playing instruments and singing.

Not sure about the cloud sitting part. We will be human on the New Earth. Maybe in Heaven we will be able to float or fly around because in Heaven we will be like the angels. But such a thing is temporary. But playing instruments and singing will definitely take place for sure.

You said:
Some say, there is nothing but worshiping proclaiming to the Lord God Almighty day and night.

In regards to the new earth: I imagine that will happen a lot, but I believe God wanted Adam and Eve to do other things in the paradise garden he created for them. Man was supposed to have dominion over the earth and the things within it. Man was supposed to tend to the garden. I believe we will have time to make friends and to talk about many things and do many activities all to the glory of God.

You said:
Some say, possibly if there isn't any ocean in heaven they might not even wanna be there!

Then they are making the ocean their God. Nothing should ever come before God when it comes to what we love. We should love God more than anything else. This includes even our family. So they have their priorities wrong, and most likely they have not met God if they said that.

Narnia is filled with witchcraft that the Bible condemns.
So I would not regard anything Lewis has to say about Heaven.
