Excuse me? I'm pretty sure Revelations is a book in the Bible.
He seems to be bothered (and seemingly rather petty) because it's called the Book of the Revelation or just the Revelation--there's no 's'. "Revelations" is a common misnomer.

Animals do not have eternal souls / spirits, so no they don't. Only humans are made in God's image, so only we survive death intrinsically.

I agree with the others that animals have souls, but they were not made in His Image, so therefore, they are not immortal. They do not carry on after they die on earth. There will, however, be animals in His Kingdom when it's transformed - new heaven and earth just as there were animals in Eden at the beginning, is my belief.
Yes, that's what I believe as well.I'd agree there will be animals, just not the same ones who died before. OTOH, there will be people and they will be the same ones. Job's restoration is the example of this.
According to the Bible, animals do go to Heaven. ...Forgive me for starting yet another thread, but this is something I've been wondering about since I was a child, and I would love to get different opinions and perspectives on it. As a big animal lover, I always found it troubling when I heard various places that animals do not go to heaven. Is this Biblical? And if they don't, why don't they go to heaven, aren't they God's creations as well? Finally, where do they go if not heaven? I've heard it say that they don't have souls (which I strongly disagree with, if there is such a thing as a soul, animals have them as much as we do). Should they be cast into hell for not being human and thus having no way of understanding the Gospel?

As if on cue....today's "Rubes" comic....
If something is alive, Biblically, it must have a soul.
If something doesn't have a soul, according to both right-believing Christians and Jews, it isn't alive.
Since other animals besides humans are alive, they must have souls.
Oh really? I just showed, using the Bible, where there are animals in heaven.
Can you show, using the Bible, there there are not?
No, you can't. Thank you.
